Um yes we are in agreement then? Unless you were responding to the guy above me? Also spygate was taping in game signalsduring the regular season over several years. The pre superbowl rams walk-through thing never actually happened. It was a rumor and a non denial from a former camera man that a shitty Boston newspaper ran with to get a story out during super bowl media blitz. Nothing really came of it.

Marvin Lewis needs to be fired. How many terrible seasons, with successful ones sprinkled about the wreckage, can you allow a guy to have? He's an absolutely awful head coach, he should have been fired years ago.

Del Rio is on the hot seat too. He's another bad coach that needs to go. I don't think the Jaguars are a particularly talented team, but his coaching doesn't particularly help them either. He's another guy that seems to be stuck in the 80's with his offensive philosophy. Run the ball down their throats and play tough defense. That's nice to reminisce on, but you can't do that in the NFL anymore, not the way he does it. You certainly can't do it when your defense is bad.

Kubiak is on the hot seat as well. There's a guy that needs to be fired. We're talking about one of the most talent stacked rosters in the entire NFL, and this guy can't produce a SINGLE winning season! His offensive philosophy is clearly one of the best in the league, as showcased by their consistently high offensive standings, especially passing; they've also been able to run the ball two out of the last three years, with a good deal of effectiveness. The problem is his defensive philosophy. When you have three star players, each at key positions, there is no reason to not have a dominant defense. Mario Williams is a stud, Clay Matthews, Demeco Ryans, and they had Dunta Robinson and where was the defense? Middle of the road. With a roster like that, there's no reason that defense wasn't top five. There's hardly a reason they've never made the playoffs. Winning that division is one of the hardest things to do in the NFL, with Manning and the Colts reigning over it, but not even making a wild card? Even if they lose both games to Indy every year, there are still fourteen other games to get a wild card with! I think it's time to say "no more excuses for this team," and make the change. They're in perfect position to do so, as the team is still young, so aging players are not a very big concern for them.

Mangini is another guy that needs to be fired. He hasn't performed with Cleveland, which isn't entirely his fault, but he's still an idiot.

Norv Turner is another guy in the position of Gary Kubiak. How has this team not seen an AFC Championship in so long? How are they so ill-prepared at the beginning of every single season? For the past five years they were given a practical auto-berth into the playoffs, and they still had great difficulty making it. That roster has far too much talent to allow Turner to keep ruining it. He's a brilliant offensive mind, like Kubiak, but a head coach he is not.

Uh, i dont think anyone could possibly argue that tripping people on the sideline is part of the game. Maybe they are referring to the part where that coach is alleged to tell his players to make walls or something?

This dude on TV was like "In the 50s there was this time where a guy came from the sidelines and tackled a punt returner" and "It was hilarious and this is just part of the game, get over it" or something like that. I will never listen to another word that guy says -_-

And I kind of hope that a 7-9 team gets to host a playoff game. Maybe it would get the NFL to base seeding on record, instead of who won a division.

Haha it sounds like something a mildly inebriated Ditka would say.

Yes, I agree that a draft pick would be a bit much for the tripping incident. There's no place in the game for it but it's not "take away a draft pick bad".

Well, I think that if the team itself orchestrated it, they should get a draft pick taken away. But if it's just one guy, it should be a lesser penalty.

Agree with this 100%, but in Cincinnatti the issues go beyond Marvin Lewis. Can't blame him for all the patheticness when your general manager keeps dropping players with "character issues" in your lap. The GM needs to take more responsibility and be more selective of the players he brings in.

Edit: Clay Matthews isn't on the Texans team. He's with the Packers. Not sure if you meant someone else there
