    Gruden fired. Thoughts?

    Personally I don’t think he was put in a good position to succeed. I really doubt any other coach would have done much better than Gruden did.

    What do you guys think?

    I missed the entire game unfortunately.

    So Detroit24....you like the Bills? If so, I’m happy for you. You guys have struggled for a long time

    Something had to happen, but as long as Bruce is acting as Dan Snyder's puppet I don't really think any coach has a chance at succeeding

    I think it's the first step, now Bruce Allen needs to go

    I love my Redskins, but the organization is in the shitter and has been since 1999.

    Hopefully, whoever the brand new coach is next year can turn this team around and rebuild, but it's going to take longer than a couple of years to do so

    The cowboys didn’t move the ball with “ease” the first half lol They were completely shut out. They got beat by a better team. And I agree with Shannon this morning, Zeke needs more carries.

    Saints or the Packers are winning the Super Bowl.
    I could see packers beating the saints this year. And with Jones basically a receiver too, it’s going to be hard to cover all the weapons. Against any defense.

    They had just as much total yards as the Packers did at half time. Every drive in the first half we got the ball to at least the 50. We continuously shot ourselves in the foot with stupid mistakes which put us in a hole early on. You can’t run the ball when you’re down 4 possessions late in the 3rd quarter.

    I unfortunately inherited the love for the bills from older siblings...who grew up watching them in late 80’s - early 90’s...so I became a fan

    There has been couple times in the last 20 years they started 4-1 and had horrendous ends to the season....

    Hoping this doesn’t happen again...they get Miami/Washington after their bye so they should win...but we will see what happens

    ...
    What do you think of your Vikings? The nfc is wide open in my opinion...your defense is solid, running game is solid but can Kirk Cousins step up? Do you think you guys trade Diggs? After all his talk about not getting enough balls....

    What do you guys think of Dwayne Haskins? Coach definitely didn’t have confidence to throw him in the fire yet...whoever Redskins hire will have a big decision to make too...keep Haskins? Or draft another QB since you probably be drafting in Top 5

    Might be another josh Rosen situation....

    I’m sure the New England patriots or another big team will come calling to trade for OL Trent Williams...he would def help protect any rookie QB otherwise

    You have some truth to this. But they shouldn’t of panicked early on the game and ran the ball more imo. I’d maybe give Pollard more carries, if Zeke seems to be struggling tbh It’d shake the defense up more.

    Oh yeah I wanted to ask, in your serious honest opinion, I’m thinking about trading Odell for Cooper. It seems every game Dak at least gives cooper like 100 yards. To where I’m worried idk if Odell fits the Browns offense and Baker isn’t the type of qb to throw a deep bowl to Odell. Do you think Cooper will continue getting consistent receptions? Him and Dak really click amazing together tbh.

    And idc who’s coaching this redskins team. They aren’t going to do much better. I agree with benching Haskins for now. I think he has some potential. Maybe the last few games of this year start him to get a few games after learning the play book and get used to nfl speed. They need a good target for him next year. It doesn’t hurt young qb’s to sit behind a more experienced qb for a year or 2. Especially if you’re offense is taking a beating. No use getting your future qb hurt.

    Holy h--- does Baker s---. Ik he was bad, but he’s honestly terrible. I would seriously consider maybe giving their backup 1st team reps and see if he can throw over a 10 yard pass better than Baker. Like Colin said, Baker can’t throw a ball over 10 yards that’s consistent. While they can possibly win the division with all the Steelers injuries. He better at least hit Odell on a couple balls to secure my fantasy win.

    And why not come out running the ball with chubbs an elite running back. And just throw when you need to. The formula worked for them last week.

    Gruden gone does not make me feel any better or hopeful. The problems are in the front office. Grudens time was up though but he would of been my 3rd choice after Allen and Mandusky.

    Haskins need to be out there weather he is ready or not. He needs to learn and we will have plenty of time to evaluate him.The only reason he isnt is because they are delusional and probaly think theyre not out of the playoff hunt yet.

    Coleman healthy and looking like his old self really explosive. So glad he’s looking good because I have him on my bench in a few leagues. He’s a back that can do it all on offense. 49ers are using him the right way. He’s an amazing athlete.

    Odell sucks...had high expectations for him...made a trade for him in fantasy...needed 6pts...had 5 and then goes backwards and fumbles lol

    He is officially a WR2 maybe... WR3 by end of the year in fantasy

    Especially with this offensive line

    This is what I exactly predicted, at the beginning of the year. I said mid year when Odell doesn’t have the stats he wants he’ll throw one of fits. Eventually sit out the rest of the season. He never wanted to play for the browns and he’ll use that as an excuse and demand being traded in the off season. Which I can’t really blame him, who the h--- wants to play with the browns with the worst starting qb in the league.
    And this is a reason I’m trying to trade him in one league. h--- im to the point I’ll give Odell for Cooper.

    You’re not the only one suffering. I only needed like 5 or 6 last week. And he got only 3 or 4 points. Trade him before he has a meltdown and sits out the rest of the season.

    Nothing was wrong with their approach. Dak averaged 10 yards per pass attempt. We moved the ball in the air with ease. The defense was just atrocious & offense made too many mistakes.

    I give Dak props for not quitting after the first half. He could have easily said screw it, we lost. I just want the game to be over. He actually went out there and tried making the game semi close. If that were Big Ben, he wouldn’t have given a s--- about the 2nd half. They played a better team “that night.” We’ll see if the packers can stay consistent. And like I said before, it’s good to play some good teams for the cowboys so you’re ready for playoff caliber teams when ready. I’m just surprised how d--- good Cooper is for the Cowboys. I was starting to believe he was a bust when on the raiders, at one point.

    Cooper is really good, his drops k--- us though. They always seem to come at the worst possible time. His drop that was picked off in the 1st Q vs the Packers was game changing. If he catches that, we probably score a TD on that drive & who knows how the rest of the game plays out.

    Dak was a mixed bag Sunday. Very Jameis Winston-esque performance from him which is weird. He’s never been a volatile QB. It was some of the best football i’ve ever seen Dak play mixed with some of worst. I’m happy he’s taking more shots down the field though. Cowboys have one of the best passing offenses in the league right now. These last two weeks, we’ve gotten in our own way & loss + the defense hasn’t been good.
