I'm supposed to fly into Chicago on Friday.  And it's supposed to snow, something like 5-8".  What are the chances that I actually get into Chicago?

Brown hasn't earned the right to be penciled in as any more than S3 if he were completely healthy...

But you know Howie would

Are the Packers decent again - I’ve only seen the low ebb games.

I'm not sure about Jordan Love but I fee like if they do what they did last year they have a chance 37 (didn't count rodgers) rushes to 20 pass attempts. I don't think they can beat the boys and refs in a shoot out.

They don’t want to pay him by firing him, I guess.

For all the "Why do they like Gainwell over Penny?” people:

Yeah penny is a terrible blocker and runner. Complete waste of money and brings nothing to the team

Yeah Penny does not have a future here and maybe not in the NFL at all. He looks completely cooked.

Wish our defenders would go for tackles like that.

That's fine - next question would be why did we keep him on the roster so long and kept playing PS elevation game with LBs.

If they dont fire him they can block him from signing with another team next season.

Id love a DC like Wink Martindale, hes a Rex Ryan/ Buddy Ryan Disciple.

A Defense that philly obviously has alot of history with and would be a welcome change from the Soft as charmin Vic Fangio Defense.

I dont think it will ever happen, Martindale like Buddy and Rex has a mind of his own and is pretty brash and Howie and Lurie prefer Yes men...☹️

That is a good question. I'd also like to know why we carried 4 TEs for most of the year as well.

Because Howie gets too cute with roster moves, as usual

You don’t give refs enough credit…

Yeh they’ve got serious problems.

This is such a crap quote by Schefter just carrying water for the team. People aren’t necessarily upset about the losses or them not playing at the same level as they were last year. People are upset about how the losses looked, being non competitive against SF and Dallas, the defense turning into the worst defense in the league the past six games, losing to two of the worst teams in the league in NYG and AZ, and completely falling off a cliff. Losses happen and it’s a part of the game. They were never going to go 16-1. But this team has turned into a bottom three team in the league over the past month and a half while remaining relatively healthy.

Are you kidding?  Only a true genius can manage to trade for a 4th TE that you keep inactive all year, while on the last year of his contract.   Just wait until he signs elsewhere next offseason - COMP P1CKZ!!1!!!1!

They fired his assistants, he's pissed about that. Can't say I blame him, I know football isn't corporate America but if you are the Director/Manager (DC) of a group in an organization and did a good job with your staff you should have a say so in who helps you get your job done. There is a good write on ESPN today about it... 

 

EDIT: DC

The issue isn't the overall record, but how they achieved that overall record.  1-5 in the last 6 games... including embarrassing losses along the way.  And those embarrassments didn't only come against the top teams like SF and Dallas, but against Seattle, Arizona and the freaking Giants!    11-6 isn't a bad record.  Going from 10-1 to 11-6 is terrible, however.  AND, they don't even have catastrophic injuries to key players as an excuse for why it happened.  The reason for why it happened is all over the All-22 videos.   These Coordinators are outclassed in every facet.  And defensively, these guys can't tackle anyone.
