  1. Now that Rex's contract with the Bills is paid out he'll probably look to return to coaching
  2. I always assumed kickers and punters grew up doing both and could do both in a pinch
  3. He lives.... Oh he lives...
  4. Half of whoever Brady plays in the NFC title game will miss with covid... But... Tampa will also be without their reserve lb and maybe a backup guard
  5. I wonder how many guys will report symptoms once the playoffs start
  6. Colts DB was unconscious when he hit the ground
  7. Wentz has like 58 yards passing... LOL
  8. It's so weird that you can be down 13 in the 4th quarter and yet it feels like you're winning
  9. The Colts blew the Buccaneers game the same way
  10. Colts have got a couple INT and a blocked punt but otherwise it's a close game .. Plus Wentz has almost thrown 2 INT
  11. Josh Allen has been equal to or better than the other QB ever game this season
  12. This is McDaniels staff that Reich has... How crazy is that? They hired all these guys for McDaniels and Reich had to keep them on.
  13. I will say ... Wentz isn't exactly lighting it up
  14. Is the NE/TB Super Bowl cancelled?
  15. Enjoying this game so far!
  16. Yes! Slimming down cost the kid!
  17. We'll get some calls when we're up 10 points vs the Panthers or Jets when it doesn't matter
  18. Wow what a crazy game! Chargers could have used those 9 points
  19. Why didn't Williams just throw his hands up and beg for the flag there instead? We need some big WRs that can go get the ball
  20. A lot of NFL coaches fail at being NFL head coaches also... Urban Meyer was such an absolute disaster... talk about destroying your legacy.
  21. I think the "college coaches can't succeed in the NFL" thing is overblown a bit. The biggest difference is that many top college coaches aren't actually that good at coaching; they just have a lopsided talent advantage that gives them a "big name" in the sport. Give Dick Jauron a Pro Bowl roster comprised of the best AFC and NFC talent put together and he's going to rack up a lot of wins vs the Lions, Giants, Jaguars of the league, especially if he gets to have a hand in crafting his schedule to his advantage. The he plays the Bucs and loses and "just can't seem to win the big one" but his record is still really good and everyone pumps him up as a top guy. That said, there are many really good college coaches who would succeed in the NFL. Ball is ball. People are people. Of course there are differences, but we're not splitting the atom here; it's football and working with people. Chip Kelly was 26-21 in Philly in 3 years, which is a winning record. SF was a disaster when he went there. That was hopeless for anyone. Chip's issue was wanting to control everything the way you can in college, but he did pretty well I think as an NFL HC in Philly outside of the personal relationships (which of course are a big part of the job). Nick Saban had a lot of NFL experience as a member of Belichick's staff in Cleveland, so he knew the game. He had no QB, which makes NFL football no fun. I think if he had a passion for NFL coaching he could do it and be very successful. Why would he, though? He's a celebrity on campus, always wins, and gets the best players. Jimmy Johnson was a ball coach. The guy knows football AND knows how to work with people. A lot of times these big name college coaches lack one or the other of those skills, because on campus you're a legend and your word is the word of God in some of these places. It's your players who you recruited who are there because they idolize you and will do whatever you say. AND you have a huge talent advantage most weeks.
