The big thing is bringing back Hafley at DC but I don't think that'll happen unfortunately

Sorry Brody, heading to South Beach. As a Phins fan I'm good with it.

Boom. Shorty already in the first period vs the Kraken. 2-0 Pens

As long as we play Skinner in the pipes and avoid OT shootouts, we're good.

So…IU stomps Miami right?

Things can always go sideways but unit by unit and overall, it feels more likely IU wins by 21+ again. But I’ve been wrong before.

Miami will have their biggest “home game” in forever, but I think they’ll be shocked when it’s still 50%+ Hoosiers.

Guess their DL could wreck things but I don’t know. Seems like this IU team won’t be stopped. They do too many things really well. Would be 3 straight Big Ten titles (wish it was all 3 OSU).

I’m kind of thinking Miami wins 17-13. I want to be wrong.

Wow. A healthy JK is a difference maker which I wouldn't consider this healthy but a nice shot in the arm for them for sure.

Sanchez over IGB is a wild take. Sanchez will need an all-time leap in year 2 for that to happen. He was basically the fish of the secondary all year…just brutal (which in his defense could be expected as a true freshman).

By the end he was a lot better and wasn't prone to getting penalized. Iggy made tremendous strides for sure but Sanchez has Thorpe ability in him once his experience catches up.

DL I think the ceiling is going to be a little lower but the floor is higher. We wont have the visible dropoff from first 4 to second 4 as we had this year and as long as we rotate freely, which is questionable with this whole staff except the LB and DB's for this team we'll be in really good shape by mid season.

LB is the biggest dropoff on the entire roster. You can't replace 2 high first rounders 1 for 1. This is also the youngest room on the roster so we dont have much experience outside of Pierce and he's a baby himself. If they develop as well as we hope the athleticism is certainly there and JL has proven himself.

Corners are going to be better and deeper in my opinion. Another year of Sanchez is better than Iggy though his tenacity is going to be missed his penchant for penalties wont. The guys coming in are miles ahead of the guys that left so CB is an upgrade in my opnion.

Safety is a dropoff but we're trying to replace Downs with 2 guys because he's a one of a kind player that no one could replace. If we use more Safety this year as the Nickel we'll be ok. And we have good depth to add a Corner when needed. We just wont have that field general back there so this one hurts and you just have to suck it up.

McGuire has to get better overall and evidently both kickers better stay healthy. I emplore them to use Yoga as much as possible and less free weights to the chagrin of Coach Moratti I'm sure.

Overall though, I still think we'll be Top 3 to 5 on Defense in the country and if LBs come up fast, back on top.

“The Moore era was so disgraceful.”

If they check the staff arrest box score, the Harbaugh era wasn’t anything to be proud of either.

Experience and usage in the TE room are going to be the only area I think we are diminished from last year and that depends on if we stop using TE's the way we weirdly used them last year. If we are more conventional with them this year the experience wont be as big an issue because they'll get fewer passes and block better.

WR is going to end up a wash if Henry can get up to speed quickly. We wont take the top off like Tate did as well but as mentioned we'll be better in other areas possibly. Can they block is going to be th biggest issue.

RB will be better. Short yardage might be different and less effective early but I think Bo becomes a serious star.

OL is going to be much better and the fresman coming in Riley and Greer especially are animals. If we move Austin back to Guard we'll only have questions at one Tackle which most think Moore is going to be the man anyway. The depth is going to be the same really if not better. Just gel as a unit and get back to nastiness.

QB room better all the way around. We added experience and athleticism. And another year for TSC as a backup and Sayin to become what we hope he is. All good here.

Hey, if the Offense only has to get to the opponents 30 this year to put points on the board as well, we all win anyway.

Sounds like he donned the sport coat for multiple reasons. I didn't realize Wymer had passed. I remember him reffing high school games in the Findlay area back in the 80's.

Bills fire head coach Sean McDermott after nine years with team​

The Buffalo Bills will begin a new era following their latest playoff failure.

The Bills fired coach Sean McDermott on Monday, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero reported, per sources informed of the situation.

Buffalo officially announced McDermott's dismissal shortly after.

"Sean has done an admirable job of leading our football team for the past 9 seasons," owner Terry Pegula said in a statement released by the team. "But I feel we are in need of a new structure within our leadership to give this organization the best opportunity to take our team to the next level. We owe that to our players and to Bills Mafia.

"Sean helped change the mindset of this organization and was instrumental in the Bills becoming a perennial playoff team. I respect all the work, loyalty and attention to detail he showed for this team and the community. I wish Sean, Jamie and his family all the best."

Cavs gonna get blown out at Home vs OKC today. Went from one of the best Defensive teams in the league to whatever this is now. SMH

After watching several; NFL games; I became a fan of their "dynamic kickoff". It puts a premium on the kicker being able to kick the ball as close to the goal line as possible without going over it and there a whole lot more runbacks on the kickoff, etc. I think the NCAA should adopt it or something very similar.
