This really is a season of remarkable turnover. Not so much in the volume, but in the old guard being replaced. Pete Carroll, Belichick, and Saban, all unseated within a few days time.
The drama continues in New England. At least two stories a day written about it. Supposedly today is the day.
We’ll all be watching to see white smoke come out of the chimney at Miss Wong’s House of Lightly Trafficked Handjob Queens, that’s the traditional sign that NE has selected a new coach.

Jordan Battle made the PFF all rookie team. Dude’s a player! The article said:
”Battle ranks second among rookie safeties with 524 snaps played and an 82.5 overall PFF grade. The latter figure is a top-10 mark in the NFL and leads all Bengals defenders regardless of position.
Battle is one of five NFL safeties with a 75-plus PFF grade in run defense and coverage (Antoine Winfield Jr., Jabrill Peppers, Jessie Bates III and Jevon Holland).”
Absolute dullest post season storyline:
Kraft and Belichick will meet and determine the future of the Belichick era in New England!
So exciting. Two dried up old geezers will harumph at each other across a table for a couple hours. If only they’d sell tickets.
Bad news - just heard a rumor that Tomlin is considering stepping down after the playoffs. The best thing for us is if he stays and keeps the status quo.
With coaching staffs getting fired around the league, now would be a good time for Zac to look at o-line coaches. There might be a competent guy out there. Not that Frank isn’t competent, he is. But the results just haven’t been there.
Fun game to watch. Mixon had a hell of a game. Dude just runs with a serious purpose. Good to finally beat the Browns. Sucks that the Steelers were ushered into the playoffs, but it sort of just prolongs what I believe is an institutional mediocrity in that organization.
Ironically the Colts had a bad drop at the end of the Texans game that could’ve made a huge difference.
But back to Lucas Oil Stadium. Watching football in the winter in a nice indoor environment is really great. Cincy should think about it.
