I remember being stunned at the news early that morning, followed by many months of dread about losing the team. I acknowledge everything he did for the team & city and he’s worth honoring for many decades to come. But I don’t miss him.?‍♂️

You are correct, Sir. The ‘what if’s’ are plenty in this game, from the sack/safety to more use of the run. But the disaster play you’re staunchly defending came on the Giants final drive of the game -a long, time consuming drive to take the lead back. Stop them here and it’s 4th & a mile or at best a very long FG, which still wouldn’t give them the lead. Scoring the eventual TD left us 2 minutes with no time outs to try to reach their 30 for a long winning PK. T’was the play of the game. Period.

Really? You were ‘just thinking’, so you decided to start a thread for thousands of others to ‘just think’? WTH makes you “think” a stud Tight End is even in this Draft, let alone with the 54th pick?

Love the new avatar. Knox showed thrilling capabilities as a rookie. He’ll be better catching the ball or be a footnote in the teams historically lethargic use of TEs. Hoping for the former.. 2 IS 3. 1-2 playoff games IS a title contender. Tip-O-the cap for the respect. Backatcha. I think you’re glossing over last season’s wins as just a number to improve on. A closer look reveals how very iffy most of our wins were, especially when considering they were against 4 guys starting in their 1st season at QB (2 were 1st ever games), ending the careers of 3 QBs whose time had come and gone (Manning, Dalton, Mariotta) and all this while 5 road games were played in NY (2), PA, MA & OH. That’s 12 regular season games with only 1 game that isn’t or doesn’t border NYS (barely). Against the clusterfart that is the Jets, we required an epic comeback, scoring the last 17 points to win the opener by 1, then LOST TO THEM AT HOME. Needed additional comebacks @ the lowly NYG and home games vs. the even worse Bengals & Dolphins. We were YET AGAIN SWEPT by the Patriots* and have added yet another dubious distinction of being the very last team Tom Brady beat as a member of the Pats* -Yea US!? We played just 3 playoff teams (4 total games) losing all 4. Ahead, 10’s of thousands of miles traveling (possibly including out of Country), have 6 playoff teams scheduled along with 2 other loaded teams who missed the dance last year after consistent appearances (Rams & Steelers). For all the thrills the team gave us, including a nail biting playoff loss, we didn’t kick anyone’s arses while routinely barely escaping scrub teams. There’ll be no sneaking up on anybody this year as we’re widely considered the favorite now in the Division have garnered some respect League-wide. Certainly, you can argue ‘but we Did win those cream puff games!’, but what if these mostly poor performances were instead against the teams we’ll face in 2020? Would we still win? Granted, 10 wins is 10 wins. You are what your record says you are. I think we need to see it again against this years opponents to be sure.

Ron GuiDry came after the titles and Harry JACOBS was our MLB. John Tracy (R.I.P.) was our other OLB during title years. Hate to be ‘that guy’, but George ‘Butch’ Byrd was our Cornerback, along with Booker Edgerson. George Saimes was our great Strong Safety and Tommy Janik our FS. just doin’ my part to keep these great teams & players included in team history.

No coincidence ‘the Pill’ was introduced soon after. My Mom said getting pregnant then was the only way Not to get pregnant for the next 9 months..

In addition, toss in a very likely jump in Cap allowance going forward from the new 10 year CBA the owners rammed through recently. Most pundits were surprised how low the increase was this year (a couple Mil$). For the owners to make a 10 year commitment while handing out a few hundred k$ padding per player, tells me they fully expect to Ca$h in on new streaming services the likes of which will dwarf their previously staunch alliance with DTV. Add in an extra regular season game & 2 more playoff teams and I’m fairly sure we’ll have little problem offering 2nd contracts to our best rookie performers. “Our focus is to Draft good players and keep them.” -B.

Many, if not most of us, enjoyed bantering with him here as much as he did. Thank you for sharing this sad news with us. Peace to you and your family.

So you hijack a thread to hedge 2.5 spots? Way to hang it out there, GB.

This one hurts. Thank you Mike, for many wonderful memories!

Happy B’day! Here’s some wacky tobaccy for you, @Wacka

It’s Jimmy from up the street.

Love the team, but frankly, the biggest piece from last year was the schedule. Its a missing piece now.

...and I was hooked for Life. THANK YOU!!

Yeah, it’s not exclusive, just odd. I’m not sure there’s room on the roster now for a never-has-been CFLer.. Nice story though, from yesteryear. Nah, he’s needed DOWNFIELD!
