Rex had to leave in his Buffalo themed truck

Bandwagon for the Packers.
Absolutely no Patriots, no Steelers, and NO Giants. Spare us another Giants/Patriots SB, and all is OK in the NFL world.

They both can still make the playoffs. If the Giants beat Washington, and if GB wins, then Detroit can get into the playoffs at 9-7 due to a Washington loss. Washington has the tie breaker over GB due to beating them in the regular season if they were to be a wild card team.
CORRECTION: I was wrong...Washington's tie will still put them over a 9-7 team as a wildcard if they win against the Giants.

Maybe all along Rex Ryan wasn't that good of a coach to begin with????
He took a Bills team who had a top 5 ranked defense before he came there and they were always ranked in the 20's after he got there. Even before he hired Rob Ryan, there was no signs of improvements.
He came to the Jets possibly at the most perfect opportunistic time after they had a solid defense in the making for the past several years. Maybe Mangini was the real brain behind that team's making, after all?
I wouldn't even want Rex as a DC. Those old Ravens teams he used to coordinate were always loaded with defensive talent. Rex has proven that he is not a coach like Dungy who can take mediocre talent on defense and play them in situational roles and squeeze the best talent out of them.

Before anyone even thinks it- NO the Colts do not need any part of Larry, Moe, or Curly
Oh with Grigson at the head, they would complete the trio
-
They lost by 21 points. Bad call or not, the Lions have just finally been exposed as a mediocre team.

Brock is still 2-0 against the Colts....Let that sink in while all of you sit there and play the circle wagon bashing him. He beat the Colts twice, and despite playing mediocre this year, his team is in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the highest paid QB in the league, goes a second year in a row missing the playoffs.
The days of this team getting 6 easy wins from a horrible division are over. Houston has surpassed the Colts, and if I were a Colts fan right now, I'd be worried to death about Tennessee. They have a quarterback who could easily surpass Luck. Mariota is doing a hell of a job and with far lesser talent than Luck has had. The Titans are stacked with draft picks waiting and so far, so good, they've turned their team around pretty quickly. In the future, Tennessee is going to make it tough on both Indy and Houston.

Pagano and Grigson are staying. Welcome to another year of mediocrity....Colts have big problems on their hands with the division. Houston has surpassed them, and Tennessee looks like the team for the future with all those draft picks and building a team the right way.
In 5 years under Grigson, the "monster" still hasn't been built on defense and at this point, probably isn't going to be.
-
The result of paying Luck that absolute insane monster contract.
Cap hell is coming....you just wait in a few years.

No doubt. Many Denver fans are probably wishing this van was pulling up at Arrowhead at half time...
Bring him out, the Chiefs fans would be so happy.
This is what happened the last time he played Kansas City

His offenses have looked horrific, I agree. I feel bad for those defensive players.
I don't think Gase wins COY though. It probably goes to Garrett or Del Rio.
Given that they won a SB last year with a dirty defense who practically got away with murder last year, I don't feel sorry for them whatsoever.

Remind you of a certain team's first season with their franchise quarterback? Thanks for the congratulations. Once you get in anything can happen.
The funniest thing this year is reading Colts fans who bash Brock all day regardless of the fact that he beat them twice this year, and no matter how bad the QB situation is, Houston is going to the playoffs.
-
The Eagles peaked way too early in the season. Pittsburgh is hot right now but I absolutely do not trust this team ever. Remember last year they were hot and all it took was the wildcard game for the injuries to completely derail them.

Colts O-line is 5 monster truck earth movers compared to Denver
Also don't help that Kubiak's 1990's style offense is terrible and every quarterback in his system counting Peyton last year has looked terrible in it.

I would rather have Denver in the post-season than Miami. Hope they can pull this off.
Gary Kubiak is proving to be a coach that absolutely does not deserve a Super Bowl ring whatsoever.
At least Miami bounced back when everyone had them going 6-10, and Gase could be coach of the year.

