[Emperor Smeat]

:D Elderman TD pass

[Droford]

This is one of tge craziest games ive seen in a while

[Droford]

And there goes flaccos streak

[Triple A]

"Strongly" rooting for the Patriots for some reason... h8 the Ravens I guess...

[Droford]

No pts off the turnover at least

[Droford]

I about lost my shit right there

[Emperor Smeat]

:fu: Revis. Several dumb penalties by the Pats tonight

[Crimson]

This is seriously a great game. Hard to keep your eyes off any play

[Droford]

Nice 8 minute running the ball drive to gdt the lead. Just need to play good defense

[Droford]

This is seriously a great game. Hard to keep your eyes off any play

Its just like the mile high miracle game back and forth

[Droford]

Fumble.!

Probably over ruled

[Droford]

Plenty of time but i just hope if they can score they dont do it too fast

[Crimson]

Why was Collinsworth talking as if Pats won the game already

[Fenix122]

Terrible decision by Flacco

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Pats D

[Droford]

Ugh. Overthrew it didn't need to go deep

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>What an absolutely idiotic decision by Flacco.

Don't know if I really care about Colts/Broncos anymore. I don't see any way New England lose next week.</font>

[screech]

Fuck

[Droford]

Miracle II time?

[Droford]

1 final play

[Emperor Smeat]

Should have just fair catch that.

[Droford]

They gotta go back next year and win now

Or preferably how boout the Pats come to Baltimore for once

[#1-norm-fan]

Droford, you were wrong a lot again today/this year.

[#1-norm-fan]

They gotta go back next year and win now

Or preferably how boout the Pats come to Baltimore for once

Joe Flacco would have to actually show up during the regular season for that to happen.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Goodell wearing a boston hat should show a little more impartiality

It was a Detroit hat.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Should have just fair catch that.

Pats should have taken a safety running down and throwing the ball out of bounds out of the end zone.

[screech]

I thought the first down Edelman got was BS, as it really looked like he was out before thrusting the ball past the marker. That led to the game-winning TD.

BUT, Flacco made some silly decisions after that so whatever. Incredible game. Great season by the Ravens.

[Ruien]

Sorry the Bengals could not pull this game out Supreme :(

[Droford]

Im not sure getting beat only by 4 after leading by 14 twice is better than getting blown out like a few people predicted but anyway.

[Droford]

Oh and the Ravens had the +6.5 so at least theres that

[Ruien]

It really does not matter. The Colts and Cowboys will both be in the Super Bowl. Just means the Ravens don't have to go and lose next week but it would have been cool for Indy to have another home game.

[Droford]

Joe Flacco would have to actually show up during the regular season for that to happen.

If the Ravens can figure out a fix for the secondary and not lose so many people to the IR next year i like the Ravens chances.

[Ruien]

They also need to learn not to ignore Forsett ever. Some games they did not utilize his talents.

[screech]

Did Forsett sign a new deal? I know he wanted an extension with BAL. Didn't keep up with it beyond that (as usual).

[Droford]

Im not watching brady/manning 42 next week.. I hope the Colts win tomorrow

Not that the Colts will beat the Patriots either

[Droford]

Did Forsett sign a new deal? I know he wanted an extension with BAL. Didn't keep up with it beyond that (as usual).

No but i cant imagine they dont get something done

[Droford]

I took a teaser n this game have Panthers +16.5 under 45.5

Probably wont happen

[Droford]

Fox B team gets the call cause Aikman has to call the big Cowboy games on Fox

[#1-norm-fan]

If the Ravens can figure out a fix for the secondary and not lose so many people to the IR next year i like the Ravens chances.

Can we get a "12-4 minumum, running away with the division, it won't even be close" right now or do we have to wait until the beginning of the season?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hearing Kevin Burkhardt call this game just reminds me how much I will miss hearing him as the Mets' field reporter next year.</font> :(

[McLegend]

That was an impressive win by Supreme's Bengals tonight.

Congrats Supreme

[#1-norm-fan]

I'm bored with this game already.

[#1-norm-fan]

It seems like DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart have been together in Carolina for a REALLY long time. Teams don't usually keep both of their top two running backs nearly as long as it seems Carolina has kept them around.

