running into a new job is not the answer
that's my two cent psychobabble
Is it certain that Reid will be the GM? I thought I'd read that they still may bring a GM in, though it may end up being more of a "VP of Player Personnel" type that actually reports to Reid.
The Chicago media seems to love Fisher, and I've heard/read comments that it's a shame Lovie wasn't fired last year so we could have gotten Fisher.
I don't get it at all.
You may be right, but many, many people end up defining themselves via their careers. Retirement can be tough, and given what he's gone through personally, it might be that much tougher.
That's my two-cent psychobabble. :)
not suggesting he retire
say he get away for a while
I think you have this backwards, Harvey. To me, Reid's problem is not his job. It's his marriage and kids. The latter should probably not have happened, unless he's actually a wonderful and dedicated father and that fact has been masked by the trouble his kids ran into.
It is difficult to devote this much time to a job and have a family at the same time. People can do both successfully; Reid can't. But the coaching is who he is; it's what defines him, not his family life. It's kind of a sad state of affairs but people are often like that. I know some of them myself in other settings.
One of the things the Jovan Belcher situation did for me was bring into focus again how much these head coaches work. Because on that fateful day Belcher showed up at the Chiefs' training facility at 8am on a Saturday morning -- and Crennell and the GM were there. They work long hours.
Fisher was on the 1985 Bears. What more needs to be said? Chicagoans would be excited about bringing back Cliff Thrift.
But most of those teams have a high draft pick. And some of those teams are far from a QB away from a playoff spot. I think the only way the Niners get anything notable is if
a) the Raiders decide they want Alex Smith
b) there are 3 teams in a bidding war over him
Following in the footsteps of Dick Jauron!
Wow, I didn't even realize that. Shows how much attention I pay to the Bills, I suppose.
I don't doubt that those jobs are long-hours jobs -- but they're also seasonal and more weekend-oriented, so I'd expect to see a lot more hours put in during the football season.
According to what John Clayton just said, Reid will have power over personal, but the Chiefs are still going to hire a GM to work along side Reid.
John Gibson was amazing. Very happy for former Hawk Phil Housley.
That game was worth getting up early for.
He has no business being a head coach. He knows less than nothing about how teams score points and thus win games in today's NFL. The rules are geared towards protecting the quarterbacks and wide receivers - and this absolutely must be taken advantage of.
While it isn't all Rex's fault, the team point differential has taken significant steps backwards evey year after Year 1 and that team was more the previous regimes than his. He needs to get them moving in the right direction (9-7, 10-6)or he's gone next year.
And:
Hmmm.
someone needs to be "re-educated" on what a great gentleman and ambassador Ray Lewis is:

A couple of those Canadian reporters looked ####### exhausted. Some of them had been "reporting" for the last 25 hours straight as they got closer and closer to an agreement.
And both major sports networks in Canada (TSN and Sportsnet) will be having a special "end-of-the-lockout" discussion at 6:00pm, and then a team-by-team review after that.
The best part about this agreement is no more ####### KHL highlights that were filmed with a Nintendo Gameboy Camera.
I think the personal foul gave the Texans a first down, which would be a big advantage there. not sure of the rest of your question.
The Ponder news seemed to be out by mid-afternoon, iirc, with the idea that he was questionable at that point.
I wondered that myself. It's ridiculous that Cincinnati would benefit from a personal foul in that situation, and I'm sure Houston would have declined the penalty if it meant the clock kept running.
No, they already had the first down on the completion. The PF merely added yards to the end of the play.
They've certainly surpassed expectations by getting this far, but I'm a little more optimistic about today. The Seahawks are the better team, but they are beatable on the road, and the Redskins coaching staff has done a stellar job of scheming over the last 7 weeks to cover for personnel deficiencies.
I'd feel a lot better if RG3 was able to play without that brace, though.
They are blindly repeating what the coach's agents are saying to them. They deserve to get burned for that.
8-0 at home, 3-5 on road, albeit competitive against the 49ers and all 7 out-of-playoffs opponents.
They have been extraordinarily healthy this year, the QB and RB are very good, and the D is even better. But I just don't see the road performance that tells me they can travel 3,000 miles and win.
* - of course if RG III is too banged up to be effective, sure the Seahawks ought to win.
We'll both find out soon enough.
:)
Seattle has a better rush offense?
really?
not sure where the better pass offense comes in, either, especially with Garcon playing (Redskins are 9-1 when he plays).
Morris and RG III barely beat out the SEA counterparts in stats overall this year, so call it even, except it's a Seattle road game.
Seattle has a MUCH better defense, that is true.
are you accounting for qulaity of opponent in the two teams schedule?
I'll amend that to equal. FO has them #1 by a nose, Advanced NFL stats has them a shade behind Washington. Still, everything else they do is better than the Redskins. Washington being 9-1 when Garcon plays doesn't tell me anything unless they played a similar schedule to the Seahawks, which they didn't.
fwiw
In the past, I found myself conflicted about Ray Lewis and the murders. But the best that can be said about him is that he conspired to cover up murders by his friends, and the worse is that he actively participated in the murders.
He's done a fabulous job of rehabilitating his image. The plea deal and the subsequent acquittal played into that a lot, but really, it sounds like its not so much that "They were innocent", but really "We couldn't convict them". Was that a prosecution screw-up?
Why? I know some coaches do it by default, which is pretty foolish. Is that what you're talking about? Because otherwise, I don't see the problem.
Yes it did. Still pretty cool to watch though.
Go Falcons I guess.
Gregg Easterbrook was obsessed with this, but he would constantly point to mean stats instead of success rate to make his point.
Oh, go #### yourself.
I don't know how to make that happen though.
He shouldn't have been on the field. He is a worse pocket passer than cousins, the team would have been better with him in street clothes.
Turn the NFL in to the NFFL. The National Flag Football League. Otherwise it is an impossibility.
That would have put too much risk on the front office and coaching staff. People generally perform to not get fired more than anything else.
I think the idea behind it is that the Seahawks O-line isn't very good at pass blocking, so try to force a quick pass while hoping that your secondary can keep everyone covered for a second or two. If you don't blitz, you let Wilson scramble as the field spreads out. Not sure if it's the best call in that situation, but I think it's defensible. The problem was that the Seahawks managed to pick up the blitz and the Skins' spy didn't bother to shift towards Miller until he had caught the ball and was sprinting down field.
Its too bad, because I enjoy some of the diversity of style of college FB, and its less fun to see half of, say, Johnny Manziel's potential evaporate because that doesn't work for a football career.
Second guessing RG3 starting this game is silly, but it's definitely fair to ask what they new about RG3s injury at half time and why they didn't make the switch then.
just saying
Not if you are a barely armored tall person taking hits 280+ pound bruisers smashing into you at full speed and your skill rely mainly on your body being in good working shape. A running back can have a broken hand or a bruised forearm. A QB can't.
I don't see how. The offensive line completely melted down from the RGIII injury to the last 4th down. Cousins looked pretty good out there when given a chance.
They examined him after the 2nd TD, so they must have known he was injured. They were just hoping that 14 points would hold up and they wouldn't have to make any decision.
Should have pulled a Strasburg?
