Blake Bortles was way better than Brissett or anyone available. They don't even have a path to the playoffs with any backup they could acquire. The league's depth at QB is terrible.

Wilson was a better QB than Josh Allen was, on a play to play basis. Any day Josh Allen plays like that, the Bills will lose to anyone. Their defense is good, but none of Allen's stupidity was forced.

The schedule is way too hard to be a playoff team with a backup-ceiling QB. There were no plays Sunday a disciplined but lower talent QB makes that Wilson didn't. Wilson's arm talent was their entire offensive production.

The problem with current AR/VR headsets is that they suck. They're not powerful enough to track motion at actual speed, or display in sufficient resolution and with properly adjusted lenses, so people get motion sickness while wearing them, or at least find it uncomfortable. The breakthrough of the Vision Pro is that it establishes a baseline experience where you can stick a virtual item in real space and it stays exactly there, and really looks like it's actually there in the space. This requires hideously expensive, absolute bleeding-edge of silicon design hardware to make possible.

Also pixel density.

Reading text on anything before the vision pro is going to make your eyes bleed. Vision pro looks like it finally crosses the minimum threshold for text clarity.

There isn't a backup in the league that makes them a contender.

I'm a certified Rodgers hater so I had to look. As a Patriots fan who never really hated the Jets, Bills, or Dolphins (I thought Rex Ryan was hilarious), this was the first Jets team I was actually ready to hate because of him. The idea of his ego finding someone to blame with that stacked defense and him dictating half their offense was really intriguing. I'm pretty let down that we didn't get to see if he could actually lead them as the QB or not.

The rest of his comments were basically fine. Maybe generic, but there's only so much you can say if you aren't on the field. But there always seems to be that one thing.

I feel like if I was there some of these things wouldn’t be happening

To be fair he couldn't go the whole quote without making it about himself.

I didn't think he was the reason the offense didn't do anything. The Patriots were extremely aggressive against the run on early downs because they knew for sure that's what was going to happen. On passing downs there was frequently nowhere to go with the ball. On most man coverage snaps Gonzalez had Garrett blanketed, and when they played zone they took good advantage of the situations to make windows consistently small.

Taking care of the ball might have made it the best showing against a Belichick defense he's shown so far. If developing him was your fallback plan going into the year, I don't think he's given you a reason to change it. Especially for a guy who also can't make decisions, but also can't throw, in Siemian.

As much as we all talk about the long term vision being a more accessible version, did people actually expect that to happen quickly? The $3500 version they're doing is priced insanely aggressively compared to the rest of the market for the tech in it. It was never going to happen overnight.

"Cancelling" a rumored product that they were at best in the exploratory phase of is pretty disingenuous.

Having the port on the bottom was by far the worst design decision of a bunch of bad design decisions for the Switch. It makes charging while using it a trash experience.

If the deck had 50 ports, 0 should be on the bottom.

TLDR: it isn't really used, allows for code execution, and is old enough that it wasn't designed with real threats in mind.

You know PC doesn't have physical games and tends to have the biggest price drops despite that?

That depends on the fabric.

People deliberately beat the shit out of denim or buy it beat to shit.

It's not playable with Bluetooth on any platform. Input lag is not mild. It's every bit as completely unplayable on Windows.
