Conker Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The Indianapolis Colts reportedly contacted Jon Gruden about being there head coach http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18472970/jim-irsay-indianapolis-colts-owner-pursued-monday-night-football-analyst-jon-gruden-head-coaching-job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Well, I was wondering which quarter Seattle would completely melt down in. Turned out to be the 2nd. Wouldn't be a Seahawks game if they didn't make it as difficult as possible for themselves. Defense couldn't get healthy and the offense can't get right. And with no Britt to boot... pfffft. By the way, the commentary is being kind of vague so maybe someone here can clear it up, what's the Falcons offense ranked at? Now Shead and Bennett too. Can Seattle just throw in the towel and get it over with? Edited January 14, 2017 by skidmarkgn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldsBestSpy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I feel this is the Falcons year. They can get past GB or DAL imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Gut-check time for Pete and Seattle. I know he has a philosophy of running and defense but the league isn't exactly cooperating with that. Passing and scoring is what the league wants and Pete may have to just accept that and adapt. He's got the tools for a great start in the current NFL but he may have to sacrifice some defense to truly compete offensively with the best in the league. Baldwin's a beast, Wilson's a beast, Lockett's a beast, Richardson's (apparently) a beast, Jimmy would be a beast if Bevell would ever accept the fact he's a receiving tight end, not a freakin' blocker (use Willson for that shit) but it's all moot when you have O-lineman that were playing basketball 2 years ago. It's time for Cable and Schneider to open their eyes and realize the "projects" on the O-line aren't working and it's severely hurting the team. Maybe they'll have to let some defensive guys go. Yeah, it'll hurt but if you keep your core together and stop putting so much pressure on them to hold teams to under 20 it couldn't hurt that bad right? It, if anything, seems like it would help the offense reach their potential, which would mean the defense doesn't HAVE to be #1 in scoring every year for the team to stay competitive in the long run... right? I'm sure it's more complicated than that but if it's obvious to basically everyone who watches football there must be a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston played about as good as possible in the 1st half and still went into the locker room down by 4, unfortunately, I don't think any amount of help is gonna matter.

Superstarmaste1r Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) And Patriots got the W which I am satisfied from today. Even though the game was bizarre, as always they find ways which everyone should expect it at this point. On to either Chiefs or Steelers for the Championship game. Knew Texans wouldn't go all the way, but I know they won't slack like last time. Edited January 15, 2017 by Superstarmaste1r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmsleight Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I guess I'll be rooting for Falcons the rest of the way now. Wish the seahawks had played a better game. A touchdown instead of a safety would have been nice... How bout putting a little effort/attention into the OL this time around Carroll/Schneider?

I don't know what their cap situation is but the $$$ they payed to get a average/beloew average Osweiler can't be helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Holy shit that Packers/Cowboys game was intense towards the end. I nearly died laughing when Matthews hugged the air while looking off to his right at Elliot when he spun by him lmfao.

Cobby_ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm still not sold on Atlanta. Yes they destroyed Seattle, but I'm still not certain if that's more Seattle's doing. I'm hoping they win it all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemiak Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Lossweiler, lol. The main problem with our organization is how much power our GM has. The owner says we need a QB, and instead of talking to the coach to find a reasonable solition, the GM went and pulled the trigger on that deal, which O'Brian didn't support in the slightest. You look at the coaches who are truly successful year after year, and they all have a lot of pull (or all of it) on who gets drafted / traded for / or picked up. Its like these coaches who get hired to shit teams, stuck with a bad roster, and aren't allowed to make any changes that would help the team. It's like the 2-14 year the Texans had. Not once all year did a quarterback go out and change a play. I don't know if that was Schaub not taking control or Kubiak not giving it away, and that part of it doesn't really matter. If the guy in charge of winning the game doesn't have the power to change things bad stuff happens, no matter the level in the organization.

acasser Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Houston's problem with Brock Osweiler is that his contract for next season is fully guaranteed; therefore, not only is there no salary cap benefit to cutting him but the acceleration of his signing bonus would hurt the team a fair amount. So he's around for next season barring a trade where Houston would undoubtedly have to pay another team to take him on. Maybe Cleveland would do it for a high enough draft pick, but would the Texans really part with a pretty good asset just to get out from under a terrible deal? And it's not like Tom Savage lit the world on fire enough that anybody should be comfortable with him going into 2017 as Houston's starting QB. (Unless you're Indianapolis, Tennessee, or Jacksonville.) So in addition to paying Osweiler to go away, they'd probably have to pay a fair amount -- either on the UFA market or a draft pick -- to get another guy to play QB. Sorry Houston, it sucks to be you. But take heart: it sucks to be any number of teams with crummy QB situations right now.... and it's possible that they (Houston) could get a veteran stopgap QB on the cheap if they're patient this offseason, what with the number of guys who are going to be out there.
