  1. That was a great play by Stafford there.
  2. If OU isn't at least competitive against Florida they should be relegated to Ohio State status.
  3. Well I guess I was wrong LSU vs. Georgia Tech. I still maintain that Les Miles is an awful, awful coach that is not nearly in the same class as Carroll, Saban, Meyer, Stoops, etc. I would be shocked if Miles has more success than Fulmer had in the post Tee Martin era because he is not a very good football mind. I think he's the worst coach to ever win a national title.
  4. I look forward to Les Miles being exposed as the fraud he is against Georgia Tech.
  5. Vandy's going to win. This BC quarterback has some of the worst throwing mechanics I've seen for a D1 quarterback.
  6. Now to watch the BC/Vandy game and listen to Bob Davie expound on the finer points of "footbaw."
  7. The Pac 10 is better than the NFC West. CANT TOUCH THIS CONFERENCE YEAH.
  8. The Beavers are going to be punished for not putting Pitt away when they had a chance.
  9. This is quite the defensive struggle.
  10. The Bengals had a lot of weird games down the stretch. Ultra-conservative offense, hand the ball off to Benson a ton, and play good defense. I think Lewis might have saved his job actually.
  11. Breaking News: This team is really bad.
  12. Zac Robinson gets absolutely leveled and then Okie State punts it away and Masoli runs over a defender in the open field for a touchdown.
  13. Really awful first half for Oregon. For some reason they decided to turn Masoli into Chase Daniel instead of running their usual spread stuff featuring Johnson and Blount. They're really lucky they're within 10.
  14. Oregon's defense is god awful so far.
  15. He's also been the head coach of some historically inept defenses.
  16. Holmgren too maybe? I'd love to see Shanahan given the moon and full control over the offense, but I doubt he'd take it or the Bears would offer it. What has Mike Shanahan done since John Elway retired that Lovie Smith hasn't? Smith is more accomplished since 2005 than Shanahan is since 1999. ONE playoff win in that span and numerous late season collapses. I like him as offensive mind and think he's overall one of the better coach's in the league but he in no way deserves "the moon" at the expense of Lovie Smith. Smith's been a flat out more accomplished coach recently.
  17. Holmgren too maybe?
  18. There are lots of exciting assistants out there. Too bad none of them will make a lateral move to the Bears.
  19. Are we to assume that Turner is back in the picture for next year? I'm guessing Babich is a more likely firing.
  20. He deserves it after the collapse at the end of the year....I know the D is bad, but come on The D was historically bad. Second least efficient defense in the tracked statistical era (last 20 years), behind this year's Detroit defense. Do you think he deserved to stay on? Change was necessary, and at some point, wholesale change was needed. Denver was below average for most of the past few years (they were fortunate to win 8 this year, actually), so they decided to pull the trigger. They can do better, but who knows if they will. I don't think that the new coach would necessarily help this horrid D, but I do think that yes Shanahan had been mediocre or worse the last few years Well after how much control/money Shanahan got over the years I have to imagine they'll go with a cheaper coach who has less responsibility over personnel decisions. If they go the route of a defensive guru then maybe Spagnoulo?
  21. I think Orton's accuracy issues and bad decision making were more to blame than the pass protection. The protection wasn't great but it was there when it needed to be most of the time and he screwed it up a lot with errant throws. When he was cruising in the middle of the year he was just flat out throwing a better, more accurate ball (take as an example of what should've been the winning TD pass against Atlanta--that ball was thrown in about a one foot window). I don't know whether it was the ankle or what but he never regained that once he came back from injury. Obviously it doesn't help that the only receiver who could get consistent separation was Hester and he and others dropped the ball far too much.
  22. Interesting. Smith is one hell of a player and I thought he deserved some darkhorse Heisman consideration. Best player on the Tide by far.
