The bandwagoneers are jumping ship in Seattle. 1. The Patriots returned to form against the Chiefs because Julian Edelman played. Edelman is the Patriots most important receiver, even more important than Gronk. He is a tremendous route runner and he enables the Patriots to get the ball out quick. That helps Brady and the offensive line. 2. The Packers lost to Arizona fair and square on Saturday night but they…

That leaves the Tennessee Titans as the only team left that has an opening left. Here are my grades for all the coaching hires thus far. Miami Dolphins: Adam Gase: I really like this hire.

Blair Walsh. The new face of “Miss”ery 1.I know most people think that Marvin Lewis should be fired because of what happened on Saturday night but I wouldn’t fire him for that. I would fire him for his 0-7 record in the playoffs. I would cut Vontaze Burfict and Pacman Jones. Those two ass clowns don’t deserve to be on an NFL roster. 2.I’m glad the Texans showed up. Billy…

If I had a vote, I would vote for the following candidates for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 1. Brett…
Paul DePodesta will bring a more analytical approach to the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns continue to set the bar high when it comes to stupid decisions. Owner Jimmy Haslem continues to amaze me with some of the dumb decisions he makes on a seemingly daily basis. I get firing GM Ray Farmer and coach Mike Pettine. It’s a bottom line business and they didn’t get it done. That doesn’t…
