Good period, nice to have Freddie back. Also Brady Skjei is the best Brady in all of sports history, change my mind

Agreed. Just pulling for the Jags tonight, and possibly next round depending on matchups. Prefer the Chiefs make it to the SB out of the AFC.

Let's go Jags, always had a soft spot for our expansion brothers who are also in the south and cat teams.

I completely agree that the team around Purdy is ridiculous and Shanahan is an offensive genius (I mean he got Matt fuging Ryan to the SB and an MVP...). That being said, Purdy has been incredible too, considering the circumstances (3rd string 7th round rookie). I honestly think he's been playing better in Shanahan's system so far than Jimmy G ever did even in their SB run. I know, that's not saying much since Jimmy G has been overrated when Shanny deserves the credit, but if he keeps playing like this they have a better chance to win it all than they have had before under Shanahan in my opinion. The worry for them though is teams having more film on him and he'll struggle against the elite defenses he'll see later in the playoffs.

she's howling now

Gonna be tough for the Hawks to come back if they don’t get a stop here. Critical series to open the 4th Q

He has 4 career starts lol, you can’t judge his pro performance whatsoever. And he’s 22 years old. I would give up a 3rd not much more though. Maybe 2023 3rd and 2024 4th or something. And ideally the 3rd being their pick back not ours

24th if Bills win. 23rd if Bills lose.

Loving what Geno is doing, perfect throw there. Never liked the Seahawks and hated them in our prime Cam years when we were kinda rivals but with Wilson, Sherman, etc. gone I think I’m pulling for them to come out of the NFC this year.

SMOKESCREEN SZN

well that is fuging stupid

Lol this is the PFT writers' choice, NOT the official choice. I would put my money on the AP (official award) going with Geno.

If I were in NFLPA leadership I would strike until this issue was resolved to be honest.

The thing I like most about Steichen is how well he's developed two young QBs with very very different play styles and skillsets in Herbert and Hurts.

Steichen is my top choice (assuming reports on Harbaugh being out are true)

There's so much smoke here with McVay that I think it would be a huge mistake to not at least check in on the situation. McVay is no doubt an elite offensive minded HC, exactly what we're looking for and need. Mixed reports on him wanting to take time off/actually retire and go into broadcasting or if he sees the writing on the wall for the Rams with Stafford's health/age, their cap situation and all the picks they gave up to go all in for last year. If his current hemming and hawing is the latter, we should be going all out trying to trade for him and convince him to want to continue to build his legacy here. Odds are he is considering a legit retirement but if there's any chance he just wants out of LA and would coach for another team we should be trying to be in the mix. Just my opinion...

That would be stupid and a waste of an interview, Leftwich is trash and that was proven this year after Arians left. Ryans, although defensive which is not ideal, is a legit fresh HC candidate who would not be a waste of an interview. Not even just for the Rooney rule although it would satisfy it, I'd circle back to Eric Bieniemy. Mahomes and Reid are great but his contributions to making the Chiefs the number 1 offense after getting rid of Hill can't be ignored. He should be a sought after legit candidate.

no I don't watch college football and it's completely irrelevant. Harbaugh is proven at the NFL level with crappy QBs. If he gets himself a Mahomes type QB like Andy Reid did he'd be set up to build a dynasty. He's that good of an NFL coach. And Tepper is gonna blow it because of his ego

Hopefully Tepper is underwhelmed by these guys’ interviews and drags his shriveled up brass balls begging back to Harbaugh

Probably no less qualified than Tepper himself anyways

Wilks is the man, great dude and I'm happy for him having a pretty successful run as interim HC (relatively speaking). That said, he is not the right man for the job here if we want to seriously attempt to turn this team into a Super Bowl contender. Has nothing to do with his leadership ability (which is great), his race (which is irrelevant) or anything else Wilks supporters will point to. It has to do with the direction the league has been trending. Wilks coaches an old school conservative, defense oriented game which is not how you win in the current league atmosphere (rules, league-wide scheming/strategy, etc.). You need a franchise QB which needs to be developed by a bright (often young) offensive mind. If you go with a defensive HC and have the bright offensive mind as your OC, he's going to get poached by another team if he's any good. Going with Wilks or any other defensive minded HC will continue to set this team back. I don't like this reality, I love old school football like Wilks coaches, like Rivera coached, etc. But it is the reality of the league, you need offense to win and in particular you need a top tier passing offense. Wilks, no matter who he tries to bring in at OC will not be able to offer that in the longer run. Harbaugh would be great as a bright offensive mind who has a proven track record of success in the NFL and not only in the W/L column but in getting the absolute most out of a few average QBs in Smith and Kaepernick. That's why he's my #1 choice, as unlikely as it seems now with the reports about Tepper rejecting him essentially. After that, get a young OC who has had success like the Eagles guy. Going with a retread is a mistake and going with any defensive guy is a mistake.

Didn't see a thread on this, see below. If we can get a legit HC and an even average QB this doesn't look so bad at all. NFC South and AFC South both suck so we've got plenty of opportunity next year if we can get our shgit together Home Away Atlanta Falcons Atlanta Falcons New Orleans Saints New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers Green Bay Packers Chicago Bears Minnesota Vikings Detroit Lions Houston Texans Jacksonville Jaguars Indianapolis Colts Tennessee Titans Dallas Cowboys Seattle Seahawks Miami Dolphins

We hire Reich, draft a linebacker, trade for Carr and continue to suck ass next year

Dude Fields just led his team to the 1st overall pick and you think he'd save this franchise? lol

I can't imagine what legitimate HC prospect would have any interest in going to Houston. People think our situation is bad but theirs is 10x worse.
