Benne posted:I do think they make the playoffs and render this discussion moot. There's too much talent on that roster not to, and even a diminished Rodgers is better than the poo poo they were trotting out last year. It’s a pretty rough division on paper though. It might not take much bad luck to get behind

Shinji2015 posted:Yeah, Texas or London would also be my suggestions, and I wouldn't dismiss a wild card city like Toronto. Wasn't that a potential rumor for the Bills at one point before they became good again? Mexico City and Toronto are by a wide margin the biggest cites in NA without teams, but Mexico presents a lot of challenges Toronto doesn't (elevation, height, relatively much greater cultural and economic difference). Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Montreal are all also bigger than the biggest US metro without a team (unless you count Tijuana in with San Diego, who tbf should never have lost their team). Then it's St. Louis, and a big logjam of Portland/Orlando/Sacramento/San Antonio, all of which are both much smaller and fairly well established fanbases for existing teams.

Relentlessboredomm posted:But do you want Steve Wilks? I get the “sure fine, he’ll do” attitude but who do you actually want as a HC? Ok leaving aside this being an unanswerable appeal to the opinions of a nebulous “fanbase”, how often are “fans” (or posters here) actually right about which coaches are going to succeed before they’re hired? Worse than a coin flip I’d bet, so…who cares? We have completely inadequate information to judge who is going to be a good head coach. Guys like Hue Jackson and Byron Leftwich have been in recent memory hot offensive coaching candidates

syzpid posted:I can't imagine being the Commies, looking at what Binenemy has done with Howell and not promoting him when they fire Rivera. Binenemy has to 100% get a job this offseason somewhere. This feels like a week 3 take. The washington offense is bad. howell is taking an historic number of sacks and has 6tds to 6ints since week 3. they're getting 85 rush yards and less than a td a game on the ground. Sure he doesn't have much talent, but it's just not true to say he's getting impressive results out of that bad talent anymore.

Hah no I actually was just looking at it sorted backwards by accident and looking at the first 5 weeks and not the most recent 3 Anyway the commanders offense is slightly below mediocre and I don’t think that’s a super impressive result. Their talent level is also slightly below mediocre

aperion posted:The only thing I give a poo poo about right now is if Telesco is fired alongside Staley. If Spanos lets that milquetoast dipshit choose another head coach and work another draft, I'm just done with this garbage-rear end team. At this point it's blatantly clear that Telesco is at the heart of all this team's problems that can be realistically solved. He can't draft worth a poo poo, can barely do free agency adequately, and has managed to let way too much good talent walk out the door. I never forgot how Eric Weddle got treated in his last season, and over the years, Telesco proved that was the real first giant red flag about his poo poo performance right up there with Donald Butler's contract extension. if he can't draft or handle free agency where do all these good players he lets go come from?

Why do bash “dead-beat” coaches for not utilizing their first round picks but we never question if the pick has bad vibes? Or if they’re just unpleasant to be around?

Toaster Beef posted:What's tough about sacking McCarthy is the regular-season performances are so drat good that it's a full year between crushing disappointments. So you get plenty of time to see objectively very good football and think "Ah I mean, this dude's got it together, surely getting bounced in the playoffs was a fluke." Then: whomp. It's like having a family reunion every five years to remind yourself why you only have a family reunion every five years. I think the fact is he gets the performances from his rosters they’re capable of. Dallas’s talent isn’t as good as its reputation, because Dallas. The problem is there are only 4-5 coaches at most that get more out of their talent than they “should” so you’re likely to replace him with worse or no better. Ironically Green Bay replaced him with one of those 4-5 guys

Simplex posted:New owners are morons until proven otherwise, and if anything are less likely to be patient with coaches. Having a top 5 pick that you have to spend on a quarterback is not all that attractive, as it generally means that your fate is tied to the development of a 21 year old who has not played a down of NFL football. Oh and their defense is rear end, and they only have a ton of space because they cleared out almost everybody with talent. yeah barring hitting dingers on every other position group, you're basically staking your entire fate as a HC on picking the right QB in the draft, if there IS a right QB in the draft.

Is cousins to Atlanta a real possibility? I’m no great cousins booster but with the skill position talent they have, Cousins being very much in the pure pocket, risk averse mode Belichick/McDaniels prefer, and Bill running the defense, that seems like it could actually be a very good team

I don't think it would work, I don't even know if there's a way to make it happen because of the insane contract/etc, but it's fun to imagine Bill having to deal with Russ. Bill vs Russ would be really funny but he’s not at all the kind of QB they prefer. He’s not a pocket poise dude and he likes to freelance
