NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[jdcurt2]

exactly...what HAS he done in his time? how many playoff wins?
he's turned around that team and got them going in the right direction, but i don't think he's got what it takes to get them over the next hurdle. it's not usually fair, but usually it''s the head coach who's head gets chopped. i'm not blaming marvin specifically...but his team continues to come up short in big spots.

Exactly, making the playoffs was cool a few years ago. But now it doesn't mean a damn thing to me unless we win a game, and up to this point Marvin has proved that he can't get the job done. The playoff game that he coached against the Jets a couple years ago was probably the worst head coaching job I've ever seen. Cincinnati fans accept mediocrity. It's just like the Reds this past season. Who gives a damn if they won the second most games in the regular season. Once you get to the playoffs you throw that out the window. They blew a 2-0 lead and were praised by this city.

Bruce Arians sent to the hospital, won't be on the sideline

What exactly is a signature when? He's coached a team to the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years. Signature wins are in the playoffs and those are where he's empty handed.

So if you don't even consider the 05 Steeler game as a 'signature win' then you definitely agree Marvin is average and not taking the Bengals to the promised land? And those who pinned Jay as a HC so early are fooled by the name.

Watching that Packers/vikes game last night, I couldn't help feel that Harvin's impact on the game (remember him getting slight MVP talk early in the year) would have been greater than Ponder's, but that was only the third time I'd watched a Vikings game all year (Vs. niners, Vs. Skins) so I could be uninformed.

Nah, you're definitely right. Any team that has a guy like Percy would miss him in a game like that. Just wasn't Minnesota's time. So it goes...

Looking forward to the games today. Pulling for the Ravens and the hometown Hawks.

Browns said F Chip

Kelly must have resigned with Oregon or going to Philly.

Browns people speaking too soon.

typical.

Russell is about it, man. I just love the things he says and his outlook.

 

[mmg]

What's the big deal with this HC from Syracuse? He went 25-25 in 4 years and people were saying he was more touted than chip?

 

[extraordinary swag]

I knew Philly was always the only legit choice for Chip Kelly, don't see any way he comes here without Vick staying. Foles ain't built for his offense

I don't really get it either. He has NFL experience under Sean Payton and with the Jets is what I hear everyone saying.

Just over hyped. I'm from Syracuse and even folks around here are like

Yeah he turned around a Syracuse program...but they play in the Big East

If I'm someone like Bill Cowher or one of these guys out of the game right now, then I'm calling the Browns. A young and talented team that can win some games in that division, with the right coach.

Got the chills during that the Ray Lewis intro

 

[Maximus Meridius]

^ I'm surprised Bill Cowher has been out this long. I'm also surprised Andy Reid didn't go to the Chargers as much as he likes to throw the ball.
