Remember a back that Lombardi paid a boatload to keep from going to the AFL, Jim Grabowski? He was the starting FB to replace Jim Taylor in 1967. He suffered a season ender similar to other backs. But the story was that he did not put in the necessary rehab effort and when he came back the next...

Last year we caught what appeared to be a break with light opponents through the first 8 weeks including the Bears in Week 1. But we hit that big losing streak. Had we faced the Eagles last season when they seemed to fall apart in December we may have beaten them.

My nephew lives in Brazil. Says he will take the 2 hour flight to go see it. He fits well into the celebratory culture. Probably will be sending lots of photos.

Always hate the turf. For much of his career the great Walter Payton had to play on that ugly concrete. September is not the worst down there. Are our chances any better chasing the Eagles there or in Philly?

Looking forward to seeing the Texans. They have high expectations and are not a rivaled opponent.

RIP. Larry. You put together a great OL while you were here.

He certainly was. I recall when Jim McMahon spent time in Minnesota he burned Buckley on a long one in the last minute of play when you are supposed to guard against that pass in a tie game. We lost.

Back about 20 years ago we drafted Ahmad Carroll, a highly touted CB with physical skills at Arkansas I believe. One of the big issues he had coming into the NFL was the illegal contact rule after 5 yards which was not part of the college game at the time. He was a no. 1 pick.

All we needed was a few more Tramon Williams.

We used that tackle when we were 12 years old. You had to tackle someone 3 years older and it was like trying to pull down a Brahma bull.

And he could talk a thousand words a minute as well.

If we play flag football we have a 50/50 chance.

Looks like a tackle to me.

Another rule to hurt the defense. Need to leave things alone. Tackling is hard enough. The league stated that 15 players were injured for 230 Hip Drop tackles. Pretty soon it could be flag football.

Conway bit it. But the following week in preseason Wolf found Longwell. And he had a pretty good career in GB.
