Definitely should have scored at least one of those opportunities at the goal line. Oh well, not going to play the What If? game. Outside of a few good drives, Niners outplayed them for the whole 60 minutes and deserved to win.
I can't cosign Mitchell or Captain whining about the refs. It'd be one thing if the game swung on bad call. That wasn't the case. They got their ass beat with or without the refs. Play better and you can overcome those few bad calls. Otherwise, sucks to suck.
Hahahaha, I bet they would. I know Ravens fans were hoping Caldwell gets a job somewhere.
I bet the Niners and Hawks end up with Roman and Bevell for another year. We last too deep into the playoffs for teams to be patient
Really thought the Titans wanted Dan Quinn too.
Weird, so Caldwell didn't want to run the offense in the first place.

Detroit, you're getting a great coach and a great human being in Jim Caldwell and I wish the best for you both. May I also offer you this barely used Juan Castillo in exchange for a starting center?

I don't think I've read of anyone admitting they cheer for the lakers and aren't from Cali/LA, I'd mock them accordingly.
Well besides the kobe stans and two teamers but they don't count.
We have standards. We have honor. We have class. We have balls and fortitude. We have taste in a great sport and not a bore festival of calling fouls on every play. We like a physical sport.

I've been very busy with work (4 AM-5PM), got home, checked NFLGAF quick (before Profootballtalk) and heard the news.
As Doorman said it was a pretty weak year as far as head coaches are concerned and we possibly lost out on O'Brien waiting for Whisenhunt (though who knows). I just don't see anyway the Titans are a better job without a QB, a ridiculous contract to a RB and no recievers to speak of. Not only that but we have a higher draft pick at #10 than the Titan do at #11.
I think it probably came down to how the defense was going to be run. If he wanted to run a 3-4, there is no way you come in and change that right now when we just drafted Ansah as a defensive end, and have Suh and Fairley at DT. Suh will get the contract extension he deserves and we'll ride Fairleys rookie contract till the end when we eventually get his replacement. I honestly believe that is probably the reason he choose the Titans over us.
On offense we have a proven Quarterback, Calvin Johnson, the #10 pick, two solid RBs, one of the best offensive lines. On defense we have Ndamakung Suh and a great supporting cast of defensive lineman. I don't care what anyone says we had a better coaching opportunity in Detroit if he wanted to win immediatly.
His loss. He can go to the Titans, draft a QB with no experience in the NFL, a shitty cast of RBs and WRs (other than Britt who will probably be traded) and get fired in two years. Bring on Jim Caldwell and bring on the draft.

The 2015 draft? Caldwell will get you a good pick.
Whats your Cap Situation like? Isn't it going to be terrible w/ Suh wanting to get paid and Megatron/Stafford already paid?
You guys should take a look at Greg Roman. He's a really special guy. Give him an interview! You won't be disappointed.
:jnc :jnc
Could just be Whiz got roster control in TEN, and we know Mayhew has that in Detroit. Coaches always want as much power as they can get. After his stint in AZ, I'm not sure how wise it is for him to be making all those personnel decisions
No the 2014 draft.
And Caldwell doesn't make the picks. Martin Mayhew and his scouts make the picks and I'm more than confident in the draft picks he makes.
Even when he messed up with say Jahvid Best or Titus Young they were still extremely talented players but didn't work out for one reason or another. It happens. But Mayhew is one of the best GMs in the league IMO so as usual I'll be confident with who he decides to pick.
They always have been going back to the Orton days. Whether they stick around or not is up to them. I've been doing it the same way this whole time, it would be hypocritical to change as more people post.
Sorry you can't handle the love, are you mad that Gata never welcomed you aboard the Pat's bandwagon? I'm sure Gata would welcome you in a heartbeat. If you just kiss the ring.
Titans/Detroit fans will want to read this. Thoughts from the Cardinals beat writer on the Whiz hire

This thread's too insular. Ya'll be hating on each other. We should all join together for the common good and fight against tyranny.
Caldwell might not have had the hardest coaching job on Indy lol. But he'll be an upgrade over that incest child they had before him.
:kas will probably rejoice to this. He's able to convince himself that Stafford is a top 5 QB. So finding all the good in this should be easy for him.

Excited to see Lovie in Tampa and the staff he is recruiting. Seems like a solid coaching staff.
Very intresting read. He does sound like the type of guy who wants total control, and Mayhew was probably not going to relinquish total control to him. Especially if its true that he wanted to run a 3-4 defense instead of a 4-3 defense with the recent picks Mayhew has made on our defensive line (Fairley, Ansah). Mayhew is looking out for his neck and I understand that.
And I didn't get the chance to post this, but the past few weeks Tony Dungy was campaigning very hard for Caldwell to be the Lions coach. I found that very interesting, it was as if he had some sort of insider information that Mayhew was leaning toward Caldwell. If that was the case then why wait for Whisenhunt to finally be available? Who knows but as a GM you want to keep all options available.

Kind of painful to read that and think that a guy who isn't even wanted as a coordinator would become a head coach. At the same time, though, if Caldwell came in here he would be as a head coach and would hire some other coordinator to actually run most of the offense. It really comes down to what sort of support staff he would put around him, but even there I don't expect to be impressed.
No need to turn it into a big debate now, but he hasn't exactly proven anything yet, and even if he does turn out to be good there's no guarantee that Whisenhunt thought so, or thought that he could necessarily get Stafford up to the level he needs to be. Caldwell's already broken down Matt's film and talked to him about it, so at least it sounds like there's the potential for some rapport there, but from this year on there needs to be pressure on Stafford, from coaching and fans alike. We haven't yet seen if he's capable of dealing with that.
Dem BC ties run deep.He's your favorite quarterback's favorite quarterback tho
BC and Mizzou produce a lot more NFL talent than you'd think for two largely listless programs. Especially BC.
Seriously, brosef, a 6'5" 230 lb man has no business flopping. Surprised Smitty hasn't slapped that shit out of him.
I like most of their games.
But they aren't the prodigy devs gaming side makes them to be.
Plinko
Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
In scanning some Lions message boards, I'm amazed at how many people don't want Caldwell. I don't think I've seen one that actually wants him.
Oddly, the name I see thrown around as most desired coach is Gary Kubiak. I've also seen Jack Del Rio as well. Ugh.

ok joffrey
Shame you guys missed out on Lane Kiffin.
I'd rather have Kubes than Del Rio but that's really choosing which form of anal parasites I'd want
2) No squickening
The cap situation is ideal, IMO. We have money tied up in Stafford and Megatron but thats fine. The Niners and Seahawks will feel the ramifications on the salary cap when they have to pay Wilson and Kaep in the offseason.
That obviously will trickle down and both teams will have to make some cuts. There is no way the Seahawks will be able to pay Wilson, Sherman, Earl Thomas, Marshawn Lynch, offensive lineman etc. all together.
The most important thing with a teams salary cap is making sure you have your money tied up to a QB you believe in, and a couple of key pieces around him. In our case we have money tied up to Stafford, Megatron and I think Suh will get his extension and become our anchor of th defense for a while to come.
I've already accepted the fact that we won't be able to keep both Fairley and Suh in the long run. Thats fine, we can use Fairley for the next few years, let him walk and then draft his replacement.
As long as you do well in the draft, and have a franchise QB (which Stafford is and the stats prove it) the rest will fall into place. We shored up the right side of our offensive line this past draft with Larry Warford and LaDrian Waddle. When they want there paydays in 3-5 years we'll deal with that when it comes up.
