    Super. Star. Please put some talent around this man.
  2. Rex Buckingham
    it just sucks that we have the most talent we've ever had, but just nothing in terms of goal-scoring, and our back line is an injury-riddled and/or old mess Put prime Clint, McBride, Jozy, or Wynalda up top and we look drastically different. Heck, I'd settle for Clint Mathis or healthy Charlie Davies

    Horvath AND Johnson Shaq Moore Roldan Morris and Haji Wright no Pepi or Pefok

    That seems like a shocker, unless he got hurt or something crazy happened like he punched Gregg out for telling him Turner would be the starter

    It would be so incredible if Michigan slows the game down enough to beat them in Columbus. There will be many tears and couch fires a plenty off of High street. My schadenfreude would be off the charts too. Wouldn't even be all that shocking after watching last week. Northwestern ran the ball pretty well despite being Northwestern. Corum and Edwards are definitely better than Hull, and the Michigan OL is way better than NW's.

    Spurs - Milan and Dortmund - Chelsea are the ones I am most interested in/most even matchups. I think Bayern and Real are just better than PSG and Liverpool at this point. City, Napoli, and Inter should be comfortable, and I really know nothing about Benfica-Brugge other than Brugge being perceived as probably the weakest runner up.

    Champions League Draw: PSG - Bayern Liverpool - Real Madrid Dortmund - Chelsea RB Leipzig - City Milan - Spurs Inter - Porto Frankfurt - Napoli Brugge - Benfica I've got Bayern, Madrid, Chelsea, City, Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Benfica going through

    1. Georgia 2. Tennessee 3. LSU 4. Alabama Ohio State is winning the national championship game if it is played today. It wouldn't be a close game either. OSU Georgia Michigan Everyone else. I don't know that you can put anyone clearly above Georgia. I do think Ohio State (if healthy - they've had JSN out injured plenty and have had some issues at RB too) is probably the most talented team, but Georgia just wrecked Tennessee (TN offense - 3.9 yards/play, 2/14 on 3rd down) and held them to 3 field goals until a TD with 4 minutes left when the game was well in hand despite TN averaging 49 ppg coming in.

    His acceleration is unreal

    Now that we went and got a WR that should (when paired with Mooney and maybe a decent FA WR or a 3rd/4th rd pick) give us at least a solid group of WRs, maybe we get a guy at DT or EDGE (or both!) that can be a disruptor through the draft/FA and make a big difference. Jalen Carter or Will Anderson or Myles Murphy maybe in the draft if we can get some good tank losses. If we could split with Detroit (their D is so bad and Jared Goff is their QB so I would expect we manage 1 win) that would be huge.

    I think this is an underrated consideration. If Fields can dial up some good deep balls - which I do think is still a strength of his - Claypool has the size and speed to make plays. Those 3 QBs in Pittsburgh (considering Ben's late-career limitations) don't have nearly the tools that Fields has
  12. Rex Buckingham
    Not sure I love giving up a 2nd rounder (per Schefter) but it's gotta be the Ravens pick, and he sure has the tools to be good.
  13. Rex Buckingham
    With Jermaine Jones too? Play Bradley a bit further upfield and let TA and JJ wreck shop
  14. Rex Buckingham
    Surely one of these years Wainwright has to tank, right?
  15. Rex Buckingham
    For the sake of argument. Let's say 14 is their draft position. Would trading down make sense here? I haven't looked at anything related to draft projections Especially in light of all the cap space I think you just take the pick wherever it lies. They've got the money to ensure the team has adequate depth next year, take your swing at an impact player. I think the only way I trade back is if somehow they have a top 5 pick but also at the same time we feel really great about Fields, which feels like a very unlikely combo. Think that would almost require a good offense but the D getting absolutely shredded to lose the games... not out of the realm of possibility, but not likely either. The coaching seems to be good enough to avoid a total tank

    Micah Parsons is gonna have a field day
  17. Rex Buckingham
    His interception was a really good play too. Yes, Zappe held it way too long before making the throw, but he was in pretty good coverage and made a good play on the ball.
  18. Rex Buckingham
    That block wasn't even that bad.
  19. Rex Buckingham
    That's absolutely ridiculous that Pennel is ejected for that play
  20. Rex Buckingham
    Just absolutely electric at times
  21. Rex Buckingham
    I hate to say it, but Aikman says stuff that makes me think he has CTE WHO CARES ABOUT BAILEY Didn't he retire because of frequent concussions? And that was in the 90s, so you can probably at least double the number of diagnosed concussions to determine how many he actually had
  22. Rex Buckingham
    That's a play not many QBs have the athleticism to make
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Well, this game has turned quickly
  24. Rex Buckingham
    Mustipher was back at C on that TD drive
  25. Rex Buckingham
    Realistic-ish scenario: Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama all win out with Georgia beating Tennessee and Alabama beating Georgia in the SEC title game. I'd think Alabama would get in since they'd be the SEC champs and then the committee probably goes Georgia over Tennessee due to H2H if they take two SEC teams but boy that seems harsh on Tennessee. I suppose it would depend on how the games play out. Like if Georgia beats Tennessee convincingly than you take Georgia for sure. But if Georgia beats Tennessee like Tennessee beat Alabama today, then it's tougher. Plus, you'll need to factor in a likely 11-1 Illinois team that would have victories over Michigan and Ohio State. 12-1
