rjshae Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It was kind of weird how Pittsburgh seemed to be doing really well for 11 games, and then all of a sudden they weren't. Some strange JuJu, I guess. After that first Pittsburgh play, it just looked like they were in for a long night. It reminded me of a similar play by Denver in the 2014 Superbowl. Anyway, congratulations to Cleveland, and good luck... vs. Kansas City. Yikes. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Bartimaeus Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Seems like an absolutely lousy choice. Mike McCarthy has been famous for picking or staying with bad coordinators he's friends with. I can't help but think the McCarthy isn't long for Dallas and this is all just a waste of several years.

Gromnir Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 regardless o' the dc, personnel issues is gonna be the biggest concern for the dallas defense during the off-season. situation were terrible for nolan. covid-19 hits and a new dc from outside the organization attempts to change the defensive scheme including new nomenclature with the benefit o' far fewer practices than would be ordinary available. a couple key injuries further stymied efforts, but injuries is predictable. 'course once nolan lost the confidence o' the team, were no chance to fix problems. nolan had to go. so, bring in a new dc with decent defensive pedigree who will once again change the scheme while facing numerous (likely) personnel changes due to fa moves as well as need deal with similar covid restrictions as last year lasting deep into summer (reduced) practices. also, the dallas defense doesn't have the kinda interior d-line presence quinn enjoyed in seattle, and am not sure fa and the draft will be transformative. am kinda liking neville gallimore potential, but less so with quinn's scheme, which is too bad. am not a dallas fan, but am always rooting for the Kanadians playing big in the nfl and the dallas d-line is representing most o' the canadian d-linemen playing in the nfl... well, at least the starters.

It's not that there's anything necessarily wrong with these guys, it's just...it's same old McCarthy doing the same old crap, and I just can't think this is going to really work out.

Gfted1 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I saw that and it made me even sadder. Before they hired Quinn I read an opinion pieces on Bleacher Report about how the Cowboys should consider Marvin Lewis for DC, and I think that would have been a much better choice (assuming he wanted the job). 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_dog_days Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Robert Saleh is the new Jets head coach. This was the guy I was hoping for. The only real downside is I can see him trying to keep Sam Darnold 'cause he's a defensive guy and imo we'd be better off trading Sam and starting over.

Not only that, but your offensive coordinator is Matt LaFleur from the 49ers too. That particular Shanahan branch of offensive coaches has been highly successful so far, interested to see if Matt LaFleur will be as well. @rjshae Quinn completely inherited the Legion of Boom, too - while they did play better under him than the previous DC they had, I've noticed over the years that a lot of coordinators who previously had great talent in their system aren't able to adjust very well when their talent isn't nearly as good.

Keyrock Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The Chiefs are so good that they got bored and sleepwalked their way through the second half of the season. It will be interesting to see whether they can just flip the switch or if it takes them a while (potentially too long) to get into gear.

Bartimaeus Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I don't feel comfortable picking any of these games. Packers-Rams feels like the most likely game to tilt one way, but the Packers have lost to NFC West teams with great defenses in the playoffs so often over Rodgers' career that I can't feel good about this even though it's theoretically the easiest matchup out of everything remaining. Saints-Buccaneers is a toss-up but I tend to go with the team that smoked the other twice even though the Buccaneers have clearly gotten better over the last month. For some reason, I favor the Browns over the Chiefs - I'm not really sure why, though. Most likely, Browns will Browns it, but... Bills-Ravens is also a toss-up, so I guess I'll favor the home team.
