And the Seahawks... god...worst prevent defense I've ever seen in my life... Why play prevent in 1st place?????
Really, in my opinion, there is no point in a prevent defense, because as we see, it just looks awful. Personally if I'm a coach I just tell them to loosen up and play man coverage, though I'd put the safeties in zones farther back than usual. I mean with the typical prevent, sending everyone back still allows for a short pass that can turn into a big play, but playing man still has the short and long play covered.
Exactly, he's not the only guy on the field. Plus despite his "Failures" he still has a superbowl victory, which a lot of qbs can't claim. He still has to be considered one of, if not the best quarterbacks in NFL history.

Final Int... tried to force a pass where there wasn't a gap...
Wow.... after 5+ quarters of football that's all you can remember. Even if we were to forget all of the bazillion things that lead up to that play, are you aware that both Manning and Stokley are publicly taking the blame for that pass? It was an improvised route, and Stokley claims that he should have known better than to run across midfield opposite Manning's running direction and throwing arm.
Not saying it was Stokley's fault, and ultimately it was Manning's decision to throw it there. Just pointing out that Stokley claims it was his fault.
So even on that one single play it's a mixed bag - but sooooo much happened before then.
The primary reason the Broncos lost that game was clearly, clearly problems in their secondary. Not, a lack of points.

Meanwhile, here in Houston, a lot of the fans are either against Matt Schaub's play or Gary Kubiak's play calling as far as what Houston can improve on for the future. I was most pleased at how we were able to play up to a tough schedule. The biggest fails were vs. the Packers and at the Patriots (regular season). I think the Texans can only get better as long as they continually show improvement. Arian Foster is a great player as long as he gets going and as long as he can tote the rock and reel off some good runs. I think he's just getting started. He may be to the Texans' running game as Andre Johnson is to the passing game. I was VERY pleased seeing Danieal(?) Manning reel off that sweet opening kickoff to start the game. Just too bad the offense couldn't do much else to keep the game close at New England yesterday. The Texans tweeted their support from the fans all season long recently. I'm proud of my team. Season #11 ended the way Season #10 did- losing in a AFC Divisional Playoff game. It was a tough season, and the Texans were tough enough to handle it despite their losses.
Congratulations to the two teams who will head to the Super Bowl after this weekend's games.

I think really the Texans' problem with New England is the same as everyone else's problem with New England, defense. The New England offense is killing everyone right now, and the only effective way that I've seen to stop it is getting to Brady without blitzing. That's a tough thing to do against the Pats o-line, but it has been done.
I think he knows this, and I think he's having a rough time of it.

I heard he is still having bouts of PTSD after his cock up last season.
And when will the Bears hire somebody? I know we still got time, but I'd like the new coach be hired soon so the new "culture" can settle into Halas Hall and get to work asap. I just hope Emery doesn't interview too many people and get caught up with all the different candidates.

So he pulled a Dave Chappelle of sorts and fled to Africa eh?

Guys, mark it down.
I am GUARANTEEING the Steelers will win the AFCN next year. Even if the Rats win the SB I will still go with this. Gut feeling.

Bears have hired Marc Trestman as head coach and Aaron Kromer as OC and O-line coach.
Nice job Emery.

This one came out of the asteroid belt. Chip Kelly Hiring: Worst in NFL History?
It surprised he thinks this. I'm no expert, but I'd say just wait and see if it works before saying something like this.

I'm bummed. I was hoping Seattle's Offensive Coordinator would get picked up as a HC somewhere, but it looks like both our coordinators are staying. I really think (and I'm not alone here) that our offense struggled because of his bad play-calling. It just seemed like he'd be too conservative when it wasn't necessary, and not un-cork the offense when we can clearly see it's possible.

Well in his defense, it's hard to stay on cue when you have an entire building causing your eardrums to rattle.
