  1. I was at that game. 11 years old. That's about as loud as I ever remember the stadium getting.
  2. Thank God we have Nathan Peterman!
  3. Wow! He may have run for 100,000 yards if not for his torn ACL.
  4. Unfortunately, Oliver is done. He looked very promising his rookie year in San Diego, but he tore his achilles in the 2016 preseason and he hasn't been close to the same since.
  5. Travis Henry is available, under the age of 40, and is fresh after having taken 10 years off from football. Would love to see what that old bowling ball with knives could do.
  6. I'm sorry, but what normal victim's first response to being brutally beaten would be to bypass going to the cops, and instead hiring an attorney to put out a press release? Also, the speed of which she retained an attorney and pumped out said release begs the question whether she had this planned in advance of the "attack". Sure, it's entirely possible that this woman drove him insane to the point where he hired a "hit" on her, but her actions leading up to and following her injuries are incredibly fishy.
  7. I've liked Peterman's potential from the moment he hit the field in preseason (granted, I skipped the Chargers game to play a golf tournament at Torrey Pines...lol). I sense he's head and shoulders above the other guys at this point in his ability to run an offense and read a defense. The question, especially after his performance against the Bolts, is whether he can maintain his poise when the regular season bullets start flying. But count me in the camp who expects him to be the game one starter. How long he keeps the job is up to him, and how quickly Josh Allen can develop. AJ's skillset screams longterm clipboard guy to me. Not mobile. Not the strongest arm. Not the quickest release. Can go in and not single-handedly lose a game, but won't win you one either.
  8. Wow, another AHern... Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be tight ends. Don't let 'em block lineman or drive them old sleds. Let 'em be punters and kickers instead....
  9. Good to hear. Sounds like maybe he was just off his meds or his meds were no longer working.
  10. Annotated list of QBs who have thrown 5 interceptions in a game: Dan Fouts Dan Marino Bart Starr George Blanda Joe Namath Brett Favre Matt Ryan Drew Brees Ben Roethlisberger Matthew Stafford Kurt Warner Johnny Unitas Ken Stabler Joe Ferguson Peyton Manning Warren Moon John Elway
  11. Marrone Jauron (Terrible talent level on those teams. Did their best to wring blood from a stone) Mularkey Gailey Williams Ryan
  12. He's our next generation Kyle Williams. Very excited about Harrison.
  13. I'm a late 70's baby, so I can't consider OJ and Cribbs since they were before my time. I saw every snap that Thurman played and he was our most productive running back ever, so I'll go with him. Never hit the big flashy breakaway runs, but he was the best in the NFL at setting up his blockers and always finding himself 3-4 yards even when nothing was there. Great pass catcher too. Shady is a close second, but he has too many zero and negative yardage carries.
  14. AJ McCarron is basically Matt Cassell. A perfectly acceptable starter on a 4-6 win team.
  15. I went back and watched all of the game film from this year and I agree with you guys. Allen is their entire team. They run a pro style offense and he doesn't benefit from dinks and dunks. He even looked good in their blowout loss to Iowa. I'm not sure he starts over McCarron right out of the gate, but I think he's more than capable of taking the job at some point during the season. It really depends on how well AJ plays.
  16. Phil Simms was selected #7 overall with a 53% completion percentage and 32 TDs against 45 INTs.
  17. CBS gives us grades of A+, B+ and A+ so far and says we are killing it. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/draft-tracker/
  18. Based on the roster, I think this is a three year rebuild. Our defense should be in decent shape after this draft, but we will need to upgrade the O-line, RB, TE and WR positions over the next two drafts. Barring injury, I expect one of McCarron or Peterman (I haven't given up on him yet) to start the next two years minimum (maybe three) and then Allen is ready to step in with an updated roster in 2020. I just don't see us accomplishing much with our offensive line next year and Shady is clearly on the back nine at this point. I see a 4-5 win team and I'm okay with that. I think the next couple of years could be tough, but I plan to remain patient while they get this thing steered in the right direction.
  19. A+ I was initially way down on the Allen pick, but the more I think about it, the more I believe he is the right fit for the organization. Big, strong, blue collar, underdog type. Could be our Big Ben for the next 15 years. So long as he develops into a quality starter by 2020, this will be considered a win. I love the Edmunds pick. Like Allen, the sky is the limit with him. Hopefully, two cornerstone pieces.
  20. Awesome. Better be Rosen.
  21. Could Dolphins or Cardinals move up? Otherwise, we should sit back and wait a bit. None of 6-10 will have any interest in QB.
  22. if we move up to 5 to take Allen, I'll puke.
  23. Browns will take Chubb Broncos will take Allen Colts take the guard Then we need to move up into one of 7-10 to beat the Fish to Rosen.
  24. I don't like Rudolph's arm. I think he could be an okay mid-to-bottom-tier starter down the line, but I don't see him being a "franchise" guy. Allen scares me too. I could see him flopping badly, but I thought the same thing about Carson Wentz. I like the other four guys though and would be happy to stay put and grab Jackson at 12.