[OssMan]

Why is running into the kicker a penalty, what a stupid pussy ass penalty... roughing the kicker makes sense but why does it matter if you just run into him

[Emperor Smeat]

Panthers were really lucky to get bailed out with that flag on the kicker.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Panthers tried, but 4th quarter and now 14 point lead. See ya.

[Triple A]

Hate FOX's NFL broadcasts... every game always looks really dreary... the tint seems mad green on this game...

[ClockShot]

Thanks, Flacco. Was hoping you wouldn't be that stupid and give away the game.


Sunday funday. Here's hoping Denver wins today. To which I give them a 5% chance at winning in New England. Something they cannot do.

[Innovator]

Bills are pushing Rex Ryan to the coaching main event

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sorry the Bengals could not pull this game out Supreme :(

That was an impressive win by Supreme's Bengals tonight.

Congrats Supreme

Thanks guys. We really fought hard but in the end Patriots were the better team. Disappointed the season is over, mostly because I wanted to make this gimmick last more than a day. Oh well, me and my main mans screech Broford will get ready for next year.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Should've made a sock account named Broford. He would post about the same things as Droford, but he would be as confident in himself as he was in his sports teams.

Would've been mildly great. But again, the stupid Ravens lost so it would've been over quick.

[screech]

Poor Broford :(

[Ruien]

Time for the real games! WOOOOOOOOOOO. Cowboys are a few minutes away from showing the Packers who is boss.

[Ruien]

Then after that we get Luck dominating Manning in their third (I believe third?) match up!

[road doggy dogg]

Have shied away from betting since the playoffs ended last week but have a hankering to spend money today... might make a teaser. Yes, I definitely am.

[OssMan]

go Pack Goh

[Ruien]

COWBOYS COME ROARING BACK!

[Ruien]

May be a flag infested game.

[Nark Order]

Hate when players says that kicking the shit out of a top playoff contender is a "humbling experience." No, it isn't. I don't think they know what that means.

[McLegend]

This is the worst.

[Ruien]

It is Murray time!

[OssMan]

CUZ U HAD A BAD DAY

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Anybody think the "Coach" of Romolicious looks like Michelle McCool?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Winter is coming in space for your Family Guy. Shut up Meg.-That movie just advertised.

[OssMan]

ay

ay

ah took free steps

[Fenix122]

WOOOOOOOOO! NFC Championship!!! GO PACK GO!!!!

[OssMan]

Slickytrickdamon how do you feel about Tony Romo's pass to Dez Bryant being ruled "incomplete"?

[DrA]

Absolute bullshit.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Slickytrickdamon how do you feel about Tony Romo's pass to Dez Bryant being ruled "incomplete"?

Could have gone either way. He seemed to have a few steps and could have been considered a football move.

They made the right call I think though.

[OssMan]

Mad ambiguous rule due to the inclusion of the term "football move"... dum

[#1-norm-fan]

It's that retarded Calvin Johnson rule. How that rule is still around in 2015, I don't know.

[OssMan]

I did a hockey move

[McLegend]

Lol awesome

[Droford]

The refs giveth the refs taketh

[#1-norm-fan]

Shut it, Eagles fan.

[McLegend]

Lol

[#1-norm-fan]

I did a hockey move

According to NFL rules, making a hockey move is a catch, too. If only Dez knew.

[Simple Fan]

Absolute bullshit.

This

[Evil Vito]

Love this. Don't really give a fuck about who wins between Green Bay or Seattle but I was dreading the possibility of a Pats/Cowboys Super Bowl.

Obviously I hate Dallas but gotta give credit where it's due. Hell of a year from them. They're in a shit cap situation but with that O-line they'll be a tough team to take down.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Lets go Colts.

[owenbrown]

I'm a Titans fan who picked Green Bay in the TPWW Pick Them league, but I thought the Cowboys got robbed. That was a bullshit call.

[#1-norm-fan]

Realistically I figured Green Bay would win the game just because the defense has overachieved all year and Rodgers expose them all day. For it to end like that is just ridiculous though.

[Crimson]

That's a catch ,bottom line. Rule needs to change. Great season though, hopefully we can plug some holes on defense.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The rule is not going to change. It's not a bad rule. You have to maintain ball possession. They've put it up for review a couple of times and it never goes anywhere.

