The 2015/2016 NFL Thread v. yfw da jest win da superb owl

yah I just read this sad article about him apologizing for his over-hyped media showings in preseason/early season, saying how they'd make playoffs, #1 one defense in league, etc etc

I'm like dude #1 rule about talking smack is that you should never apologize WTF??

anyways, I wih it were 2007 and I was in Greeece, NY banging my ex-gf stripper gf. then we would all meet up at the Bills bar - B-I-L-L-S GO BILLS!! (do they say this chant btw??)
 
I just hope the Eagles ownership knows wtf they are doing.
 
oh shit, it's official now? man, when he completely overhauled the Eagles this off-season I thought "he is either going to prove to be a genius, or fail miserably and get fired." it turned out to be the latter. he made some extremely questionable moves this summer and cut top-tier athletes. when you have a RB as good as he did, you don't fire em, you utilize their 3 good pro football years and build an offense around them

I have to say, not too sure who the hot names are right now for avai NFL coaches? not much out there iirc. except for the usual "OMG HIRE JOHN GRUDEN" but even that desperate exclamation has died down last 2 years or so?

so Philly phans - which coach ya hopin' for??
 
I really hope Chip comes to the Big Ten

Conference would be stacked with the best coaches
 
he can't really be surprised he's lost his job? plenty of talent on the team. high hopes dashed.

next up - rex ryan :)

alasdair
 
god damn, arci, I dunno about that. the Big 10 is good enough without Chip Kelly. if he joined our conference we would be nightmarishly good. obviously he would want to implement his type of offense, which Big team would be the best fit? sounds crazy but Indiana (and they've been steadily improving). or if Chip joined Penn State, imagine what he could accomplish with their level of recruits?

and we're essentially proving the point I wanted to make, coming back in here. that Chip Kelly will obviously, easily, get a job coaching on the college level, no question. I bet the teams that already fired & hired their new coach are pissed they did it before this news broke

Im glad the eagles lost because now there will be serious discussion to fire chip.

The dude just doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL coach. hes dealing with grown ass men who all have egos (and money) and not some 19-20 year old impoverished college kid whos just happy to have a scholarship.

I think being an nfl coach is more about being a manager of personalities more than anything else. That and making adjustments in-game, which chip also fucking sucks at.

He should go back to college

Get rid of Bradford. Sign kaepernick
get rid of Demarco murray. Start Ryan mathews
Jordan hicks was on his way to defensive rookie of the year until he got hurt, he'll be back
eric Rowe is a decent corner, so is Maxwell
I never had faith in sam Bradford or his ridiculously small pads, even if they made the playoffs they'd lose to Seattle or green bay or minnesota in the first round

All I know is Fletcher Cox is my new favorite player, and this team is a solid draft and a QB (kaepernick) away from being better than the Deadskins could ever aspire to be

And chip is so arrogant, even in defeat

Cant believe im saying this but I actually miss the "I gotta do a better job" days of Andy Reid

Fuck sports science, ill buy the rumor that LeSean McCoy started about chip kelly being unable to relate to black people

And idk if you guys have looked around the league lately, but that is kind of a big deal

Boom

Fuck chip kelly

I dont really know who they should hire as a head coach, I just want Kaepernick as a QB

One guy I wouldnt mind seeing: Rob Ryan

He has connections because his dad Buddy ryan coached here and he'd generate interest and buzz to a boring team

Plus, he's the exact opposite of Chip Kelly.

Chip was all about future sciences and bullshit while alienating himself from his players and the media (and by extension, the fans), while Rob Ryan is an old school player's coach who has a focus on defense.

Believe it or not, the defense is better than the offense if put in the right scheme and if they stay somewhat healthy

We have no QB, an overrated #1 RB, an underused #2RB, and a 3rd down / punt return specialist

We have 1 good WR (matthews), two questionable wrs (agholar, huff), and one waste of space in riley cooper

Brent celek is on the way out and Zach ertz is only as good as whoever is throwing him the ball. Plus, he's not as freakishly large as Gronk or jimmy graham or Julius thomas or Tyler eifert nor is he a great run blocker so he'll never be a top tier TE.

The o line is getting old. Jason peters is still a pro bowler but an old, injury-prone pro bowler. Kelce seems to have a shitty game for every good game and I couldn't even tell you the guards are. Lane Johnson is a great run blocker but we dropped back to pass 60 times a game.

And that's what pissed me off about chip the most, he just made poor decisions in game. Shit I learned about clock management from playing Madden seemed to be lost on him and that's why we lost a lot of games. He doesn't grasp the concept of keeping the opponent off the field and time of possesion (again, madden shit) which led to his unattended to defense being put on the field way too much in a league where the game favors offense. Eventually your defense will give up drives by way of penalties or big plays when you go up against a julio Jones or Odell beckham or dez Bryant or antonio Brown week in and week out

How do you beat those teams? Control the clock.

But instead we lead the league in 3 and outs (didn't check that but we gotta be up there) because we have a shitty QB

I said in the beginning of the year that Bradford would get hurt and im not even bragging about calling that because no shit, its sam Bradford.

If they get Kaepernick to QB, trade demarco murray, start ryan mathews, and sign a way cheaper 2nd RB they'd be better off

I dont even care to talk about football anymore

And I'm just tired of watching it period. Every time something exciting happens I find myself peering down at the bottom of the screen waiting to see if there was a penalty or not

Omg JaKevin McLusterfunk just made the sickest one handed catch over 3 defenders in the end zone for a touchdown but it got called back because the right guard farted at the line of scrimmage

So the Qb gets sacked the next play but the offense gets a fresh set of downs because the strong safety aaccidentally touched the qbs helmet on the way down. Now the ball is at the 1 yard line because someone has to score so we can squeeze another geico commercial in. The RB dives into the end zone for a touchdown! Now lets see how many fantasy points you just got to find out whether or not you beat that guy from Nebraska who spent all his time off from work setting up his lineup only to have his starting RB go out on the first play because he got a concussion. Good thing McLusterfunk caught a pass with his left hand and didn't run over a cheerleader going out of bounds, that just won you 50,000 dollars from a website that is NOT gambling

#wtf

So this is something I will never understand. I think 90% of fans (with any sort of football knowledge) complain about their teams PROFESSIONAL HEAD COACH mismanaging the clock. How does this happen? It seems insane to me that you can get to this level in your career and blow the simplest things. Like you said it's something that you learn through simply playing a videogame! I understand there a lot of moving parts and they are concerned with play calling to some extent and other things, but come the fuck on.

If it's something so obvious to nearly everyone else and you are supposed to be the creme de la creme of your profession, how do you do this?

I know Andy Reid gets some flack for this, and a bunch of other well known coaches.

As a Bills fan I can say that at least 4 of our last 5 coaches have been terrible at managing the clocks.

right? it truly must be all the years at Madden that have made us younger folk good at managing the clock

and I've said it before, I'll say it again, in the future the NFL will get some hip, young, coach that operates purely on statistics. I can make my case the best while talking about going for it on 4th down. some young dude will have some young nerd crunch some numbers on when best to go for it on 4th down (field position, clock, yards-to-go all factored in). this young coach will destroy the opposition implementing a fact based strategy. we've seen how easy it is to gain yards in the New NFL - look at Pittsburgh's success with 2 point conversions this year
 
they're obviously not though. they can't even call a fucking timeout right (end of game clock management)
 
Hockey has definitely started leaning the way of using advanced statistics to a certain extent. Baseball has been doing it for some time now. But it seems like it would make the most sense in football, being able to run a play every down based on past statistical experiences. With the technology they are starting to use, tablets and what not, it's only a matter of time before it is common place.
