I suppose I should just be thankful to Fisher for allowing San Francisco to have one win this year. Marvin Lewis is almost assuredly destined for the same career arc. He's already basically completed the Jeff Fisher Titan's era. After he gets fired, he will probably land a bad gig, and put in 3 bad seasons, at which point he'll be done.

Trebla Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 2 hours ago, Tywin et al. said: Funny stat time: Yesterday, the Atlanta Falcons scored more TDs in Los Angeles than the Rams have in 21 years. Romo gives them a better chance to win, assuming he's healthy. I'm not sure that Dak can win them a game verses a playoff team if Zeke gets stuffed. Dak has less than 500 passing yards in his last three games combined. "Assuming" is the key there. I don't believe he will ever be "healthy" with his back issue and I think he's too stubborn to change his game. His game has always been to look downfield first and make his progressions to intermediate and then short reads. Doing this has made his effective with the deep ball but prone to taking big hits. Over the years he's been magical with avoiding pressure and looking to throw but that led to a broken collar bone last season against the Eagles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMio5kGw_kQ and then again vs Carolina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwApt2zutGo This year in a PRE-SEASON game vs Seattle he tried to run for a first down and got his back broken He seems incapable of just taking a sack and living to see another down, like Peyton Manning did last season. Also, I don't think even a healthy Tony Romo can win a playoff if the running game gets stuffed. He has always needed a good running game to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Tony Romo is a lot better than Dak. They'd be smart to go back to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 BLOCK! Appropriate that it was right after the props given to Justin Tucker for being perfect this season....welp! I'm going to need more Harbaugh reaction shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 There's got to be some arcane contract thing that explains why Fisher got that extension and then got fired so quickly, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's really strange is that it was done before the season and they waited to announce it when in the midst of an epic 1-8 meltdown featuring classic Fisher coaching blunders aplenty. This is some shit the Browns wouldn't even do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Horrible pick by Brady. One of the worst throws that I can remember seeing him make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go in there, lose somehow that isn't his fault and all any talking head says is, "See... never should have changed from Dak!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Week Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Patriots seem to be inviting the Ravens to make it close. Huge and unnecessary boners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altherion Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 So if you were the Patriots, would you rather play the Ravens or the Steelers in the playoffs? When they gave up the 14 points in under 2 minutes, I assumed that the Patriots decided that they'd rather play the Ravens in January, but then they started playing well again.

And it can't be McCarthy or Kubiak- both have rings. But John Fox could do it! I just don't think he'll have Fisher's staying power. Marvin will not be fired. Mike Brown doesn't pay people not to work, and Marv has another year on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a lot of Punt fielding drills this week. The score was a lot closer then what truly went on in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather see the Ravens, 10/10. Would rather see both of them in the playoffs than the Giants in the Super Bowl. But it's always nice to see them beat the Ravens. Too bad this was a home game, though, because otherwise they should have left Cyrus Jones behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats are 2-2 in the playoffs. One of those wins however came off a missed game winning field goal for the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a game tying field goal which would have sent it to overtime. But on the previous play Evans had the game winning touchdown knocked out of his hands.

Rhom Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Saw a stat just now: Bill Belichick could go 0-16 for six straight years and still have a higher career winning percentage than Jeff Fisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
