Week 15 NFL General Discussion Thread ...

Going back to Jay Cutler is the
right move. Well, maybe not for Chicago’s playoff
chances, but for the fans at home? Gold! I can’t
wait for Cutler’s first mistake, followed by the
looming sideline shot of the petulant quarterback
sitting by himself on the bench while Josh
McCown looks aimlessly at the field.
In a related note, while kudos go to Marc
Trestman for the job he’s done this season, can
we drop the “quarterback whisperer” label?
McCown has been solid, but here are Trestman’s
past pupils: Brandon Weeden , Jimmy Clausen,
Tim Tebow , Jason Campbell and Brock Osweiler .
Hell of a stable, let me tell you. Plus, not like
Cutler was lighting the world on fire before he
went down. Pump the brakes on the hyperbole,
that’s all I’m asking.
In truth, Chicago’s play from under center may
not matter if the team’s defensive front doesn’t
fix its holes. The Bears are allowing a league-
high 157 rushing yards per game. It’s easy to
foresee an opponent controlling the clock with the
ground game, keeping Cutler/McCown on the
sidelines. Look for this to become a focal point in
the final three weeks.
As for the Browns…is there a more Browns-like
ending to a game than last weekend’s events at
Foxborough? Coaching incompetence, players
shrinking in the moment, bad luck, a botched call
from the zebras…God bless ‘em.

I was never the biggest proponent of Gary Kubiak,
but anyone else think his ouster was cold-
blooded? Man just collapsed on the sideline a
month ago, and what do you expect from a team
helmed by Pick-Six Schaub and Case Keenum?
The only rationale for the move: Houston realized
the No. 1 overall pick was in its grasp and didn’t
want to chance Kubiak accidentally winning
meaningless December games. So who do you
bring in when you want to fall short? That’s
right…Wade Phillips! I change my tune; well
played, Houston. Well played.

the Pats are
now in the driver’s seat for home-field advantage
in the AFC. And while most of the attention will
be on New England, this contest has ample
importance for Miami, who is neck-and-neck with
Baltimore for the conference’s final Wild Card
spot.
Following a seven-week stretch featuring a lonely
win, the Dolphins have regained their mojo,
notching three Ws in the past four games. Mike
Wallace , Brian Hartline and Charles Clay are
quietly one of the more effective receiving trios in
the league, and though their overall figures are
below the cusp, running backs Lamar Miller and
Daniel Thomas (4.3 yards per attempt, fifth-best
in the conference) have been proficient as of late.
As long as the Dolphins can avoid another hit to
their line in the off-the-field discourse of center
Mike Pouncey , expect Miami to stay relevant in
the final weeks.

Cleveland gets to the redzone and settles for a FG. 3-0 Browns.

Fox Sports:

Why aren’t more people hopping on the Nick
Foles bandwagon? Seems farcical to state that a
field general with 23 touchdowns versus two
turnovers is underrated, especially playing in a
market like Philadelphia, but I get the sense that
America is not bestowing this cat the proper love.
Is it a lack of charisma? Do people think he’s a
byproduct of a system? That he looks like a
college sophomore who overslept biology?
Because, with all admiration to Peyton Manning ,
Foles gets my imaginary MVP vote.

The Vikings win if… Cordarrelle Patterson, Greg
Jennings and Jerome Simpson exploit a Philly
secondary giving up 285.5 passing yards per
game (second-highest in the league)

The Eagles win if… LeSean McCoy does LeSean
McCoy things (NFL-best 100.4 rushing yards per
game)

Now all of a sudden the Falcons want to show up. To little too late for us though.
