    The last 30 or more seconds of OT

    Romo made a point of it right before that play was run. It was news to me at the time because I felt that clock ticking.

    Watching Owl I decided the Seahawks did the right thing...

    That's my takeaway from this season and this year's SB. It's probably always been this way, but you give yourself the best chance to win with a great defense and a QB that can put together game-winning drives in high pressure situations. Hopefully we can find that QB in this year's draft, and we...

    OL Coach Scott Huff (UW)

    Against a backdrop where a single loss or failure to win the national championship is considered a failure. Coaches only get one chance to coach at Alabama...but be careful what you wish for. The SEC is tough, and the stress is going to be brutal. He would have remained a celebrity at UW with a...

    If not the Hawks , than GO SF !

    Of course anything's possible...but if you get to the SB, you have to win it. Everything has to fall your way to make it. This was their year, and they blew it. They were healthy across the roster, and KC was vulnerable. A handful (or even a single) play goes differently in the 4th quarter or...

    If not the Hawks , than GO SF !

    The Seahawks won’t be ready to compete for a SB next year…but at the same time, neither will they. Almost impossible to come back from that dagger in the gut. This is the part where the roster starts to unravel.

    Shefter: Grubb the new OC

    It's spread throughout various tweets discussing Grubb. It's definitely in the "rumor" category for now. We'll likely have to twist in the wind all weekend on this stuff...

    Shefter: Grubb the new OC

    There is definitely some chatter about this. The fact that they don't have to move homes and get to graduate to the NFL under a new coaching staff who will be given a long leash is huge. Alabama is obviously high profile as well, but anything short of a national championship (and, in fact, a...

    Shefter: Grubb the new OC

    It's a once-in-a-lifetime dynamic given how unlikely this fact set is. It's definitely something that adds to my happiness about it.

    Shefter: Grubb the new OC

    Yes, please. Let's finally get back to drafting a QB somewhere in the draft nearly every year.

    Shefter: Grubb the new OC

    I for sure get the careful skepticism (pretty much every NFL fan gets their offseason hope crushed in the fall...) I don't know how these interviews go, but I'd have to think that Macdonald heavily vetted Grubb on why he thinks his offense (and associated tweaks) could be successful against an...

    Chip Kelly OC talk again

    This is an underrated point. This team is going to take three years to pull together (including getting a young QB up to speed). If we get a young hotshot OC that shows success, there's risk of losing him and starting over. Nobody is coming after Kelly for HC.

    Where did Pete go wrong?

    It'll be interesting to see what Waldron looks like in Chicago. If he turns that offense around and they look modern, that's going to speak volumes about his time here. The defense was the most unforgivable part of the equation. So much was invested into it, and it went from mediocre to bad...

    Who Will Be The Coordinators?

    The waiting game this offseason has been frustrating, but I do really like the process. There's nothing knee jerk about it. You can imagine Macdonald and Schneider having deep conversations about which OC could really give defenses (including his) trouble, which OC is going to run an offense...

    The Macdonald Defensive System

    That’s where I landed when all then went down. I was disappointed with the Ben Johnson development…but then realized that would be going toe to toe with McVay and Shanahan offense v. offense. Instead, we zig instead of zag and get a special defensive mastermind. And in fact, offense is down...

    I didn’t see Pete

    While it's likely true he had difficulty communicating football to a non-football audience, it's also likely that Jody Allen and crew heard multiple times over the years, "all we need to do is tweak XYZ and then we're golden" (e.g., let's fix the defense by moving Clint Hurtt from the sideline...

    I didn’t see Pete

    I think that's fair. Macdonald strikes me as somebody who is extremely thorough so he may very well canvas Carroll for thoughts about players. However, it'd be a pretty minor piece of the equation here. Schneider knows this roster inside and out from a player evaluation POV, and Macdonald is...

    I didn’t see Pete

    This is exactly how I see it as well. But like you said, without any evidence posters can validly have a take on either side of this equation.

    I didn’t see Pete

    I don't understand why people have trouble believing this. It was clearly a ceremonial role to simply soften the blow of effectively being fired. Schneider sounded downright giddy yesterday, and bringing back Carroll in any type of advisor capacity undermines Macdonald, who will be re-building...

    POLL: Preliminary Expectations in 2024

    It's a new coach and tough home slate...but I think it could be around 9-8 or 8-9 because we're going to be a smarter/more adaptable team, and the defense can only get better (and, of course, it's Macdonald so this is an extreme understatement). We also have a number of players who could play up...

    Who is available for OC?

    After listening to today’s press conference, if this is the guy that Macdonald and Schneider want, they’ll beat out the competition.
