paragon11 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well, there's a barn burner on Thursday night this week (Titans vs. Jaguars) to close out the Thursday games for the year. 2 games on Saturday as well (Eagles vs. Redskins and Chargers vs. 49ers) Musical QBs continue as well, with Bob Griffin back as the starter, Ryan Lindley for the Cardinals and Case Keenum for the Texans.

ebbie Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The NFC south is still up for grabs as their has to be a winner in bunch of losers. I guess. Man all four teams outta be set on fire. Edit: just saw the flop Tabe posted. The reactions make it worth it. The Eagles' coaches are like what the fuck is he thinking? The ref no sells it. And the other guy on the Eagles sidelines look like he just saw his mom's vagina or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Right now is the Bears at the same level as the Redskins? Cutler is better QB than Super Bob but it is clear that his skills and attitude is going down the drain. Trestman and Gruden have both shown lots of clueless moments.

Vincey Greene Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't think Chicago is on the same level as Washington. This season, maybe. But there's still hope for the Bears in the next few years. There's no hope for the 'Slurs unless Snyder sells/dies. Sounds drastic but I really don't see him ever making the right moves. He makes Al Davis look like the Mara family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 If Keenum's back, that must mean it's time for him to get his very first win! Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Maybe JJ can score 3 times on defense to help out Case. And be the full-time TE on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am looking forward to the Thursday game in a really perverse "two donkeys make for a good race" way. At least it should be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 14m14 minutes ago Chargers WR Keenan Allen broke his collarbone, per http://Chargers.com . Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 16m16 minutes ago Redskins placed QB Colt McCoy on IR. Jay Gruden gives lukewarm assessment of DeSean, praises Maclin “He’s a consistent pro, man,” Gruden said. “I love the way he plays, his approach to the football game. . . . He’s tough and it seems like whenever Philly needs a big play, third down and long or they’re trailing, Maclin seems to always show up. “Type of guy you want. Accountable guys that when the game’s on the line they have no problem making the play, and Jeremy’s done that.” That last part — “type of guy you want” — comes a little close to tampering, given that Maclin will be a free agent after the season. Maybe he’s precisely the type of guy Gruden wants, and maybe Jackson is precisely the type of guy Gruden has decided he doesn’t want. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/12/16/jay-gruden-gives-lukewarm-assessment-of-desean-praises-maclin/ Is Gruden actively trying to get himself fired?

hammerva Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The latest installment of the Super Bob and Gruden issue is kind of a take off on what Carl Banks said in New York. Banks thought that RG3 was over selling the last time he was sacked or hit in the last couple minutes of the 4th quarter. When asked to explain he pretty much quit at the end of the game, Gruden say that he saw RG3 "laying on the ground for 6 seconds" and thought he was hurt and conceded the loss. Eventually we just need to put all Skins stuff in the NFL Stupidity thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Report: Bears likely to fire Trestman The Marc Trestman experiment reportedly will be ending, soon. According to Dan Bernstein of WSCR in Chicago, Bears ownership met in the wake of Monday night’s 31-15 home loss to the Saints. Per Bernstein, the team “likely” will fold the tents on the Trestman regime. It’s not known whether the Bears also will be parting ways with the man who hired Trestman, G.M. Phil Emery.

pipGofern Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I wonder if Coughlin is let go whether he'd sit out a year or retire or be willing to jump right back into coaching. I think he'd be a nice fit for Chicago as watching last night, that team seems to need a hardass type as coach. It'd be pretty wild if Coughlin decides to part ways with the Gmen freeing up Cowher to land his dream job and then we end up with him in Chicago and the Chin in New York.

I think they would both be nuts. Cowher has a nice cushy studio job with 5% of the hours and stress of being a head coach, plus he has been out of coaching so long there is no guarentee he will be as successful if he jumps into a new situation. Coughlin is 68 years old and has two Super Bowl rings as a head coach (three total), doesn't he have a family and grandkids or something? Coaching is so time consuming and stressful I don't understand people well in retirement age that have already proven to be great coaches that stick around.

In all honesty, listening to him on the radio in Jax prior to their game a few weeks ago, it sounds like he is ready to be done soon. I can see him just moving back to Jax, enjoying retirement, helping out as much as he can with his charity and staying away from football. Now I think it'll be interesting to see where Rex Ryan ends up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It has become fairly clear that the Giants front office and players want Coughlin to return. So he isn't going to be fired. It will be completely up to him to decide if he is returning or not. I think the ship has sailed on Cowher returning to coaching anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The Fritz Pollard Alliance has released it's list of minority candidates to consider of Head Coaching jobs Ignoring the billion problems with the concept (and with the Rooney Rule)... here are the candidates Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell Buccaneers defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson Packers assistant head coach Winston Moss Former 49ers coach Mike Singletary. I think it will be shocking if Todd Bowles isn't a head coach next year. I don't see how anyone can look at Perry Fewell and Ray Horton and think "Boy - your units are so amazing, I think you should be a head coach" (well in Fewell's case - again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's funny to think that over the last 35 years, the only two good head coaches the Redskins have had during that span are the same guy. I'd take 90 year old Joe Gibbs at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Agreeing with Phil, Cowher is apparently far too happy to become the new John Madden and never coach again in his life and just let checks from CBS and Time Warner Cable roll in. http://youtu.be/d2YLO72FhRU (also note, Cowher's soft-spoken voice is like nails on a chalkboard for me) Whether the Giants will fire Coughlin and whether they should are two completely different things though. Also, it's going to be very interesting to see if they shop Eli this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 After his wife's passing, I think Cowher would rather stay in broadcasting. It allows him to see his children more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His daughters are all grown and probably don't care about seeing Dad too too often. (In fact two of the three are now married to professional athletes) Now spending time with Queen V is a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
