NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

Jeff Fisher is exactly the kind of coach that takes in problem players. Rams need him more!

He'd fit right in on Dallas's IR/suspended all star team

No, it's not over. It's the first year of his third offensive system,

I mostly despise this excuse. IF the fucking guy was good enough he wouldn't be on his third offensive system / coach. Just happens to be easier to fire the coaching staff and muddle around in mediocrity than firing a shit bird like Tannehill and picking out a winner in the draft.

Rams would be his best fit. I'd love to see him in Pittsburgh too, but we already have enough dipshits. Him and AB would be lulzworthy to defend ;(

So true

LOL, guy literally could not be more wrong. The people who want more discipline for off the field issues don't watch football anyway and were never going to start watching. I'd rather see the best players playing and go back to not knowing how many people he's killed or lines of coke he snorts in a night.

Well he did say possible.

I think the NFL is going to be scrambling, and its a combination of most of the things in the article. I know Mark Cuban said the NFL was getting so greedy it would haunt them down the road, and that's what we are seeing when you have a bunch of crappy games on Thursday night. Monday Night Football was *the* thing back in the day, now the games usually suck, SNF games are typically better and its just a case of oversaturation. The NFL is on all the time, then you have home games in fucking London for some teams which just pisses those fans off.

I would also add fans are definitely not a fan of Heir Goodell also, and his neutering with the No Fun League with fines for everything. I also think the game has become such a finesse passing driven game that the big hits have disappeared due to the concussion/CTE information that's out there too. Those NFL films biggest hits videos were always fan favorites for a reason. But I dont see how you undo that at this point. Pussification of Murica, I guess

NFL needs to get with the times and have some truly awesome online live-streaming.

I want to live in a world where I can watch every snap live on any of the 7+++ cameras, then switch and watch any replays I want from other angles during the commercial breaks, while having my choice of listening to either local radio broadcast, or the TV announcers. without ads.
(If they allowed sports bars to have access to something like this it would usher in a new era, and totally change the viewing experience.)


Obviously this would really hurt TV ratings, and ticket sales, and thus will never happen. But I can dream dammit.

I agree, they have diluted the brand some with so many games on various days. Short of being a crazed fanatic, which you'd have Sunday ticket, it is hard to really care about a lot of the games. Especially with many teams perpetually sitting in the shitter.

The NFL's meteoric rise in popularity wasn't going to continue forever. The brand is bound to plateau (has already) and experience the inevitable decline.

I think the biggest problem for the NFL over the next 5 years is going to be replacing the current crop of great athletes, especially at QB, with players from College that are not playing in NFL type systems. In addition, getting parity back among the bottom half the league.

100% agree Kedwyn. If the NFL wants to thrive they need QBs. Ideally there would be about 48 great QBs so the media doesn't have to make more out of rookie/young QBs than is necessary. All college cares about is wins but if they would JUST GO FUCKING PRO STYLE OFFENSES ALREADY... we would get more NFL worthy QBs.

We've already lost Manning. Brady and Brees are within a few years. That leaves Rodgers for 5 to 8 more years if he's healthy? Not sure how much longer Ben will play either. Luck and Cam should be gtg for a while if they're healthy. I don't care what anyone says, Wilson is not that great imo. I'm sure Convo is ready to annoint Wentz a hall of famer...

Old school football more focused on the run I think there's enough RBs to go around but there just aren't enough QBs for everyone to have a decent shot at contending for the Championship. Whoever it was above shitting on Tannelhill having 3 offensive systems in 3 years... It's NOT that easy to pick even a Tannelhill caliber QB out of the draft. Cough * Gabbert and whoever that guy was in Minnesota that went in the first round the other year?

The brand is diluted but they are also guilty of pushing a brand of football that isn't sustainable. It's all about the QBs, WRs, and watching a scoring fest. That gets old especially when it's a QB driven league now...and about half of the QBs suck or are average. Nothing is worse than seeing two shitty QBs duking it out and the one with an AJ Green wins out with FGs. You get lucky with a Wentz, Rapistberger, or Brady...or you shit the bed with a RGKnee, Foles, Tannehill, Geno Smith,etc. Nobody wants to watch Geno Smith play anything outside of 'How fast can Geno get a pressure ulcer on the bench?" Tune out again this week.

Wow, that's something I never thought about. The league is a pass first league, but with like 2/3 of the QB's unable to play that type of game because they're shit. Leads to really unfortunate to watch games.

Watkins to IR.

If the Seahawks beat the jets and the pats beat buffalo, Brady comes back with a 3 game lead in the act east.

Football feels lacking this weekend..
