Royale with Cheese

I haven't watched a halftime show in 20 years...regardless of which genre of music. I like concerts and music....I just don't like the Super Bowl halftime show. If they switched it up to something amazing like Cirque or danger acts like tight rope walking across the stadium and some dude jumping from a 100 foot pole into a shallow pool. I will watch. Or even top BMX riders doing amazing flips.

Why does it have to be music? Why not have a Cirque Di Soleli or another talented act? Hell, a 3 round MMA fight with celebrities would probably get the audience in it more.

If this happens....Einstein on draft night.

Who would win in a fist fight? Mike or Hank?

Then who's on second?

Great career Howard!

You take things so incredibly black and white. This is subjective, you've got the opinion of a former player and coach. But you came back with this reply because you want to show that you were right, Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy are wrong and outright liars because Andy Reid says so. This is what Manning is referring too, from his own HC. They aren't sitting in silence and not talking/thinking about anything game related. Tony Dungy says he planned to give the Indianapolis Colts a rousing halftime speech and reveal the adjustments that would carry them over the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game in early 2007. He never got to deliver the message. "We're 15 down, everybody's hyped up, and assistant coaches want to talk," Dungy said Wednesday on the "Dan Patrick Show." "You get that all done, and I'm about ready to talk and give them all the adjustments and give them a great speech, and there's a knock on the door and (someone says) we've got 30 seconds till you come out for kickoff." Dungy did get to deliver some remarks to his team. Kicker to kicker: Adam Vinatieri's advice for the Cowboys "So I said, 'Hey, we're playing terrible. If we don't start playing better, we're gonna lose.'" The Colts trailed the Patriots 21-3 late in the first half, and 21-6 at halftime. Indianapolis rallied to win 38-34 on the way to a Super Bowl victory over the Chicago Bears. NFL halftimes are 12 minutes (except for the Super Bowl), and that includes walking to and from the field, bathroom needs, equipment adjustments, and perhaps a snack. "You're not making major adjustments in there," Dungy said. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2023/01/18/tony-dungy-peyton-manning-discuss-halftime-adjustments-in-nfl-games/69820277007/

A little more than 5 ypc…that’s Hall of Fame level.

Yeah I can’t figure out what the hell was wrong with the turf. I’m not anywhere near a professional level with turf but have taken care of fields in the past from coaching. Never, ever had issues with the surface with players slipping because the grass was weak.

Yep. I’m tired of our offense not being able to score in the last couple of seasons. Have we ever cracked the top 20 in scoring?

McD isn’t getting 15 more years to win it with the Bills. If its 15 years down the road, it won’t be with the Bills if he hasn’t won it. It will end just like Reid’s time in Philly.

Pretty amazing we went 13-3 with a bad HC and two terrible coordinators and very little talent on offense and defense. I think it's a miracle.

You dislike McDermott so much that you're glorifying Reid's playoff failures. It's okay to have concerns about McDermott but to say argue positively about Reid failing in Philly is an incredible reach. Peyton wrong, lying and no way in hell there's any truth to it. Sean Payton 100% telling the truth. Is this what you're saying? Sean Payton, the HC for a team that had Bounty Gate.

Continuity is honestly a really stupid answer. They were 4-13 and 4-12 the two seasons prior. Why would they want that continuity? Not to mention them hiring David Culley the year before, who was black and wasn't an in house hire. Are you forgetting that? And if you bring race into it, you're saying they weren't hired based on the color of their skin so it doesn't matter if they were in house or not lol.

If you poorly communicate in any position, you're going to have a hard time regardless of race.

No it doesn't lol.

So ultimately, Andy Reid wasn't a playoff disappointment or something? Here's a fun fact for you. After that stretch of losing multiple conference championship games and the Super Bowl with the Eagles....Reid went 5-11 in the playoffs including a stretch where they were bounced out in the first round 5 times! Will you be happy if McDermott does this?

We don't have to lean on spectacular throws and Reid gets these same spectacular throws with Mahomes. He is up there with Allen with the most wow plays. Lee Smith is not "just" a fan. He's a former player that understands play design and execution far more than us. Doesn't mean he's going to be right, he's projecting but he is far more knowledgable than your average fan.

Continuity of losing huh? But lets not forget the main issue. You brought up racism as an option and Lovie is still black. David Culley, another extremely unqualified HC....also black. So if racism was an issue, then it doesn't matter what Bruce Arian said or recommended. Andy Reid sings Bienemy's blessings all the time lol. Is his word not good or something? You may not like what Whitlock said but is there not truth to it? The only way you can say there isn't any truth to what Whitlock said is that Culley and Lovie Smith were very qualified for the job. So I ask you, were Culley and Smith qualified for the HC job?

