First topic message reminder :

To fill the void of NFL chatter between Tuesday and Sunday.

BLACK MONDAY

Kansas City hire Andy Reid
Buffalo hire Doug Marrone
Cleveland hire Rob Chudzinski
San Diego hire Mike McCoy
Chicago hire Marc Trestman
Philadelphia hire Chip Kelly
Jacksonville hire Gus Bradley
Arizona hire Bruce Arians

[GSC]

The performances of Schaub, Webb, Dalton and Flacco have pretty much made the case of keeping the playoffs at 12 teams not 14/16

[GSC]

As an Eagles fan, Gus Bradley looks p.good right now

[GSC]

Chip Kelly will return to Oregon

[GSC]

Gotta think this is severely going to hurt Kellys chances going forward of getting a HC job after 2 years in a row

The extra Nike money he's probably going to be getting should soften the blow...

Why is Richard Sherman such a ____ (insert your own expletive)

The guy is starting to make Rex Ryan seem likeable.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rumor that RG3 has torn his ACL and PCL and could be out for 14-18 months. Hope it's not true

[GSC]

Rumour coming from Fred Smoot on the radio

[GSC]

If its true, a. Cousins wont be going anywhere and b. Shanahan is going to have an awkward conversation with Snyder

[Number-25]

Wouldn't surprise me if the rumour is true - the way that knee buckled in the end it didn't look like there was a single ligament left in it! Also, he will have had the MRI first thing this morning, if it was good news we would have heard by now. It does feel a bit like people are getting their stories and excuses prepared before the outside world is told about it.

If it's true and he misses next season because of it then it's hard to see him ever coming back at the same level we've seen this season. Coming on the back of the mega trade to get him, Shanahan's decision last might will probably go down as the dumbest ever in history of the NFL.

[GSC]

I'm sure hell avoid long term damage. But a missed season could reallyset back his development

[Number-25]

Yeah it's more the development of his game that I'm thinking about. Having said that, I'm not sure he could come back from that kind of injury as dynamic as he was before so he would perhaps have to change his game accordingly.

Best cover corner in the league

Whilst trent Williams is a(insert experlative)

[GSC]

Hes already had one and several others have come back, given rest I'm sure he'll be fine

[GSC]

Ron Jaworski on 975 Fanatic says he talked with Jon Gruden. Eagles havent reached out to Gruden, and says Jon would be interested

Shocker

[GSC]

Chris Clemons has torn his ACL and miniscus.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Big blow for Seattle. He is the guy who gets pressure most consistently for them

[GSC]

Jon Gruden emerging as the big name candidate the Browns want

[Number-25]

RG3's MRI has shown partial tears of the ACL and LCL. Further exam in Florida tomorrow to determine whether they're new or old injuries. Surgery not a given yet. Would be a pleasant surprise though if he managed to avoid it.

[cherriesfna]

TIME FOR BRUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[GSC]

That said Gruden seems to be trying to generate a market that doesnt exist

[GSC]

Bears want to interview Mike Singletary

[Number-25]

Surely not!

[cherriesfna]

Russell wilson has more play-off wins than Matt Ryan, FACT

[Colan (niner)]

Sherman will get owned a few times on Sunday. Watch some games with him up against Crabtree, on his butt every run play it seemed. And he still got up and probably trash talked, will make everyone feel better

[cherriesfna]

quotes about seattle pre-season, user names annomimus

"Unless Harbaugh retires the overrated Carroll will never lead his team to 10 wins never mind 19"

"Oh and also the thought of the Seahawks shutting down Cam and the Panthers offence, you're tripping."

"cherries, put your xbox controller down and watch NFL Network. The Hawks are are 8-8 team at best this year."

"Also Marshawn Lynch has only ever really produced in a contract year. The highlight runs aside, he really isn't that good."

"Cardinals are more likely than Seattle"

[Pr4wn]

You ought to get out more cherries.

[sodhat]

He's only allowed out of the ward for one hour a day.

Haha! He is good, but is he the best? Nah, probably not. The fact he is good though makes his stinking attitude all the more frustrating - he's a player you'd like to like but you can't because of all the unnecessary trash talking. Pete Carroll needs to get a hold of him and get him to calm down before he turns the Seahawks into the New York Jets, i.e. the team that everyone loves to see lose. Maybe hiding his Adderall and Ritalin would be a good place for Carroll to start....

[Skyforger]

Whilst I agree everyone loves to see the Jets lose, doesn't the attitude problem and the Coach's failure to control his players sound more like the Lions?

Unlikeable guy? Because most drug cheats are? (He still tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, there was just an error with the handling of a leaky cup).

Shouldn't listen to Mary Kay Cabot...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Richard Sherman is one of these guys everyone but his own fans hate. It's like Suarez

[Pr4wn]

Tony sparano has been fired by the jets.

[GSC]

Eagles will interview Lovie Smith

My money would be on Hue Jackson winding up as Jets OC

[crazy_dave23]

Russell wilson has more play-off wins than Matt Ryan, FACT

Trent Dilfer has more Superbowl wins than Dan Marino

[GSC]

Steve Keim named Cardinals GM.

[CFCNick]

Russell wilson has more play-off wins than Matt Ryan, FACT

Trent Dilfer has more Superbowl wins than Dan Marino

Eli has more rings than Peyton.

Weeden has more rings than Rodgers, I hear you tell the age of quarterbacks the same way as trees.

[GSC]

David Caldwell hired as Jags GM.

Expect Mularkey to be fired soon

[GSC]

RG3 will undergo surgery on a torn LCL this week, while doctors will determine damage to his ACL then.

[GSC]

Rob Ryan has been fired as DC of the Dallas Cowboys.

Makes sense, hes an awful DC

[JmD]

Whilst I agree everyone loves to see the Jets lose, doesn't the attitude problem and the Coach's failure to control his players sound more like the Lions?

I might be wrong, but weren't the Lions the most penalised team in the entire league? Definitely in personal fouls anyway. Plus they were the most arrested team in the offseason. The Jets were among the least penalised teams this year. How do the two compare? Where is the failure to control the players? Their problem is they have no talent in the offensive skill positions, a terrible coordinator to go with it and are in the most cut throat media environment in the USA.

[Pr4wn]

RG3 has a torn ACL too, surgery to go ahead. Poor kid.

[cherriesfna]

Redskins field was terrible and dangerous to the player, unacceptable

But the hawks too are DangeRUSS

[Pr4wn]

Especially dirtbag Bruce.

Sorry, probably didn't express myself very well. I was commenting on Number 25's post about the Seahawks having a talented player who behaves like a douche, who is likely to turn people against him and the team if the Coach doesn't control him. I felt this sounded a lot more like the situation with Suh at the Lions, than the Jets who don't have any talented players but have a douche for a Coach.

[GSC]

Mixed reports on the lengths of RG3s rehab.

Heard 6-8 months and 8-12.

Though if I'm the Redskins I wait until hes 100% even if I have to hold him out of games. Gotta play the long game with RG3

[GSC]

The new Arizona GM Steve Keim

Wanted Cutler over Leinart, and A.D over Levi Brown, Arizona would be slightly different right now with those 2 I suspect

[Derbyblue]

What's the carryover stuff?
