Bill from NYC

If you're feeling sad and lonely There's a service I can render Tell the one who loves you only I can be so warm and tender Call me Don't be afraid, you can call me Maybe it's late, but just call me Tell me, and I'll be around

There is not much in the above with which I can argue, other than the factor of discipline. In camp, DeBoer had ice cream trucks and blaring rap music. I don't have the stats but there was a notable increase in penalties. Malachi Moore (a great safety who never had any issues) had a meltdown on the field and a very costly penalty. These things might have caused Saban to have cardiac illness. Despite all of this I think that Milroe (not DeBoer) was the primary cause of Alabama losing three games. That said, do you think that Saban would have lost three games with this team, even with Milroe? I for one strongly doubt it if for no other reason, the discipline factor. I'm not sure that coaches will want to risk upsetting players now. I do however agree with you that the talent will be more spread out. I mean, Derrick Henry had to wait a full season on the bench before he started. Davonta Smith caught all of FOUR passes in his freshman season before his title winning TD pass. Things like this may never happen again. Or will they? I guess we will see how this all plays out.

ND by 3 with help from refs Penn State by 17 Texas by 21 Ohio State by 3 Best Bet: Ohio State/Tennessee under 47 I will probably be wrong with every pick lol.

I am not against NIL. I think that it should be regulated but I don't see how it can be unless the players form a union, but; even that seems like a difficult if not unlikely scenario. My question is: Do you think that NIL will decrease the quality of play both in the NCAA and the NFL? I ask this because I suspect that it may. Kids out of high school are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I'm thinking that not many of them are equipped to handle this. I know that I wouldn't want to take a hit from Ruben Foster if I had a million dollars in my pocket. I also suspect that it will be harder for coaches to instill discipline in these kids, especially for "Saban style" coaches. This is obviously why he quit. He talked about the value of discipline for his entire career. This was an instrumental part of why he (and his players) were so successful, and countless players do and will attest to this. Now, a player can tell a coach to "f*^k off" and go sign with another team. I just can't see how this will not hurt the quality of play for many of the kids both short and long term. What am I missing?

Two or three people fading in and out Like a radio station I'm thinking about but I can't hear Who gets breakfast? Who gets the lunch? Who gets to be the boss of this bunch? Who will steer? Turning Turning To see your face alone I'm hoping there's someone home Dream Do you dream? Dreaming Do you?

What do I make of it? My conclusion is that because of Josh Allen, the Bills are good enough to beat any team, any place (to include a great team on the road, in a dome). The term "generational" gets tossed around WAY too much imo. That said, when one watches Josh Allen, one is viewing a "generational" talent. Personally, I think that Josh is a more talented, better QB than John Elway, and NO sports fans in the United States are more deserving of having this great player on our team than long suffering, loyal Bills Fans.

If I were you, I'd realize that I Love you more, than any other guy And I'll forgive the lies that I Heard before, when you gave me no reply

Proof that Moulds left a lasting impression as a player.

What I feel, I can't say But my love is there for you anytime of day But if it's not love, that you need Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed Tell me,what is my life, without your love? And tell me who am I without you By my side?

If you, or anyone wants to read a GREAT book about Detroit, here it is. The author Charlie Leduff is a bit screwy, but he is no joke. All of his books are very good but this one is simply great. Detroit makes the worst neighborhood in NYC look like Beverly Hills. This is easily in my top ten books that I have ever read. https://www.amazon.com/Detroit-American-Autopsy-Charlie-LeDuff/dp/0143124463

In a thread on this page when they were considering expanding the four team playoff, I called for putting an end to conference championship games. In addition to the confusion it caused this year, I think that the extra game (and injury risk) is unfair to the players. I know.....they are getting paid now, but; they are also risking their future careers with this extra, somewhat meaningless game. Getting rid of conference championship games makes total sense imo.

This Alabama team was hard to watch in many games, and the problem was mostly the QB imo. In all honesty I'm surprised that they beat Georgia with Milroe at QB. I agree witjh you 100% about the schedule. The SEC is just STACKED with talented and deep teams. I'm not sure how Ole Miss lost three games. Did you see their DL? Jaxon Dart is a fine QB imo. I thought that they could be title contenders. South Carolina is also very good and Alabama was lucky to beat them. We will see how these ACC teams fare in the playoffs, but I do not expect much from them. It would appear that Alabama will improve next year but with the changes it won't be easy.

