Well, they did win 3-0, so the strategy worked. Lambeau was a genius!

Ya, the field was a muddy mess though. Does anyone recall the Steelers game a few years back where the field was a total soggy mudpit? The game went kinda this way - no one could move the ball at all. Still, we do have the incredible forward pass...

Any pass rush with Fowler?

Bears might set an NFL record for INTs this week if Peterman plays the whole game.

If only Peanut Tillman was around to pad that career total.

Tillman’s a 5-0 now. Chasing little green ETs for the FBI.

Lions make weird move - they trade for a run-stuffing D-lineman, then trade Golden Tate away.

They don't know if they're coming or going.

#Browns interim HC Gregg Williams: "Since I left Buffalo, I had 11 letters to interview for HC jobs, 4 of them didn't even have to interview, just show up and sign the contract"

If I had $1 for every time I watch #NFL LB’s let a WR/TE cross their face/have free access upfield in pass game w/o laying a hand on them within the five yard legal contact zone...It clearly isn’t being taught/emphasized, & is just another reason offensive coaches are laughing...

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan won an @NFL game w/ a third-string 23-year old undrafted free agent at QB, one who’d had a 20-21 record at Southern Miss. But hey, if Shanahan had lost, he could’ve always said he couldn’t “run” his offense “b/c we didn’t have the players.” #Browns

AK is taking a shot at Hue Jackson's interview I believe.

But McCarthy can do this. He revved up Flynn to compete with the Patriots. But when he doesn't stretch himself its very business as usual.

I think we have passed the point he will change (he did not find his footing with Hundley last year) and think he probably should be gone. But the odds of getting someone better are pretty long.

Raiders are probably terrible next year, cap space is an illusion because of so few players under contract are young and part of the core moving forward:

Yes he is. Hue is trying to rehabilitate 3-36-1 to get a coordinator rather than a position coaching job. He may have to take a lower tier college job

Stubby prepared his team and had a legit shot at beating the Rams on the road. There's not much wrong with the guy. Sometimes the truth is that you really don't have the horses. That's where the Packers are right now. With everyone healthy, they can field a strong offense with a weakness on the right side of the O-line and a fair defense with no pass rush. Because of the lack of depth, the margin is razor thin, but they can still win a lot of games. Stubby will have less cache if they lose, even if players are hurt. if Murph/Gute want to (are moving to) replace him, they better already have an idea who they want in his place and then keep their fingers crossed the Packers/Rodgers don't over-perform.

It's so satisfying to finally have the talking heads see what many of us saw for so long. That Gruden was an overrated HC and is just a TV persona. Oakland is becoming worse than Cleveland, and they can thank Davis and Gruden for that.

I do think he is not quite this bad, he has 10 years and he is planning on tanking the first 2-3 of them. And if he doesn't survive the way he wished to, he will retire and collect most of his contract.

Really, its all about The Process.
