Pretty awesome we have the lead in the 4th quarter!  Good stuff!

Nice pass from Taylor to Slayton!

Man, Neal really is the biggest disappointment. A 2nd year #7 pick scoring in the 30s and 40s regularly on PFF is a huge setback.   Phillips Gates, or Feliciano would definitely help right now.  If the offseason were today, I'd cut some vets Campbell, Leo. Adoree,  Shep, and sign a top RT and draft o line depth to weed out the Pearts and Lemuixs.

Trade the following players for whatever you can:
Barkley
Leonard Williams
Adoree Jackson

Maybe eat some cash and get a few mid round picks for them.

- move Neal to guard. The right tackle thing is done. He can't do it. I don't want to wait 3 years for the inevitable to happen. Maybe at guard - something will click. And besides - can it be any worse?

- try Simmons on the field at all times. Safety, LB, edge rusher. Who cares. See if his speed can do something.

- fire the Special teams coach yesterday.

- take play calling duties off Kafka.

- Start Hyatt and Robinson and play them 90% of the time and keep Slayton on the bench.

- Cut Campbell. He stinks.

I rarely quote posts, but these are all solid options.  Especially if we loose next 2 games.

If a top qb is in reach, I think they take him. Sadly, if a top OT is in reach, that's the next choice as of now. 

I thought with all the Intel coming in from Buffalo,  Philly. KC, etc that we would crush the draft.  The second half looks ok,but first 4 picks are not living up to the billing so far

Wow,  those o line grades are insane.   Guess we need AT, Brederson and glow back.   Disappointed Ezuada and McKethan bombed, surprise about Schmitz.  The o line coach should be on the hot seat.Thibs bombed as well. 
   Watching from the stands it did not look that bad for pass protection, except the Lemuix whiff

I'm loving the early returns on Waller and Hyatt. We might see the qb I envisioned from Jones rookie year.  The early deep ball looks great so far!

As always, thanks so much for doing this, guys. This was an excellent listen. I had an ear piece in listening while my wife was mall shopping.  She got so mad when she realized I wasn't listening to her deep into the podcast!

So sorry to hear this Chris, and Jolly as well. Truly heartbreaking.

So sad to hear, what a tremendous Giants fan. Before BBH, I once mailed Jim a vhs tape of a Giants game he missed 😁  After the 07 win, he was so happy, he wasn't sure if he would see another Giant's superbowl win in his lifetime. Lo and behold,he got another in 11. 
     Go easy Jim,prayers for your family.

Thanks,

I have some Chevron, I love dividend paying stocks, and I just bought a bank ETF.  So I guess I might be going in the right direction

It's hard to judge long term return with dividends I want to say phillips 66 does about 4% a year.  I only keep about 10% in my company stock P66.  Excepting this last year, my biggest investment fund VPMAX far outpaces my oil stock return when dividends are added.  I usually jusmdge investments based on 5 year return total.

How about Opie in Son's of Anarchy?  I have to check out some of the classics mentioned.

Todge, thanks for your reply.   It truly lines up with advice and research I have done. The  sessions I had chatting with a reputable advisor were extremely helpful to me as well.
     As I mentioned before, if I run down some of my principle from 55 to 80 years of age, I'm ok with that choice to pair back spending if need be.  Hopefully I can leave my full principle to my children.  However, my view is to enjoy as many days of sunrise as the good Lord allows.

greg: Two thoughts, for what they're worth (which IMO is probably not much):

(1) cryptocurrency - I can't imagine owning something that only exists theoretically, which I can't hold in my hand, and which only 10 people in the world can explain correctly.  In addition to that thought, there is this:

(2) Eventually, the scum in Washington known collectively as politicians will come to you younger people (probably after I'm long gone) with the bright idea to get stop using paper money and replace it with some form of electronic accounts.  Don't buy into it, now matter WHO stands behind that idea.  How much "money" will you have - and how can you spend it - if the power goes out?

Bob. A long time ago, I was told to invest in what we see. Gas in our cars, coke on the shelf.  The dot.com collapse couldn't be seen in some cases.  What was tge company selling?    Now software we use daily, computer chips, phones in our hand, it's part of our world.
     Buy crypto has no practical use at all in my view. Funny thing, gold has little practical use either, but at least it's tangible and not in the clouds.  Anyhow,  I'd treat crypto like gambling. Invest with what you can afford to loose,  maybe 1% or so.
