Yeah, he couldn't get along in Pittsburgh which is one of the most stable franchises with a great coach. Going to the Raider's was a horrible mistake.

It's Antonio Brown, your guess is good as his. He may not even know.

Congrats to you, Matt, for having Buffalo in the playoffs.
I’m still dumbfounded at how this turned out for the AFC North. Cleveland and Baltimore are eliminated
, while Cincinnati and Pittsburgh…Pittsburgh…are in.

Holy shit!
So the Steelers chance for a playoff spot was like 8%, they had to beat the Ravens (they did), the 2-14 Jags had to beat the 9-7 Colts (who were in it for a playoff spot), and somehow __did__.
Then the only other outcome for them to make the playoffs was for the Chargers/Raiders game not to end in a tie, and it ALMOST did! Hahaha, the wife and I were like, wait, the Jags actually won and someone this game is going to end in a fucking tie?
Wow, this could be an epic finish to Roethlisberger's career.

And the firing season has begun.
Aside from the Jaguars firing Urban, the season is heating up. Yesterday the Bronco's fired Fangio and today the Vikings let Zimmer and GM Spielman go. I expect the Bears Nagy will be next and maybe the GM.
As for the Jags, they are going to interview Byron Leftwich. He has done a great job as OC at both Arizona and won a SB in Tampa. Watched him play in college and hope he gets the job if that is what he wants. But Jacksonville is a dumpster fire so hopefully if he does take it he can make them better and get out of there before they destroy his career.
Edit: Just popped up that the Dolphins fired Brian Flores. Did not see this one coming. He just gave them back to back winning seasons for the first time in almost 20 years. Definitely surprised.
Edit 2: Nagy and GM Pace are out. Michael Wilbon will be so happy.

Leftwich would be a superb hire.

How come this time around nobody’s talking to Eric Bienemy?

That is a great question. He has as many SB rings as Leftwich (at least as OC, Leftwich has 1 as a player). Every year his name gets mentioned, but he never seems to get the job.
Does he not interview well? I have no idea. You would think the Reid coaching tree would help him, but so far it hasn't.

Another question is whether Jim Harbaugh will return to the NFL. He got the OSU monkey off his back and made the playoffs. So he can leave with a somewhat clear conscience.
Would he go to Chicago, the team that drafted him? He did take SF to a Superbowl that they probably should have won.

This is the NFL we’re talking about... we know the real reason.
As for “Does he not interview well?"

So here are my SB predictions.
The NFC is easy. Packers. The road goes through GB, so I think they make it. TB is good, but not as good. The Cardinals and Cowboys, well who knows.
The AFC is much more difficult. At this point I am going with the Titans over the Bills. It really is a choice between 1 and 1A. But the Titans get the nod for 2 reasons: 1) They have home field. Less about them being at home and more about not going to Buffalo in January, and 2) They are getting Derrick Henry back. The Chiefs are too inconsistent and they could either make the AFC Championship or lose to Pittsburgh this weekend.
So there it is: Packers vs Titans.

Very. They had to accommodate for 2 extra games. I figured they would do 1, 4:30, 8:15 both Saturday and Sunday. But they did Monday night instead of Saturday at 1. Just hope they do consider it and don't make the Cards/Rams winner play again on Saturday.

Geno Smith, formerly of the Jets, likely formerly of the Seahawks and perhaps formerly of the league was, it seems, pulled over for having one too many.

That sounds right from what I've seen. I hear sportscasters talk up these black coaching candidates all the time, but what happens is, they get flown across the country to talk with teams in order to satisfy the "Rooney Rule", and that's the last we hear of it.White coaches owned the NFL’s ‘Black Monday’ before it even started
Every year this league shows that they think the right way is the white way
In other words, they are the token black guy interview. How degrading.
