NFL 2008-09 Season

[cybok0]

Speaking of the Lions, it was on this day in 1992 that they won that playoff game against Dallas.

Hard to believe it's been 16-17 years since Wozniak could brag about being a Lions fan!

Didn't you say this in another thread?

Wait a minute.......yes you did.

Really trying to make your point?

That's just hedging so you don't have to backup what you're saying, they could have put Tony Dungy in at QB and possibly made the playoffs.

Also, Miami was in the thick of things due to good offensive scheme and great QB/RB/TE/Defensive play for the most part. Like the Chiefs' spread, their gadget offense isnt the kind of thing that sticks around in the NFL, it works till teams adapt appropriately and then it doesn't at all. They shocked New England with it, 1 less win and they do not make the playoffs. The Colts divisional record allowed them to even lose one more game and they'd have owned tiebreakers (hence resting week 17 against a resting Titans).

NOOO...."Possibly" was in my original statement. Hedging is IF I change my orignal comment.

Miami was in the thick of it because of what you mentioned AND the fact that they played a very weak schedule that consisted ofthe Raiders, Seahawks, Rams, 49ers, Chiefs, a Jets team that was not as good as people thought and a Bills team that was not as good as people thought.

Maybe YES, Maybe NO. Which is it?

there was never a "maybe"....people should try a little reading comprehension....

 

[HD MM]

there was never a "maybe"....people should try a little reading comprehension....

"possibly" and "maybe" mean the same thing, duh! Ask Webster.

Bob Costas on his Coach of the Year

Costas' vote went to someone who's team didn't even make the Playoffs. In fact, it went to someone who's team did five games worse than they did last season. Yep, Costas voted for Bill Belichick, and he actually made a pretty good case....

“I didn’t think he would win, but I thought he deserved a nod for what might have been the best, or certainly one of the best coaching jobs of his career,” Costas said. “He loses [Tom] Brady, and it’s not just losing Brady, but also that [Matt] Cassel basically never played. It’s not the same thing as losing Johnny Unitas and you have Earl Morrall. He brought the kid along."

“The winner is usually the guy whose team is the most surprising, and I wouldn’t argue against Smith, Sparano or [John] Harbaugh. You could make a good case for them, as well as others, like Jeff Fisher, Tony Dungy, John Fox and Tom Coughlin. I just thought Belichick did a phenomenal job, considering the emotional hangover that had to be there from coming so close to perfection [in 2007] and losing in such agonizing fashion, and then you lose Brady virtually from the opening kickoff of the first game. There is not just a strategic adjustment that has to be made, but you have to convince these guys not to say ‘to heck with it.’ There must be an incredible level of respect there for him to command that type of effort.”

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I thought it was a fine coaching job, but I predicted that NE would win 11-12 games back when Brady went down. Belicheck still had a lot of great players to work with. What Miami and Atlanta did was just inspiring. Don't think the Lie-ons ownership noticed though.

I saw that and agree to a degree.
Personally, I would have voted for Miami's coach.

btw, who says you have to make the playoffs to get the Coach of the Year ?

 

[Jimbo]

Now that Cleveland has thier HC ....
The Lions are seriously looking at Jason Gerrett

Not sure what I think of this , if they do sign him.
