Big Blue Huddle

Keep skipping Slayton.  The UFL and CFL always need roster fodder WR with no separation (except for the occasional fly pattern)and hands that ...well let's be nice....have a tendency to be suspect.

WHY are we even concerned with dime a dozen WR and way over the hill TE.

THIS is a major reason we have the lack of roster talent.  Let Slayton eat up someone elses cap space for average at best (in a good year) production.

Waller.....c'mom....please.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on April 16, 2024, 05:50:14 PMTough to win games when you get down 2 scores in the 1st half almost every week.

And equally tough when your roster on the whole just plain lacks talent and depth.

But drafting a new QB with pick 6 should rectify all that

Capital.

I hate the Capitals.

A plus is they are the team that had just canned our HC, so he better have the blueshirts breathing fire.

IF we can not replace an over 30, oft injured, overpaid TE on our roster then Lord help us.

WHY do they do these interviews.  All politically correct statements and answers, no real information.

And that is reason WHY we are picking a QB.....job security and Schoen and hothead.

In unrelated playoff-impacting hockey, a sad ending to a team which has put together a nice run to close out their season. I, for one, am disappointed and sad to see them leave town:

Sources - Coyotes players told team is relocating to Utah

Hockey has had nearly three decades to take root here and it simply hasn't been successful. The team, the head coach and players deserve far better than what they've been given and, so, it was the right decision for them to go to a place where they will be welcomed and have a chance to take root, grow and achieve far more than what they could under all the constraints here in Phoenix. Mullet Arena was a unique, surreal experience to take in an NHL game, with the Rangers, no less, but with a 4,600 seat capacity, the players have to sacrifice, the revenue stream isn't there and the owner came to grips and did the right thing by making it known his intention to sell.

For a lot of reasons I want the Rangers to go all the way, to say I was able to see them up close and personal in Phoenix would be perhaps the most important of all.

To the Coyotes, I wish them well in SLC under their new team name and uniform and may their young kids develop to challenge and dominate the west one day. In a bit of irony, they took down the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 last night in overtime; a testimony to their resilience and a tip of my hat to them with all the respect in the world for going on with the job in front of them.

Peace!

I really feel for you losing them.  Back in 1976 when I graduated college one of the great things was I was going to have time finlly to see more virginia Squire games (the ABA).

Alas the merger and a very underfunded, but way more entertaining League got gobbled up (4 teams out of remaining 9) by the NBA and there goes my dream.  No more Dr. J, George Gervin and Charlie Scott vs. Zelmo beaty, Willie Wise and the perennial power Utah Stars and other fine young talented teams which the NBA pilfered.  The Aba was a great idea just woefully underfunded.  If the ABA had been Lamar Hunts idea with his penchant for a solid plan it would have been a different story.  I still miss the Squires almost 50 years later.   SLC is getting a good young up and coming franchise.

I haven't watched...BUT our damn scouts better be dissecting each game and player.

We need upgraded talent across the board.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on April 12, 2024, 05:19:50 PMSeems like an awful lot of anxiety here about a team that is currently number one in the league in points and wins.

ONE CUP in 83 years, we are well past anxiety.

The Presidents Cup...nice, but who rally gives a damn.

THE CUP is the goal from the first day of training camp.

Total lethargy in Game 80 at home kind of breeds anxiety.

now for some FANTASTIC NEWS

Filip Chytil has been medically cleared and skated today at morning practice.

Rangers still being cautious but this is a great sign for him and our long term.

If this and a return to the lineup of Rempe and last TWO games at home doesn't ramp this team up, then I give up.

ALARMING FACT

which fills me with playoff dread.

In even man 5 0n 5 situations the Jeers have scored the same number of goals as their opponents.

Relying on PP situations to win games like balancing on a knife edge.

I have no idea what went on last night but somebody better be alarmed.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on April 11, 2024, 10:04:31 PMBrutal performance tonight. Giving up the one seed in the East would be an ugly way to end an otherwise brilliant regular season.

Ahh...what was it the great Tom Coughlin used to drill into his troops....FINISH

No way Rempe should not dress from here on out.

I propose we just get it over with and MERGE the Bills and the Giants.

Give me a new expansion team, I am getting sick of the back and forth.

Quote from: Trench on March 30, 2024, 01:59:11 AMHe is destined to be a backup. A backup who can win. He is Jeff Hostetler. That is not a knock on either. It's what he is.

I have almost zero confidence at the end of a half or a game that he can drive down the field. When he does it is too few and far between and everything looks hurried and erratic.

Add in the fact he is an injury machine and it's almost certain the answer is no

" He is Jeff Hostetler. "

You should only wish.
