So if Tirico and Romo can announce games from home why can’t Stefanski coach from home via zoom?

Maybe bc there are rules in place regarding what you can or can’t do during the game, that might be violated if you are home and have access to the actual broadcast angles etc? Honestly I am just throwing it out I have not an idea.

Coaches can’t use phones during games. For some advantages
I believe that is why Cleveland’s HC can’t zoom in.

The Propaganda machine is at it again...

This dude would be proud...

Makes sense. Thoughts on the officials not overturning that fumble on indy’s last drive?

Really does suck how so many of these games are decided by the league/officials and not the play on the field.

I said it was a fumble.
It was an obvious fumble.
Refs weren’t good.
Buffalo didn’t play well and won.
That is the trademark of a good team.

 

[Cusefan0307]

The officiating gets worse every year. Too much reliance on replay. I thought they were going to overthink it and overturn the WFT TD at the end last night. Al Riveron makes Dean Blandino and Mike Perreira look good at that job.

What I hate is when they have a clear angle, but then they also use an angle where there is no depth perception so it’s meaningless. But bc that angle exists, it’s used in the decision making. Like on punts when the ball might have touched someone and they show the sideline angle, but the end zone angle you see like 2 yards between the player and the ball and it’s not even close. The one yesterday clearly was close but if one angle is clear why even bother using the non-clear angle that simply isn’t providing any useful info?

Watson Would Want Trade to MIA

"Sources say Watson could play hardball with Texans about a trade. His new $156 million contract includes a no-trade clause but informed speculation from a source is that he would consider the @MiamiDolphins in which Tua Tagovailoa and additional compensation goes to Houston." via Chris...

But I thought that Flores just said that Tua was their starter for 2021? Of course, Flores also said that he believed that his staff would remain intact...after this, Gailey "resigned", and Miami "parted ways" with their DL coach.

Flores is looking to be every bit the liar and scumbag that his mentor is.

Tua, 3rd pick, 18th, 2nd round pick in 2021.

Should get Watson and I would do that if I were Miami.

Players love him and he’s just the one who gets the mic put in his face. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the one making those decisions.

If the Jets offered 2, Seattle pick and Darnold they could likely trump it but Watson wouldn’t want the Jets as they need a talent upgrade as well.

 

[NateW]

The Texans should just fold up shop if they trade Watson. For real. Talk about ruining the integrity of the game.

They’re seeing the ultimate consequences of their inexplicably poor moves over the last three years

 

[Melancer46]

It's not impossible, but I'll be surprised if their GM's first move in his career is to trade the team's biggest star to essentially get their own pick back.

I'll expect Watson to remain in Houston until a trade is officially announced.

There never trading him, that fanbase would be in full revolt. This is a lot of noise

That may be. As an outsider with no rooting interest, when I look at the Texans I see a team with a great QB, but not a good enough team, who is over the cap and without the draft picks to get better cheap. So I see a team paying Watson a lot of money to be mediocre for years.

If I could get a possible QB of future (though the shine is off), 2 1’s and a 2 and get myself some cap space, that should be seriously entertained.

I guess. Things change fast though. 13months ago you'd get laughed at for suggesting Miami is more talented. The Jets skill & Front 7 aren't that bad they just need another OLman & a couple DBs. Everyone says they're a dumpster fire to justify their blind pro-Darnold draft takes imo.

 

[NateW]

Tua is worthless if you ask me. Give me a pick instead (3rd round even) so I can move up for someone else.

 

[Eric15]

AJ Brown didn't push off there?

 

[jordville]

Eagles may fire or trade (Jets with extra picks and GM connection?) Pederson after all.

And Howie would survive again. Lurie loves him.

Howie is a Bob Lamonte client. Coaches that share agents...
Brian Daboll, OC, Buffalo
Leslie Frazier, Asst HC/DC, Buffalo
Duce Staley, Asst HC/RBs coach, Philadelphia
John Fox, ex-HC of CAR/DEN/CHI

I'd say Daboll would be option 1 and Duce option 2 if this were the list.

Re: Daboll
He succeeded this year with a big-armed QB who once had shaky accuracy (for the fix-Wentz crowd). Also coached under Saban and Belichick and had success without them. Perhaps leadership rubbed off, too.

Exactly you keep Watson if your team can compete to be mediocre but the rest of the roster sucks.
They are paying him top of the market and have a garbage aging roster and no cap space.
I wouldn’t want to trade Watson but they are going to be 8-8 with him.
If they could get a reset and draft Capital you have to explore it.

That organization will be a mess until McNair fires Easterby.

Daboil is likely a strong candidate for Houston.
Caserio-NE connection.

Jets would be stupid to hire Pederson. He has been exposed as a puppet.
Jets seem like they could hire somebody like Marvin Lewis.
