Adam Schefter reporting Adam Gase is gone from NYJ. Hard to believe he actually won nine games in two seasons.

Posted: **Sun Jan 03, 2021 11:34 pm**

Agreed. That is two and a half better than Zach Taylor. And he's coming back (although his family friend and terrible human being o-line coach Jim Turner is finally getting the boot).

That's actually a really good way to lay everything out.

And I want some Lucky Charms too.

If I was a Broncos fan I would be pretty excited about that schedule (I can't imagine a lower opponents winning percentage is possible). On the flip side a lot of those sad sack opponents are also probably happy to see the Broncos pop up on their schedule.

NFC East
AFC South
NYJ, JAX and if 17th game DET

Posted: **Mon Jan 04, 2021 2:09 pm**

Yeah, I did notice that.

ETA: The Broncos were 29th in takeaways and 32nd best in giveaways. Thus, 32nd in turnover margin. If they could somehow clean that up they could do a hell of a lot better, given a weak schedule.

Doug Marrone and Anthony Lynn both relieved of their current employment, as well.

The most interesting thing for either of those two jobs is that Shad Khan noted that he has final say on the roster, which takes some of the luster away from the #1 overall draft pick and almost $84 million in cap space.

Crazy to think that 4 years ago, the Jags were a botched call away from the Super Bowl.

Doug Pederson. Not gonna tank anymore games in Philly. Out.

I have a theory he told management that neither QB is the long-term answer.

Jets interviewed Marvin Lewis... Hiring Lewis would be the most Jets move possible, right? Is Rich Kotite still alive?

He had such a great reputation when he was with the Ravens. Maybe it was not Marvin but the Bengals.

Posted: **Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:35 pm**

Marvin Lewis has his flaws but he took the Bengals from a trashfire to a legit team for the first time in 20 years, that team imploded and he did it again, then that team imploded and the post-Lewis Bengals are once again a toxic garbage inferno. He might actually work for the Jets.

There's some scuttlebutt out there that he told ownership there are too many people telling him what to do (Howie).

Is that a good job now? Can they get a big name? Howie's relationship with Lurie is going to be the biggest deterrent for prospective hires.

Unless Howie gives up the draft and FA acquisitions, no, it's not a good job. I don't understand how he keeps getting a pass. I think I'm hoping they just promote Duce and he brings along some veteran coach like Jim Caldwell, Darrell Bevell or Anthony Lynn as his OC.

Watch Smith drop to 6th in the draft and Howie passes on him.

This will enable them to then win at home against a Green Bay team who has nothing to play for, meaning they would close on a four-game win streak to squeak into the playoffs (and lose on the road in the wild card round), the Bears will retain Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy, they'll probably try to re-sign Mitchell Trubisky, and I'll drive directly into a snowplow.

Why do I feel like Urban Meyer in Jacksonville is destined to fail miserably?

Meyer is a great coach, but you have to question his physical ability to deal with the stress, which is considerably higher in the NFL. Most big-time college coaches get to have some semblance of a life even during the season, but that's not true at the NFL level. Trevor Lawrence or not, that's going to be a decent sized rebuilding job also.

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:19 am**

They've got a lot of picks AND money for free agents. If Lawrence is what most of us think he is, he could fast forward them to competitive right away.

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:25 am**

If Lawrence were so good, don't you think a well-run organization like the Jets would have ensured they got him?

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2021 11:31 am**

Urban won't get to "pick" his guys as easily in the NFL (contracts/salary cap vs recruiting). I think his reputation will also hurt him if they don't improve quickly.

And what brian said about losing and the stress involved.

Because it is. He's going to fail miserably and it will be glorious.

Also really hoping the Jets take Mullen from my Gators.

Lions hire Rams director of college scouting Brad Holmes as GM.

Now he needs to get to work on a deal to trade/steal for DeShaun Watson. Lions should offer Stafford and a couple of second rounders and build around Watson.

He'll fake being sick again and claim he wants to spend more time with his family. Again.

I read the Jets are getting Watson. Sorry. Would moving from the Texans to the Jets or Lions be an upgrade or downgrade in franchise prestige?

That would be a neat trick, SCK.

Oops. Forgot to change Stafford to Lock!

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:37 pm**

Say what you want about Stafford but he would be an enticing piece to build around for a team with a window of 3-5 years. I really hope he gets a chance to win a title somewhere else as long as the Lions get an elite college QB or a potential cornerstone like Watson.

Posted: **Thu Jan 14, 2021 2:43 pm**

Really hope that Watson stays out of the AFC East.

And boy, that Bill O'Brien sure did a bang up job in Houston.

I can see what you're saying, but I have a hard time believing Jacksonville is that place for him. And, given the nasty injuries he's suffered, I kind of doubt he has 4 years left in him.

Fwiw, some of the media have been floating the idea of him coming to the Broncos. That probably isn't an ideal landing spot for Stafford, either.

He's only missed 8 games in the past 10 seasons, and they were all last season. And they didn't play him in a couple because they sucked, right?
