Godell pushing for division games last 2 weeks to teams from resting

An idea I don't mind. Like others have mentioned it sort of already feels that way, the week 17 game against NO is close to becoming a staple, and I'm willing to bet that when the schedule comes out we will be playing them again in week 17. If both teams are still jockeying for wildcard positions, that would be a wild game.

Plus recently we've more or less had the saints number, along with everyone else in the division, for awhile.

Edit- last season, in the final week, 6 of 16 games were divisional games that affected nothing. BUT, 3 of the remaining games had so much playoff implication that the same teams met the following week in the playoffs.

And had the Ravens not won, all 4 would've been rematches.

As for this, I'm sure this may have a little effect, but not be the be-all, end-all deterrent.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
