They played Legion of Doom style like Seattle did back in the days...commit defensive holding and illegal contact downfield on every passing play and dare the refs to call it. They have swallowed their whistles the entire playoffs so far and today's game was no execption. Should have been better prepared to deal with it but we were not.
every team played defense like that today. except maybe us? ton of it going on in the GB TB game for sure

agree about the unsportsmanlike stuff at the end. though i was very okay with feliciano's penalty sticking up for josh when the refs blew an easy call. all of the stuff that came after that was a bit sad.

KC was getting a ton of pressure without blitzing tonight. there just weren't any open men.

yes. ed oliver is a huge problem. a high pick at a position that is having average impact at best.
-
toughest thing may be that KC is not slowing down anytime soon. our defense needs to be better, but honestly, we need to build an offense that go shot for shot with them.
Being able to get pressure on the qb with a 4 man rush would be HUGE though

people who are into coaching will rub shoulders with people who are into coaching and they will find their way in--if they are into teaching and leading. just as bienemy and all the other black coaches did. if you want in, you have to network. it doesn't just happen. there is no wand.

Is Houston racist - maybe. Is Houston incompetent - yes.
ya this is it right here. old boys network stuff can be used very effectively by people who know what they are doing.
if you're too incompetent to put the pieces together, you are going to fail whether you are hiring friends or otherwise.
I think Caserio is likely a good hire for the texans, but if McNair won't get out of the way, it won't make a difference.

success in life is largely about networking and connections. There are people who are good and bad at using that tool--on both ends of the equation. But I don't think you can eliminate it. And I'm not really sure you should.
people who strive to get to certain places in life should be aware of this and be savvy enough to make those connections. It won't be real or lasting if it doesn't happen organically.

how do you fight nepotism?
how do you make a rule against it?

Huh?
you ask why is there a rooney rule, implying that the reason must be driven by logic.
im not going to argue one way or the other. But not all decisions are based on logic and reasoning.

But if it was simply nepotism, why is there a Rooney Rule requiring interviews of minorities? Doesn’t that speak to the fact the league itself recognizes there is inherent racism, or at least favoritism?
I remember when it was a controversial thing to play a black QB. When Buffalo started a rookie black QB in 1969 it was a very big deal.
I have read OJ’s book about his rookie season in 1969, and he talks a lot about the inherent racism in the league. I think the remnants of that racism remain, or else there wouldn’t be a rule forcing teams to interview minorities.
optics/virtue signaling are very high on the list of why things are currently done. logic is sometimes the last thing that dictates cause and effect.

Wait, do we think Bienemy had any interest in this job?

Turned down an interview I believe.
It is said they had an agreement to wait until after this weekend to interview. 2 weeks off before SB would give a little cushion to focus on interviewing for a minute
23 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said:That, and because of the Reich connection it is possible he might have some insight into how to work with Wentz and some credibility with Wentz?
yeah. this is the big thing they are touting in the media. and it makes sense. wentz is a huge investment that has not gone well so far.

His father, Fran Sirianni, was my 8th grade science teacher at Southwestern Middle School. He had just started teaching that Fall after being cut from an NFL team after a training camp try out, as a DB iirc.
Fran is my neighbor. Love him. I'll ask him about this the next time we're out doing yard work at the same time. He and his wife have been to almost every game Nick has coached since starting with the Chiefs. Until COVID-19.

fun fact: Sirianni was wide receivers coach in KC while Daboll was Offensive Coordinator.

Southwestern HS, good all around athlete. WR at Mount Union where he won D3 national title. Got on the bus with Reich and has followed him on several stops.
it speaks for well for you when people want to take you with them. Even more impressive is when the people who hire you leave, and the next guy keeps you on.
Sirianni was first hired by Haley in KC. When he left, Crennel kept him on with the team. Then moved on to SD. WOrked with Reich. Reich left the team, and then pulled out the rolodex to bring him back in the fold when he got his own team.
people will cry that he got a job over BIenemy, but he has paid more dues and made more contacts to vouch for him, imo.

After his stint with Denver and the way he bailed on the colts at the last second. I don’t think anyone gives him a chance
I actually forgot about the Colts thing. I think that is more disqualifying than anything. I really think he could have and probably did learn from what happened in Denver. He was ridiculously young at the time. I think you can change stripes at an early age.
But the Colts thing was absolutely not good.

Happy to see the hire and youth movement opposed to the same ole same ole retreads getting jobs.
yup. i think a guy like McDaniels deserves a second chance. He's put in the time. He is still young. But most of these guys have shown their stripes. This one was interesting because we had been hearing about the Colts D Coordinator with Philly, but I hadn't heard Nick's name mentioned in a couple years. Maybe I just missed it.

His parents are my neighbors. I am so pumped for this! Awesome football family. Great neighbors.

Then we better win the Super Bowl this year, because we sure as hell aren't winning it if we're paying one player that kind of money.
We better not pay him any extra $ until his current contract is over. If we do, we're essentially just throwing away our best chance to win a Super Bowl. Isn't that what it's all about?
Not saying I want to do this with Allen, but some team sometime is going to draft a stud rookie QB, keep him for 4 years + the 5th option year, and then let him go, having used a 1st-round pick on a replacement the year prior. It makes too much sense for some bold team to not make a habit of this.
but then it makes zero sense when you realize we just waited 25 years to get a franchise qb.

I HATE brady. but that is a nice moment.

Houston's problem is that Cal McNair is Ralph Wilson, Al Davis, James Dolan, etc. He needs to fire easterby. Let Caserio run the franchise. and get the hell out of the way.

there is a number that he is worth right now, and then there is a number he will be worth if he does this for a 2nd straight season. THey should try to get him for something like 35-40 tops. if he says no, see if he can do it again. if he does it again, you can go 45. if he doesn't want that, we were all fooled and he doesn't want to be here.
