All the more reason to draft better than the other guys. “Buying” the biggest names and best players only works for so long if you don’t have a lot of cheap young talent coming in. Invest is scouting, evaluation and development. A guy like Gabe Davis will be paid one day, but until then he’s been an insane steal for us.

There is only one Aaron Donald. And I don’t mean just last season. He is an all-time great who is a HOF lock. Let’s have reasonable expectations.

You started this, so I’ll ask you: Does blind drunk at karaoke count? I’ve seen some pretty good acts! I’m torn between Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. I think Stevie is better, but I enjoy Ray Charles more. Since I can’t decide, I’m going with @Gugny instead!

Yep. The Packers are trying to get one more ring with Rodgers in the NFC with most of the good young QB’s in the AFC. After this last little run for 2-3 years there will be some serious pain involved.

Well, he should look into just about everything. I just don’t think it will be feasible. I’m all for being great, it just isn’t that easy or simple, IMO. I like to build organically for the most part to stay a contender every year. Having said that, the Rams got their rings and I understand the people who want to pull out all the stops a do “win now” things. I’ll trust Beane’s judgment.

Fine, let the AFCW cannabilize themselves, and give us home field advantage in the playoffs! That’s the best I got.

As far as fantasies go, that’s pretty weak, but this is a family board, I suppose.

The last Reacher book I read was with what I believe to be his son, Andrew Child. Someone said Lee was ready to give it up and handed it off to his son. Better Off Dead was like a caricature of a typical Reacher novel. Everything “Reacher” is exaggerated, including a lot of one word sentences. I’ll check out the series on Amazon Prime, but I’ll pick different books going forward.

I think plenty of people have called him a bust in relation to his draft position. They didn’t say he wasn’t adequate, but that he wasn’t worth where he was drafted. Pretty sure about that one. Semantics? He’s played well enough that I want to see him stick around, for sure! .

My sister had very long hair when she was young. It saved her life. We were at some quarry or lake with a giant wood float in the middle. Somebody jumped on her, knocked her in the head and knocked her out. Somebody else saw a long pony tail floating out from under the raft. He reached down and pulled on it. And eventually my sister appeared. We are all lucky to have made it this far!

Pete Rose wants to know what the big deal is. 🤷‍♂️

True, and they have a much tougher call to make. He’s NOT Josh, and he missed the end of last season…..for the exact reason we all suspected he’d miss time. Hope the price of QB’s keeps rising, now that we have OURS! Cripple those rosters with cap problems!

He only found them because he was looking for your wallet. It was a complete accident!

Anything that is NOT Manhattan is upstate, according to many people. We used to swim in the quarries in Canada…..after dropping by the beer stores. Good times!

I know it’s unpopular (and extremely painful), but that last game vs the Chiefs might have been the best football game I’ve ever witnessed. Josh to Gabe just kept getting better and better. But then….. 😱 You have to be able to put the ending aside, but even that just goes to make it more memorable. Hopefully, a few Super Bowl trophies from now, we will look back on that game as the the last step of our growing into a truly Championship team.

I’m glad we signed Josh early, thereby saving serious money. I know how crazy that sounds given the size of his deal, but it’s true. Now, let’s do the same with Diggs. These guys who think that just because they are NEXT means they should get the MOST, might just be correct to an insane degree. I’ll take Josh over these guys all day long.

Would the undrafted Jason Peter be a TE, ST or the eventual LT? The draft is a crap shoot. It’s where you just have to be a little better than the rest of the crowd. Nobody gets it right every time.

I could not count the number of times my son texted me: STOP THROWING BUBBLE SCREENS BEHIND SANDERS!!! Beasley was not alone. This would be a nice area to improve.

If you like this story, you should look into the John Grisham book Playing For Pizza. A guy blows an unblowable game keeping the Browns out of the Super Bowl and ends up playing semi-pro in Italy. Funny read, great book, IMO. I highly recommend it.

How awful! So sad. Prayers to him and the family.

I’m hoping for fewer designed runs for Josh. It’s great when it works….until…..ya know….I can’t even think about it! 😱 Let’s have a more traditional running game, for the most part. Maybe a Snickers bar would help?

You went from texts “to prove that he will not be coming back ”to “sounds like” he will not be back. Don’t move the goal posts on us. It’s a crap shoot, like with every other player in free agency. They all have interest at different levels with different teams at different costs. We wait, and we will see. EDIT: I wonder if Harrison’s “best friend” is the same guy Harrison would say is HIS best friend. A lot of guys like to cling on. .

I haven’t been to the movies in years. You might be able to guess why. I was looking at my local theater just a few days ago (it’s next to my favorite wine shop) and wondering when I would go back. Now I’ll start looking for something I want to see. It’s been interesting to see how many “big names” have done stuff that goes straight to streaming. The world keeps changing! Get used to it!

No. No I don’t. I’ll wait and see how it plays out.
