He's a coordinator and could get a chance to be a head coach. I don't know what world you live in, but most people don't pass up promotions...Quote:

Your offense is amazing because of Julio, Shanahan the RBs and it's possible they can take you guys further than the last couple playoff appearances, but that defense is not ideal for playoff football, and I'd be somewhat shocked if they get past their first opponent, be it the Packers, Seahawks or Giants [[all are tough on D with offenses that will give your D trouble). And Matty Choke is a concern in the playoffs. Should be very interesting though.
These playoffs are going to be terrible in my opinion. I hope not but it just looks that way to me.
AFC has been handed to the Pats on a platter with other team's injuries. Steelers are fine but not a contender in my mind. Pretty much just Ben, Brown and Bell and they're not enough to make a playoff run. Chiefs are well rounded and could pose a threat but don't really excel anywhere. Raiders and Dolphins and Texans don't stand a chance with their QB situations, due to injuries [[outside of Houston). Patriots D is pitiful so it's possible they drop to one of these poor teams but I don't anticipate it, unfortunately.
NFC is a little more competitive but not much. Dallas' D has overperformed all year and that may not be the same in the playoffs. And better hope Dak Prescott the football player, not Dak Prescott the rookie, shows up, especially against tougher defenses. Run game is dominant though and that could propel them to the SB. Falcons I touched on up there. Seahawks are not going to be able to compete this year. Defense isn't what it used to be, without Earl Thomas, and offensive line is almost as bad as the Panthers' in 2014 and Vikings' this year. No run game and pass game is hot or cold there. May beat the Lions and even Falcons since they're lined up to play those two if they win the first, but highly doubt they get past Cowboys/Packers/Giants if they meet. Giants and Packers could both be a threat especially with Rodgers playing like the MVP and the Giants' D coming on strong and having already beaten the Cowboys twice. Packers D is tough and overachieving as well but is definitely suspect. Biggest asset is their rush defense in a theoretical matchup against Elliott and that dominant o-line in Dallas. Lions are the Lions and don't stand a chance. Would have rather seen the Skins make it.
All in all I'm anticipating Patriots vs Cowboys, Giants or Packers, most likely Cowboys. I'd love to see the Chiefs make it or the Lions but will mainly just be rooting against the Patsies, Seaturkeys, and Failcons. Hope all 3 are out 2 weeks from now so I will be able to watch the rest of the games in peace. Good luck to fans here of playoff teams aside from the 3 I mentioned.
What did i tell you ms m about those no defense playing, choking quarterback,no coaching,no game plan having can't find a wide open reciever no imagination having, no safties,nontackling weak...how can your so called professional team not be ready to play a big game at home against a team that was trying to give em the game,i'm on my fifth batch of hooch and i still ain't drunk cause i'm too angry i mean what the @@#$!!!%%^$#[[[[[[*&&^%$$???[[[[*&^&&&%$##@!!!!@!!#$??? ?????? Is wrong with this team...why-why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
LOL. Glad to have you back in the conversation, T. Too bad you haven't watched our defense play three quarters of good football followed by a quarter of prevent defense while punching out bad teams like yours for the past four weeks. We have three candidates for the All Rookie defensive team and the league's sack leader, so with playmakers, we have a chance. It's also too bad that Scam Pew-ton folds up like Ronda Rousey when teams punch him in the mouth. If he had more heart, he'd possibly be where Matty Choke is right now.Quote:

