Can anyone say SEVEN losses in a row for the traitorous Giants?

I was shopping at Circle Center Mall in Indpls tonight. The place was crawling with crazy costumed Colts fans, and lots of orange Broncos fans too. Blue skinned men, blue afros, blue Santa Clauses, and big plastic blue horse heads! Who knew football was so big in Indy! not me!

JD... congratulations on the two losses by those NY/NJ teams this weekend!
You know, I started this thread because the Bears just looked SO BAD to begin the season (49-7 loss to San Francisco on opening day). Things are looking up though... after 1-5 start, they're now 7-8 (but we do have KC next week!). Personally, I like the head coach and hope he stays... but there seems to be some political stuff going on - and the GM seems to want a chance to 'pick his own man'... we'll know in about 10 days how it has all shaken out. One nice thing... when the playoffs were finally mathematically out of reach, they started the rookie QB whom they drafted this year. Name's Rex Grossman - and he's looking pretty good. If we were playoff bound, I don't think they would have ever put him on the field to see what he could do... |

Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the possible presence of locker room politics last night between Manning, Harrison and Wayne?

The Browns suck as usual.
Baltimore Ravens- 35 Cleveland Browns- 0 Just one more game of torture. Next Sunday, they play the Bangels. I don't think I have ever been happier to see the football season end.

SGH, looking forward to draft day, myself
I'd like to pop just thinking about Davis and the piss poor job he's doing. Dan Reeves is on the market, and Wade Philips, who has already expressed he's interested in another head coaching position, looks as though he will be on the market as well. Admittedly its a long shot, but we can dream, can't we?

I have been wondering about the fate of Butch Davis. I was also surprised to find out yesterday that at the end of the season, Dennis Northcut will be a free agent. I hope he stays, cause he is damned good. It will also be interesting to see what developes in the QB positions.

Aren't they releasing Tim Couch to free-agency?

The Axe Falls
For better or for worse... (how ironic to use the terms that bind in a wedding) the Chicago Bears have just fired their coach, Dick Jauron.
Mixed feelings - but mostly I feel bad about it. The team has been hampered by some injuries and poor management moves the past couple years (the same management that's firing him). The players speak well of him - he keeps his cool and has a quiet confidence, which they respect. Two years ago the team had a breakout 13-3 season and the players emphatically credited the coach - and the way he handles things that come up. On the other hand, the team seems to bumble its way along badly. Jauron has been unswervingly loyal to his assistants - even though one in particular (offensive coordinator) appears to be unable to do the job needed. So - the 13-3 gave way to 4-12 last year and 7-9 this year... bookended by a 49-7 loss to start the season against San Francisco and a 31-3 loss to finish it against Kansas City. It was SO BAD yesterday... at the end of the first half, trailing 14-0, the Bears worked the ball inside the 20 and stopped the clock with 19 seconds and one timeout left. They managed to run out the clock without even being able to try a field goal. On another play, a receiver caught a pass in the middle of the field - he was wide open and had a clear path to the end zone. What does he do?... he veers to the right, toward a defender who makes the tackle. SHEESH! I think Jauron is a class guy though. I expect he'll be coaching again somewhere... and with how things go in Chicago, he'll probably become The Bears' Bane! |

let's see - the Giants lost their final game making it 8 in a row and the Jets also lost their final game.
These voodoo dolls worked great. Giants coach fired, a bunch of coaches in the Jets fired. It was a great season for the traitors this year.

JOE GIBBS!! JOE GIBBS IS COMING BACK TO WASHINGTON!!! AAHH!! *frothing at the mouth ensues and much unintelligable stammering from disbelief*
please note: Joe Gibbs is considered The Messiah in Washington DC. he WAS the redskins when the redskins were in their truest highest glory. and hes been gone for like almost a decade. so this is quite an amazing day for redskin fans. imagine a fabled hero from your childhood you held in highest regards came marching back over the mountain to save you again from the evils of the world.

Is Joe Gibbs a coach or something? Please explain in more detail.
And it looks like the Giants got a new coach, the former coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars (can't remember his name at the moment). Too bad I don't really care about the Giants. Go Jets! |

I dont necessarily think he will usher in a new age of NFL domination but this means that he will NOT get the same kind of rediculous scrutiny and treatment by Snyder (the owner) that all the other coaches got. Because if he piddles around with Gibbs and goes over his head all the time the fans will crucify him. And Im sure he knows this very well. And thats a good thing. Because Snyder is such a wacko. Course Snyder himself is thinking of the marketing aspect of bringing in the "once and future king" back into the fold....

I feel like I just got back from being in the desert for 12 years. And I just heard Joe Bugel is going to be assistant and work with the offensive line. He's says they are "going to have some slobber-knocking fun".

JD, I saw something in the Star Ledger the other day about how holding grudges is bad for your health.
