Projected 55* & Roster Discussion (Draft)
ALF replied to BuffaloHokie13's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I give Barkley a pass for game week 17 , resting too many Bills starters for the playoffs did him in. jmo With a healthy OL and adding Diggs and hope a good replacement for Gore , Barkley should be ok if needed. He seems to have good chemistry with Allen , and now he knows the system and players. -

With the OL intact for a 2nd season and same OL coach I'm optimistic . Ford now has some experience , Nsekhe back healthy , Williams , RT looks ready this season. Allen should have a very good season.

Monday's moves came almost a week after Carolina reached terms on a three-year, $63 million contract with former New Orleans quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. He will replace Newton, who will be released if a trade can't be worked out before Bridgewater passes his physical to complete his deal, according to a league source. - The Carolina Panthers continued to rebuild their quarterback depth chart on Monday, making P.J. Walker the first XFL player signed to an NFL roster. Walker will compete with 2019 third-round pick Will Grier for the backup spot. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28942400/xfl-star-qb-pj-walker-sign-panthers https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/teddy-bridgewater-14441/

The Thread To Vent On Nancy Pelosi & Her Hubris
ALF replied to 3rdnlng's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I'm ok with Mnuchin having a slush fund to help Businesses with low or no interest loans. Grants need House oversight , it's borrowed money adding to the National Debt. -
That's the Constitution , amend it to go around Pelosi. Elections have consequences , the House has a Democratic majority. The Senate has to negotiate with the House to find common ground that's how our system was built.
