Go Eagles, I guess. I’m already bored. At least Jalen Hurts put that stupid “QBs that lose their first SB never return” stat, post-Jim Kelly, to sleep.

This is the only forum left where I don’t feel old.

I’m so glad I purchased a Cam Grandy all white alternates jersey to add to my existing Cam Grandy merchandise collection.

I cannot pretend to have an opinion about New OL Coach. Do good. Be good. Protect the Prince.

Pour the Ravens tears into a chalice so that I may drink of them.

Please die, Baltimore Ravens.

Lions are dead. I no longer care beyond "anyone but the Ravens". I would root for the Chiefs 20 times before the Ravens once.

The Lions running game makes my butthole pucker with desire.

I have truly never seen a team as lucky as the Mahomes Chiefs

Will Anderson is a game wrecker

Zimmer is clear proof that Bengals fans aren't "mad because they know the name". Plenty of people are open to Zimmer. Doesn't seem like it's happening though.

Rooting interests are going to be complex today. I said before that "go Chiefs opponent" was priority #3, but "go Ravens opponent" was priority #1. These two things are subtly at odds right now. If Houston beats Kansas City, that would be fun, especially for ArmyBengal and son. However, it would also potentially set up a disaster: Houston at Baltimore for the AFCCG. That must not come to pass. For this reason, since BAL @ BUF isn't until tomorrow, I feel the terrible necessity to root against the worst case scenario. The Chiefs must defeat the Texans to remain in position to crush the Ravens' dreams.

Patrick Graham just seems like a bad choice. I'd pray I'm wrong if he's the guy. It kind of reeks of "he'll come within our price range". I am kind of ambivalent about Al Golden. I have some basic questions about the logic of firing Lou Anarumo and then hiring someone "familiar" whose familiarity is based upon his service under... Lou Anarumo. I'm not sure that makes much sense. But at least he comes with some non-zero history of success in the role of DC. I'm underwhelmed they didn't even interview any of the former head coaches. I know they cost more. Show me you want to win a Super Bowl.

I want to feel confident that the newcomer isn’t WORSE than Anarumo.

Maybe I’m not being fair, but Patrick Graham seems like a terrible option.

Priority #1: Go Ravens’ opponent Priority #2: Go Lions Priority #3: Go Chiefs’ opponent

9 years without a playoff win for Pittsburgh. Loser franchise.

Nobody is permitted to mention Justin Herbert alongside my quarterback ever again. Absolute Dalton-level performance. 14/32, 242 yards, 1 TD, 4 INTs The INTs weren't all his fault, but the pick six was terrible.

I have no immediate objection to Eberflus. I don't really care about his head coaching failure when considering him as a DC.

I'd rather lose Tee than Trey.

Jackson Carman had character concerns too. Learn and grow.

Go Lions.

Former head coach sounds good to me (e.g., Saleh or Allen). They never do that. Zimmer would be fun. I can't help but cringe at his playoff woes, but I am sure that was Marvin's fault.

I’m glad they moved fast. Now get QUALITY replacements if you really are a different organization than you once were. Don’t drag your feet and hire the table scraps, and don’t just promote some under qualified position coach.

Dehner just tweeted that four coaches are gone: Anarumo, Pollack, Bettcher, and Hobby
