I think that’s their shot at the first seed, and maybe even their division, maybe gone. Although I don’t know their schedule.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Got the Lions next, can beat them with a one-legged Murray. But then got Colts, at Dallas, and Seahawks.
I think how you define elite is itself subjective and therefore whether it’s 3, 5 or 7, that’s up to each person I think.
I would agree on Wilson by the way. And probably Lamar. Herbert and Burrow are still away from elite in my books. But both appear on a promising trajectory. Dak too, I suppose.
Edit: I would have Wilson above Murray and Allen though.
So really it’s the Colts and Dallas games. Neither are easy. Especially if Colts grab a win against us, they’ll be buoyed. Seahawks you’d expect them to win but a game vs a divisional opponent isn’t always a given.
Except they weren't 10 awful years for Stafford, other than the fact that was playing on one of the worst run franchises in football during that period, and yet managed to leave as the 12th most prolific passer in NFL history, and along the way joined both the 500 yard club as well as 5000 yard season club, and still has many years left to go. There's no doubt that he would have been even more prolific if he played on well coached teams during that period, or was surrounded with more talent as he is now with the Rams. The trouble with these debates is people get brainwashed by a player's historical reputation which leads them to ignore what they are doing in the present.
I'm not saying this due any bias at all, but he's honestly my all-time favourite RB to watch. He's just so good. I've watched that TD back like a thousand times this week.
He’s certainly up there.

What a fecking clown.
Missed the part where he tried to kick him back but it was no good.
Same, without a doubt.
Imagine thinking this guy was the right person to lead a group of people and paying him loads of money to do it.

Bad owners hire bad coaches.
Who will they go after in the draft with their likely top 3 or top 5 pick? Seems like someone like Evan Neal should be a priority to protect Lawrence but almost the entire top 5 is D in most mocks (Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, Hamilton, Stingley, ...).

Can’t believe it took this long to let him go.
The owner is terrible. The second they extended Bortles to effectively put an end to that tiny championship window they had carved open and split up that top 5 defence, I knew everybody in that building from the coach all the way up to the owner was no good. Most of the FO from that time are no longer there. But the owner is still there making terrible decision after terrible decision.

Can't see it happening tbf.
Without him they don’t go deep into the play offs unfortunately.
This Ekwonu guy is fast becoming a mock draft darling, as is Cross. Evan Neal from Bama has long been seen as a top 5 type guy.
But if I’m them I’m just going BPA, maybe even it is the safety Hamilton. The guy is a fascinating prospect.

Such a shame that Chiefs vs. Chargers is a Thursday game, so it's in the middle of the night here. Would have loved to see Herbert go toe-to-toe with Mahomeboy. Hopefully the Chargers can give them a good beating and make the AFC West division interesting.
Car crash from start to finish. Good riddance.
Amazing that he still has 4 years left on his contract. I’m guessing the lawyers will have to get involved to determine how much he is owed. Given his conduct the Jaguars may get away with paying very little.
I’ll be rather disappointed if someone doesn’t use ‘kicking the kicker was the real kicker‘ in their reporting of this news.
He basically pulled a Mourinho to get sacked but went out with even less dignity.
Wonder if Khan is monitoring the Carroll/Seattle situation and could make a move for Carroll. Would be another mistake but can totally see it happen. Best move is to perhaps go for Leftwich (beware the nepotism/romanticism hire), Pederson, Moore, few others perhaps.
Nepotism?
He played for the Jags and had his only starting success there. Not nepotism in the familial sense but as in player+club ties, like Garret+Dallas, or in England shit hire like Ole+United and Lampard+Chelsea.
Christ, I’m an idiot. Thanks!
Leftwich being carried by his teamates to the huddle is one of the most iconic sporting moments from my youth
The Jake Lambo story is bizarre - but the whole tenure was to be fair.
Although out of the bullet points I don’t see an issue with an open battle for starting QB. The job is there to be won.

Ugh.
Personal foul. Kicking the kicker.
Think I posted a short YT clip on the story behind this a few pages back. It’s worth a watch / search.Leftwich being carried by his teamates to the huddle is one of the most iconic sporting moments from my youth
Just heard ‘failed Urban renewal project.’
Browns now with over 20 positive cases, yet no word from the NFL about potentially moving the game. Nick Mullens in line to start aftre Keenum tested positive today.
Think Chubb is exempt from testing for 90 days since he got it a few weeks ago. They should just hand it to him 62 times and let him run all over that awful Vegas run D.

In the US, is this still a delta surge? Or are they thinking Omicron?
