    It'd be nice if Minnesota could miss a 3. 8-12 for the game.
  2. UMFan83
    Meh. Marinelli and Toub were the only ones I cared about staying.
  3. UMFan83
    I think Te'o should probably come out of the closet even if he's not gay.

    Threads like this make we love NSBB. I knew I could count on you guys!
  6. UMFan83
    Tebow and Te'o on the same team? I don't know if the world can handle that.

    I don't know what ND did to you, but your irrationality on this one subject will forever baffle me. lol

    He's under contract. If Phil wants to keep him (or Marc) I don't know why they just tell him to suck it up.
  9. UMFan83
    yowza

    Maybe he can do what many head coaches between jobs do and take a studio job at CBS, FOX, ESPN or the NFLN. Can you imagine the entertaining discussions that Lovie would help facilitate?
  11. UMFan83
    lol thanks. I'll be in Florida by this time tomorrow though so I probably won't be as eager to watch. I trust NSBB will provide quality unbiased feedback based on the discussion since the move was made official.

    Where or when? It's going to be Thursday, that was announced this morning. Whoops, I thought they said 10AM today. I feel dumb.
  13. UMFan83
    Where is this damn press conference?

    What a meatball

    Given the inexperienced coach hire, I'm sure Emery will make sure Rod stays.
  17. UMFan83
    Like Rich Gannon?

    The interim interim head coach of the saints is now our offensive coordinator according to the score. Aaron Kromer
  19. UMFan83
    Maybe the new market inefficiency is to have short QB's who can't reach high enough to push their o-lineman? :-k Sexy Rexy is back in business!
  20. UMFan83
    The Bills and Chargers are 2 of the 3 teams Lovie interviewed for, and now they both have coaches. The Eagles are potentially still an option for him, but I think they narrowed their search down to Wisenhunt and another dude who isnt Lovie. Will be interesting to see what happens to Lovie if he doesn't get a head coaching gig.
  21. UMFan83
    That blows. Time to find out how good he was.
  22. UMFan83
    Obviously you want balance but its clearly becoming an offensive league. The Packers went 15-1 last year and had the worst defense in the league. All 8 teams that played last weekend scored at least 30 points I believe. Defense is still important and there are teams that still succeed with great defenses, the Bears D dragged a pathetic offense to 10-6 just last year. But if we were going to lean one way over another, I would prefer it to be towards offense at this point.
  23. UMFan83
    If Marinelli stays, he'll have total autonomy of the defense. Even though he's been DC the past number of years, its always been Lovie's defense. I'd like to think Marinelli would like that opportunity. Its been Lovie's defense but Marinelli comes from the Dungy tree and I believe ran a heavy Cover 2 defense in Detroit. I get what you are saying about Lovie being very hands on defensively but Marinelli was calling the plays as far as I could tell. I don't think it would be a huge difference especially given the fact that he's been running Lovie's D the last 2 years and the players on D will almost certainly be very similar next year and the defense was among the leagues best last year. I really don't like that Toub might be moving on too. I would hope to keep the units that have worked well over the last several years as similar as we can, at least as it pertains to the coaching staff. Probably wont happen though.
  24. UMFan83
    I was listening to an interview with a Montreal sports reporter on the Score yesterday and the guy said that Trestman is completely hands off on defense. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Hopefully we can retain Marinelli to keep some consistency if we hire him.
  25. UMFan83
    58 points allowed sets the regular season franchise record for fewest points in a game I believe, besting last years 59 allowed against Orlando. Still can't touch the playoff franchise mark of 54 allowed in Game 3 of the 98 Finals.
