NFL: ***Official Week Five Thread***

[jbindm]

Justin Houston with an amazing game. Lucky for him Cam Erving was the Chiefs LT yesterday. He's so bad. I never thought I would miss Eric Fisher but holy crap please come back asap. Also Sammy Watkins is a waste. Mr Glass. I bet they move on from him this summer.

They really miss Tyreek Hill. The Colts played a ton of man coverage last night and were really successful with it, especially once Mahomes tweaked his ankle and couldn't get outside the pocket. Quincy Wilson had a really good game going one on one against Kelce, too.

 

[Dandy]

Could be. And maybe it's a long shot but I wonder if he chases Jim Harbaugh, too. If they're dead set on making a splash hire they'll have to pay a premium. That's one of the most dysfunctional franchises in all of sports.

They'll call Lincoln Riley too. They will pursue every big name college coach but end up with someone like Rex Ryan. That franchise is awful.

Coaching in Washington is like the Olympics. Except, instead of a torch, the coaches have to pass along the dumpster fire, and make sure it doesn't go out.

Nobody can succeed there with the current front office in place. It's a pretty safe bet they'll end up having to settle on their third or fourth or fifth choice, and it'll be some poor desperate bastard who knows he'll never get another chance at a head coaching job. So...Gregg Williams, round 2? Jim Schwartz? Maybe Jason Garrett if he gets run out of Dallas?

edit: I'm mildly disappointed that on a coaching staff that includes Rob Ryan and Jim Tomsula the Skins went with Bill Callahan as the interim head coach. They'll still be bad but with the right interim appointment they could have transcended bad and become performance art.

I feel like Rex Ryan is going to get another shot. He'll be terrible, of course, but it feels like that could be a move Snyder could make now.

There is only one man that makes sense to bring the Skins back to mediocrity.

Jeff Fisher

Oh ****, I forgot all about him! It's perfect. He's a (sort-of) big name, he's made some noise about wanting back in the game, and he could reel off a decade's worth of 7-9 seasons no sweat. It's a perfect fit.

 

[Cy$]

John Fox to the Redskins would make sense

 

[cmjh10]

In before Campbell to Washington rumors

 

[Acylum]

Lol Browns. I’m sure next year they’ll be really good though. And they can spend the offseason telling us all about it.

 

[madguy30]

Just remember it's MNF and turned it to see Mayfield fumble, but at least fumble gunslinger-style.

Wonder if he knows he might need that commercial money some day.

The Cleveland Bandwagon is going to be parked...permanently. get off now.

There schedule is tough the next few weeks, but the back half is super easy. They could still be in the mix for a wild card spot.

 

[3TrueFans]

Cleveland has some real talent but Baker is not ready for primetime and he is constantly killing them.

 

[dirtyninety]

Bosa is xenophobic and doesn't like senior citizens and wants school kids to go hungry.

 

[cycloneG]

Is this why Cleveland can't have nice things?

2-3 now. Next few games -

SEA - probably a loss
BYE
@ NE - probably a loss
@ DEN - probably a win
BUF - tossup game

Like you said, the back half is easy. They get the the Steelers and Bengals twice each and the Dolphins at home so there's potential for a run but 3-6 or a worst case scenario of 2-7 puts them in a pretty deep hole to climb out of.

 

[Dandy]

How mad do you think OBJ is? He was a global star in NYG. Now he's not even the most targeted receiver on the Browns.

If they can go 2-2 the next 4, which I think is possible, they could be sitting pretty.
