I don't think he is. Forget who it was but one of the beat guys was on the air talking about it recently too. He probably wouldn't be fired, but I don't think it's a lock if they have an ugly loss in the WC round. Even Berman today was saying that Sirianni will be and was always going to be evaluated this season based on playoff success. And you know Lurie would be foaming at the mouth to get Ben Johnson if he had reason to doubt Sirianni in the playoffs.

Ben Johnson reportedly only wants to pair with another GM Lance Newmark…not going fly with Lurie to gain Johnson, but lose Roseman.

That report was about him possibly taking the fair job, however. Apparently he wants no part of Ryan Poles as GM.  He may be perfectly fine with Howie

Wow that’s surprisingly low

Maybe because most teams in the playoffs have competent defenses. Yes, there are exceptions.

ND may be closing the door on UGA.   Bad last 45 seconds for UGA... split over two halves.

Penn State can beat both of these teams.

At the same time... with one arm tied behind their back!

 

 

Kidding.   I don't have a lot of trust in Franklin to let the talent prevail.  

At this point how concerned should we be with hurts? This feels like we are headed towards him not being ready for the play offs? At best he may only get a day or two practice.

Did Jalen Reagor reenroll in NCAA?   That's a huge drop!

Stockton got a cannon!

People arguing for him to play are also acting like saquon didn't already achieve a major accomplishment simply by rushing for 2,000 yards. 

The argument would go that there are 9(?) people that have rushed for 2000 yards. There can be only one season rushing yardage record holder. Do I agree? I don't really have a strong opinion either way and can see legit arguments both ways. How's that for being wishy-washy?

Watch the whole thing.  You see Mailata and Dickerson plotting to stay in at the game.  With a minute left you see Becton choked up over making the playoffs for the first time.

I can see it right now, If we lose in any game in the playoffs. This is the chats comments after the loss:

Barkley didnt play in wk 18- "We should have went for the record, why didn't Nick let him reach greatness"

Barkley did play wk 18- "See I told you, its all Nick's fault for playing Barkley"

Seen it so many times here, people always changing their comments after the fact. This is a NO WIN for Nick at this point. However honestly, I don't think Nick has this decision to make.

Also wk 18 isn't JUST about Barkley. Barkley gets the chatter of course but there's also a bunch of O players that could potentially be playing 16 or 17 consecutive games including playoffs without a break. That's a lot also considering the last 4 games are against very good teams. I'm sure if the Eagles weren't one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl the decision about whether to play the starters against the Giants would have been much different.

Think he'd play ST?

I was thinking more just RB, Receiver and occasional QB.

Kinda weird when in the game he got concussed he was ready to go back in the game.

It's probably some kind of gamesmanship.

None. He’s clearly not playing this weekend so why take away reps from McKee and Book who will play? Brown, Smith and Barkley aren’t practicing at all either, for a reason. I’d bet he puts in a limited practice tomorrow and will be full all next week.

Maybe not talked about as much.  If we play our starters and beat the Giants then that pick for NYG could turn into #1 overall which could turn their whole franchise around.  We sit everyone and Giants win then that pick could be number 5-9.  You know teams just love to give up a sh!t ton of picks to get to that #1 spot.

 

You're probably right about giving up picks for #1 but I'm not sure there's anybody this year worth giving up a sh!t ton of picks.

Dean has only 1 year left under contract after this season. 

True. My bad.

Interesting that all 4 teams with top seeds and a bye will be 1 and done in the playoff.

Pretty picky for a guy who’s never been a HC. Sean Payton talks about Campbell like he’s this offensive savant. Said he’s the best offensive mind he’s ever been around. Not discrediting Johnson but it just may be a perfect match. It’s not like the lions are a talentless bunch. That offense is loaded 

All these teams LOSING games like this just PROVES Alabama deserved to be in the playoffs. 

This ND fan is pretty happy right now.

As a UGA alum and diehard fan, kudos to the ND program.

Genuine ass-whopping today.

I still want Jalon Walker at LB with pick 32.

Him and Zack Baun together would be a wet dream.

Sorry not sorry Nakobe Dean.

JW can likely play edge as well, a bit bigger than Nolan and plays with a bit more power.

Yeah no. Alabama lost to a team with their top 7 players out. While Alabama was basically full strength. 

Mini Saquon is hilarious.

He'd be an idiot to not want to coach for them with a stable/good owner and the best GM in the NFL along with all the weapons on offense and a young defense.
