@Timmy! posted:I happened to see where Blake "Pokemon" Martinez worked out for the Panthers yesterday.
No apparent signing.
I guess the card business took a downturn...
It's worse than that. He was scamming people *allegedly* and got banned from a site he used to do so.

Not quite Brett Favre level scumbaggery but not good.
@packerboi posted:Allen eclipsed one Jordan Love for the league lead in INT's last night. Not a good look, but you are correct @chongo, Allen isn't going anywhere.
And I really don't think firing your OC mid-season fixes anything either.
Yes firing the OC was performative at best.
Allen has always been a risk taker...big arm, it has never really burned him. You can make bad throws in HS and college because your arm is so much bigger than everyone elses. That virtually goes away in the NFL because DB are so fast and pass rush is so fierce.
Allen could benefit from some tough love QB coaching.
How old is Holmgren these days? 
Holmgren? Hell, even McCarthys offense AND defense is looking good these days. Can we bring McCarthy back and give him a GM less senile than Ted was at the end. McCarthy would probably leave Dallas to come back to Green Bay. As long as the Sledding King was gone.

Bills are in the top 8 in both yards gained and scoring, but 27th in turnovers. I guess their OC was making Allen throw stupid passes, their WRs drop passes, and RBs fumble.

Same age he is most days.
Also, we're #11 baby!

As long as he brings Dan Quinn with him I'd take McCarthy. Then they can later fire him again and give Quinn the job.
Best part of that team is the defense and McCarthy should get zero credit for that.
I think this is pretty amazing. This is the upcoming Bears/Lions game:
three-pairs-brothers-same-field
Really good discussion on modern style QB play.
Not surprising...their offense stinks.

I will always root for McCarthy because he is/was a class act and brought a lot of success to GB. But his time in GB is over. There's no question he has benefitted from having a top tier DC in Quinn but to place all of Dallas' success solely on the defense? No way.
All of Dallas' success? Please regale me with all of their success over the past 4 years.
McCarthy went 6-10 to first season then 12-5, 12-5, and 7-3 and that includes playing the Eagles twice a year. 62%. This will be 3 consecutive years in the playoffs. I'd take him over MLF for sure.
Dak is playing his best ball right now too. MM may have something to do with that.
The headline is hilarious:

Just you wait and see.....
Stacking success this year baby!!
He’s better at stacking the pancakes

So he's a worse version of 2019-2022 MLF.
1-2 in the playoffs. Regular season success is great but I don't think they brought him in for success that ends early in January.

He lost by 6 points and 7 points to the Niners in the playoffs. I'd take him over MLF. Just my preference.
LaFluer and McCarthy are both guys that will be looking for jobs soon if they continue to lose early in the playoffs or not make it at all. You can have both of them if you want.
McVince benefitted bigly from Capers D gelling at the right time and being very good at creating turnovers. There were also some generational defensive players hitting their prime. The whole team got hot, and won every road game against some really good teams.
Who knows what MLF would have done had Bakh not blown his knee for the Tampa game...not that I am huge fan of MLF, but to pretend McVince is superior is peak revisionist histoire.
Our ship has sailed from that fat idiot, quit wishing we had him back!!
Yeah, the Packers won in spite of McCarthy and MLF doesn’t look quite as good without Rodgers.
That 2010 defense was also one of the best in team history.
Pass on both

It's done more than sailed. It sunk to the bottom of the ocean and the ship that went after it never came back either.
Former Packer LB, Blake Martinez signs with the Steelers.

I thought that was the Vikings boat.

Classy.....I'm sure the Chiefs will take their trophy last year and keep laughing at you.
Teams that simply get hot in the playoffs often fall off the next season.
The 2010 team didn't just "get hot". It reached it's maturity through the playoff run. The 15-1 Rodgers MVP 2011 team was a continuation of it, minus Cullen Jenkins and ultimately Nick Collins. They didn't just get hot. They arrived.
I do believe that the Super Bowl is wide open this year, and who knows who will get in from either conference.
I just have a sneaking suspicion that the Eagles will fall soon.
Black Monday starts early in Carolina. Also, this franchise is a train wreck.
The Panthers now have fired head coaches during the season in back-to-back seasons. Matt Rhule last year, Frank Reich this year. https://t.co/L1yDedqjiu

They drafted the boom-or-bust Young, and so far it has been major bust. Young looks totally in over his head. Yes, he's not getting much help but, wow, he hasn't played anything like in college. IDK, maybe Alabama is a better team than the Panthers...
Carolina is a train wreck. Traded away heir first this year to draft Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. Plus, they miss out of Drake Maye or Caleb Williams this year. I would feel bad for the team but story was that Tepper was heavily involved in trading up for Young. When it's the owner's mistake, nothing you can really do.
If you remember....about a month ago, Frank Reich said he preferred CJ Stroud over Young....I was waiting for this day to come. Frank knew he wasn't long for that Panther job otherwise he never says anything close to that.
Hey.....let's check in on the recently fired Steeler OC, Matt Canada.....
