Funny given what I just posted

Acknowledging Baker isn't as good as Allen, man, that's pretty out there, bro.

Bungles should rest Burrow. Would still win by 20+

Well he is better than the guy you guys brought in.

The problem with the Browns on defense is the same problem they have had for years and years.

Passive…rarely attacking

First appeared with Schottenheimer against Denver and ingrained in the culture.

Rather lose blitzing real linebackers than lose playing 6 db’s backing off the line 15 yards to give up 3 and 9

Allllll the time

Darnold ****ing sucks mate, should have stuck with initial feelings to the trade where I said this would be a disaster. Allowed myself to get sucked in after playing the Jets and Texans. For shame.

Garrett hit a Steeler with his own helmet ffs. He should have legend status with you.

NFL updates Rooney Rule, hiring cycle timeline

by Charean Williams on October 27, 2021, 6:54 PM EDT

The NFL is allowing an earlier start to the hiring cycle and tweaking the Rooney Rule in hopes of creating more opportunities for minority candidates.

The league sent a memo to team presidents, HR directors and counsel Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.

Clubs with a head coaching opening now are allowed to conduct virtual interviews with candidates during the final two weeks of the regular season. The employer club must consent to the interview.

That is opposite of what the Bills had proposed. The Bills wanted the hiring cycle for head coaches pushed back, theoretically giving assistant coaches on playoff teams a better chance of securing a head coaching job. That proposal went nowhere.

The league, though, is trying to ensure minority candidates receive more consideration for head coaching, coordinator and General Manager jobs.
Only two minority head coaches — Robert Saleh and David Culley — and three minority General Managers — Martin Mayhew, Brad Holmes and Terry Fontenot — were hired in the last cycle.

Starting with this hiring cycle, clubs must now interview two external minority candidates for all G.M. and coordinator jobs. That mirrors the requirement for head coach hirings.

In addition, teams must conduct at least one in-person interview with a minority candidate for all head coaching and General Manager openings.

NFL seeing an almost unprecedented number of blowouts

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 28, 2021, 5:06 AM EDT

A nearly unprecedented number of NFL games this season have not even been competitive.

The 2021 season has already had 21 games decided by 21 or more points. According to the Associated Press, that’s the second-most through seven weeks since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.

This past Sunday was particularly ugly: Six games were decided by 22 points or more. It was only the third time in the last 100 years that the NFL saw six blowouts of 22 points or more in one day.

The NFL has been promoting the large number of overtime games and fourth-quarter comebacks, and there have been a lot of those exciting endings. But there have also been a lot of games that made fans turn off the game early.

A handful of dominant teams are winning a lot of blowouts: The Cardinals, Buccaneers and Bills have each won three games by 21 points or more, while the Bengals have won two.

Meanwhile, a few very bad teams are losing more than their share of blowouts: The Texans have already suffered three 21-point blowout losses while the Falcons, Dolphins, Giants and Jets have had two each.

One piece of good news for the NFL is that all 21 of the 21-point blowouts has been a Sunday afternoon game, meaning the networks can switch some markets to a closer game, and fans with Sunday Ticket or Red Zone can change the channel and see more competitive football. No prime time Sunday night, Monday night or Thursday night game has been decided by 21 points or more.

But the high rate of blowouts is not a good thing for the league. Competitive games are a better product, and the NFL has had plenty of games that are getting out of hand.

Gee who would've thought when you strangle defenses with the rules teams will get blown out

Look at roughing the passer, it's an utter joke what gets called.

Do we think this will likely regress to the mean? I'd be surprised if happened all season.
