Bye Wink, the Giants actually had a decent pass rush these last few years so thanks for that!

Even if Smith had found a QB who's to say he would even play him over galaxy braining up plays for Ridder?

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

I mean, it's true that the Falcons' QB strategy was basically

1. Get Deshaun Watson
2. Panic if you can't get Deshaun Watson

But that's at least as much a front office issue as a Smith issue.

It's Sic Semper Tyrannis. You said, "Ever faithful terrible lizard."
I mean as stupid as Smith was when it came to utilizing his best players Ridder single handedly lost them like 3 games this year. That alone puts them into the playoffs as a division winner if they have even like Brisset.


Where they really hosed up was not going hard after anyone else after loving up the Watson sweepstakes and then not getting a good real backup after last year. Brissett would've worked, same with Baker or Andy. In general that GM seems solid at drafting and terrible at trades bc they also got outbid on Montez Sweat this year too

I just have to squint at Rapaport saying the problem was that Smith was patient with Ridder and nobody wants patience, not his baffling player utilization.

When that went down, I wasn't mad at the Falcons for doing it, I was mad at the Saints for letting it happen.

Besides all that went down was a meaningless touchdown at the end of a meaningless game. All of the handwringing is about respectfulness or what could have happened or what could happen in the future. Nobody got hurt, and nobody was trying to hurt anyone else. Too many of y'all have internalized the NFL's No Fun League culture. The league isn't your friend.

The amount of hand wringing over a team scoring garbage time TDs to pile on the score is hilarious, similar to that of baseball fans upset when people hit dingers off position players pitching. The answer is simple to both:

1. Don't allow the other team to get to that position anyway
2. If they do, prevent it by any means necessary! If you can't, that's on you

I'm less concerned about respectfulness and decorum than I am about a guy getting bowled over and getting his leg trapped or something on the last play of the season because he thought the game was over when the other team was using the universally accepted language for "the game is over".

It would've been better if they had just run a real play to get Williams his TD but, Allen is a putz.

Yeah, it's running that play from the victory formation that sucks. Just line up the regular way.

Like remember how everyone hated Schiano for having his guys go at linemen's legs on victory formation plays. Well now that's back on the menu.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

How often are coaches ever fired immediately after making the playoffs?

The posterchild for this is Steve Mariucci, which led to some pretty dark years for the Niners.

Lmao no its not. If you're worried about someone doing a regular play from a v formation, then play normally. Trying to intentionally injure someone is nowhere near comparable to running a play out of kneel formation.

Also Marty Schottenheimer with the Chargers.

There have also been a handful of guys who got fired after disappointing playoff losses or not being able to go as far as expected, like Tony Dungy in Tampa or John Fox in Denver.

If the defense isn’t prepared for a play to be run then why are they lined up in a goal line formation?

Nobody on the Falcons seemed especially taken by surprise on the play.

So what are the rules around interviews for coaches currently employed by other teams? It'd be nice if these crap franchises didn't distract Baltimore's coaches with the most important interview of their lives while I need them to be working.

Virtual interviews can happen now, in person interviews depends on when the Ravens season ends.
