But anything more would in my opinion be detrimental.

Re: The Saints are the 1st Team to get in the Playoffs
That was my first thought too. I miss him. His death hit me hard. He was a very good man and communicator.
It's awesome that our members care about each other this much. Friendships are built here on the BNG! |

Re: The Saints are the 1st Team to get in the Playoffs
I can only imagine how special it is being in the huddle with a guy who You know has passed for TDs, Blocked for TDs, Ran for TDs, caught slants across the middle for TDs, and been an ace on coverage to prevent TDs. If he wanted to play safety he’d be a pro bowler in 2 years.

Re: The Saints are the 1st Team to get in the Playoffs
It doesn’t matter who starts each week, if one goes down we have very competent backup.
No need to debate who wants who. We are covered. |