If it's sorry, is it because your boys reverted to form, following a good season with a losing record again? That's your perspective and you are entitled to it. For the record, I posted minimal smack prior to our contest and I never denigrate teams that we beat. Rather than come back and trash the playoffs because you don't have a team in it, you could have taken the high road. I've learned to do it and I'm fine. Sulking is what Scam does well but it is not something to emulate.
By the way: Congrats on the win today. Your boys caught as many bad breaks in 2016 as good ones in 2015. I expect you to be back to form following a smart draft and an off season of figuring out what to fix. The NFC South didn't have a repeat champ until your team did it, so I expect next year to be a battle again. In all sincerity, I wish them well [[but not as well as us!).
I've watched the Falcons quite a bit and I don't base my opinions on their D based on games against our sh*t offense, the Rams sh*t offense or the Niners sh*t offense. The group certainly has some good players but collectively it is very low in the league, especially for a playoff team. The offense has clearly made up for that to some degree but I do believe the old saying is true... Defense wins championships. I like Trufant, he's a very good player. Your sack leader Beasley has certainly shown a lot of flash but he's far from a dominant player because of one stat category. I've watched him play and would love to have him on my team but he still has a lot of flaws. His run defense is particularly poor and also he's not consistent in getting to the QB. He has the highest percentage of pressure that results in sacks. And that can be looked at as a good thing but it also means, when he's not getting the flash stat of sacks, he's not getting a lot of pressure. He's definitely a playmaker and can make a game changing play but you better hope that that side of him shows up in these games that count. Both games against the Panthers he got beat by our 3rd OT in our already bad OT group.Quote:

But that's how it turned out and you guys did better than the rest of the conference except the Cowboys and deserved the bye. And I'm not really posting smack. I don't like the Falcons as I don't like any division rival, but I don't let that get in the way of my observations and the opinions I'm posting here. If I turn out to be wrong about these playoff teams than so be it. Regarding my not liking this year's playoffs, it's got nothing to do with the Panthers. Of course I want us in it but they aren't and that's just reality. But the reality is also that the AFC playoffs will be poor compared to other years because of QB injuries, and that the NFC across the board is pretty weak compared to what the conferences usually are. When you've got an 11-5 team getting a bye, regardless of who it is, that signifies a pretty weak conference compared to what it usually is.
Thank you, but the only win today for me was that I didn't have to sit through a meaningless overtime... [[we lost to the Bucs in case you didn't know) We shall see what happens next year but it's really too early for me to think about any of that or discuss it here. I'll pop in here for the playoffs every once in a while. Maybe you guys can surprise me and if you do I'll be here to congratulate you.
I was pulling for you arr&bee, especially in the 2nd half but alas...it wasn't meant to be. I must confess though, hopefully Cousins will NEVER, EVER say [[again), "How ya like me now?" LOLQuote:

If you need somebody to root for, lock yourself in a room, put on some red and black sneakers, stand in front of a full length mirror and do the Dirty Bird while saying "Rise Up" three times. The answer will reveal itself.
Peace, friend. It's still fun, even in off years. If it wasn't fun, it would be baseball.

thomas96, I'm sure you have your reasons for not being around in the last few weeks, just like a 37 year old coordinator would have his reasons for not taking a coaching position, at this time.
Until today, I didn't know [[or frankly care) who Kyle Shanahan was. Now that I know his father was a two time SB winner, I can see him wanting to go to Denver because sons will often follow in their father's footsteps.
However, people turn down promotions every day. Sometimes to gain more experience, sometimes because they really like their current position, or don't want to relocate [[and yes even offensive coaches may feel that way, especially young ones).
I live in a word where people don't always do what we expect them to do, a world where, just because you would jump on a promotion doesn't mean the next person will do the same.
I live in a world where a man like Trump can become President of the United States, a world where reality dictates, always expect the unexpected.
Oh, and I also live in a world where I succinctly stated, money talks and BS walks, a world where I'm sure you read that but had your reasons for ignoring it.
Happy New Year to you!
Yeah, that's the phrase and oh dear.....hahahahahahaQuote:

BTW: Will Moe hate me when the Fins bounce the Squealers out of the playoffs next week, exposing Mike Tomlin to be the cheerleader that he is?

