Getting the sense from interviews and Twitter that Spags is almost a lock to go back to Philly. Still lives there, wife owns and works at a hair salon (wtf?), and there aren't hard feelings over Minnesota thing.

It would be the smart move but I wouldn't be shocked to see Andy stick with Castillo. Philly finishing strong (both offensively and defensively) leaves things in the air.

Spags isn't going to jump quickly either, I don't think. There are HC opportunities out there to look into as well. If Shotty can get an interview....
 
Rocky McIntosh was deactivated for the Washington Redskins against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, with several reports indicating he was late to meetings. At this point, all we know is that he didn't play. But if this ESPN 980 report is true, it's ... actually kind of hilarious.

Besides being late for a team meeting & being inattentive, ESPN 980 was also told by multiple sources that Redskins LB Rocky McIntosh broke curfew Saturday night in Philly. It was pre-planned, he went so far to make his hotel bed appear as though he was in it/sleeping - by stuffing pillows, etc under the blankets. He was of course found to be guilty -- and 'deactivated' by Mike Shanahan. There was some argument by the coaching staff for this not to happen, but Shanny made final call.

McIntosh is a free agent and had been replaced in the lineup by Perry Riley, so he probably wasn't coming back this year anyway. Might as well go out with a bang.

And even then you needed a grasp of final ditch with a gift of 5 yards from the refs. I cant even imagine what would happen to you guys in GB.


There is post right on this page showing the easiest schedule for SF of all the play off teams and Lions the hardest.

You guys needed that bum Jay Cutler to get injured to make the playoffs, lol pathetic.

I think b/c STL is so far off the radar, that people don't understand how bad Spags is.

His record is 10-38. Same record as Rod Marinelli. That's as many losses as Belichick has in 10 years. He is the worst coach in the history of the Rams, going back to their CLE days. He is a bad, bad, HC. He will need to rehabilitate his reputation a long time as a DC before possibly getting a HC interview
 
Reggie McKenzie of the Packers is rumored to be the Colts next GM.

Jeff Fisher is most likely to be our next coach when Caldwell is fired.

So what makes him a bad, bad, bad HC? I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm curious as to where his flaws are in that regard? Time/game management? Poor coaching decisions in regards to the staff around him? I don't follow the Rams much but what's the structure of the organization? Who has final personnel say? It's obvious the front office hasn't done him any favors in terms of providing talent to work with and despite a shit year they did make progress last season. This season you had a team with very little talent and a ton of injuries. I'm genuinely curious.

I thought Hanie was an improvement. Didn't you still gurantee it after the cutler injury lol. What really is pathetic when you say your savior was QB with 13 TD and 7 Int.

Now imagine how pathetic your team is. Actually dont try to imagine. Just look at the standings.

...with no wide receivers and the worst offensive line in the league and yet they were on their way to wildcard until he went down with the injury. But hey, DEM STATS!

Spags had final personnel say. Total control of draft and roster. Devaney advised and consulted. Spags wanted Mikell, got Mikell. McDaniels wanted Kendricks, and Spags drafted him. Spags chose to go after veterans instead of developing young players. That play with Crabtree getting that easy TD from Akers, all sorts of those all year. Kept punting to return guys when it was clear they couldn't cover kicks. 2nd worse run D when Spags is a supposed to be a defensive guru.

So many game management errors. He would let time run off at the end of half, then change his mind and start calling time outs. He is unqualified. I know he won you a SB and you have a soft spot for him. He is a great DC as long as someone is feeding him the studs you guys always have on your DL. But when he has to evaluate the talent and the game, he's a joke

Stafford had 9 Int in the 3 three games he played with a stent and broken finger. He had 9 in the other 13 games. But , hey lets cry because of injury.

Lions have a crappy OL. At least chicago has a good running game. Lions is all stafford. No wonder we crapped when he was injured.

If bears fan think cutler was the only reason. I hope to god the management feels the same way.

Now you beg off bad stats because of injury? Just yesterday Plinko was calling him an ironman for playing in 16 games.
 
