Mr. Scot

One of the two got an extension this offseason...

FYI: The rookie coach we lost to a week ago lost last night to a Cowboys team led by a backup. There's probably a thread to be made about games we lost that we probably shouldn't have but I'm not gonna do it right this moment.

Sterling Shepard apparently suffered a pretty bad injury last night so any thoughts of trading for Giants receivers might have to be put on hold.

Maybe, but I think Daboll is legit.

Isn't he also a bit of a head case?

That was dumb.

Snow prefers man.

He does.

Wilks was reported to have been Ron Rivera's first choice for defensive coordinator, but the Chargers wouldn't grant permission for him to interview. Sadly, he had to settle for some dude named Sean McDermott

Personnel built for man paired with a coach who prefers zone...

Gotta be a bit of a film / analysis junkie to do it. I used to watch every game at least twice. Having grandkids leaves less time for that sort of thing But yeah, the fact it's not much fun these days also makes it tougher.

Best uniforms ever? I actually like this idea. Heck, most major league sports have some sort of all star competition. We seem to be going more in the direction of basketball as opposed to baseball.

I just find it funny to think there was a time when players truly took it seriously.

My current choice for an interim would be Tabor. Campen's done it before too.

We had this discussion regarding Rhule's "we're close" comments. Truth is a relatively small percentage of NFL games are outright blowouts. Most games are close, but people mistake the idea that consistently losing games by a small margin means something positive. Losing is losing too...by an inch, or a mile, it's still losing.

I think even the biggest Dorsey fan probably has to admit this is pretty funny

The Brown family in Cincinnati too... As I recall, there was talk of forcing them to sell the team a few years back. (part of me wonders if Tepper will get to that point down the road)

Nah. That post actually was a joke that some folks didn't get But Lord knows a discussion of self important people wouldn't be complete without you

Happy Pro Bowl Games?

Feel free...Heaven knows I have my share of "fans" who'd rather talk about me than about football. I started my last thread thanking another poster for the idea and then writing out an analysis. It's actually how I prefer to start conversations as opposed to "Here's my take. It's proven fact. Deal with it." I suppose I could go with something like "all of you are beneath me" but I prefer to think of it like my Mom did, i.e. "if you've gotta tell me how smart you are, you're probably not". Case in point

I defer to the expert...

I've gone back and forth on that. It's valid that Rhule is the one common denominator, but does he even have enough offensive knowledge to leave a "stamp"? You previously could have said his stamp was "run the ball, stop the run" but then he inexplicably switched over to "passing is what wins in the NFL". Gotta figure that was McAdoo. One thing's I'd say though: The calls for McAdoo to be the interim coach if Rhule does get fired are probably gone.

irony is a wonderful thing

Well, I've never started a thread declaring that everyone who disagreed with me was a crybaby and I was better than them, so at least I've got that going for me

Jim Carrey gif incoming...
