maybe but do we know that? what if the offense gets buzzsawed by Houston?
If the kicker makes the field goal, there's no coaching change, so it's a bad decision.

to me the difference there is as Baltimore you still have some stability and safety through the upheaval because of Lamar. Pittsburgh doesn’t have that — downside is significantly steeper imo
Tomlin is similar to me. He's a good coach....but sometimes you just need something different. It may turn out horribly, but is there a lot of upside in staying pat?

I wouldn’t have fired John Harbaugh. Too good for too long in too many different ways, and he’ll probably be good wherever he goes next.
I also understand wanting to try something new while Lamar Jackson is still in his prime before it’s too late. Think that’s where I land with it.

i will have a mental and emotional breakdown
Amid recent leaguewide buzz about Kliff Kingsbury’s future, many believe Baltimore, with Lamar Jackson, would be an ideal landing spot for the now former Commanders offensive coordinator.
That will be a name to watch.

BTJ can't bring it in (great coverage and breakup I don't blame him) but it's insane Trevor Lawrence can put enough juice on it to get it there at all from this position. Type of thing I'm used to seeing from Stafford or Allen or Herbert

oh man I wasn't even considering old Bills. they are REALLY KT Rolster lmfao
When you add in the 4 consecutive Super Bowl losses, the "don't get excited about KT" meme really carries over, too.

I'm Kliff agnostic but I am surprised they let him go. Curious as to what they think the best direction for a Jayden Daniels offense is now.
NEWS: The Commanders are parting ways with OC Kliff Kingsbury, sources say.
Kingsbury spent the past two seasons in Washington, helping Jayden Daniels win Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2024.
Washington is also parting ways with DC Joe Whitt Jr.

thinking about this again and conceiving of the Bills as KT Rolster really does make sense of a lot of things

satisfying run fit from Dee Winters (53) and Malik Mustapha (6)
fantastic job by Winters coming downhill as tight to the double team as possible, puts him in good position to spill this to the free fitter

a lot to love about Seattle's defense last night, but this two-play sequence starting with Riq Woolen's TFL captures what makes them a dangerous unit
Good ID, speed, and tackling from Woolen, but also quietly a great job by Woolen/Thomas/Jones to all work through traffic w/o collision

Montaric Brown doing a good job undercutting routes today. Last one was also a miss from Rivers but Brown broke up a deep over route earlier in the game
