Bama Panther

I don’t get the incessant need to spout “the Panthers suck.” It’s like people cannot see the difference in the team now and the team under Rhule. The team under Rhule sucked (1-4 record). The team under Wilkes does not suck (5-5 record). Denver sucks. Arizona sucks. Chicago sucks. Houston sucks. Despite its shortcomings, the current Panthers team is not great, maybe average, but they don’t suck.

That team that "had absolutely no business being there" won their first round matchup and lost to the NFC's representative in the Super Bowl that year. Not sure how that equates to having "absolutely no business being there."

My middle child wanted a Mayfield one after the trade. Since we are currently stationed in Korea, I had one made for him at a little sports store just outside of base.

Kirby is 1-4 against Saban. I wouldn’t necessarily call that having Saban’s number, but I definitely think UGa has the better team right now.

Even as a Bama grad, I concur with this. Would I love Bama to sneak in to get a shot at the championship? Absolutely. Do I think they should? Nah.

You know what? You’re right. That must’ve been why the replay officials didn’t buzz the field for a review. They only do that for close calls.

I can see that, but I think it was pretty clear that the DB’s crown hit Rising right in the facemask.

The PAC 12 does not want USC to lose. Not sure how that wasn’t deemed targeting when the crown of the helmet was the first thing to hit the QB’s facemask.

I hope not. In no world does Brian Burns deserve the NFL’s top AAV contract for a DE by about $3M.

If only Patrick Mahomes was a #1 overall pick, your argument would hold water, but he wasn’t. He was the #10 pick.

I don’t see how OSU gets in after that beat down. They got obliterated at home against one of the only good opponents they played (ND being the other).

If USC wins out, there’s no way OSU gets in. I think the committee would be hard pressed to justify OSU getting in after getting absolutely beat down by the one good opponent they faced. Even as a Bama fan, I don’t think Bama should get in this year though. They have just not performed at a level to justify it.

It was close, and I’m a bit biased. I think the replay showed the returner’s ring finger and pinky bend down as if the ball touched them. The UGA fan watching with me thought it showed the same thing.

Bama’s D really isn’t special at all this year. I cannot wait for To’oto’o to be gone.

They’ve been out scored 28-3 in the second half. Their 11-0 record coming in is simply the result of playing a Charmin soft schedule.

The missed facemask was huge. I also thought the refs missed a potential targeting on the ball that #12 dropped around the five. The DB hit the WR right in the ear hole with the crown of his helmet.

That would have been a tremendous haul to rebuild this team after the Rhule era.

I don’t know what that is.

Stationed in Korea.

I swear I saw two digits on the back of the jersey, but whatever. AFN doesn’t have an option to rewind to see it again.

That wasn’t the WR. That was an OL.

If Young was a couple inches taller and 10 pounds heavier, this QB debate you all have every week wouldn’t even be a debate. While size will obviously play a factor in his draft status, he is, hands down, the best pure QB in this draft.

So now we are speculating on who the speculative head coach may be thinking about hiring based upon speculative connections and speculative desires of the speculative head coach?

The NFL and the Dolphins did not police themselves here. The NFLPA (again, the players’ union, was involved in the investigation, and the findings that they signed off on include the fact that the protocol was actually followed. The NFLPA would not let this be covered up if something were amiss. If they believed something were covered up, they’d exploit it as much as they could to get more for the players they represent.

The NFLPA, the organization whose sole purpose is to advocate for the players, participated in this investigation. If the team and NFL really screwed this one up, the NFLPA would say so.
