Bill from NYC

Sorry my good friend, not even close. We desperately need blockers and receivers.

Maybe for old times sake we can trade up to #9 in round 1 and draft Spiller.

How can people have no feeling? How can they ignore their friends? Easy, to be proud Easy to say no Especially people who care about strangers Who care about evil and social injustice Do you only care about the bleeding crowd? How about a needed friend? I need a friend

After Saban/Alabama beat the living crap out him his wife (a nurse) said that he was lying on the floor and looked as if he was trying to cry. He is one strange duck.

I am very sorry to see this. As tough as he was/is, he has taken too much punishment to put himself at this much risk. Jmo.

Once again, I don't believe in expanded playoffs, although I do think that it will happen at some point in order to throw a bone to fans of lesser teams. I'm sure that you know what I mean.

Battle did not have as good of a season as the one he had in 2020. That said, he seemed to come on late and looks very good at this point. He is a VERY hard hitter, almost like the old school safeties. It will be interesting to watch where he goes in the draft.

When you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair Talking to those rich folks that you know Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company You know that I could never be alone Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

How about "Younger Girl" by the Critters? I think John Sebastian also recorded this..... https://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_critters/younger_girl.html

Does anyone wish to share views/predictions? I'll start: Imo these playoffs are wide open. I want to say up front that Alabama is nowhere near as good as they were last season. The thing is, please tell me who else is. I think that Bama can beat Cincy if they out muscle them. Another factor is that the more time Nick Saban has to prepare for a game, the better his chances are at winning. this is proven. In terms of Michigan/Georgia, to be honest I am rooting for Michigan. I don't know enough about the Big 10 to make an assertion about how good Michigan is. I happen to believe that Georgia is very good. So, if Alabama does defeat Cincy, I would rather see them face Michigan than Georgia. Am I looking at this the wrong way? I would appreciate any input from Big 10 fans, as well as UGA and Cincy fans.

I believe you. I heard of the carousing and drinking, but not the domestic violence.

Do we know his to be true?

Really, how long has it been since were were built for cold, inclement weather? Or, were we ever? Levy concentrated on defensive backs. Others focused on running backs with poor blocking in front of them. Even TD traded down to draft Clements when Hutchinson was sitting there and wound up a GREAT guard. Admittedly, that wasn't the worst trade but it was indicative of the theme of your post imo. We had HOF LT Jason Peters (one of the best all time Bills players) and traded him for a box of donuts. Did they hang onto Big Ted or Pat Williams? The sad point I am attempting to make is that even when running and stopping the run were much more important factors in winning than they are now, the Bills went after primarily defensive backs, gadget players like Spiller, and other running backs with horrible blocking. McDermott lucked out big time with Josh Allen, but indeed followed the trend by saying no thanks to 2 great QB prospects and grabbing what? That's right.....a defensive back. Disclaimer: I am NOT trying to say that some of the players we drafted were not "good" players. Tre White for instance is very good. That isn't my point. The OP is about building a team for cold weather, and as I said before, it probably doesn't matter as much as it used to. Until it does.

When the feds get sick of organized crime making huge money in something, they take over the racket and tax it. Alcohol and gambling are great examples. Then, they attach federal penalties to the competetion (RICO), and form agencies to squash the competetion (ATF). At some point, the government will put out the word (after it is legal) that weed is a health menace. They will give out grants to folks who will do studies to "prove" this. Then, a joint will cost 10 dollars and up. It doesn't matter if weed isn't as bad as tobacco as long as government "studies" say it is. The idea is to bilk citizens out of tax dollars.

Hyde was getting beat like a drum from what I saw. He is also now into his 30's. I am not saying that he is a bad player. I do however suspect that maybe we are just not AS set at the safety position that many (myself included) seemed to think. Just an observation, nothing to get alarmed about.

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog" I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man" He said, "That's okay, won't you feed him when you can"

Great post as usual but I have a question.....Are we 100% sure that we are not overrating our safeties at this point? I must say that I was not overly impressed with them last night. I also think that Josh makes these receivers look quite a bit better than they are. As always, jmo.

Let's give Marv another crack at it! This time he can be coach/GM!!!

Josh Allen is great. He has insufficient weapons at WR and RB, and not enough blocking. It’s a shame too because the kid is a super talent.

How many days has it been Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land

From Atlanta, Georgia, to the Gulf Stream water up to California end I'm gonna spend my life both night and day I say, gimme, gimme good lovin' every night (Hey you know it's alright, child) Gimme, gimme good lovin' make it alright

And I'd rather Beg, Borrow and Steal, I'd rather Beg Borrow and Steal, I'd rather Beg, Borrow and Steal, Than go back to you, go back to you, Than go back to you, go back to you, Than go back to you, go back to you..

Both are most deserving of these awards. Bryce needs to win the Heisman and Anderson should have been a finalist.

Nice work as usual!!!

Did you miss my post in which I complimented OSU, and said how many other teams (according to Coach Saban) refuse to play Alabama? I respect OSU for having the nerve to step up. Here it is: >>>>>>Saban has said time and again that he would prefer an all SEC schedule. He also said that is is hard to get non conference teams to play Alabama. i don't see any clear reason for even a very strong team like Notre Dame (for example) to want to sign on for a home/away series with Clemson, Georgia, or Bama. The risk of loss would be pretty big and could cost them a playoff spot. I can't say I blame them. Btw, kudos to Okla. St. for signing on with Bama for such a series.<<<<<<