As a Crimson Tide Fan, I am not upset at the decision, although I don't necessarily agree with it. SMU looked pretty decent, but they play in a candy ass conference. Notre Dame cannot even boast of doing that. That said, Alabama was shaky due to having Milroe at quarterback. They lost three games so I don't blame the committee for making jealous haters around the country happy. While I will miss Alabama not competing in the playoffs, I'll be OK. I guess I will have to think back on Coach Saban winning SIX national titles at Alabama. Or the time Tua came in and sent the Bulldogs home weeping with the greatest play in the history of college football. Georgia Fans will never get over this and my heart bleeds for them. 😔Or does it? 😂 I don't blame you for your vitriolic comments about Alabama because as bad as you claim they were this season, they did manage to defeat Georgia yet again.

I am not young and have seen my share of football, but; I have never seen better QB play than what I saw from Josh Allen last night. Never mind the great runs, some of those passes between the defenders looked impossible to complete. The three TD passes and runs were a milestone, but they don't even begin to tell the whole story of the game that he played. Josh Allen makes his receivers look like Jerry Rice. The loss sucked but we were lucky to be in the game after giving up 44 points on the road. I have total confidence in this team for as long as Josh stays healthy. Bills fans really do deserve to have a great QB like Josh, this after decades of various degrees of suffering.

Seriously? I was never his biggest fan but that is quite the stretch. In fact, he has improved quite a bit this season.

Some girls Love to run around Love to handle everything they see But my girl Has more fun around And you know she'd rather be with me Me oh my Lucky guy is what I am Tell you why, you'll understand She don't fly although she can

Life, Life Past the clouds You don't have to come down Life, Life Tell it like it is You don't have to die Before you live

The title of this thread is a vey fair question. I am going to answer yes. I was one of his biggest critics. I am not going to list them, but I will not back down on my criticism of some of his moves, (especially in his first season), but; he deserves a lot of praise for moves like getting rid of Diggs and bringing in Cooper. Josh sure looked happy enough while wallowing around in the snow, and keeping him happy is HUGE! 👍 I am a big enough person to look at the facts and state that I underestimated McDermott. That said, I am a greedy Bills fan and I want more. He needs to lead this team to a finish that they are capable of. The way Josh is playing I am not afraid of any team. I think we can get there this year but we need Coach McDermott to keep things moving in the right direction, and I'm now thinking that there is a real possibility that he can. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe. Remember, Sark went through some serious personal problems. When he came to Alabama his salary was $35,000 per year. At Alabama, he needed to make 50K to have medical benefits for his family. Saban went in an got him the raise. As I'm sure you remember, when Kiffen was the OC at Bama, he accepted a head coaching job shortly before the championship game. Surprisingly, Saban told Kiffen to just get out and replaced him with Sark, who won a title the following season. Sark's play calling against an excellent Ohio State team was the best I ever saw in a college football game. He lost Davonta Smith (who had 212 yards in the first half iirc) and he didn't miss a beat. He was sending Najee Harris in motion every different way and nobody knew how to stop the Tide that night. Tbh, I am unsure how much harder it is to coach in the NFL than on a top college program, especially when you are facing another premier college program. People can point to Saban failing at Miami all they want, but; Saban wanted Drew Brees and was given Dante Culpepper. In any event, I of course don't know for sure what Sarkisian would do now in the NFL. What I do know that if I owned a team I would offer him a job (which he would surely turn down because I think that he makes more than 10 mil per season).

The great University of Alabama Crimson Tide. I have been a Tide Fan my entire life. It provided a nice contrast to being perennially disappointed and heart broken by the Bills. That said, the times they might be a changing! 👍🏈👍

I ain't got time to think about money Or what it can buy And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder What makes a birdie fly And I don't have the time to think about What makes a flower grow And I've never given a second thought To where the rivers flow (Too busy thinking about my baby) Oh, yeah And I ain't got time for nothing else

At this point a Bills/Lions Super Bowl seems likely. I mean, how many times can they hand it to the Swifties?

It wouldn't really shock me either.

Maybe they will play for the national title.
