Could be considered a bit of an ass saving move by Chris Ballard...

Just appears to be a once good HC that got old and stagnant by NFL standards. I wouldn't discount this as Ballard's time to prove he should stay after the moves they have made recently.

Colts fans have wanted Reich gone for a bit so I'm sure they're rejoicing.  That franchise is in a similar boat as us--but the vet QBs they pick have been over-the-hill types rather than reclamations.  

Pretty nice roster otherwise.

They've thoroughly screwed the quarterback position over the last couple of seasons trading for Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan. 

That wasn't Reich's fault, though he may have believed he could fix Wentz.

I find Frank Reich's arc interesting. I remember when he left Philly, and the Colts were doing better than expected, and the Eagles struggled, there were lots of comments about him being what drove the Philly Bus, I bought into that.

Then Pederson got off to a good start with Lawrence in Jax, and Reich struggled and Pederson got some of his credit back. I wonder where Reich goes from here.

Wow, that is a bit of a surprise.

Not really. It's been rumored for weeks that he was on the hot seat. Maybe it's a little surprising that his axing was mid season (not really), but there was a time that he and Rhule were in a race to be fired.

He may not be first in line on blame for those but unless he was screaming 'NO' then he was probably part of the problem. Just those 2 moves will is enough to fire a HC and/or GM. When they got Ryan I knew it was going to end poorly over there. And after Wentz like they learned nothing.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
