“We are very disappointed with the results of the season so far and believe a change in leadership was necessary,” Ford said. “We are beginning a national search for the best leadership to manage our team going forward. I want to assure our fans that we intend to identify and hire the very best leadership in order to produce a consistently winning football team. Our fans deserve a winning football team and we will do everything possible to make it a reality.”

The very best leadership? Sorry, ma'am, but Mr. Belichick is already under contract.

Is it an NFL game or is it a human traffic light?

[mgoetze]

Oh wow, Elvis Dumervil. That has got to be the stupidest penalty in the history of the NFL.

[mgoetze]

Aaron Dobson at WR. Brandon Bolden at RB. Bryan Stork at RT?!? BUT! THE BEST KICKER IN THE NFL!

Pats game was awesome. FU GIANTS.

"I'm disappointed in him because of the integrity of this game. I have a lot of respect for him. He's a really good player. There are a lot of kids and people who look up to him, and for him to make comments like that, he's just showing that's acceptable to say that kind of stuff."

lol. pretty sure this should clear up any doubt about andy dalton being a complete loser. wont somebody PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?

Meanwhile, this season is really, really weird. Aside from a few good teams and a few really bad teams, does anyone really know how to rank the teams? Are NYG a top 10 team? Oakland? Are the Vikings an NFC contender?

[PhantomSac]

Hell no to Giants, they blow. Oak is legit if Carr is really this legit but it's more likely he's on a heater, guess time will tell. And the Vikings are legit imo, very good defense, ageless wonder of a running back, and bridgewater doesn't suck.

[PhantomSac]

On the other hand when did Carson Palmer become elite? Lol.

The COWBOYS would be 9-0 with Romo this year fwiw. Our defense has played so far above expectation that we have been in every game with Weeden/Cassel despite being able to score TOUCHDOWNS. Romo would really be a hall of famer if he had been on another team, been saying it forever but he's the only reason we have been an 8-8 team every year (except for last year), without him it's like when indy lost peyton, we cannot win a game.

ETA: We lost by 9, 6, 7, 1, 7, 4 with CASSEL/WEEDEN. I repressed the PATS blowout, guess we'd be 8-1 lol.

This is what I was afraid of when he went down but sadly it looks like the season is already over. That said, the OL and D should still be there next year and a decent draft position might be just the extra boost needed to make a run...

Obv i agree but just devil's advocate NYG have Lost by 1, Lost by 4, Lost by 3, Lost by 1 (wins are mostly not close games, another loss is by 20)

Carr is legit imo

4th and inches at midfield, commentators don't know what to do. Even Jason Garrett insta sends out the offense, to which one commentator suggests the Cowboys are in "nothing to lose" mode, and another says no, he was thinking he has the best O-line in the game. Almost all coaches insta go for it in that spot now, as evidenced by one of the worst/most conservative coaches in the league doing so.

I don't watch a lot of NFL, but I always thought it was standard for the commentators to be hopeless at this, and clearly worse than the coaches? 4th and goal at the one-yard line, first drive of the game, would you expect anything but "Can't go away empty after a good drive like this" "got to trust your defense"?

[PhantomSac]

It depends on the coach and depends on the commentator. The VIKINGS just punted on 4th and 2 from the packers 41. With the best running back in the game. Incredible lol. Many commentators would criticize that also fwiw.

Guess maybe Garrett has gotten smarter. FOX went for it down 8 on like 4th and goal from 3 or 4 with not that much time left. They didnt get it, then KUBIAK ended up punting from 4th and 1 at the 40 instead of trying to win the game right there. Chicago drove it down and scored, but missed the 2. I think FOX was regretting not going for a field goal before, sigh.

But yeah coaches and commentators have always been hopeless, it has gotten a lot better in the last 5 years though, I see many coaches going for it around midfield and at the opponents 1 yard line etc. And some commentators criticizing them when they don't. But I guess generally commentators are worse than coaches.

[PhantomSac]

Very next drive GB goes for it on 4th and 1 from min 30. LOL vikings.

edit: In fairness, Vikes jumped so GB ran a free play. Def possible that they were not going for it and were gonna waste a t/o so LOL GB if so.

Except Phil Simms, he keeps getting worse.

He actually said he would go for it in a non clear spot last week, I almost had a heart attack.

The 10-0 panthers, coming off a crushing win, are underdogs* to the 3-7 COWBOYS.

ROMO for MVP.

Sounds like a good bet on the Panthers. Classic example of bettor behavior trumping realism.
