Great opportunity call the guy my that just prepped for the Chiefs defense a week ago to ask "What did you learn and what went wrong?" May possibly be a nugget or two we can use. If not a reason to touch base with him and feel him out as a potential Brady replacement should the Saints come knocking.

This is a reminder for all those saying Joe Brady would never take the Saints job. Slowik I thought did a good job. At various points this year he lost Diggs, Collins, Dell, Mixon to injury. They still made the divisional round. He even interviewed for a couple HC spots this cycle. And out of a job. You got a hop on jobs when you're hot. Bet on yourself and you just may go bankrupt for reasons beyond your control anyway.

So, he gets to rehab his image and the 49ers reap 2 more 3rd round picks when someone hires him? Win for both sides. Seriously, I don't think any team has taken advantage of that rule better than San Francisco. Can't be an accident.

I appreciate that. You're welcome, buddy! Happy to be of service! Go Bills!

Jesus, the guy was here better part of a decade and was an All Pro. How do you not know what his name is ...

Pete was in a similar situation with the Hawks. That was the year they signed Flynn to play QB and doubled down on Wilson in the 3rd. I can see a similar approach. Maybe Darnold as the vet and draft a QB like Milroe or Will Howard to compete on day 2 or 3.

I don't mind the hire. The Raiders need a new mindset and Pete can bring that. I view it as a "bridge HC" hire. This is almost like a Dick Vermeil hire to me. He doesn't have much at QB. But this is the guy that ran a Seahawks team that hid Russ Wilson for years and under his watch turned Geno Smith into a mid level starter. I don't think they need to get him much to work with. Maybe a Sam Darnold landing spot for me.

Honestly, I think the Saints job is McCarthy's if he wants it, Brady being next in line. Raiders hiring Spags away from KC would be fine with me. And a sneaky way to weaken (potentially) the top team in your own division. But I think Carroll is the frontrunner there.

It's gotta be Von. If not now, when? It's why he was brought in. It's why he was paid really well and I believe it's why he was kept after his off field issues.

Technically, he has until game time to get cleared. But I believe one full practice was a requirement as part of the concussion protocol. They opened his window up.

And today the die has been cast. So all falls on tomorrow, which is what I'm saying. Taron may want to play and may play with a harness, he just may not be to that point. If he can't harness it and practice there's not a huge chance he plays IMO. He's a gamer though, if he can be out there he will

Taron going from full to limited and Benford still being limited are a concern for me. All falls on tomorrow.

Remember when this guy spurned the Bills to "finish the job" with the Jets? This is a Jason Garrett type hire. I expect Jason Garrett type results.

This is what happens when you give everyone a trophy for participation. Censorship? Get real. And what exactly is "asshamed?"

And yet voters will still vote the way they want to. The fact that he's even nominated with these new rules should tell you something.

Egads, you're right. Let's just tank to the Chiefs. Let it be their problem.

Honestly, even though he folded at the end of the year Sam Darnold should get the award IMO.

Uhhhhh..he proved that last year after the Kelce no play. And he gets very whiny and upset when things don't go his way. It's very possible to get in his head.

I wouldn't say I'm confident. But I would say the possibility is higher than it's been in 30+ years. KC may not be what they once were, but KC in the playoffs in Arrowhead is no simple task. And in likely hood if we win it sets up a Super Bowl match with the Eagles and Barkley. That's another daunting task with this run defense. I will also say that no matter what happens Sunday and possibly in the Bowl, I'm happy with how this "rebuilding year" turned out. This team turned out light years better than the team that played at Arrowhead for the AFC Championship a few years ago. I hope we don't miss the opportunity, as we never truly know when the next will come.

I absolutely love that this has been a talking point during the week on the shows and articles. This will be the week that the refs have to reel it in. They cannot afford to give KC easy first downs on ticky tack penalties. They know they are under the microscope so to speak. Now I'm not saying they will go into the game with any direction not to throw flags or with that goal in mind. But it's human nature to be on your best behavior when you know you're being watched. On the flip side of I'm coaching the Bills defense, I make darn sure they realize they will possibly be flagged for hitting Mahomes....so if you are going to make contact....make it worth the 15 yards. I'm not saying set out to injure. But give him a physical shot. Bumps bruises. Our defense is going to likely get sliced a bit. So I'll trade a 15 yard penalty and getting a shot on Mahomes over a 15 yard pass that has the opportunity to turn into something more. We know he's soft mentally. Hit him hard a few times and make him see ghosts. Make any penalties worth it.

Saints hoping for a Chiefs-Commanders Super Bowl, apparently.

As I said in the game week thread I think the Bills have a good chance to not only win, but win by double digits. However, in the prediction thread I have been picking against the Bills and they have been winning. So I understand the assignment. Chiefs 27 Bills 23

With how their QBs are now...no. But teams have plans and maybe the Raiders have one at QB that suits Brady. However, I'm not sure he's even been interviewed by Vegas Remember, this interview process is just as much the coaches interviewing the teams as it is the teams interviewing the coaches these days.

I hope Joe Brady dated his daughter at sometime in the past and it ended terribly.

Yet this is exactly what happened. And in short order too. So you can imagine the rest of the answer to be just as fictitious.
