Quote from: 02 Park Ave on October 21, 2025, 02:04:48 PMDid the ref give a K-ball to the Broncos for that game ending field goal on Sunday?  Everything was so rushed then that it was impossible to verify.
Refs Giants' coaches in that game were just straight trash.

FIFY.
Both is correct. The refs screwed up the last PI call, the Giants coaches were also laughingly incompetent as well.

Seeing Aaron Glen going to the NY Jets makes me wonder why on Earth he would leave such a great thing going on in Detroit; I mean if he gets fired by the Jets what next?  He can't get his old job back with the Lions can he? 

Same thing with several other unsuccessful head coaches:  I am baffled as to why successful OCs or DCs would leave a good situation for a bad situation just to be a head coach?  Why risk your job security?  Maybe am I greatly underestimating the salary increase?  I mean is a couple of years of head coaching pay worth walking away from having secured career as a coordinator?
We're so far south that we're not even considered "The South"

Everyone wants to be the top guy. You don't get this far up the coaching tree without having the drive to want to be the best.

Seems to be working for Ben Johnson with the Bears so far.  I'd imagine most people would probably had the Jets and Bears being equally as bad at the start of the season.

A non-sports reference:

"As the First Officer of the Enterprise, you have a position of distinction, prestige, even glamor of a sort.  You are the second in command of Starfleet's flagship -- but still, second in command.  Your promotion will transfer you to a relatively insignificant ship in an obscure corner of the galaxy.  But it will be your ship and, being who you are, it will soon be vibrant with your authority, your style, your vision.  You know -- there really is no substitute for holding the reins."

-- Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), "The Icarus Factor," Star Trek: The Next Generation
