NFL - Random Opinions

That's true, but somehow it didn't feel right to pick on Will or alienate the lone Rams fan that visits the board but never posts, lol.

 

Shit, slipped my mind. I've been too absorbed to really even check on what's been happening in the forums over the last few days.

I'll try to get that posted up later tonight.

 

Lol so SPress is fair game. Well we have a couple others too but you singled him out lol. Also I edited that last post to add something else.

 

Okay Tim. Don't forget that UDFA board if you have a chance. You can even auto in the names if you feel like it but I'll do that myself late tonight if the board is updated. That way the Value Challenge can officially be ready for submissions.

 

I've been out of freaking cell service range most of the day each day since the day after our 7th round in the mock. Buddy got a lead for a "small" landscaping job and he asked me to do it with him for a few hours and this place of course is only a couple klicks out of range in the countryside from my provider. We thought it'd be a 1 day job but when we show up it's not what he explained to us and was a whole week thing through the weekend. We had to clear cut trees from 2 areas and we were too scared to use my heavy as hell old chainsaw with so little experience that we used a sawzall with extra long blades to get the job done instead. It didn't take much more time than a chain saw would have taken anyways. Good news everything fell exactly where I aimed it lol. He did not know what he was doing so I took over quickly. That and clearing the branches took a day and a half. A whole freaking day for 2 of us to weed and prepare his garden for us to lay mulch and then a day and a half to mulch it, pull out hedges and some miscellaneous things. I was supposed to be there today for a few hours since we ran out of black cloth for the mulch since he homeowner who ordered it along with the mulch we estimated for him didn't get enough for a small area where we cut some trees. However my buddy had another friend of ours just help him today as he's a carpenter and putting in stairs for them so he just had him help him for a few hours.

The first day of weeding was definitely the worst and this was just sloppily doing it with a hoe and rake. God forbid it was all by hand.

 

I take it as a compliment to be "fair game".
The reason I came on though is a random thought. I'm starting to truly believe that either BB doesn't like this draft at all or just wants to ramp the 2017-2019 versions of the Pats with known quality value players. Bills decline for Gillislee Pats give up a 5th rounder. Between Cooks, Ealy, Gillislee deals and not moving Butler or Jimmy I think the Pats have made a statement on what they feel about the 2017 draft and may of put together the best on paper team BB has had yet in the meantime.

 

My brother and I have been discussing the move for Mike and the repercussions for the Bills.

It just amazes me how hard the Patriots pimp the rest of that division. They jack talent, up their roster then come around a couple times a season to use those weapons to blast the East.

So far what they have done by selling low draft picks for quality players makes a ton of sense. Your giving up a late round pick that would have acquired an unknown commodity in the draft and replacing it with a known asset.

It's definitely forward thinking and I'm a fan of what they have done so far.

The Patriots are loading up for what remains of Tom's tenure. Barring mass injury, they are going to be a difficult out again in 2017.

 

After looking over the Bears schedule I believe Mitchell Trubisky will be the starter no later than week 13.

The schedule is difficult in its layout to navigate many wins and home against San Fran would be a solid way to get Mitch on the field this season as a starter.

 

That is unless Glennon does a Trevor Siemian and wins the job. Although he'll have to do a bit better IMO since Lynch wasn't ready yet while Mitch might be.

 

Glennon will be the week one starter, but I can't see him starting the entire season if the wheels come off early.

 

I meant wins the right to hold onto the job. Sadly for him, even if he does well the team looks so bad it might not matter who was QB, they are getting axed for a rookie by season's end.

 

In My Opinion:


I love the new site software...it will take some getting used to, but it looks great!

 

Thanks Irish. Still some work to do but I like where it's headed.

 

Looks good

 

Agree with Irish and Jean - site looks great.

Oh, and Tim - LOVE the avatar.

 

I like the software too. Only one thing I can think of that would help improve is a new post message so you don't have to remember the time of day you last looked at the thread.

 

Can you explain in more detail what you mean? The notification for this is almost the same as the last one but there are more personal options you can use to get updates.

 

Threads you haven't seen since the last post are bolded. And the system will tell you on the "New Posts" page (link at the top) which ones you haven't seen since your last visit.

 

I'm thinking I will have to set aside a couple hours to make 'black and whites' of all the logos. When there's a new post in a forum it will show the color version.

 

I just find it confusing when on the page with the titles of the threads, when you actually click on a thread it tells you which post are new. But on the title pages I can't tell if any post are new until I click into the thread.
