RoyBatty is alive

Yep, could be a real fun and active off season with our cap relief and bounty of draft picks. McD and Beane like to deal, fortunately there arent many ex-Carolina players left for them to get.

What I want for last 5 games. In order of preference 1) I want New England to lose and Gronk & Brady deteriorate 2) I want Allen to continually improve and stay healthy 3) Want to see some of our other young talent continue to improve, esp Edmunds...also Teller, Phillips, Foster and Jones 4) See more antics from Tre White 5) Bills win 6) and agan New England to lose and Gronk & Brady deteriorate

I consider the NCAA a minor league for the NFL for sure. You can take college baseball, hockey, and basketball together down eaul half of what the college football makes. All those sports you have a lot of players that start playing in the league at 18, you dont have that in football. Well every single "junior" league except for the AFL has always failed. USFL, WFL, XFL all bombed. AFL worked largely because there were a lot of cities still not covered by the NFL. Now pretty much every major metropolitan area that can sustain and NFL franchise has a team. I dont see the NFL risking any serious money to generate a minor league.

Dont care for them, they are hideous...I can barely watch the game.

Never happen, not under the current structure. NFL Europe was the first attempt failed miserably. The NFL has its "farm system" in the NCAA and it doesnt cost the a penny. As far as Tebow and Kap, that is brilliant, think iof the publicity.

Those are excellent questions, would have loved to hear the responses.

That really is a great story, Foster isnt exactly rolling in dough so that means a lot. Such a great story I wont even bring up Sky Diver.

any sites in particular?

McAddict was classic, i really miss him.

Go there for news updates, videos, depth chart, maybe once r twice a month. In the old days, it was 2x/day

the following are worthless: Bodine, Miller,,,,, barely acceptable: Ducasse, Mills, great potential: Teller, , acceptable versatile backup: Groy, only good O Lineman is Dawkins

Yep, it was a clusterx$&% in the wash and Bodine and Miller are terrible together, between the two of them they are consistently making mistakes, not certain who is more responsible. I dont think Allen did all that bad a job ion this play.

I would totally agree. Physiologically there is no way you could run faster with the a ball, beyond altering your natural motion and the weight and wind resistance of that bell, although small do exist. No maybe in real action the adrenaline of a player with a ball might kick in and make him go faster. And if you have 3-4 points of contact that would slow you down dramatically. Holding the ball like Shady does often, like a loaf of bread,, not so much.

Last July, I would bet fans would vote for Darnold 24 hours ago.

Yes, most likely in one form or another, and possibly for years to come. Hell people still debate over Big Ben-Rivers-Manning-Losman...well the first three at least.

If you want to claim what i wrote isn't what i meant, just to try "win" a fairly meaningless point i am going to stop wasting my time with you. Good day and say hello to the kids on my lawn.

So his playing weight was 235, he is 6" 3", i get the impression McD is a scrappy little guy, like 5' 11', maybe 185?

No, not even close. Just of those guys you mentioned, Ron Rivera or Jack Del Rio would take McD apart. Gregg Williams too because he would fight dirty, probably have an implement hidden. Marrone is big and mean as well, he is soft but I thin even he could take McD.

I thought about that as well. Are you sure those count against the QB? Does spiking the ball count against QBs as well, guess they do but they shouldn't, cant just leave plays unassigned.

My "reality" huh, better check up on the rules. Using abusive, threatening, or insulting language or gestures to opponents, teammates, officials, or representatives of the League. Could Tre's gesture be considered insulting, yes. Do I personally "care" about it, no. And your yelling at kids on the lawn analogy is getting increasingly trite and overdone. Again I thought it was hilarious but I and am am pretty sure the NFL doesn't want to see players constantly gesturing behind the officials backs, Tre's was spontaneous and creative

Excellent write up as always. I was most encouraged by, as you say the three bad throws, only one imo was "pickable". He didn't make incredibly ill advised throws while under pressure as he has done in some prior games. He played smart and he played aggressive. Just like Jim Kelly, and the anti-Tyrod Taylor, he is not afraid to make a mistake. He needs a lot of yards, he doesn't check it down, he goes for it. My greatest concern is his running, his =injury list is starting to grow, he needs to get down on some of those runs.

Read what I wrote earlier, I thought it was hilarious. So don't try your little snide trite inference about yelling at kids, I am simply addressing the reality of NFL and penalties, if you can't comprehend the distinction than I can't help you.

Mocking an NFL official, right behind him on TV. You don't flag players for stuff like that they will be doing it all the time.

Damn that is hilarious, Hughes helped start it That is a good question, maybe they do or just drop it, he really should have been flagged for that.

Well upon further thought, 40 times are misleading, you have to get up to speed and Allen is a big guy, takes a while to get the big body in motion but once it starts he is fast, what helps is his long legs, he is deceptively fast, he runs faster than it looks.
