I can't take too much credit for one comment like that since I have been wrong about other stuff. <br /><br />Still, that does make me smile a little bit. I hate to say a team shouldn't have hired him after Crennel (who is HC in KC now...let's see how that goes) and Weis didn't exactly succeed, but it really would have given me pause. The problem w/ trying to hire a coach from the Belichick coaching tree is there is only one Bill Belichick.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-50265108354738193562012-03-14T23:46:19.239-04:002012-03-14T23:46:19.239-04:00Quote"Seriously with Romeo Crennel and Charli...Quote"Seriously with Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weis' records as head coaches, shouldn't someone be looking at Josh McDaniels with a little bit of hesitation? Just a little bit?"Quote<br /><br />I know this is four years later, but whoever wrote this is a prophet as far as McDaniels is concerned. Too bad Bowlen didn't listen.sptrfnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403975568634491162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-91471093303073156222008-12-22T17:07:00.000-05:002008-12-22T17:07:00.000-05:00I thought the Panthers pass rush was pretty non-ex...I thought the Panthers pass rush was pretty non-existent for much of the game. <BR/><BR/>I get tired of everyone talking about how great Peppers is. His sack numbers are definitely up from last year but I never feel like he makes much of a difference in the game. Maybe I expect too much from him but it did not seem like they got much pressure on Manning and even when they did the secondary couldn't cover their men. I am still worried about NO simply because our expensive corners can't cover anyone and when they do, NO ONE on the team can catch an interception. A writer for the Charlotte Observer counted 21 catchable balls dropped for interceptions this year. It is getting beyond insane. <BR/><BR/>The Panthers really made no attempt to throw the ball against the Giants, I know they love to run the ball but at a certain point they have to try and get the ball to Smith or at least give one of our other three receivers a chance to catch a pass. I just don't want to go on the road and play a playoff game.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-31003895646074538792008-12-22T16:15:00.000-05:002008-12-22T16:15:00.000-05:00Honestly, I am a bit concerned about the Giants no...Honestly, I am a bit concerned about the Giants non-existent pass rush. Jake had too much time back there. That said, the 60 yarder to MM was fluky and the Giants much of the rest of the game. If I am you, I am not too concerned with NO coming up. They're bullies but they cannot beat a good team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-9828410817982318912008-12-22T15:36:00.000-05:002008-12-22T15:36:00.000-05:00I know, I know.

I still don't get why the corners for the Panthers can not try to at least lock down the receivers for the Giants better. <BR/><BR/>Not that Lucas and Gamble are better than the Giants receivers but it did not even look close last night. I am more worried about the Saints next week than anything right now, I want a home playoff game. <BR/><BR/>The Giants kicked the Panther's butt all over the field.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-75070781650285406202008-12-22T12:18:00.000-05:002008-12-22T12:18:00.000-05:00Hey Buddy - Our two fav teams played a classic las...Hey Buddy - <BR/><BR/>Our two fav teams played a classic last night.

The Patriots did have an easier schedule than the Ravens and I know Bill would complain about the scheduling difference if New England was the one playing the AFC South and the NFC East. Not only that but I don't really think the AFC East is that strong either. I guess you could say the same thing for the NFC South, so I may not have a point. <BR/><BR/>I have always thought about the Red Sox and the Yankees getting to play against the Orioles and Rays, and even the Blue Jays many times a year. That had to help them just a little bit. Of course then the Yankees and the Red Sox would win the World Series and I would look like an ass.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-49190618439148588842008-12-19T20:43:00.000-05:002008-12-19T20:43:00.000-05:00Not sure if you noticed, but Bill's beloved Pat's...Not sure if you noticed, but Bill's beloved Pat's also played against the two worst divisions in the NFL this year too. The NFC West and the AFC West. Does this mean that if the Pat's beat out the Ravens by one game, Raven's fans can send Bill a big F You cause they had to play the AFC South and the NFC East? <BR/><BR/>Scheduling inequalities are a fact of life in the NFL. It just happens. Bill never bitched about the years the Red Sox made it to the playoffs through the wild card by getting to play 38 games against the horrible Orioles and Rays, or regularly weak interleague games? Of course not.<BR/><BR/>He's such a hypocritical douche.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00086638597582394978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-10776112662313318572008-12-19T16:36:00.000-05:002008-12-19T16:36:00.000-05:00I am not sure he has ever realized he makes no sen...I am not sure he has ever realized he makes no sense at all.
