So hire McCarthy as their post-Wolf Shermie? Quintricia has been in place for, what, three years? The only thing that comes from changing course every three years is that you scare away all the good candidates and are left choosing between Chucky and Mouse Davis.

You forget it's the Lions. They could have their pick of Bill Belichek, Vince Lombardi, and Bill Walsh, and they'd pick Rod Marinelli.

I think the Quinnicia will be back. Which, as a Packer fan, I am thrilled about.

You heard it first at PackerRats.

Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia are back for 2020, when Martha Ford says: "We expect to be a playoff contender and those are our expectations, which we’ve expressed to both Bob and to Matt" https://freep.com/story/sports/nfl/l...246001/… via @freep

Matt Stafford on IR, as he should be with that injury.

[pbmax]

I can't decide whether this is fascinating or just the same old story with new characters I don't know well.

Mostly I think I am rooting against Patricia.

Before the decision, the feeling of the writer was that it wasn't at all good enough. But the Ford's are banking on the wonderful offense they showed when Stafford was healthy.

They were a half decent team with Stafford. Good news that he is on IR - I thought he might come back in time for our game with them.

[Fritz]

Lions were 3-4-1 with Stafford.

So I say yay, bring Quinntricia back! Hell yeah!

Bob Quinn - you go draft some more big, slow defensive players. Patricia, you keep rushing three guys on obvious passing downs.

Go boys, go!

Cold blooded.

Matt Harmon
Tom Coughlin has to at least be happy that his firing decided to show up early

Baylor HC Matt Rhule is the name I’m hearing time and time again. Not one team in particular— any/all.

Called this last year (in a list of about 20 future candidates)

Sounds good but he would have met someone eventually, Hertz counter or not.

So........ It's not the Butterfly Effect, it's the Buffalo Effect?

Not to be confused with the Buffalo Affect when one rolls in mud pits, tosses ignorant tourists 20' into the air and are attracted to girls on the 'roomy' side.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's awesome

Bears disappointed season reviewed and plan going forward:

How to avoid making the same mistake: The Bears should improve their interception and takeaway rates in 2020 by sheer regression toward the mean, although they likely need to do more to address their depth on the defensive side of the ball via the draft. Again, they're in a compromised position as a product of trades, as they are down their first-, third- and fourth-round picks, although they have an extra second-rounder from the Raiders and should pick up a fourth-round compensatory selection for Amos. Pace has to resist the urge to trade up with the selections he has, especially for more offensive help.

Fun article as the Boys are in the top spot!

Brad Biggs @BradBiggs
The #Raiders, a year after trading Khalil Mack, are a longshot to make the AFC playoffs. But they're still alive and if Oakland sneaks in that pick the #Bears get in Round 2 won't be until No. 53 overall.

Failure: trying the same thing over and over again while going 6-9
