LMAO;

 

I'm thinking Matt Patricia was a perfect example of the Peter Principle. Highly touted as an assistant in someone else's system. When promoted he fell flat on his face.

I guess he's doing some broadcasting work now, and has lost a ton of weight. Are the Lions in the market for someone to keep DC caffeinated?

This one doesn’t make sense to me. Pete Carroll is 73. The Raiders are a long term rebuild. That division is going to be stacked with coaches. 

 

I think this may be the best hire of the cycle.  Bring him in for 3 years and let him change the culture and get them back to respectability.   They are nowhere close and they play in that division.   Pete will be happy to go out and get them to the playoffs within 3 years and that would be like getting a normal team to the Super Bowl.    He also must not cost much given his age and other options in the NFL.  They are still paying I think 3 fired coaches and 2 GM.

but he wasnt any good as an assistant.

its really an example of the "old boy's club."  he was hired because matha ford had no idea who to hire so she went to the league for help.  the league calls ernie accorsi, who was a good gm 40 years ago but hasnt done anything except collect retirement checks and occasional nfl consulting gigs since.  ernie is the ultimate nfl old boy living off his rolodex.  so who does he call?  belichick, another old boy.  belichick recommends bob quinn from his staff, martha hires him, and quinn brings along patricia a year later.

patricia's defenses in new england werent really that good, especially compared to past new england defenses.

Buffalo-KC is a really good game. Buffalo up 22-21 on a 4th down conversion at the goal line, 2 pt conversion failed. 3 minutes left in 3rd quarter.
