That's probably the game.

Lions sticking with Matt Patricia feels similar.

Looks like I was wrong about New England. Bills are rolling.

This referee crew is a mess.

I'll take the Bengals and Patriots.

The Cowboys bit is interesting. Maybe Jerry Jones is afraid of losing Kellen Moore, so he wants an excuse to promote him to HC.

Not really a true statement. He made the wrong call on declining a penalty. They still punted on 4th down. It was dumb, but lets not make it something it wasn't.

Exactly. Yes the offensive line is hot trash. But so is Sam Darnold. Both things can be true.

In a vacuum, Cam is better than Darnold in that situation. I only say probably, because if we're talking about it in context, Cam would have been subbed in for that particular play. That alone kind of alerts the defense that something is up. And maybe there's an element of surprise with Darnold taking the snap himself, since you wouldn't expect him to do that. But in the context of Rhule's stupid response to the decision, no they aren't really equal in their capability to run the ball in the red zone.

Reddick and Burns are both good edge rushers, but they are pretty one dimensional. I would let Reddick walk and probably try to trade Burns while he's still a great value. I don't think Burns is a bad player or anything, but we will have to pay him soon and I'm not sold on our defensive front 7 build as a whole right now.

I hate to be that guy, but that chart stops at 2014. We all know Cam was an elite player in his prime. That said, 2021 Cam is probably still better in that situation than Darnold

Thats part of why I wouldn't be shocked if Rhule takes some college job halfway through the season next year.

The transfer portal definitely makes college less interesting to me. I like the school choice having some weight behind it. Having to sit out a year made changing schools a major commitment.

I agree and I also think his massive endorsement of Rhule weighs on that too. When he said he's our Chuck Noll.

The logic for taking Brown was there. It just doesn't look great with the benefit of hindsight. If he was a dominant force inside, people wouldn't be saying we should have taken a tackle. He could still turn it around next year, but I think it's just one of those unfortunate cases where you take a guy in the 1st and he's just average.

He played tackle all year and got a 83.7 overall PFF grade for the season. What?

And to think Tepper didn't want to embarrass himself by firing this clown after 2 seasons.

Jim Irsay is a bit nuts, but he's a huge fan of his own team.

If that's true, who's evaluating what "better" means? If it's Tepper making the call, I don't expect it to turn out any better than last time.

You know if only his arms were a bit longer...

So what's the rationale if we win 5 to 7 games next season and he's still around for year 4? There's really no reason to keep around a coach that should be fired. It would be better to go ahead and move on, and give the new guy the expectation that we aren't gonna have the most resources year 1. It would be a rebuilding year, like 2020 should have been before we signed Teddy Bridgewater and got impatient.

The position was his as soon as Urban Meyer was fired. The man got blown out by Joe Judge.

Can't wait til he loses to all the new coaches we play next year

It's the silver lining to each year going by faster as you get older. It feels like its Christmas every 90 days or whatever. What's another year at this point? I'm just hoping we don't have to wait decades.
