Those Jaguars LOVEEEEE to talk. It's worked for them so far, but let's see if that continues.
That's all the Pats need is a little more motivation. haha
Has nothing to do with who wins and everything to do with how many people actually want to watch them.
Yes. The Saints players had to come back from the locker room. It was the right thing to do.
Speaking of stupid rules, they should change that one. No reason for them to have to go through the motions.
Agreed. Having the Saints players come back out there was stupid.
Yeah, I knew that's what you meant. I just wish the NFL would use some common sense and change the rule.
Nope, for the Titans job, I heard.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure that will ever be a thing again. The Colts have ruined Andrew Luck in a "David Carr"-like fashion. Which is sad.
Not necessarily. If he blows out his knee in his senior season and loses some of his ability as a runner..... no bueno.
I don't get it either. It's definitely a trend going around college football, though. Lots of folks returning for their senior season who probably should go. I think players are starting to recognize they can really build their brand while in college, if they're at a blue blood and/or Top 25 program that's on TV a lot. Sometimes, these college studs leave a year early, and then wind up in a market totally ignored by the East Coast like Oakland or San Diego, and become invisible from a marketing standpoint (Joey Bosa comes to mind)
I'm not a big fan of affirmative action and that is essentially what this rule is. I guess it was needed to begin with, but there have been enough successful minorities in the NFL that I don't think it's really needed and in some cases can even be demeaning if it's known who will get the job already.
It's definitely affirmative action, and it's definitely gotten to the point where it's demeaning. It's created a lot of "token" interviews, which is demeaning to everyone involved... the minority candidate, the GM, the organization, and the fans.
Yeah, the token interviews are a farce. We've been hearing for days how the Pats DC and OC are basically locked into jobs at Detroit and Indy, respectively. So, did either organization interview a minority candidate? Same deal with the Raiders; they basically just plucked Gruden from the broadcast booth, apparently without interviewing anyone else?
Agreed.
From my understanding, they're forced to hire a minority candidate because of the rule. Typically, they'll just interview a minority coach already on staff as a token interview to satisfy the requirements.
Steelers part ways with OC Haley. Those two fourth and short play calls were horrendous. I heard where Big Ben was 18 out of 19 getting first downs in those situations by running the tried-and-true QB sneak, yet Haley didn't try that either time? Dumb.
Starts at the top. I'm with @gunslingerdick on this one... Tomlin is a pretty mediocre coach. I lost all respect for him after the sideline thing against the Ravens. Dude knew what he was doing.
Regardless of how anyone feels about Brady, I hope they realize that they're watching the greatest quarterback of all time. As much as I loved watching Montana, Favre, etc., the arguments for other potential GOATs are falling away with each year that Brady continues to play.
I’m anything but a Bahston fan. Tom Brady is the best to ever get in the QB business. No matter the receiver. No matter the running back. He wins. Tom Brady is a winner. Say what you will but just remember you’re saying it about the GOAT to ever play the game.
Yeah, it's really annoying.