[OssMan]

The rule would change if that game was in Dallas

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

maybe if it was Aikman's cowboys in the 1990s

[#1-norm-fan]

No, it's an awful rule. It's always been an awful rule. Mike Pereira, while discussing why it was the right call after the game even acknowledged it's a bad rule. If the guy catches the football, gets his feet down and "makes a football move", the question of whether it's a catch or not should be over. If he loses the ball after that should be a fumble. It shouldn't retroactively take the catch away. It's retarded.

[#1-norm-fan]

Then again, Mike Pereira also said "He had control but not possession" so I'm not sure he's not just trying to fuck with us.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

AKA no football move.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[#1-norm-fan]

The football move wasn't a factor. He said "forget the steps" when it was brought up that Dez had control of the football and was taking steps. The problem was when he went to the ground and the ball came out. Which is fucking retarded. You shouldn't "forget the steps". Like I said, once a receiver has possession, it shouldn't be able to be retroactively taken away.

[Nark Order]

Naw. Horrible rule. Hate the Cowboys but all logic says that it's a catch. Have always hated that rule.

[road doggy dogg]

I have so many feelings about this

[#1-norm-fan]

It makes it worse that earlier in the game, this...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B7GTLZwCMAA_Uog.jpg

was reviewed and called a catch.

I'd like to hear the rule that made that one good.

[road doggy dogg]

Well as a Lions fan I'm SO glad to see the Cowboys season end pretty much the same way ours did. Suck it, Cowboys. Also, the "completing the process", yeah we're pretty familiar with that.


On the other hand, I can't enjoy watching a product that is so heavily influenced by horrible officiating. It makes the product as a whole less credible and garbage

[Emperor Smeat]

Would bet that rule gets dropped or overhauled before next season since the NFL pays attention more when stuff like that happens in the playoffs or to big market/name teams. Tuck rule was the same issue for years before the NFL finally dropped it.


Apparently the ref who called the Dez Bryant no catch was the same ref for the original Calvin Johnson rule game.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Ref in Calvin Johnson game: Steratore.

[ClockShot]

Peyton better sharpen up in the 2nd half. First series was great, it all went downhill after that. Need to stick with the short to medium passes.

Side note. C.J. Anderson is a monster. Wondering if Montee Ball's job is in jeopardy with his performance these last few weeks.

[Ruien]

Bullshit. Was suppose to be the Cowboys and Colts time. Luck better shut Denver down tonight.

[Ruien]

I will be shocked if Ball is the starter next year.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Finally somebody pushes somebody out.

[McLegend]

This Andrew Luck guy is pretty good.

[Droford]

One and Done Manning strikes again

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

One and Done Manning strikes again

Not so fast.

[Droford]

He has 69 yards passing 1/2 through the 3rd quarter

Also Colts ball

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wow.

[Emperor Smeat]

Just like yesterday:

Should have just fair catch that.


Colts were lucky their potential blunder was overturned.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That blocker was like a mile ahead of the runner.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Just like yesterday:




Colts were lucky their potential blunder was overturned.

Cribbs doesn't like calling Fair Catches I guess. Still wouldn't matter he was pushed into him by the defender. Not a penalty anyways even with the FC.

[Droford]

Mannings gonna have a farewell tour next year but his arm had its farewell already.

[Droford]

CJ Anderson : Peyton Manning Terrel Davis : John Elway

[#1-norm-fan]

Droford, you really should stop talking. This has not been your year for saying things that won't get quoted and used to mock you with later.

[Droford]

Colts are morons passing all downs up 8 in the 4th

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Harder to drive down the field with runs. They got what they wanted with the 3 points and the time off the clock.

[Droford]

Harder to drive down the field with runs. They got what they wanted with the 3 points and the time off the clock.

I was refering to the drive before right after the brocos got their fg when they had 3 incomplete passes and took no time off the clock

CJ anderson almost bails out Manning on 4th down and thats the ballgame

Another one and done

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Spot Challenge. I thought he had it originally.

[Nark Order]

Another famous Peyton Manning playoff choke.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Broncos choke. Not all on the QB.

[Droford]

Mannings secretly looking at the script for his next Papa Johns commercial

[Crimson]

Can't see how its not Pats/Hawks in the Bowl.

[Droford]

Packers/Patriots

[Nark Order]

I strongly dislike The Seahawks. I need Aaron Rodgers to do me a favor.

[ClockShot]

Broncos choke. Not all on the QB.

Mostly on Peyton. Secondary (yet again) gave up way too many big yard passes.

