Its hard to get a good read on Quinn. Seattle was so good with him as DC, but the Falcons were very poor. I dont know if he was spread to thin or gave too much control to Atlanta's DC.What is the best cure for one of the league’s historically bad defenses?? Hire the guy that oversaw the biggest Super Bowl choke job of all time.

I feel it was obvious since the draft that Peterson had no control of what to do with the team anymore. Ownership wanted a new QB and forced him into the game eventually, and Im sure they made him tank that final game at the end.

Winning would have given them the 9th pick. Losing gave them the 6th. Jets fans WISH they had a front office willing to do what the Eagles did

It was a smart move for a pick upgrade but disastrous choice in regards to the integrity of the game, giving Goodell a massive black eye in the process. Someone was gonna go down for it. I still expect action from the league in the form of fines and lost draft picks.

Exactly. GM tells the training staff who to say is out due to “ injury “. Training staff informs the coaches. HC tells the media during the Wed roster updates. Vegas has plenty of time to adjust the lines. And no one has to get beat to death with a bat for fucking with the betting lines. I expect And anyone who thinks that’s not the reason the NFL would actually get angry doesn’t understand just how huge Vegas is to the NFL.

The optics of it were just terrible. It didn't help that Smith could barely move out there (and frankly hasn't been great most of the season), and we were bumbling the ball around just as much as QB Eagles brought in. Made it look far more like Eagles were having to hold back purposely in order to lose the game (despite being behind at the time they pulled Hurts).

Despite their longtime friendship and multiple championship White House visits, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has declined to accept the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Trump.
Belichick made the announcement on Monday.
“Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which I was flattered by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award,” the coach said in a statement.
“Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverence for our nation’s values, freedom, and democracy. I know I also represent my family and the New England Patriots team. One of the most rewarding things in my professional career took place in 2020 when, through the great leadership within our team, conversations about social justice, equality, and human rights moved to the forefront and became actions. Continuing those efforts while remaining true to the people, team, and county I love outweigh the benefits of any individual award.”
Belichick and Trump have been friends for years. A friendship that came into focus after Trump read a letter that Belichick wrote to him to New Hampshire voters on the eve of his election victory in 2016.
“Congratulations on a tremendous campaign. You have dealt with an unbelievable slanted and negative media, and have come out beautifully – beautifully,” Trump read. “You’ve proved to be the ultimate competitor and fighter. Your leadership is amazing. I have always had tremendous respect for you, but the toughness and perseverance you have displayed over the past year is remarkable. Hopefully, tomorrow’s election results will give the opportunity to make America great again. Best wishes for great results tomorrow.”
Belichick’s former quarterback, Tom Brady, is also a friend of the president.
“Recently, sports figures Gary Player, Annika Sorenstam, Babe Zaharias, Roger Staubach and Don Gable received the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Fox News reports.
Trump made headlines in August when he said that, if he was in a military battle, he would seek advice from Belichick.
