Yeah it was on the Raiders Hard Knocks. He had some weird illegal helmet and was told to gently caress off with that. So he painted it really badly to look like Raider colors and immediately got called out on that too :lol:

Dunno if this is even all that spicy a take: If the Chiefs win this Super Bowl, I have to imagine Andy will get more open consideration as one of the greatest coaches ever — but even if they don't, he should be in the discussion.

Without bickering about order I think Reid and Walsh are kinda the same profile. Walsh obviously has the Super Bowls so I won't argue that, but I feel like they're the big offensive innovators here.

Lombardi I guess but I don't know enough about football back then to know how much he changed things or just ran things better than other people did. Oh Joe Gibbs, counter trey was a thing. It's interesting how many of these guys I think of as defensive minds though.

He was still special teams in '99. Harbaugh didn't move to DBs until like 2007, when he asked to take a defensive role so as to improve his candidacy for head coaching roles.

If you ignore super bowls and just think of AFC or NFC championship games the list gets a bit different. Marv Levy has to be in there because three in a row ain't easy and four in a row is absolutely nuts.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
With all the various off-season write-ups we usually get, like that thorough QB ranking thread from a few years ago, it'd be cool if someone did something similar for NFL head coaches. If nothing else, as someone new to football it'd be a nice excuse to read up on some of the most interesting and perhaps underrated coaches throughout the decades.

a complete dipshit posted:

One week ago, the 49ers were preparing to face the Eagles in the NFC Championship. San Francisco’s opportunity to advance collapsed, primarily due to: (1) a decision to have a backup tight end block a premier pass rusher; and (2) that pass rusher hitting 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in the arm and injuring his elbow.

But for that moment, the 49ers may have won the game. San Francisco receiver Brandon Aiyuk wholeheartedly believes that.

“We have a talented football team,” Aiyuk recently told The SFNiners, via NBCSportsBayArea.com. “We have, hands down, the best football team in the league. Hands down. . . . I’m not going even going to argue with anyone who thinks they should argue that.”

Aiyuk also believes that the Philadelphia defense is going to be exposed in seven days by a very potent Kansas City offense.

“I don’t know fully about that defense,” Aiyuk said, via Grant Cohn of SI.com. “They talk about them being a good defense — I’m not sure. I think this Kansas City pass game will expose what we thought we were going to expose before some unfortunate circumstances. They got extremely lucky.”

They say it’s better to be lucky than good. I say lucky doesn’t last, good does.

We’ll find out in a week whether the Eagles are lucky, good, or a little bit of both. If we’re all lucky, it should be a good Super Bowl.

Far better than the game between the 49ers and Eagles, in part because San Francisco dressed only two quarterbacks — and did a less-than-good job of protecting their starter.


Aiyuk, Julian Love, Jerruh. Everyone is dying to say how much the Eagles suck

Last time I saw a SB participant get disrespected like this was when the 2017 Saints started whining they definitely would have beaten the Eagles that year

Big dump of Chargers off-season content. Main thing I found surprising was his suggestion that Keenan Allen could be a cap casualty. Dunno if they would really do it but that would sure shake up the otherwise very boring WR free agent situation.

I mean ... it's not like Brock tripped and fell and hosed up his elbow. The DL got to him and directly caused his injury. Not that they knocked him out of the game on purpose — and even if they were trying to injure him, QBs take hits like that pretty frequently and most of them don't immediately shred their UCL, so there's still some element of 'luck' involved — but Brock doesn't leave that game if the Eagles don't force him out of it by virtue of their pass rush being straight-up heinous.

Edit: Like if you want to say it's sheer dumb luck that the 49ers lost both of their QBs on plays that happen pretty often and don't result in injury, I suppose that's fair and I'm not up in arms about it or anything, but I feel like a lot of the discourse around that NFCCG has come down to "well if the 49ers just had their QB they'd have been fine" when the whole reason they didn't have their QB was the Eagles ran the gently caress over their OL because they're a very good team.

I mean yes injuries aren’t mostly up to luck. In the end it doesn’t really matter, it’s a best of one, the best team isn’t going to be the one that wins the super bowl. You take it either way