You really need to find a video because it was neat to watch the fans passing it along. I guess it would be like doing the wave but with a huge flag. LOL
Oh snap, you did Not just jump on the Terry Bradshaw wagon.Quote:

I don't like Pittsburgh [[Dad is a Clowns fan), but Mike Tomlin is definitely my dude. He almost got passed over for that job, which would have been a huge mistake. Terry Bradshaw can STFU.
I don't dislike the Steelers unless we're playing them. Can't stand their throw back bumble bee uniforms though. LOLQuote:

Tomlin's record speaks for it self and as a woman football fan, lawd the man is FOINE!!!!!!!!!!:cool:
The bumble bees/jailbird uniforms have been permanently put to pasture. Not supposed to see them again.........ever........
Mike Tomlin is a class act. Who knows what was going through Bradshaw's mind when he said that but Mikey's response was pure class all the way.......and who cares? The proof is in the winning!!
No Jerry, I don't hate you. Everyone has the right to their opinion. As I said before: if the Steelers don't play to their potential then it's on them, & I'll be the first to point my finger at them. You just worry about that team from Dallas beating your Falcons......
As Mikey said: this will be the first time our players are reasonably healthy: Brown, Bell, Ben, and Pouncey.
And yes, Ms M; Mikey's smile is enough to light the city of Pittsburgh;)
I saw Omar Epps on "First Take" a few weeks ago and the first thought in my mind was "why is Mike Tomlin on 'First Take'?". LOL.
And I can't speak to his fine-ness, ladies. I mean, he ain't no Halle Berry. [[Jerry makes sure his Man Card stays current...)
those sorry no good mutha...JAI WAKE UP YOU'RE ON LINE..OH HI GANG SORRY BOUT THAT,I'M STILL HAVING FLASHBACKS TO THAT MELTDOWN AT FEDEX!!!SIGH!!!
Funny you brought up Omar Epps because the resemblance is uncanny but Tomlin has dimples and Eppss does not. I realize a MAN wouldn't notice but trust, I do. LOLQuote:

This too shall pass. It will be ok and there's always next year. Cousins is corny but he's not a bad QB. Heck of a lot better than McCoy, who started out well but fizzled rather quickly imo Is he still backup?Quote:

Liked what I saw, just didn't see enough. I will say this, for a man playing behind a 3rd string O, he looked rather comfortable. Or he was too psyched to think about it. LOL
...and although he was protected, just barely [[imo) which is why I think he was snatched out so quickly!
Dallas game was not on here yesterday, Ms M
I didn't watch,but i think that romo is gone..he thinks he can stay healthy!
I expect Romo to play well when he comes in the game. But I didn't see his highlights from yesterday [[watching the Fins lay an egg against the Pats).
For the amount of time he was in, he did a good job and was responsible for our only touchdown. What I'm wondering, was he out there long enough for someone like Denver or Houston to be interested. They seem to be the only two teams that could be possible contenders in 2017 and in need of a QB. [[ We play Denver next year so that would be ratings gold) I would think his age would prevent him from going with a team who is trying to build something.Quote:

He doesn't need to prove anything. They might want to see some durability but he's a stud. His problem is that he's going to be 36 years old and playing a young man's game. What compensation do you offer for a guy who has possibly two top level seasons remaining?
I guess that was what I was trying to say. How do you prove in three or four snaps you can handle the gig, considering all the injuries.
Sanchez has to go, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Although there are some that think Moore is a little better, I'm not sold on the guy. Cap aside, WE NEED BACKUP!
I want sanchez to stay with the boyz[hehehehe]he's gonna take ya'll well.umm..err.umm..well he'll take ya'll, keep him..hehehehehehehehe!!!!!
Take us on a ride to nowhere.!!!!!!
I'm guessing he needs to figure out a new career. A tad over a minute in the game and he throws the FIRST of two interceptions! scre$%#@%$#^%$^%$^$ !!!
He sucks eggs and then some!!!!!!
Of course with our no-d playin behinds sanchez would look like tom brady,so maybe i'd better stop laughing...sigh!!!!
PLEASE!
Sanchez couldn't shine RG3'S shoes [[and I don't like the brother) much less Brady Bunch.
Talk is, Sanchez is history in the NFL and that's a rumor I pray is correct...unless the Skins get 'em....hahahahahahahahahahaha
Hey don't say that...daniel snyder reads this post!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I feel ya. I honestly wouldn't wish him on ANYONE!!!!!
