  1. Too young. I fully expect Beane to talk Emmitt Smith out of retirement.
  2. I did read the whole article and understand that. He didn’t mention play calling down the stretch though like substituting their big package in after they were rolling down the field after that Singletary screen. A Frank Gore handoff for zilch didn’t exactly put Allen in a favorable position. Neither did going for it on 4th and 27. The coaching staff was a large reason he reverted back to hero ball form. Good learning experience for Josh in the long run but some more context would’ve led to a stronger article.
  3. Too harsh for this particular game as he made some incredible throws on the run to extend drives that Watson couldn't have made. His WR's didn't do him any favors this game as they could've put it away early if Brown has more sideline awareness or Duke catches that TD near the end of the half. He made some costly mistakes but I put more of the blame for this game on poor 2nd half coaching on both sides of the ball.
  4. I couldn't watch the Titans play the Colts after the MCM. Pry won't watch this one either. Chiefs though.
  5. Whenever the time comes it will be nice not having to face him twice a year. I think he wants to play until he's 45 to prove the TB12 system works. It would be fun to see Tom Brady and Phillip Rivers switch teams.
  6. Yeah. Sorry. John's one of the best coaches in the NFL while Jim can't even beat Ohio State.
  7. Fired Greg Roman after giving up 371 passing yards to Ryan Fitzpatrick
  8. What's the percentage of college coaches who hit as NFL head coaches compared to NFL coordinators or positional coaches? If there was a sure fire path to success as an NFL coach then you wouldn't see two ex head coaches, a ST coordinator, and a college coach all hired in the same week.
  9. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2020-nfl-mock-draft-panthers-begin-matt-rhule-era-with-a-new-quarterback-patriots-get-a-nice-surprise/ I didn't realize the misfortune of the Eagles losing last Sunday given they'll be in the market for a WR. Would love Tee Higgins.
  10. True, but you can hit the jackpot with the right hire. Jimmy Johnson, Bill Walsh, Tom Coughlin, and Dick Vermeil come to mind. You could even argue John Harbaugh even though he didn't win a Superbowl.
  11. It was an impressive press conference and it gives you some idea about why he was a hot commodity as he's a good salesman. Seems like a Gruden/Tomlin/Carroll type. Plus, he completely turned around two football programs which is way more than a guy like Joe Judge ever did. He's a hedge fund billionaire. He knew he had to outbid the GIants.
  12. Must not like the weather here. It's not like Oliver and Phillips are going to forget what he taught them. Getting someone fresh in there may just add to their repertoire.
  13. They pry are fine with Barkley because it’s the same regime that thought starting Peterman was a good idea. Barkley (who couldn’t even make a roster) has a good game against the Jets and suddenly he’s the answer at backup despite being horrible as a starter previously. If Allen goes down we’re screwed like the Steelers were when Big Ben went down. A wasted season despite an elite defense as the duck and the reindeer were terrible. Allen’s style of play makes the backup even more crucial. I’d like them to make a hard push for Mariota who may have to come to grips with the fact that the best he can be is a high end backup at this point. Dalton may be in that same position. I’d also take Keemun ahead of Barkley. Hell, bring in Kap for a workout to create a really fun offseason on here.
  14. They started the year with Star/Oliver and then substituted in Harrison/Phillips. I don't know if the Bills keep Liuget or draft a backup for Oliver if they decide to move on from Phillips.
  15. I think Phillips walks as this regime has made DT a priority since they got here (Star, Harrison, Oliver) so the depth is there. I'm all for an upgrade at DE and would love for Beane to pursue the top FA available or negotiate a trade for an elite pass rusher. If Beane doesn't think he can pull it off then I think resigning Shaq should be a priority as you don't want to regress at that position and then draft a pass rush specialist to rotate in.
  16. I don't like the rule because the rule itself sends the wrong message. It states that you have to interview a potential head coaching candidate based on their race (not experience, past performance, potential). It just leads to sham interviews and that causes that candidate (and those who are fans of that candidate) feel used because they happen to be born of a certain race. Thus exasperating racial tensions. The NBA has eight black head coaches and they didn't need a Rooney type rule to do it. The diversity committee should focus on growing the pipeline for people of color to advance up the coaching food chain.
  17. Three out of 32 head coaches are black. Less than 10%. Approximately 13% of population is black and I believe around 70% of NFL players are black. So, no. It’s not working and needs to be tweaked or eliminated.
  18. Tepper was an aggressive hedge fund manager known for taking risks who thrived during recessions. If there was competition between him and the Giants for Rhule he wasn't going to lose and the contract reflects that. Not having that pressure of being fired lets you build a team the right way in your image too.
  19. Here's what I'd take away. -We were lucky to escape with a victory as we came out flat which is typical of us in the playoffs. Need a much better effort against the Chiefs. -Watson struggled early but his performance in the second half was encouraging to earn his first playoff win. Hopefully, winning a playoff game is just another hurdle in the eventual road to the Super Bowl. He showed the "clutch" gene that we saw at Clemson. -We desperately need to upgrade our offensive line as Watson was sacked seven times. -Bill O'Brien calling a qb sneak on 4th and a little over yard to try and ice the game was incredibly dumb considering the Bills knew it was coming. He was lucky to escape with a victory and we'll have to put up with him for at least another season now. -Even I was embarrassed as a Texans fan at how much ABC drooled all game over JJ Watt. -I hope Fuller and Joseph are ready to go against the Chiefs.
  20. Next year this team is going to have to deal with a tougher schedule, heightened expectations, probably more injuries to overcome, and a lot more traveling. If Josh Allen continues to progress I think we'll be fine. I have enough faith in Beane that he'll make the most out of the draft and be aggressive yet wise with the 80 million in cap space.
  21. Panthers defense regressed quickly under McDermott when they lost Norman. I don't think McBeane makes that same mistake twice.
  22. If he had the speed Metcalf had he'd be making 20-25 million a year on his second contract for the team lucky enough to draft him.
  23. He'd also have to deal with the divas around him in OBJ and Landry. I can understand the talent argument being the best he's ever had to work with, but he'd have to have a lot of faith they're committed to rebuilding their o-line.
  24. Would you really want to leave Josh Allen for Baker Mayfield? Plus, he's already been an OC in Cleveland so a lateral transfer seems unlikely at this point.
