Bob in NoCal

Bob Chandler’s long TD catch to help avoid the embarrassment of being the first to lose to the Bucs.

I used to live in Orlando, and I thought Ker’s Wing House was pretty good. Good, messy Buffalo sauce and good bleu. And, no I am not a paid spokesman, but I am a Gator fan. ( Owned by Crawford Ker, ex-Gator OL.)

I was pleased and impressed that you have Dameon Pierce in your top 5 running backs. He was underutilized by the Gators last year for whatever reason, so the big stats aren’t there and some could easily overlook him. You didn’t.

Glad to see no one has chosen Todd McShay. Never forgot how he ragged on JA, while insisting Darnold was far better. For me, it’s a toss-up between Kiper and Jeremiah.

1. Fan since 1960. Remember excitedly talking with my Lockport buds about the new team. “Are we gonna draft Richie Lucas out of Penn State?” 2. First actual on-field memory was Cookie Gilchrist running over people. 3. Favorite memory was the 51-3 AFC championship game blowout against the Raiders. Leaped into the pool afterwards screaming “Go Bills!” (It was January, it was COLD!) 4. Favorite player used to be the running back, number 32. Now, all-time favorite and current favorite are the same: Josh Allen! 5. Screen name is my name and where I live, in the beautiful California Foothills near Placerville. Thanks, OP, for taking me back in time.

That great play by Klein finally made me a believer…. in Star.

Just glad to hear he is still around. He was great in the booth, and as I recall, a pretty good punter before that.

RIP, Ben, my all-time favorite referee. Thanks for posting, Chandler.

No, the Cowboys-Giants winner will be the leader in the clubhouse, so to speak. For Washington, it’s win and in, or lose and out.

Thanks, Virgil. A win is not complete until I have read your thoughts. The defense definitely bailed out the offense today, and that’s very good to see going into the stretch run. Several have mentioned the bs PF call on Moss, but how about the very dubious holding call on Dawkins that negated a critical first down run by Josh? At the time, the score was 24-17, and the penalty just about took us out of field goal range. Yes, there was another call on the same play, but it was after the play, and it still would have been 1st down with about 3:20 to play and the Chargers out of time-outs. Hope we don’t see this ref crew anytime again soon.

Waiting for Yolo to post broadcast information in 3...2...

Were there any opposing team members there?

Thought it was interesting that in one of your drafts you got Pittman in the 4th and in another you got Gandy-Golden in the 6th. Either one of these scenarios playing out would seem attractive. JMO

This may have been pointed out upthread, but currently 129 out of 131 votes say Garrett should be suspended. That’s 98.5%. I totally agree with this, and also believe Pouncey should get one game for his actions, which went beyond defending his quarterback.

I’m thinking John doesn’t put too much value on spelling, and that’s fine with me. The point is he started an interesting discussion, And regarding Trubisky, having watched him several times, gosh, can’t believe it but I agree with Weo: He’s a bum.

Agree with all of these except one. Elway and the Broncos somehow come away with Lock.

You left out the one position that they could very well be picking at 9: tight end. Namely; Hockenson.

I'd like to know the answer to this, too. Whenever he spelled McCoy, it was nice to see someone hit the hole hard and fast. ( on the rare occasion that there was a hole to hit )

Of course, if Cohen said it, it must be true. OK, suggest we close thread now, as it can add nothing to the community.

And still those voices kept calling from far awwaayyy.

It looks like a lot of people saw that Iowa State bowl game. Butler was a monster in that game, albeit in a losing effort. His catch radius is just phenomenal; probably what we thought we were getting when we picked up KB. He's exactly what we need, I think.

Just a thought, but is it possible that Culley was told the Bills were making a move at QB coach, and that's why he made the jump to the Ravens? I'm sure you're right. ?

60-80 for McD, 80-100 for Beane. McD needs to break out of his conservative shell, and the only personnel move Beane has made that I questioned was trading McCarron for a 5th and going into the season with just Josh and Peterman and no vet. In retrospect, it seems to have worked pretty well, but at the time, highly questionable.

I am not here to argue with you or anyone else, because I believe it serves no purpose. I truly do feel that you are crusading somewhat; masquerading under the claim of objectivity. No further comment from this quarter, please consider what I have said. ( And I totally agree that Allen has some work to do.)

OP, thank you for posting the article. I am now better educated with the knowledge to avoid all future articles by Bill Barnwell.
