NFL Hot seat

[Deacon]

I agree they do seem to score alot. I guess my questions are some of the play calling they do, they pass way too much, for the Rb they have, they don't ever run a Qb sneak when it gets close to goal line or some other situations.

But I also have heard that Haley has a tendency to grate of people, and this is his longest stay on one team yet. One or two sites had Big ben and Haley having issues, so net I don't see them renewing him.

And its not just the fact that they score from a statistical standpoint. Look at the playoff game. At the end of the day they did have 42 pts. but the reality of the game is that they fell behind 21-0 after going 3 and out on several possessions then they went into desperation mode going for it every 4th down. 2 of their scores came on long pass plays on 4th down. This has been a disturbing pattern for the Pittsburg offense this season. The Baltimore game was the same way, they even had to scramble in desperation to beat the Browns both games.

There is so much talent that they can't be stopped when they get serious about it, the problem is they never seem to get into any kind of rhythm or consistency until circumstances become dire and that is no way to operate on a continuous basis.

About Face! U-Turn!

Unbelievable. So here is the scenario as it was explained on TV yesterday.

He fully agreed to terms with Indy on being their coach, and was totally ready to sign(do not believe he had actually signed yet...) and then went into offices of NE yesterday morning. In those meetings, something drastically changed, as he had told them he WAS leaving. Post those meetings, he notified Indy he was changing his mind and not coming to be their HC.

Speculation is.......Bellicheck is done after this coming year, and McDaniels has been guaranteed to be the replacement. This is all conjecture, so don't take it as gospel. However, it is confirmed by multiple sources he went into offices and told them he WAS leaving, and post those meetings something changed.

Meanwhile several of the coaches that he had recruited to come with him ti the Colts had already signed contracts there and who ever the new coach is will be stuck with them.

Additionally there are reports out that several doctors believe Luck's shoulder is not right and will require more surgery.

The most screwed up organization in the NFL has dug their hole a little deeper.

all in all, Brissett was not that bad, considering he came into the season totally cold, and was starting by week 2 or 3. He can be an okay stop gap.

Big teller will be draft. Indy takes a Qb early, you know Luck is toast.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports the Colts hired Frank Reich as their head coach on a five-year deal.

Wow! Great for him, he is in the exact same mold as Doug Pederson, so this could be really fun for Indy. He needs a strong Def. coach though, they grabbed the up and comer from Dallas, so can't wait to see how that meshes.

Eagles lost a lot this off season.