Luck & Co. should have better odds against the Pats.

[screech]

I'm with you

[OssMan]

everyone gonna shit on Peyton Manning for being "one and done" again even though he won a superbowl

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Thanks Colts. You are the 1997 version of Jags.

[Requiem]

Wow people don't waste time jumping on the 'blame Manning' bandwagon, while totally ignoring that the Colts defense played some spectacular football today.

[Droford]

everyone gonna shit on Peyton Manning for being "one and done" again even though he won a superbowl

Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl and hes never one and doned in the playoffs.
In fact he still has 1 fewer playoff win in 7 years (10) than Manning in his 15 years and the same number of rings.

[Requiem]

Fuck it, O-line was spectacular too. Protected Luck for the first time all season.

[Corndad]

Hoping now for a Green Bay/Indy Super Bowl now just for something different but I'm sure seeds will hold form next week and we get Seattle/Pats

[Corndad]

Would be crazy if Manning's last game is a loss to Luck and the Colts.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wow people don't waste time jumping on the 'blame Manning' bandwagon, while totally ignoring that the Colts defense played some spectacular football today.
Offensive line as well since they did a great job protecting Luck. No sacks allowed and gave him plenty of time for several big plays.

[#1-norm-fan]

Joe Flacco won a Super Bowl and hes never one and doned in the playoffs.
In fact he still has 1 fewer playoff win in 7 years (10) than Manning in his 15 years and the same number of rings.

Flacco's also kinda shit in the regular season and a big reason his team missed the playoffs last year and needed help from another team to get in this year.

When was the last time Peyton didn't make the playoffs or even needed someone to lose to get in? Even with some of those teams not being terribly talented especially on the defensive side of the ball?

[#1-norm-fan]

everyone gonna shit on Peyton Manning for being "one and done" again even though he won a superbowl

He's also won a few AFC Championship games, which are pretty big too. It's basically what people do when they've decided they wanna hate a QB and they'll stop at nothing to convince themselves he's garbage. The fact that Peyton HAS won big games though, makes it even more silly.

[road doggy dogg]

Just dropped a "hefty sum" on a teaser bet for next week... Packers +16.5 and Colts +14

Hope I don't punch myself in the ballsaq` for that

[Evil Vito]

I always thought that Peyton would finish the last 2 years of his contract. But something clearly happened to him late in the year. And now Gase and possibly Fox leaving. I don't see him going through a new coach and coordinator just to play one more year.

Really shit way to go out if that was it.

[Nark Order]

He isn't garbage. He's the best regular season quarterback ever. He is somewhat inconsistent in high stakes games, is all.

[Emperor Smeat]

Peyton's problem is having way too many "one and done's" and having the bulk being at home. He has a couple of big game wins but too few for someone of his status in the GOAT talk.

9 "one and done" losses (next closest is 4) and 6 playoff home losses (next closet is 3).

That and he's like a Bizzaro Flacco when it comes to playoff records. Flacco has a lot of road playoff wins while Peyton has a lot of home playoff losses.

[#1-norm-fan]

It just seems funny to me that it's such a knock on him by his haters. If he doesn't make the playoffs at all those 9 years, or even half of them, I don't think he gets the same flack. Despite it being a much worse thing to do. It doesn't make sense.

Like I said, I'll take the guy who HAS shown he can win big games but also loses a lot because he's so fucking good in the regular season that he has a shitload of opportunities over the guy who has won a higher percentage of playoff games but struggles to make the playoffs in order to play the big games to begin with. And also struggles to get a bye when he does get there while the other usually gets to skip the wild card round. And again, that's not even factoring in that the second guy who struggles in the regular season has had much better teams surrounding him than the other one did for most of those one and dones.

[Ruien]

COLTS!

[RP]

NEW ENGLAND!

YOU'RE NEXT!

[RP]

If Flacco wasn't such a choke artist last night, this would be a home game.

[Ruien]

Ya, Colts really should have kept that Manning guy instead of drafting ANDREW MOTHERFUCKING LUCK BABY!.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

NEW ENGLAND!

YOU'RE NEXT!

He has his shortcomings. He just does. Pointing them out doesn't make one a hater. Really all of his flaws are only relevant in a "best of all time" conversation anyhow. He's one of the best QBs ever but in the "who is the greatest ever?" discussion, things like playoff wins and SB wins matter.

