104th season, final regular season weekend recap

And Carroll is basically out in Seattle ... how much he advises the new coaching regime remains to be seen. With the talent on the team and a good runner in Walker, an ideal situation to bring in Harbaugh and challenge the 49ers ...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ANYbody but Jim Harbarf!!

I think working with Schneider could entice Belichick ...

Too old and hasn't shown that he can do a particularly good job w/o Tom Brady as his QB. No, I'd MUCH prefer a young up-and-comer like Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, or DeMeco Ryans. I wonder if John Schneider is considering Eric Bieniemy at all?

Great win for the Bucs JS ...

Eagles were never the same after the 49ers beat them ...

This was an awful NFL season. Nothing interesting ever seemed to happen, and when it did, it didn't last. Joe Flacco finally becoming ELITE, and that being basically the story of the year, perfectly encapsulates what the season was as a whole: a meme. Not expecting much better from the playoffs, but at least it can't be worse than 2018.

And for those who like the 'drama' of coaching carousels end of regular season/early playoff-exits, not much there either. Jerry keeping McCarthy thus Dak is the best example. This, simply, epitomizes why he should not be in Canton! As most agree, owners getting in is a questionable exercise in the first place. He runs his Dynasty HC out of town after winning back-to-back SBs (that very HC actually getting inducted...after him), refuses to delegate a GM, far too hands-on (only wanting a 'puppet' HC, his hiring of Parcells notwithstanding) thus three decades without so much a CC-appearance!

Still looking forward to the rest of the 2023 post-season with basically the same enthusiasm as normal, and this season may not be 2020, but enough an antithesis of 2021 just the same. And if Balt does play San Fran as expected, it's not going to help if its yet another lopsided Ravens victory.

Yep, McCarthy back and Pierce hired in Vegas, while BB, Vrabel and Harbaugh are still available. Will a team give Carroll or Reich a chance, though Reich should collect as much money from the Panthers as he can ...

All these teams looking at Slowik, whose offensive line yesterday committed what, eight penalties and the team couldnt run the ball. Needs to stay with the Texans.
