January 11, 2014

Munchack fired immediately following last weeks show. Right decision? Clear indication they are moving on from Locker.

Jay Gruden hired in DC. Never met with rg3 prior to getting job. Passed on keeper nick because he didn't like pistol/ read option.  Dalton still not very consistent
Titans, browns, lions, Vikings still without coaches. Caldwell, Wisenhunt, Munchack on tops of many lists. All former HC’s, many of which did not have a ton of success. Seattle OC/DC, 9ers DC Greg Roman, Mike Zimmer, Cardinals DC Todd Bowles lead list of current OC/DC candidates who have not been head coaches.
Bengals lose again in playoffs. Dalton now 0-3 in first three years in playoff games. Marvin Lewis now 90-85-1 as hc of bengals over 10 years and is 0-5 in the playoffs. Isn't it time to make a change?
Nfl "considering" adding a 7th seed to playoffs, only giving a bye to the 1 seed and adding a third game to each conference on wild card weekend. More pressure to get top seed or less pressure to win because an extra team gets in? This season was the greatest week 16 and 17 ever because of the battles for few spots. Throw an extra slot in and you diminish the importance of every win.