[#1-norm-fan]

I agree. To an extent at least. You still have to factor in the teams surrounding him. Dan Marino belongs in that conversation regardless of his lack of rings. But when someone tries to argue someone who isn't remotely in the ballpark of a Peyton Manning as far as just playing the QB position like a fucking beast simply because they have as many or more rings or playoff wins, it's a joke. There are guys who make teams a contender on a yearly basis and there are guys who piggyback, and even then, fail at times.

The 2011 Colts season alone and how it compares to the previous 10 years should be enough to tell you Peyton Manning is a fucking God who belongs in a discussion only with the greatest QBs of all time.

Went Full Heel Heisenberg hosting a bunch of Cowboys fans at my house yesterday, even though the Remorseful Heisenberg inside thought that Dez caught the ball. Even in my darkest moments I had some regret about crotch chopping my friends

I'm a fan of the Packers but Dez Bryant did catch that ball.

[Droford]

Rex Ryan goes to Buffalo

[road doggy dogg]

I love the move. Just wish he got Trestman as his OC like he wanted. Ryan is my favourite coach in the NFL, I think. May have to check out a Bills game next season.

[Innovator]

REPORT AND SOURCES are saying Peyton has had a torn right quad for a month

[McLegend]

He's no Kurt Angle.

Why not hire Peyton has your OC if your Elway. I think that makes sense. I don't see Peyton being an analyst on TV.

[road doggy dogg]

Maybe Peyton will take a cushy TV job if he retires for a year just to rest his weary bones (lol 39 being "old") and then return to the sidelines at some point. I can't see him not coaching in some capacity ever, but no idea if that's what he wants right away

No one really wants that job if Manning isnt the QB. They arent winning squat with Osweiler

With or without Manning they have a awesome team. You place a average QB there and they will still win their division.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

[Droford]

They dont even know what they have in Osweiler. Funny thing is hes a free agent after next season as well.
2016 (http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/2016/quarterback/) will be a better year for free agent QBs anyway.

[Droford]

Only because the division sucks.

Yeah the AFC west totally sucks. Only one other division had 3 teams finish above. 500

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How well did they do in non-divisional play?

[RP]

I was in the camp of " Manning isn't done" , but now that Fox its bailing, I don't know.

I told all my friends this last week that the Colts had a serious shot because Peyton was hurt and the only reason I knew he was hurt was because he missed two practices. Peyton wouldn't miss a practice for nothing. This guy held a press conference denouncing the decision to cut training camp practices a few years ago. The moment I heard Peyton missed two practices, I knew he was legit hurt. Any real Colt fan could of told you that.

[Droford]

I dont see how Manning would come back for another season having to both rehab the torn quad and learn everything new under a new coaching staff. The only reason would be for a farewell tour but i think Manning is one of the few that wouldn't have a problem going out without the hoopla.

Maybe Denver goes after Eli Manning in 2016 free agency.

I seriously love the Ryan signing for the Bills. He's a great coach, and you know he'll bring the Bills to play for those AFC East matchups

[#1-norm-fan]

How well did they do in non-divisional play?

lol what...

[ClockShot]

Only logical thing to do is to promote Adam Gase or Jack Del Rio to head coach. That would mean no major changes on either side of the ball. However, with Adam Gase getting some interviews, we may very well be looking for another Offensive Coordinator for the 2nd year in a row.

As far as Manning and the QB issue is concerned, unless the front office got a lot of faith in BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK OS-WEILER, we may very well grab another QB down the road in the draft. Problem with that is, there ain't a lot of lookers in this year's class after Winston and (if he declares) Mariota.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Adam Gase strikes me as someone who is going to bust as a head coach. Probably because it doesn't exactly take an Einstein to be the offensive coordinator on a Peyton Manning-led team.</font>

[Clerk]

Mariota is awful lolololol O-H-I-O Buckeyes bitch. Jameis Winston is better than Mariota and Cardale Jones is better then both of them. Urban Meyer is the best college football coach. Buckeyes are biblical.

Fangio wants the 9ers job or Shanahan as HC. 9ers are looking to Gase. I hope they come to a decision soon so I can cry. Still. Fuck them for getting rid of Harbaugh. One of the dumbest GM decisions I have ever seen.

The worst part is that they knew all season that he wasn't coming back and had absolutely no clue who to replace him with.

