Fans are not overreacting to the loss. The kickoff deep is defensible. The miscommunication on the play is not. Neither are the defensive play calls on the last two plays before the tying FG. Inexcusable. And that’s not even getting into the defense the entire game.

He is still getting paid so……..

While I thought Pederson sucked as a HC, he’s a good OC. The team needs someone who is capable of taking complete charge of the offense and he certainly can. Plus he’d probably be here long term since I don’t think anyone is going to rush to make him a HC again.

The exception is for an expiring contract. I don’t know if this was the case or not with Bobby Johnson. Appears as though this is the case.

Oh crap, you’re right. My bad. Still, I think the insight angle has some merit.

Rooney Rule. The Ravens had a unique offense built around a unique QB so he’s a good candidate to have some unique insights.

I didn’t realize this but the rule changed. Two minority candidates for HC and one for coordinators is the rule now. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rooney-rule-enhancement-nfl-to-require-two-external-minority-interviews-for-gm-coordinator-jobs/amp/

Agree. At least they’re funny until you’ve seen them too much, the Verizon ones are never funny. I’m going to write in that I will not miss seeing the NFL overhype every game and listening to the announcers and analysts. I need this break from that.

That’s fair. I would expect that they do almost regardless of what happens this season, but not doing so sure tells you everything you need to know. Obviously Daboll can’t say anything except what he has. Of course he loves Daniel Jones, his upside and what he could do in an offense that plays to his strengths, etc. Full confidence, set him up for success and see if he sinks or swims. It’s the only smart move at this time.

I see it the same way. Aaron Donald is going to have a field day unless the refs let the Bengals OL tackle him on every play. Burrow might get crippled.

The Bengals did something to Mahomes that I thought we’d see employed against Allen this season, but really didn’t. They regularly rushed three and used a fourth in a multiple role. First he dropped into a short zone and took away the quick slant while he also played spy. Then he often rushed late when the short middle cleared out and/or he had a clear path to Mahomes. I need to watch it again and see what else they did. Refs were letting the OLs and defense hold a lot which helped Cincy’s coverage. Rushing 3 made a lot of sense too since the OL holding was slowing up the rush anyway.

There’s also having ultimate responsibility for your team - everything is done your way, the buck stops with you, etc., etc.

Like when KC had Alex Smith starting and Mahomes on the bench - the team is doing too well with him playing. You can’t rock that boat and pull the QB you’re winning with to start a rookie.

Bengals - Niners 3?

I am stunned

The responsible person’s head should roll

Plenty of time in the half for KC to score

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this sad news.

So you think a lack of offense is the reason the Bills aren’t playing today? Seriously?

Not really a lot to take from the offensive side of the ball. McKenzie? Brieda? I don’t think Daboll rushes to pick up either of them. Beasley if cut? Doubtful. Trubisky? Probably can’t due to QB controversy, but he would make a lot of sense otherwise. I just don’t see much happening this year. Maybe down the road.

So Schoen steps foot into the Giants building, shines up his new General Manager name plate and then ships off Saquon Barkley for Moss a bag of kicking tees? Or something equally as worthless? SMDH. That’s just not happening.

If it’s okay with Tre, then sure

No. The odds of two head coaching candidates being completely even is very remote. So I would choose the best candidate regardless of whether or not another team got a couple picks around #98. And again, stealing away a quality coach from a division opponent would outweigh theme getting those picks.

Well, it wasn’t because he was practicing kicking into a net. Also he didn’t seem to be the only one.

You think that it was difficult to get Bass the play because he warms up with the net when he’s not busy? I’m pretty sure he is used to kicking an XP, then getting the play call for the kickoff. He would not have been warming up between The XP and KO anyway. The issue here is that a play call got made - which he got - and then it got changed - which he didn’t get.
