What's the competitive or strategic advantage of having a defensive head coach whose defenses are bad?

At least the Saban air b and b commercial is funny

There's literally no consistency with DPI calls

Babich and McDermott stay Brady goes. It'll be that way Allen's entire career. The best and most productive part of the coaching staff leaves. The unit that never shows up stays.

The good thing about the NBA guys joining the ownership group is NBA coaches who don't win with superstar players get fired all the time A quick playoff exit with the defense looking like crap and Allen's superhero antics not being enough should 100% earn McDermott a pink slip.

Without Allen this isn't even a playoff team

Same defense we've seen the last few playoffs.

We have a defensive HC with a soft defense. But golly, you could do worse... Look at his record!

These games kind of feel pointless. It's like extended preseason. No injuries, real games in 3 weeks.

The curse of any great QB is a mediocre defensive minded HC It's why Peyton Manning didn't win more rings. He kept so so coaches employed and they got outcoached in the playoffs. Jim "1000 yard state" Caldwell nearly had an undefeated season with Manning at QB.

We have a defensive head coach and our best part of the team is about to lose its coordinator to a HC gig In the playoffs the defense has consistently let the team down so hopefully this year is different. Doesn't look promising based on the last few weeks.

Defense has been awful for weeks now but Allen was super man again last week

I literally thought that the Patriots were wearing their throwbacks when I clicked the game on

Browns QB looks like he's in a panic every play Lol

Rodgers Achilles is getting back to closer to where it was pre injury It's not surprising that a 41 year old QB who went almost 2 years between meaningful football games would start slow and take time to get the rust off

Atlanta's new stadium put all that effort into a flagship Chick fil a that's closed every Sunday! Lol

Bo Nix just did the Josh Allen move!

This is why the Jets are a mess. They were 2-3 for crying out loud. win 2 games and you're 4-3 and right in the AFC playoff picture. They had a real shot at beating the Vikings, who are one of the NFL's top teams, and just came up short at the end of the game.

To me, it's also a philosophical exercise: those players from the past that we know and loved as fans of the game would also not be the same people had they entered the league 5-6 years ago. We're all people of our time. We grow up in certain systems, learn them, master them to whatever degree, do our best to grow and change with the world, but one day we sort of fall behind the new trends and the next generation takes over with their own ways. It's the human condition. Would Terry Bradshaw have 4 SB rings in today's game? Future generations should always be more advanced, or they are doing something wrong. They get to start where the previous generation left off. What ifs are a lot of fun to ponder, and work lots of ways. What if Tom Brady was drafted by the dysfunctional 2000 Browns and forced to play immediately on the worst offense in the league and with Chris Palmer as his HC and a mess of a QB controversy between him and Doug Pederson? No sitting behind and learning from an established guy in Bledsoe in NE, learning from one of the GOAT HCs with a solid staff, and preparing. Just in. On the Browns, who were horrific. It likely goes very badly for him, and based on his draft stock he wastes a few years on that roster then washes out of the league. What if Barry Sanders was the 90's Cowboys RB? IMO he ahs 3 SB rings and the all time rushing records and is seen as the GOAT at RB. To the point of this thread, what if Jim Kelly was the 90's Cowboys QB? Does he have 3 SB rings and is he in rare company in NFL history? OR... what if those 90's Bills teams came along just a few years later than they did. Instead of the 90's super teams like the Redskins and Cowboys they play the Carolina Panthers and Delhomme or McNabb's Eagles or even the Warner Rams teams. I think I would pick the 90's Bills in those matchups. Now that team has 3 SB rings and they are a dynasty, and this question is crazy. Just so many unknowns, although it's fun to ponder and discuss!

That's rough for fans, and I can see the upset. When it comes to the Super Bowl, I'm less concerned about a London or Germany or Mars Super Bowl. 99.9% of fans watch at a party somewhere anyway, so what does it really matter? Fans who do go are taking a trip to go, so it's an overseas trip to London AND a Super Bowl? That actually sounds pretty cool. I mean, I'll be watching from my living room or a party either way.

Rex Ryan BADLY wants the Jets job and has been openly campaigning for it on TV and radio/podcast interviews. It could happen, and it would be awesome!

There are some truly terrible and clueless (and cheap) owners in the league. I get wanting to be involved and have a hand in what your team does. It would be hard not to. That said, it would be a lot more fun to win and maybe step in here and there if something huge was going on. The Bengals are another great example. I imagine them as having powdered creamer at the breakfast buffet and expecting the team to go practice out in lumpy uneven and poorly mowed field out back. Pay the QB then skimp everywhere else and say "you'll figure it out!"

I'm not trying to be funny, but I actually forgot he was on the team. when he does make a catch I'm always like "oh yeah... that guy"

The entertainment value alone would be incredible! I say he'd be the perfect HC for the Jets.

Watching the QB series on Netflix gave us all a lot of insight into Cousins. Family guy, major goal is to win a SB, wife's family is all near Atlanta, and according to Spottrac he has earned a total of $294 million in his career, counting this season. Plus Atlanta will owe him another $28 no matter what unless he retires, bringing him to $324 million earned by next spring. To me, that adds up to not wanting to move his family again a year later unless it's for a real chance to win a SB. He isn't going to a rebuilding team. He has made a boatload of money, and at this point he could just stay put as a backup in Atlanta, keep his kids in their new home instead of packing up and moving again, and make $45 million as a player/coach for Penix unless Atlanta cuts him, in which case he gets his guaranteed $$ and can decide to go anywhere at any time. One thing you have to respect about Cousins: he has definitely maximized his compensation given his skill level. $324 million for a decent, but not spectacular, career.
