Even in a 15-2 season, though, everything did not break their way. They had one of the worst seasons in NFL history in terms of defensive injuries. Then they arguably had a worse injury season this year. Holmes swings for the fences too often. I didn’t like the Hooker or Martin picks when he made them and now I like them even less. His job is getting harder now that he doesn’t have all of those extra pics, and now that he is drafting toward the bottom of each round. But he still built one of the best rosters in the league and their window is still wide open.

The biggest issue was not at edge. It was with injury and ineffectiveness at DT, and was exacerbated by losing two Pro Bowl safeties in addition to both starting CBs.

McDaniel flamed out at the end with weird press conferences. If I were an owner I would not want him as my head coach. But put that mad scientist of offense in the lab and let him cook.

Brad needs to postpone his press conference and get on the phone to Mike McDaniel.

McDaniel is too weird. I can’t imagine he will get another HC job soon, if ever. But he could ride the mad offensive scientist wave for a while. Stefanski will get another shot because he almost made the Browns respectable despite a ridiculous amount of mismanagement.

The Mara family likes vanilla ice cream.

He seems tailor made for the Giants.

Also, they lost a couple of tough games early — that ridiculous heartbreaker against Buffalo in Week 1 and against Detroit in Week 3, in which Derrick Henry had costly fumbles. Without the Henry fumble against Buffalo, in retrospect, there is no chance Buffalo would have come back, and an extra win in the Ravens column would have put them in the playoffs. Maybe the Detroit game would have ended differently without his fumble. Then they got ravaged with injuries. Harbaugh didn’t make Henry cough up two early wins, but he somehow kept them together to have a chance at the postseason. It’s a tough game.

I believe Blough was the one who tipped Washington off to Detroit's formations or plays in the playoff game.

He is not coming back. Makes too much. And they may have to sign two safeties.

Zeitler was an underrated loss. They need to sign a vet.

It was a disaster of an offseason, losing both coordinators and their all pro center after the draft. And it was a disaster of a season, starting on the offensive side of the ball. Morton cannot come back as OC. Maybe you demote him to pass game coordinator but he can’t come back as OC. Especially since every talented and available OC candidate will want the job. I’d like to see them hire a retired HC with defensive experience to mentor Sheppard.

Glad I didn’t interrupt my Christmas to watch that trash.
