Chuck Pagano interviewing with the Broncos today and tomorrow.

Vance Joseph interviewing with the Bengals tomorrow :lol: @Rado_N @Organic Potatoes

He's one of a bunch of people Elway is interviewing, and obvious one of the less exciting prospects along with Mike McCarthy.

Zac Taylor is the most interesting name I've seen so far amongst those lined up for interviews.

Why in the world is Mike McCarthy not an exciting prospect? The guy has done a great job in GB for a long time. Especially if you draft a young QB, I don’t think there are many better choices than him.

I dunno, just doesn't really interest me, he seemed to have run out of ideas and his way wasn't working anymore. Perhaps I'm being unfair and the situation at the Packers had just become poisonous but he's not in the mould of what I'm hoping for.

I'm hoping for someone with new ideas and who can bring something fresh to the team.

I get that. But I still think you could do a lot worse.
 
Elway, to me, seems like the type to go for something tried and tested rather than an upcoming offensive coach with fresh ideas. Never know though.

The Ravens have averaged 230 rushing yards in the seven games since Lamar Jackson took over. Fecking hell.

I always hear "you can't win if you are one dimensional, you need a complementary game etc etc"

Clearly BS if nobody is able to stop Ravens run game.

It's not just rushing imo - Jackson can go downfield just as well and has a deep threat with Brown, a possession receiver with Crabtree and a wild card with the emergence of Andrews at TE. If something will cost them it's Jackson's inexperience and maybe some ill-advised throws/picks, but they should see the Chargers out at home.
 
Patriots - Saints

Overtime win for Patriots.

Tom Brady 18/43 for 1 TD and 3 INT
Drew Brees 23/31 for 2 TD

Coinflip win propels Brady's GOAT status to unassailable heights.
 
I think they should change the playoff seeding structure so that the #1 seed picks their opponent coming out of the wildcard round. So dumb that the patriots could have the easier game, provided Texans win.

Sure but it's not like they have Barkley or some amazing RB that you cant stop their running game. But as @RobinLFC was saying maybe they are more balanced than what I thought

The O is a bit more balanced, yes... but it's the OL that you should be watching instead of the RB for why they're having success. Their OL has played very well down the stretch.
 
They should just stop giving division winners a home game. The best four teams should be the first four seeds.
 
The Patriots could play a leper in a wheelchair in 40% of their roster positions and still win that division.

What I love about that analysis is how they take it back to the old wishbone option to draw a connection to the modern RPO.

Essentially, the concepts are the same.

Take the field, draw an imaginary line down the middle, attack the outnumbered side. That’s what the wishbone did and that’s what the spread RPO does today. And yes, it leads to a distributed workload rather than a bell cow, which for my money is preferable.
 
Playoffs are as wide open as I can remember in a long time. Can see Indy, SD, Seattle, and Philly all winning on the road this week. Could just as easily picture them all losing. Should make for some exciting games in the next few weeks.
 
And Bakthiari made first team all pro a third time in the row, without making the pro bowl. Who would have thought?

Edit:
It's starting to look a lot like McDaniels will be our new HC. Don’t know what to think about that.

Can't remember a wildcard weekend that was this close , so hard to call these games . Only one game is more than a Fg in terms of lines

I'd go as far to say a division winner whose record doesn't put them in the top six in the conference shouldn't get in the playoffs simply for being average/above average in a shit division.

I don’t agree with that. Winning a division should be rewarded in some way. There’s too much excitement coming from inner divisional rivalries that would be lost. But I still think the best four teams should get the best four seeds.
 
The only sensible change is giving the #6 seed to the winner of the AFC East by default every year
 
Who'd be the trickiest possible match-up for the Patriots?
