Fixxxer, it’s funny you bring this up, as it was just discussed last week on NFLR by Kirwan and Mills.

That was hilarious. White for me as he just blankets the best WR’s. I’m actually shocked when I see a WR get one over on him.

I’ll take White ahead of Alligator arms Gilmore. White will mix it up. He’s not perfect, but who is perfect.

Doc, I was thinking the same thing. Bell gave up a $14.5 mil contract to lose that for a year and then only took $13.5 mil. On a crappy team with a buffoon for a coach, and didn’t even want him.Serves him and AB right. For such a storied franchise in the Steelers, they produced a couple of knuckleheads.

Kyle embodied this team and was a late round pick who assumed an incredible leadership role. I know it was a tough decade for the Bills until the end when Beane and McD showed up. This decade is going to be a lot of fun. Oh and PFF sucks.

I’m not worried about the deal as he was worth it, and this locker room won’t tolerate antics. He’ll be targeted a lot, and thus Brown and Beasley will not be able to get double teamed. The other part is between Singletary and Moss, opposing defenses will have difficulty covering everyone. It’s going to be a fun year even without many if not any fans in the seats.

FBF, you’re name suggests you live in FL, and myself in Tampa. I was born and raised in Buffalo, but moved to Tampa the week of the Bills/Giants SB. I’ve been to every Bills/Bucs since 93, a ton of Bills/Miami games, and Bills/Jax games including the 17 playoff game. It was awesome as the lower level was all Jags fans, but the entire upper deck was a sea of red, white, and royal blue. Sucked that we lost, but that defense was impressive.

Great pic my friend. I travel back to Buffalo Every year with my three kids. We have a family reunion on Saturday, and I’m up to 18 relatives who go to the game in September. More than half travel from NE, FL, Carolina, and so on. It’s a great time, but we’re passing this year. No one in my family wants to go to a stadium with this pandemic. Once there is a vaccine, we’ll be right back to it.

I think this thread is about first athletes, not celebrities. Anyway, the biggest loser I’ve ever me on a professional sports team was Warren Sapp. That bastage (kept it cleans mods) when a 7 year old boy came up to him at an open practice and politely asked him for a pic with his dad. He flippantly states “I don’t flick *itch”. What a douche. Then when his baby mama, eventually wife was having a baby at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital in Tampa, he was absolutely brutal to the entire nursing staff for a couple of days. My ex was the nurse manager at the time. She had to repeatedly try talking to him to be more polite, and then he was a jerk to her. I’ve never seen another athlete so rude to everyone he came in contact with including waitresses, bartenders, etc. It didn’t surprise me at all when he was nailed with solicitation during SB week and was fired from NFLN. My advice is keep walking if you ever see this guy.

I refuse to listen to this podcast. I really did like the person who broke down the QBR broken up by half seasons. I also thought it was funny the person referencing the only two nationally televised games. Allen has been a lightning rod from media pundits for two years, yet our team was 10-6 last year, and would have been 11-5 if we played our starters against the Jets in week 17.

I’ve met a lot of athletes over the years, but the person that comes to mind was my wrestling coach, Al Bemiller. He was my coach freshmen and sophomore year before he went onto other things. He was such a nice guy, and a decent coach.

What a pompous ass.

We’re just going to have a new person to hate. I wouldn’t want that job as fans are never happy, thinking it’s a conspiracy against their team, etc.

Nice breakdown brother. As long as Gase is the head coach, I’m not worried about the Jets. He didn’t even run an O Line to the strengths of Bell. Bell is a patient runner that fit perfect for how the Steelers ran their line. Gase wasn’t happy with the Bell acquisition, and was stubborn trying to change him. That doesn’t work. I’d bet a whole $ we sweep them this year.

I don’t care if they wore a mask, but it is kind of dumb to not keep their distance from each other. As far as the group, not sure why Beasley didn’t show, but then Smith, and Kroft weren’t there either. You would thInk Kroft would have shown unless he is just writing off he’ll be gone after this year.

I haven’t been a fan of Brady for the last 20 years, but not since Moss has Brady had this kind of talent in Evans, Godwin, Howard, Brate, etc. He’s going to have a good year with this talent and Arians is a heck of a coach. I don’t know nor does anyone else if they can compete with NO, as that is one complete team, but it will be fun to watch Brees vs. Brady even at their age. Oh, and I think McD could surprise people.

As GB said, this comment is not on Allen, just my general feeling is QB’s make the WR. I know everyone hates Brady, but look at how he made average WR’s look excellent. We’ll see how Stidham does this year compared to what Brady has accomplished. Brady is just one example, but you can have excellent WR’s, but if the QB can’t place the ball where only he can catch it, then there are problems. Certainly excellent WR’s help, but it’s a synergy. On a positive note, I am excited for what Allen can do this year. Three excellent WRs, two very promising RBs, and a TE who has promise in Knox.

I used to like the drive in when I was a kid. There was one when I was really little in Blasdell. They eventually tore it down, and put up a Hills Dept. Store. If Miami wants to do it, why not? I don’t understand how they are going to protect their turf, but it’s Ross’s money.

It’s silly to rank a QB who hasn’t played a down in the NFL as #1 in the division, but then these rankings are dumb. I understand Darnold ranked higher as he is polished, but he will be forever cursed for being coached by Gase until he is fired.

Diggs my guess was worth it. We now have every weapon we need for a strong offense and the X factor is Allen. I certainly hope and am cautiously optimistic he’ll deliver this year. If he does then the trade was completely worth it. Beane in his wisdom even picked up Diggs for a modest contract comparatively for an elite WR. $11.5-12 mil. Per year for the next three years. Even if we renegotiate in a year or two, we saved comparatively to a Julio Jones contract. To the OP’s point on the draft a crap shoot, just consider Diggs was a 5th round pick.

I’ll have concern in three years when we probably give him a 5th year option, and if they really aren’t absolutely sure, they can tag him for another 1-2 years. You just don’t know what he’ll be capable of doing then. He may have a breakout year, this year, or not. I hope he is a SB caliber guy, and then we pay him. My only other point is I look at a QB compensation in terms of %to the cap, not $ as the cap has steadily increased every year. The larger concern now is the cap retraction that will most likely take place this next year.

CB, you’re 39 and holding my friend.

If Big Ben is back for the entire season, and if Rivers with a real line and running game at Indy happens, then they are teams to watch more than NE and Dallas. As a previous poster said, fluff piece.

If we cut Murphy, we save $8 mil. to bring us to $28 mil. Or so in space and can then extend Milano and Dawkins. We have two years on White, so hopefully we can extend him next year, and have three years in Allen if he keeps progressing. A previous poster mentioned we have a number of guys up after 2020 or 2021, so we’ll most likely find younger talent to supplant the 30+ guys at the right time.

Ethan, agreed on all points, but the Steelers are known for having 16 home games as they seem to travel better than any other team. Not that I’m a Steelers fan, but respect how many you see in the stands at away games every year.
