NFL Week 7 -- I Goff at your Darnold

Simple way to figure out if a coach is on the "hot seat" 1. Performance (duh) 2. Did they make the playoffs last year? 3. Contract status (how many years left). Dennis Allen is o-3. Third year of the four-year deal he signed when he started. Carr will transition to the older QB you start ahead of rookie you drafted. He's got a contract out after this season.

 

Don’t forget the intangible of laying this turd the night Sean Payton comes back to town.

 

This actually might be the first time I've really listened to him on TNF, this year for sure. He was pretty terrible.

Thought someone caught a ball when it was clearly dropped, missed the gain on one run by yards, thought another pass was just dropped when it was clearly batted away, and then whatever the defensive touchdown call was.

I thought his interview with Brees was good and his overall banter was ok, so he's not losing it. Just can't catch up on each play, which as you said, isn't great.

 

Whatever else I may think of Herbstreit, he’s been a mensch for the way he is protective of Lee Corso. But with Al Michaels on his plate too, the guy has to wonder how he became the designated hospice worker of football broadcasting.

 

Who has fallen off the cliff worse since Week 2 -- Saints or Raiders?
The Saints looked like a Super Bowl team those first two weeks. I know injuries have ravaged the roster, but sheesh.

 

Pierce won’t be there next year, but unless it gets really bad….I don’t envision an in-season mercy killing.

 

I actually think Pierce is safe. He's been given a crap sandwich. New GM. I don't think they could get someone better frankly. Everyone sees Davis is a wishy washy owner. Never seems to know what he wants. I don't know how "in" Brady is going to be with advice. They already tried the "Patriot Way" and it flopped (again).

 

This chucklefuck has always been a turd of the highest magnitude:

Ex-NFL QB Cutler faces DUI, weapons charges

 

From Reddit - another failed drive.

 

More than $125m in career earnings for a QB who only cracked 90 in passer rating for one season. Amazing.

 

And yet he's still, arguably, the best quarterback the Bears have had in the past 75 years.

 

Bob Avellini would like a word.
(Not really. I just like the reference to the Walter Payton era.)