Eagles always play very good D at home this year. Wins over the Steelers, Falcons, Giants, Vikings at home - pretty good if you ask me. Just cannot finish close games 23-24 to Lions, 23-28 to Giants, 23-29 to Cowboys, 26-27 to Ravens, 22-27 to Redskins, 20-27 to Redskins (0-6 in 1 score games till the win over the Giants yesterday) and their 6-9 could easily be 9-6 if they won half those games.
Wentz look like the real deal and they could be a dangerous team in the near future if they addressed the problems on offensive line and continue to build up their defense.
Darren Sproles and Malcolm Jenkins, ex-Saint players who had a big game last night. Jenkins has turned into a phenomenal player since leaving N.O., and Sproles has always been one of the more underrated players in the league who definitely deserves his spot on every roster he's been on.
NFC East may become the Eagles/Cowboys show for the next few years. I'd like to see a rivalry of Wentz vs Prescott.

I knew somebody was going to...the Jags always played tough before Del Rio was out. That's all I was saying.
Del Rio's Jags had a defense that could slow down the pass heavy offenses, at least from what I experienced.
He held the Saints to just 24 points in 2011, the year they broke all the record. I always thought Del Rio was a better coach than he got credit for in Jacksonville. He probably wins Coach of the Year now thanks to Oakland's success.

They have always given us trouble for some silly reason. Our SB winning season they destroyed us 44-17 in Jacks. The other 3 games the Colts loss were by 7 points or less that season as the Colts never got blown out. (except that game at Jacks)
It happens.
The Rams have Seattle's number for the past recent years. Tampa Bay split 1-1 with the Saints between their dominant years of 2008 to 2012. The 80's 49ers used to struggle hard with the Rams too.

Irsay is keeping Pagano and Grigson. Get ready for at least one more year of mediocrity.

I love Ditka and I think that this new wave of him being overrated is unfair. I know the 85 Bears wasn't exactly 1 of those teams driven specifically by the head coach but they were competitive until what 1991? And he was fired even though they 1 a playoff game I think. He also worked for Tom Landry. Tom Landry didn't employ frauds.
But I hate the Saints lol! Stupid Saints.
Ditka had full control for GM and head coach at the Saints, and did an awful job. He traded our entire draft for Ricky Williams. Thanks to Dan Synder and Washington for completely outdoing us on that with the RGIII trade, but Ricky Williams draft deal was outrageous and still is to this day. There is not one single player, not even the best quarterbacks ever, who are worth giving up your entire draft for 3 years to take.
I've always believed Buddy Ryan was the true mastermind for the '85 Bears. After Ryan left in '86, the Bears never went far in the playoffs again. Washington and the 49ers were the teams that used to own Ditka's defense all through Art Monk and Jerry Rice burning them. The 1988 NFCCG is pretty hard on them, where they got the 49ers at home in Chicago, in a snowed out game and then got beat down.

(I promised I would make a topic of this if Bradley got fired this season)
Mike Ditka won more games with the terrible late 90's Saints than Gus Bradley accomplished with the Jags.
DITKA SAINTS
1997 - 6-10
1998 - 6-10
1999 - 3-13
Total record - 15-33
BRADLEY JAGS
2014 - 3-13
2015 - 5-11
2016 - 2-12
Total record - 10-36
I think it's safe to say even if Bradley wasn't fired this week, he still don't match Ditka's horrible winning record with the Saints.
If you think Bortles is bad, the Ditka era Saints had 2 quarterbacks named 'Billy Joe' (and another bust named Heath Shuler whom he traded away an old Jim Everett to sign). The jokes write themselves.
-
And they've beaten the Colts twice in the last two meetings including a game where they dropped 50 on them.

Coughlin is the only coach to ever take the Jags on a deep playoff run, and he did it twice.
They accomplished their best season in franchise history under him in 1999 when they finished 14-2. Both losses came to the same team (Tennessee) and some can argue that they probably reach the SB that year had they just avoided Tennessee if the 'Music City Miracle' never happened.
Would be a smart hire to go back for Coughlin. And in the process, change those ridiculous uniforms and go back to the 90's stuff.

They had no business still throwing the ball when they were up 33-14 in the 4th quarter. Game was over at that point, no way they were going to lose.
They should've been running it, or taken him out of the game. I hope Del Rio learns his lesson from this. You never know when a bad injury is going to occur.
