2016-17 NFL WEEK 16 “It’s not a lot of secrets. It’s just technical expertise and a lot of butt kicking. And smiling in the face of adversity."

no surprise obviously but ouch @ the timing of this, what's the point of firing a coach with one game to go

it's more "fuck you, you had ten men on the field when Ajayi won the game moments after you punted with less than a minute to go when a tie would have eliminated you" from the owner IMO

reasonable

yeah I guess if any coach deserves a grand "fuck you" gesture it's Rex

shdve had belichick make the call tho

sic semper rex

Rex Ryan - defensive coordinator for the Bears. Seems a very neoptism friendly McCaskey hire.

no surprise obviously but ouch @ the timing of this, what's the point of firing a coach with one game to go

apparently because rex wanted to play tyrod taylor in a meaningless game against his hated jets this week, and ownership didn't want to risk taylor getting hurt

ha his pettiness got him fired

his pettiness over getting fired got him fired

i guess cowboys are sitting their starters and they're starting mark sanchez instead of romo. they claim it's bc they don't want to risk injuring romo behind the 2nd team o-line but i wonder if teams will be shy about signing him for next year if they see him sit. like maybe he's still not healthy?

i really enjoy tampa's playoff scenario:

TB beats CAR at home
DET beats GB at home
WAS ties NYFG at home
SF beats SEA at home
DAL wins at PHI
TEN beats HOU at home
IND beats JAX at home

i wasn't expecting two AFC games to matter (due to TB vs GB strength of schedule). it's not even *that* far-fetched except for the tie and the niners beating seattle
