Why do teams kick it deep. Squib it and take a few sec off so the offence gets 1 less play. not like they are going to gain much yds or might even start deeper then a touchback.

Take away the chance they have. No return means no chance of a TD there.
 
If you give up a TD return on a squib everyone should be cut the next day.
Probably the bigger worry is they don't get far enough. Given it was the Chargers it is probably a correct assumption
 
He took a franchise that had been a consistent winner and struggled to keep the team relevant.

After five seasons in Cleveland, Belichick was fired by owner Art Modell.

His record with the Browns was 36-44, a .450 winning percentage.

This includes only one postseason appearance in 1994.

Looking back at his time in Cleveland through the lens of former players, coaches, and media, it’s not hard to figure out why Belichick was persona non grata.

Initially, one could look at the surface level and just focus on Belichick’s overall record with the Browns. 36-44 isn’t exactly a paean of a world class coach.

Just about any owner worth their salt would axe a coach who posted a losing record after five years on the job.

There were numerous other factors that led to his firing.

Ultimately, despite his meticulous game planning and football acumen, many of his Cleveland players had soured on him by 1995.

Belichick’s sin of jettisoning the fan favorite was unforgivable to most Clevelanders.

“Browns fans are enraged by the sacking,” read the November 12, 1993 article. “A radio call-in poll showed sentiment running against Belichick by a 9-1 margin. Some season-ticket holders have demanded their money back. And Browns players aren’t any happier. Said runner Leroy Hoard: “I thought it was a joke. How do you get a positive out of this?”

Interviews with Belichick became so dreaded that local media began to nickname him “The Voice of Doom” or just “Dr. Doom.”

By the time 1993 arrived, Browns fans had soured on Belichick.

Angry from the losing and his dour demeanor, the fans began calling him “Mr. Bill” after the Saturday Night Live character.

Of course, things really got bad after Belichick cut Kosar.

A character in the 2007 movie No Country for Old Men had a memorable line, “It’s the dismal tide. It’s not the one thing.”

For Belichick’s time in Cleveland, that quote is true.

In a conversation mentioned in the book “The GM,” former general manager Accorsi said Belichick told him, “I really screwed up that thing in Cleveland, Ernie.” Truer words have never been spoken.


THAT is the real BB. He became the luckiest man on the planet when he backed into an all time great qb.

Check his record without TB—he is an awful head coach.

Should have been flexed imo.
The cowboys still have 2 more prime time games remaining. A mnf against the bengals and snf game against the bucs. Would have to think those games get flexed out.

Think you would swap the week 14 matchup for either the cards/hawks or rams/ bills game.


The commanders/eagles game in week 16 should be flexed into the Cowboys/bucs game.