The more I watch that Dez play the more it completely baffles me how that wasn't a catch. Like seriously, I even wanted Dallas to lose IN THIS EXACT SCENARIO BECAUSE LULZ SALTY DETROIT FAN and it infuriates me that that was not a catch.

[road doggy dogg]

takes like 3 steps after catching it, ridiculous

[Nark Order]

The rule is fucking ridiuclous. I would rather punch myself in the dick than see The Cowboys in the Superbowl but that was insane to me. The Cowboys should have won that game to me.

[Innovator]

Jason Garrett is about to get a 5 year deal to stay with the Cowboys

[Emperor Smeat]

5 years, around $30 million. If he lasts for the whole deal, becomes 2nd longest tenured coach in Cowboys history.

[#1-norm-fan]

I was as critical of Garrett as anyone and wanted him gone last year but taking play calling duties away from him seemed to do wonders. Suddenly they were coming in looking prepared week in, week out which was the biggest issue before. I'd like to see that kind of discipline continue through another year though to make sure it's not a mirage.

Hopefully Marinelli comes back, too. What he did with such an under-talented, insanely injury-riddled defense to at least make them average and come through in big moments when the offense needed it was amazing. If Sean Lee can actually make it through the season and they can get a little more talent on that side of the ball, they can be great.

[Droford]

Ravens coaches vs Cowboys coaches in pro bowl so you know who will win

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

No one.

How much money will you be betting on the pro bowl, Droford?

Jets hired Todd Bowles as their new head coach and Mike Maccagnan as their new GM.

Bowles was the former defense coordinator for the Cards and Maccagnan was the former college scout director for the Texans.

[Triple A]

Bowles was the former defense coordinator for the Cards and Maccagnan was the former college scout director for the Texans.

Wish they got Dan Quinn, seemed way more interesting as a "character"/personality for Jets coach... they are saying he was their #1 choice but they didn't want to wait until possibly February and have their backup choices be hired away by then... but every1 is saying Bowles is "good" also so w/e I guess... seems boring though

I don't think they talked about it on the podcast, I'm pretty sure it was in last week's mailbag

Q: Hey Bill, I knew you were a HUGE Gronkowski fan. I just never pegged you as the type of guy to ghost-write erotica about him. (https://sports.vice.com/article/rob-gronkowski-erotica-review-lacey-noonan)

BS: Congrats to Ross for being the 3,000th reader to send me some variation of this joke. Is it weird that “A Gronking To Remember” gave me more confidence that the Patriots could make the Super Bowl? Can’t you see Lacey Noonan at media day trying to get a one-on-one with Gronk as three middle-aged reporters in Hawaiian shirts look on awkwardly?

[Innovator]

Oh it was on Fighter and the Kid, thinking back on it

[ClockShot]

Jack Del Rio wins the head coaching job at Oakland. Typical dumb Oakland move.

Del Rio's gone. One less name to consider for the Denver job.

Dick LeBeau resigned from Pittsburgh. I would love it if Elway could somehow get him to come over. Give the Defense an immediate kick in the ass.

[Emperor Smeat]

49ers hired Jim Tomsula as their new head coach. Was promoted from his defensive lines coach job.


Colts Josh McNary currently facing criminal rape charges.
Prosecutors have filed charges of rape, criminal confinement with bodily injury and battery resulting in bodily injury against Indianapolis Colts backup linebacker Josh McNary.

Peg McLeish, a spokeswoman in the city prosecutor's office, confirmed Wednesday that the charges were filed.

According to the probable cause affidavit, two Indianapolis police officers said a 29-year-old woman accused an unknown man they later determined to be McNary of attacking her in the early morning hours of Dec. 1. Police, according to the report, determined the man was McNary after investigating a cellphone the woman claimed she took from the man's apartment.

In the report, police said the woman also picked McNary's image out of a group of photos.

The police also wrote that when they arrived at McNary's apartment to investigate, McNary said: "I know why you're here." The report said McNary claimed to have preserved evidence because he expected the police would be coming.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hope this isn't like 2007, where Moss was put up with bullshit charges the week before the Superbowl.

Luck will find a way this week. The Colts are going to the Superbowl.

