Yes, you are correct sir! I should have put the Media circus that surrounds Tebow for clarification. My bad.Valhalla wrote: It wasn't any Tebow circus, the Jets stunk playing Sanchez and Tebow was totally obedient to the Team.
No reason to watch the idiots on ESPN talking about Tebow, Haters gonna Hate.
Jets are getting rid of the General Manager and will probably keep Ryan.
Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.

Re: Black Monday
How did Rex Ryan survive? 8-8 season then this debacle when he was making Super Bowl proclamations? Do you know that when you go to Google and type in Rex Ryan the next words are "foot video?" Rex "Foot Video" Ryan goes 14-18 and makes a complete moron out of himself and he stays? WHY!?!
Then you throw on one of the most toxic things that a coach can bring upon his team, a "quarterback" controversy.
Lovie Smith got completely hosed by injuries again. It wasn't Lovie's fault! and the "collapse" of what? Going 3-5 against...
Texans
49ers on the road
Seattle
Vikings
Packers
Vikings
Cardinals
Lions
Does that look like a collapse or a team having to play a bunch of good to great teams with a bunch of injuries on every side of the ball?
Doesn't Texans, Niners, Seattle, 2 games against Minnesota and Green Bay look fairly brutal?

Re: Black Monday
I am actually kind of excited to see where Chip Kelly goes. I don't think he will be that successful of an NFL coach just because he won't have the speed advantage every game. When his teams go up against athletic front lines, it's not a pretty sight. Which vacancy do you guys think is the best fit and which vacancy do you think will actually sign him?

I'm surprised he took the gig over Arizona. The Chiefs had a few players and the 1st pick. He stated he could fix Kolb, he gets a top 5 receiver and a solid defense. I don't get it.

Re: Black Monday
Chiefs pushed Pioli out, so presumably Reid is getting some level of personnel control. Maybe Arizona wasn't willing to give that?Viva la Vikings wrote: I'm surprised he took the gig over Arizona.

Chip Kelly's brief flirtation with the NFL has ended, with Ian Rapoport reporting he'll return to Oregon, disappointing the Eagles and Browns in the process.

Re: Black Monday
Interesting.
Cowboys Defense - TM - Cowboys
Cowboys fired DC Rob Ryan.
Jets beat writer Brian Costello first broke the news. Perhaps he got the surprising scoop from someone close to Ryan's twin brother. Costello advises to forget about a Ryan Brothers reunion, as secondary coach Dennis Thurman has already been promoted to Jets defensive coordinator. Ryan's Dallas defense was among the league's stingiest early in the season before losing several key players to injuries. For his part, Ryan believes he'll be "out of work for like five minutes." It may have been that kind of bravado that helped wear out his welcome in Big D.

Looks like Kelly changed his mind--ending up with the Eagles. Don't know what he'll do at QB there: keep Vick? Draft Geno Smith? Foles doesn't seem to fit Kelly's typical schemes, as this article points out:
