NFL 2022

Well, since an Eagle is in this story, I better reserve this spot for the Super Bowl.  According to Adam Schefter, the Colts are targeting Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen as their next head coach and are informing other candidates of their decision.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  Buckle up because the Super Bowl is getting tight.  Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are outdueling Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for a 27-21 lead entering the fourth quarter.

UPDATE 2:  This is getting very exciting!  DeVonte Smith’s 45-yard catch set up Hurts’ third rushing touchdown of the game as the Eagles and Chiefs are tied at 35 in the Super Bowl.

UPDATE 3:  Okay, Money, go ahead and celebrate.  The Chiefs' Harrison Butker kicked a field goal in the closing seconds to beat the Eagles, 38-35, to win their third Super Bowl in franchise history.

UPDATE 4:  It's never too early to look into the future.  I was looking at the way-too-early power rankings for next year.  Are the Chiefs and Eagles still on top?  Where do the Cowboys land?  It's time to see where all 32 NFL teams rank for next season.

Yay my guys

I've been waiting for this for 3 years since my health issues started most of them have been handled so I'm happy I'll start the troll train in the morning

Congrats Money, I'm happy to see Mahomes get another ring. That game was incredible.

Mahomes tore them to shreds in the second half. 4 drives, 4 TDs. That was the stuff of legends and a legacy game for Reid.

[Money]

The troll train has arrived with a special edition ok Dallas fans I see you didn't even get to the game however be happy your police force isn't on the cold streets having to hose down greased street poles (if that doesn't spark a hilarious story idea I don't know what will)

It was a great game I wanted a blowout but I'll take what I can get

Already snatched up my chip gear so I might do donuts on some Dallas fans lawn I know they are around here somewhere waiting for that fresh shipment of snake oil Jerry is making

[Money]

Breaking news Indy just hired Philly OC Shane Steichen as new HC good luck getting back to big game

[Money]

More breaking news Arizona just hired Philly DC seems the team can't leave fast enough without falling apart

[Money]

Even though I'm not there I hear KC is a zoo they may have shut the city down for that block party

[Money]

Rumor flying that Dallas will sign good free agent to fill a need translation Jerry going cheap again with only 7 mill in cap space this coming year just a question of who

[Money]

Rumor flying Denver considering hiring Rex Ryan as new DC not sure what to think of this yet don't get me wrong dude knows football but he tends to talk too much

Ryan hasn't couched since 2016.

All this really proves is that Payton does not have any connections to younger, up and coming defensive coaches. That was one of his problems in NOLA. All of his DCs were retreads and often his buddies. Rob Ryan was an absolute disaster in NOLA.

[Cadeauxxx]

Wow, rough news for Philly to lose both coordinators to head coaching jobs after the SB loss.

Last time that happened for a SB team was the 1994 49ers. Mike Shanahan went to Denver and Ray Rhodes went to Philly.

[Money]

Yet KC OC can't find a gig outside disaster Washington if I was him I would pass and stay get another ring then see what jobs open up

[Money]

Yes Dallas fans the troll train has returned with a fresh shovel

Your illustrious leader Jerry has let it slip that Dallas is considering going after Ohio state QB CJ Stroud now Stroud is a top 5 pick yet Dallas picks at #26  and draft history tells us Jerry won't trade up unless he gets the deal he wants which often means the player will be a reach or bust last time he tried this they almost drafted Johnny football and we all saw what a disaster that career was

My take away is Jerry wants away from the big contracts for Dak and Zeke to clear cap space to find the next Romo clone and claim he's a football genius without Jimmy and built a championship team without him sounds like the ego has landed (mic drop)

[Money]

Ok Denver fans you can breath they will bring back DC Vance Joseph so the Rex Ryan experiment is dead you dodged a bullet there but as a rival fan I'm keeping an eye on you my radar just went hot

[Cosmo Kramer]

Honestly, I’m a bit underwhelmed by the hire.  I would have preferred to stick with the Vic Fangio tree for DC, obviously Fangio himself wouldn’t have been a realistic option, and once Nathaniel Hackett got fired it seemed inevitable that Ejiro Evero would want to move on.

Supposedly a lot of teams are high on Vance Joseph as being a great “leader of men” but his track record as both a head coach and a DC are mediocre at best.  I can only hope that Denver can have at least a semblance of a functional offense next year, perhaps that will help mask any of his deficiencies as a coach and allow him to focus on “leading” the defense, whatever that means.