[Droford]

John Fox in Chicago

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hope everything coaching wise gets settled soon. The only story after Sunday in the NFL should be the Super Bowl. They should have a no moves until the Super Bowl is over. Distracting playoff bound coordinators with interviews negatively effects the teams they are still working for.

[#1-norm-fan]

Can a coach interview while he's still working for a team who is alive in the playoffs? I thought teams had to wait until a coaches season was over.

[Ruien]

They can get permission technically. Rarely happens.

[road doggy dogg]

I always thought that was strange, how coaches on teams can actively pursue other gigs. It's their prerogative, sure, to try and get a better job, but to me as a player I would think, "This coach already has his foot out the door, why should I listen to anything he says?" or whatever. I don't know. Paid professionals I guess

[screech]

I feel like announcers have talked about a v different coordinator interviewing for a coach job in every playoff game so far. Seems odd that teams would allow that. I'd rather have the staff focusing on the games.

[Evil Vito]

Welcome back Spags

<font color=goldenrod>All of the numbers would indicate that this is not a good hire and that they'd have been better served rolling the dice on Pepper Johnson or something. He's done basically nothing since leaving the Giants and they don't have anywhere close to the same personnel they did when he was here.

But I'm so pumped from a nostalgia standpoint that I love the move.</font>

[Innovator]

Yeah but still

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Can a coach interview while he's still working for a team who is alive in the playoffs? I thought teams had to wait until a coaches season was over.

That's why they should ban all interviews. It gives non-playoff coaches an advantage because they have free time because they didn't get into the playoffs.

[poopfromweiner dude]

What a weird perspective

[McLegend]

Believe it or not, and I do not believe it.

STD is 100% right in this regard. All coaching interview should take place after the Super Bowl. I think it's an unfair distraction for playoff teams.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, it's pretty dumb for all the reasons stated.

[ClockShot]

I don't want Gary Kubiak as a coach. Hope someone else comes along.

[screech]

I'm with you. I want Kubiak to stay in Baltimore

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I'm with you. I want Kubiak to stay in Baltimore

What do you think of the rule change I put out?

[Droford]

I never imagined Kubiak staying in Baltimore more than two years given the head coaching volatility in the nfl and his experience so if he leaves whatever i guess.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I think he could have. He almost had a stroke during a game with the Texans. Less stress being number two.

[screech]

What do you think of the rule change I put out?

I agree with you. Coaches in the playoffs still have work to do and should focus on that.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Adam Gase officially interviewed for the Broncos job. Sounds like the interview went very well, enough so that Teryl Austin has pulled his name from consideration when he was going to interview today I believe. This complicates things for Denver as they can't hire Gase until they fulfill the Rooney Rule requirements, so they are now reaching out to Bengals secondary coach Vance Joseph in what could wind up being little more than a token interview.

I get why the Rooney Rule was put into place but stuff like this just makes it seem like a joke especially if it winds up essentially boiling down to an internal promotion.</font>

[Clerk]

I don't want Gary Kubiak as a coach. Hope someone else comes along.

Won't matter who the coach is. Broncos will still blow

Pagano with the classic Belicheat move of listing Vontae and Greg Toler as questionable. I'm pretty sure those guys are playing.

They should do the same thing the Pats did to Baltimore last week.

Bill Belichick's move is to list people as Probable. Which cannot be denied. Everybody is Probable.

Amendola's? That was clear he stretched out and got well over the line. Not sure which one you are talking about. You can Harbaugh can read over the rule book and learn to listen the refs announcements.

[screech]

Yes, Amendola's. He stepped out short of the marker, the camera even zoomed in on it.

[screech]

Not a huge deal now since the secondary was mostly awful all night (and it's, you know, over), but another sign of dreadful officiating this year.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Before he stretched out the ball? It's where the ball is not the feet.

Xavier Nixon misses flight and is out for the game.

[RP]

I might be setting myself up for disappointment here, but I really think the Colts are going to win tomorrow. I don't think the Pats are going to run all over us. Arthur Jones has been playing so good. Vontae has been the best CB in the league this year. He.should of been All Pro over Revis. I know Gronk it's going to be Gronk, but something special is happening with the Colts. I feel like Luck is about to beat Peyton, Brady and Rodgers.

After tonight. Colts v Packers in Superbowl.

[RP]

Bill Belichick's move is to list people as Probable. Which cannot be denied. Everybody is Probable.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading a story about Brady being listed as questionable every game.