What I find funny is that a lot of people will complain about the lack of talent on offense and how bad our offensive line is. I'm included. With this lack of talent and bad offensive line...we were 3rd in scoring. I had my issues with Dorsey as well but a lot of it was player execution. I'm not worried about Dorsey, I'm more worried about Frazier.

You think it's realistic for a Owner to say "I am sure Bienemy could bring Super Bowls to us but I won't hire him because he's black." It's a production position. If you can produce, they will absolutely hire you. There aren't just two options and sorry, I don't think racism is one. Lovie Smith went 17-39 as HC of University of Illinois. He then becomes the Texans DC after being fired and leads a bottom 5 defense two years in a row. He gets promoted to HC! He was more undeserving than Nate Hackett lol. https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2022-09-30-jason-whitlock-why-the-chiefs-dont-respect-eric-bieniemy/ “The NBA, the NFL, all these live sports, all they are are TV shows. They’re no different from whatever your favorite TV show is right now. You know what they do on TV shows? They write people and characters in and out of the script. Eric Bieniemy, the alleged offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs, has been written out of the script. If you watched that Chiefs/Chargers game [in Week 1] Eric Bieniemy wasn’t discussed. Maybe I missed it, but if it was discussed it wasn’t discussed like it used to be. The whole Andy Reid and the Chiefs trying to promote Eric Bieniemy as the next great coaching legend, the heir to Tony Dungy’s throne, the heir to Vince Lombardi’s throne.. they weren’t talking about Eric Bieniemy. They weren’t flashing to the sidelines showing Eric Bieniemy pretending to call plays. Everything was about Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and Andy Reid calling plays and running that team. Eric Bieniemy has been de-emphasized because they’re done with him. They couldn’t pawn him off on another organization like they’ve tried the last three years so they’ve written him out of the script. All of that is controlled by the NFL teams. Andy Reid, Bill Belichick, whoever; they get to tell and greenlight whoever on their staff they want the television networks to talk about or focus in on. For the last 2-3 years the Chiefs were having a concerted effort to try and promote Eric Bieniemy up off their staff and get someone to take him on as a head coach. It’s a very clever way of firing people… The media has spent all of these years, ‘OH, ERIC BIENIEMY, HE DESERVES A HEAD COACHING JOB!’ ‘HE’S THE GREATEST HEAD COACH!’ ‘HE’S GETTING SCREWED OVER BECAUSE HE’S BLACK!’ ‘IF THE NFL WASN’T RACIST…’ They’ve been selling that nonsense forever meanwhile the Houston Texans hired Lovie Smith off the scrap heap? Hired Dave Culley, a 40-year NFL assistant? The NFL has no problem hiring Black head coaches. I don’t care what you hear on tv about how ‘racist’ they are, race isn’t the issue, CULTURE is the issue. You plug all of these men into this emasculated victimhood culture that has been pushed on Black people. You don’t produce leaders that way, and that’s why Black men are struggling to get NFL head coaching jobs. Because they’ve been forced into a culture that does not prepare them for leadership. THAT’S Eric Bieniemy’s problem. It’s connected to the conversation we’re going to have about ‘The Woman King.’ Black people are living in a matriarchal culture here in America. A matriarchal culture does not produce high-quality Black male leadership, period, end of story. Either we can deal with that fact and correct it, or we can whine and cry, and call everybody racist, and say ‘OH, IT’S THE WHITE MAN’S FAULT…’ It’s OUR fault for maintaining and buying into a matriarchal culture. If you continue to be on your knees and be a beta male and a coward, eventually you’re going to get written out of the script. That’s what happened to Eric Bieniemy. Life knocked on his door and said ‘Eric, we did the best we could, we tried to sell you for three years, we got all the media saying you’re the greatest coach in the world, then you get in these interview rooms and everyone finds out you’re not built for leadership, and they won’t give you the job.' They literally tried to get rid of him this off-season and ended up signing him to another one-year deal. Now they’re done. They’ve given him all the welfare they can give him, no one would buy the fake product, and now they've written him out of the script.”

It's pretty well known Bienemy isn't well liked by players, doesn't interview well and Reid runs the offense.

Even if he doesn't interview well? Like he ***** the bed he should still get it? Lesean McCoy is very public about how much Bienemy was hated. I'm sure there is a lot of truth to that because it's also a common rumor. But it doesn't matter anything, he should just get hired?

Tom Moore led one of the most productive offensive units for years in Indy. Never at any point of his career was he a HC.

I know a company that every minority candidate they interview automatically makes it to the final round. It does not matter if they intend to hire them or not. If they meet the minimum qualifications, they pass them each round until the final round interview. I'm not saying that's what happened with Frazier, I'm referencing a completely different industry....I just wouldn't be surprised.
