![]() ![]() The juxtaposition of styles makes for an entertaining watch every time. I love watching the Titans and Chiefs play. The winners of the last two Super Bowls look sad and just need to be put out to pasture. At this point, the Rams are as good as done and one would assume Aaron Donald might indeed pack it in as one of the greatest defensive players ever. When they both decided to come back, I figured they would pick up where they left off last season and take advantage of a wide open NFC. Sean McVay and Aaron Donald both talked about retirement. I have long attributed the Super Bowl hangover to the losing team, not the winning one, but when you look back on the Rams offseason, the warning signs were there. Oh, and Brady hit another milestone – over 100,000 career passing yards… for whatever that’s worth. A disappointing first half for them, to say the least. A weak division may allow them to sneak into the playoffs, but it won’t help them advance. Tom Brady won the game with a late drive to seal a victory for the Bucs to keep them alive in the NFC South, but at this point they don’t seem the least bit dangerous. Two offenses that simply haven’t been able to sustain anything this year looked particularly bad in a game that finished in the teens. The Bucs – Rams game had a real air of desperation to it. If only they wouldn’t have been so seduced by off-platform throws and taken the best QB on the board, they’d really be a dangerous threat… First round draft pick CB Sauce Gardner appears to be the frontrunner for Defensive Rookie of the Year and their front seven is one of the better units in the game. Slowing down the Bills attack to a season-low 17 points bodes well for a team on the upswing in the thick of the playoff hunt. The stories coming from Gang Green generally revolve around their sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson, but the focus should be placed on their excellent defense. Robert Saleh’s New York Jets knocked off the juggernaut Buffalo Bills at home on Sunday 20-17. He’d be on the shortlist for me in Carolina. He’ll certainly catch on somewhere as an offensive coordinator if he’s unable to land another HC job by the end of the year. This is one of those moves made by a wealthy and powerful person where no one in their orbit can or will tell them how bad of an idea it is. The last person to be hired as a head coach without previous NFL coaching experience was Norm Van Brocklin to coach the expansion Minnesota Vikings in 1961. Irsay hiring Saturday – even to an interim post – is so weird there isn’t much precedent. ![]() I’m here to admire the absolute madness of Jim Irsay. Now I’m not going to spill precious virtual ink on how insulting that move is to the Colts assistant coaches and the dues coaches pay to be lucky enough to hold even the interim title. The Indianapolis Colts relieved Head Coach Frank Reich of his duties after an embarrassing 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots and replaced him with former Colts center Jeff Saturday, who spent this year on the sidelines coaching high school ball. ![]()
