Again.. if you actually posted in this thread you would notice 75% of this thread predicted it and half of those weren't even Hawks fans.
Keep talking on of your ass as usual.

Don't think we'll do as well against AP but Bridgewater doesn't scare me at all. If Lynch is back and does decent it shouldn't be all that close.
At this point I assume he´s simply forcing his way out the door in Cleveland. With a new HC and GM coming, his greatest fear has to be that those would like to give him another chance.
Last time Seattle just put 8 guys in the box for a quarter and the game was over at that point. Bridgewater couldn't do ANYTHING against Seattle. It was a painful watch.

Still think AP could break off a long run at any point and Minnesota was stupid to completely abandon the run in the second half.
It was...24-0 at that point, I believe.
So reading this stuff on Cleveland, I kinda sorta get what Haslam is doing. Brown has control of the 53, but his main role really seems to get the various parts of the operation to work together. Haslam seems most annoyed that Farmer and Pettine could not work together, and that no one was looking out for the long term health of the team. So no more Dwayne Bowe deals b/c of draft failures
But I still don't get why anyone good takes the "GM" job. Teams will block anyone they value from interviewing, and by extension, anyone they do allow to interview, they probably don't value very much. This isn't a good setup for a coach to work under, either. Lots of chefs in the kitchen picking his players

They're probably not looking to hire a new face, but a known quantity, because they think it can provide stability and/or quick improvement. In today's league, that really doesn't work. 2nd time Head Coaches almost always regress nowadays.
EDIT: Panthers - Steelers Super Bowl would be interesting because of Deangelo Williams

Slay is leaving?? Why?
You wanna kill god for us hmm Sweeney and shame on you for cheering for Shitsburgh. Taylor would never want that. (Isn't she from PA? Right? So she might. But, I digress.)
What? That's awesome. "Oh no, I have to go see my favorite team win the Super Bowl."
That's an awesome birthday present at least to me. I wouldn't be around probably to see you post about that because I would be dead from drinking bleach if they did win.
Because I believe they are doing it backwards where the GM is the buffer between the FO and the Coaching Staff so they can be forced to work together.

Dude come back.
I warned you about that guy. He's just a joke character. Don't let him get to you.

That's what the Rams get for not going 8-8

Speaking of joke characters I see Mech is pretending to be a Texans fan again.
Fisher doesn't do 8-8. He will get his seven wins come hell or high water and no more.

The real question is whether he'd and others compliment Hoyer if he gets in and somehow leads them to victory when he's shit talked him. It would really be worth it if they'd win the Owl
I guess they think consistent mediocrity is better than peaks at both ends of the Valley.

Seahawks have two straight early afternoon games.
Wow Espn? Worse than midcard.

KC @ HOU - Yah, our QBs kind of stink. But our defense will get the job done. I hope.
PIT @ CIN - Bengals in the playoffs? They stink.
SEA @ MIN - Vikings have a decent defense. And some tools on offense. Teddy isn't a very good QB though and will blow it hard core.
GB @ WAS - Because fuck it, why not have the Redskins win?

Never really post here, but just wanted to come by and say fuck the fucking Steelers. It'll be nice to see a rematch with McCarron more comfortable on the field, but I'm kind of afraid someone may actually die on the field in this game.
Fuck the Steelers.
Fuck the Steelers.

This is the fourth time in the Dolphins 50 year history that the team has lost 10 or more games. With the amount of talent on the roster all I can say is it was truly a bizarre season.

Hoyer could throw for 300 yards and 4 TDs and Mech would pretend that JJ Watt won the game single handedly.

And the Cards won big time with last night's result.
They now (probably) don't have to face Seattle again until the NFCCG and they get their divisional round opponent playing on 6 days rest.

Agreed.. You're a Bengals fan? You should post more here. It's fun.
He wouldn't throw for that ever. But I agree.. If Hoyer were to get you a win in the playoffs.. I'll quote FMT here.. They "suck his dick. Now."

Heh, it's never fun as a Bengals fan.