On Polian: At first I was shocked by the news but just think about it. outside of Reggie Wayne, which of those guys on the team look good without Peyton Manning? Not a single damned one. Put Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, or Calvin Johnson on a team with any other QB and they still make great plays. Don't get me wrong, Irsay is a dickbag, but the move is the right one. The team is devoid of talent.

Some twitter updates for Giants fans as well. I know he gets a ton of hate from the fans here for his play (which is uneven to say the least), but it's funny how Rolle is now a "Coughlin" guy.
At least all of that talk is good for something.


Eh, don't know the state of this team if we get back to some semblance of healthy and remain that way nor do we know where some of those teams on the schedule will be. Basing it on this years performances though? Yeah, it's another tough schedule.
Click to expand...

My buddy gave my a load of shit last night. I am extremely vocal about my hate on Rolle but IMO that was his best game as a Giant. It's about time he backed up all the talk.

And yea, I listen to Rolle religiously every week when he comes on Joe and Evan, and he may not always be right, but he's very fiery and it clearly affects the team. Awesome.

I did not.

The guy I response to did. Never used injury in any of my post. Not everyone is tough like baby rodgers. Flynn for life.

Thanks for that.

I do have a question though about the highlighted and something to pose hypothetically. The first highlight is a massive organization mistake. IMO, a first year head coach should not have those types of duties. That's why a proper general manager, a football guy that knows how to evaluate talent and a proper scouting department that reports to that person is key to a teams success. That GM needs to have a key relationship with the head coach in making those decisions but with a first year guy? The job should be to focus on coaching the team and GROW into those types of personnel decisions.

That having been said, would it be out of the question see Spags being a successful head coach if he is hired and placed into a scenario where he is not making those decisions and his focus is in purely coaching. You may disagree with that and if so that's fine, but I'm thinking out loud and my view is that the Rams seems to have made a series of very poor choices at the organization level in giving a first year guy the amount of stuff he had on his plate.

Stafford makes CJ the best WR in the league, I agree.
 
Finally I'm home. Feels good to be back.

Ez trolling and beast with a terribly thought out argument, it's like I never left.

I did no such thing. I responded that Cutler's stats are more than just black and white bad play because of the environment around him and the poor decisions by his organization in not putting playmakers at the wide receiver position and even average linemen to protect him. Your hard on for statistics and making things black and white is short sighted. Cutler isn't a bad QB, nor does he have a Megatron in the backfield to catch balls over triple teams, a developing young receiver in Titus Young, several up and coming TE's and other weapons on offense. Lions is "all Stafford" is a laughable comment. It starts with Stafford but he has weapons.

The Bears have two players on offense worth a damn - Matt Forte and Jay Cutler. Yet they were still in the playoff hunt when he was lost. That should tell you to look past stats but then I may as well be talking to a wall.

I actually like you a lot. You are not a dirtbag. Nor I pity your miserable existence. Probably because I never take things this personally or seriously.

I do worry about other things in my life much important than people running around in a field that has absolutely no influence in my life.

If I do not return next year. Or if the lions fall back to 8 wins. neither will make a damn difference in my life.

The Colts have nothing. I don't know how you call youself a GM when the team you've built completely falls to shit when 1 guy goes down. No quarterback should be that integral to an entire team's success.

He also hired a very bad staff. I completely agree about how dysfunctional the organization was setup. I prefer to have a GM/CEO in charge of personnel and roster choices. I guess it's possible he could succeed elsewhere? It's always the question with coaches in strong organizations. How good is McCarthy? How good is Tomlin? Easier to coach when someone is always giving you good players and good assistants

Love the man, but it seems like this could and should be his last season. And if so, Tomlin and Rooney better fucking think about hiring the man as a WR coach.

They're gonna have to cut him; Ward won't retire on his own.

I just hope that if and when it happens Ward shuts it down and doesn't try going to another team.

Stafford completions: 421

CJ receptions: 96

23% of his completions are to one guy. That's not a crazy number.

You guys can bash Detroit all you want and there are legitimate things to bash. There are only two things I'll really defend on that team--Stafford and CJ. Both are elite.
