    NFL Ratings Are Down 2.2%

    I'm not surprised. Lots of people have cut cable and the streaming options are hilariously expensive. The NFL has an accessibility problem when it comes to streaming.

    MacDonald riding with Geno

    I'm right there with you, the guy makes a lot of unforced errors, even with procedural stuff. Things that a veteran should have down. In many ways he's a lot like Wilson, in that he's good at specific things, but bankrupt in others. Geno isn't elite, never will be -- what is worse is every year...

    Best bridge QB for 2025

    At this point let Geno play out his contract and let him walk at the end of it. I don't think signing him to an extension makes much sense at current QB market rates. He's not worth it. What Geno Smith offers is a purgatory. He's good enough to keep you from being a losing team, not good enough...

    Bears to interview Pete Carroll

    Pete Carroll needs to hang it up, the game has passed the man by. Seattle flirted with having historically bad defenses his last few years. He hasn't built a top 10 defense since 2016, which is supposed to be his specialty. MacDonald came in here and immediately catapulted the defense from 30th...

    Next offseason is going to be revolutionary

    Yeah, unless he gets another bowl he’s on the outside looking in. The past few years and lack of post season success after the LOB left really hurt him.

    Will Steelers want Wilson back?

    One of the issues with Fields is his deep game is practically non existent. It's why Russell Wilson was put in over Fields, he can stretch the field and really exploit the play action passes. Wilson was making much more difficult throws and it shows in advanced stats. His Y/A was way higher than...

    Next offseason is going to be revolutionary

    He also traded way more than he should've for Charlie Whitehurst, Howell, traded for Lock and signed Flynn to a large contract. He seems to prefer going after value propositions above all else. We've really only drafted one QB while he's been here.

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    That is the kind of thing you can get away with the the NCAA, especially with a wider field and slower athletes. A lot of times I found myself thinking that Grubb looked like he had a hard time adjusting to the size of an NFL field. His play calls made a lot more sense if you looked at it from...

    QB next year

    The secret is a good dose of luck and an ideal situation. Most of the time it ends up in sadness or signing Ryan Fitzpatrick the every other year that he's a free agent. Which, come to thinking of it I think Wilson is this generations Ryan Fitzpatrick at this juncture in his career.

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    I agree with you here. Geno has made it known that he wants a new contract, several times in fact just this year. He whispered in the offseason that he is looking for a contract and during the regular season he's said the same multiple times. He is for sure making business decisions. He looks...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    Oh they're for sure working together in some capacity, you have no argument from me there. I even gave an example of Knight being drafted because MacDonald really wanted him. As far as QB goes, that one is difficult. Both their jobs will hedge on what is done with that position. Even with the...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    I'm saying he could bring a similar dynamic into his game. Josh Allen is one of the best QBs in the NFL, the guy has it all -- especially since he reined in his turnovers. I'm not saying Geno will be Josh Allen. What I am saying, is he could pull off some similar things. That doesn't mean...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    I can't comment on their working relationship. Who knows how close Schneider and MacDonald are. What I do know, is when we look at the power hierarchy -- MacDonald has no say on things. MacDonald can bench people, but he cannot cut, nor can he trade, nor can he be the person to pull the trigger...

    Grubb gone, Geno?

    Burrows, Stafford, Goff, Rodgers, Prescott, Mayfield, Carr, Herbert, so on and so forth are all pocket passers and they did pretty darn good this season. You're definitely right. The most frustrating thing about our pocket passer is the fact that Geno is actually very athletic. Back at the...

    Geno gets paid today ....

    We also have to remember one thing here; Mike MacDonald has little say over the personel. Carroll was president of football operations here, a position usually reserved for GMs. Mike MacDonald is your regular joe HC. He doesn't have any control over who Schneider signs, brings in, cuts, etc...

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Depends. A big part of structuring an NFL offense is coming up with blocking schemes for both passing and run blocking. The offensive line not playing good might not necessarily be a Huff issue. It could've been a Grubb issue all along. How an offense structures it's presnap, blocking schemes...

    LB Ernest Jones talks about his Future

    MacDonald's defensive scheme is very complex. I remember Raven fans saying it will take 1-2 years before everything starts gelling in that system. I'm not surprised one bit that he doesn't have it down yet, especially since he was added during the regular season. What is exciting about this is...

    New OC options

    A thought just came to me, Chip Kelly has also been vying for an NFL OC position. He's had success in the NFL with his offenses and he's recently taken a more hard nose approach with his offenses. His issues before was his usage of hurry up to the detriment of his defenses. That hasn't been him...

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    I think he wants a balanced attack. Look at where he comes from, he's spent his whole career with the Harbaughs. He came up around Greg Roman types.

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Pete Carroll's issue is he hired garbage coordinators. Bevell, Bates and Waldron are either not coaching or are positional coaches. The only guy still coaching as an OC is Schottenheimer. Carroll's issues also were amplified by having a QB that couldn't play within a proper system. Everywhere...
