Sam Darnold questionable with an oblique

Whoa *

Robert Salah interviewing with Dolphins, Ravens, Titans so far
Posted by assassin
|
How do people rank the open jobs?
Posted by MC
|
I think Lamar is on the downside
Posted by bjl63
|
I may be crazy, but it feels like the Raiders gig is always the worst.
Posted by tvillini
|
Also, my rankings:
Posted by Sammich
|
Lamar to SF for Purdy and Shanahan; who says no?
Posted by Sammich
|
SF, easily. Lamar is overrated now. I'd much rather have Purdy/Shanahan*
Posted by bjl63
|
unless they get a fuck ton of draft assets in that deal SF would hang up while laughing hysterically
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
I started this yesterday and decided most suck, but agree with the top two, particularly
Posted by gvibes
|
Dolphins are entering cap space hell I think. They gotta trade away anything useful
Posted by MC
|
Falcons should be attractive. Shit division. Good pass rushing group. Star RB
Posted by jayd
|
Rodgers to ATL. *
Posted by MC
|
Raiders have a lot of potential...but it's a tough division and as a fan, I'd rather
Posted by OWWDig
|
Not a Penix fan?*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
also not a big Gay guy*
Posted by Sammich
|
He has been pretty indifferent and has suffered like 3 or 4 catastrophic knee injuries now IIRC.
Posted by gvibes
|
Looks like John Harbaugh to the Giants, per Schefter*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Must they publicize their Rooney Rule interviews?*
Posted by Potomac
|
Sounds like he's bringing Monken as OC*
Posted by AintHatin
|
SHOCK the Monken*
Posted by VIV
|
Shock the Monken tonight*
Posted by RSMBob
|
I heard 5 years/100m on the Score*
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
Steelers, Ravens and Vegas also requesting interviews w Nate
Posted by assassin
|
I had no idea he was being considered for head coaching positions.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Seems like a jump, but maybe somebody wants that next 20-year guy. *
Posted by osklister
|
I assume Nate had several more games than Juice over his career
Posted by ijustkrushalot
|
NS was a dude that with better coaching and talent around him would've put up heroic numbers his JR
Posted by illiniranger
|
48 for each, Nate was injured in the 2012 opener and missed two games
Posted by RVA
|
juice got hurt on a long run vs IL St and was hobbled that whole 2009 season
Posted by illiniranger
|
same, I thought these were going to be for OC jobs*
Posted by shua
|
It would be really cool if he ended up in PIT, as long as he doesn't screw it up*
Posted by Chilango
|
Plz don't end up in Vegas. Would hate to see him end up with a poorly run franchise
Posted by illini21
|
I don't know, they seem like an OK destination*
Posted by gvibes
|
ew, no*
Posted by illini21
|
Have Bowers, Jeanty, some young OL, an elite DE. Will pick Mendoza.
Posted by gvibes
|
Fair enough. I'm not a huge Jeanty or Mendoza (as a pro) guy
Posted by illini21
|
I think their coaching this year (OC and o-line) were absolute ass and the talent isn't as bad as
Posted by gvibes
|
I'd have a hard time working for an owner with a hair cut like Mark Davis's
Posted by Gene Parmesan
|
NV actually*
Posted by Sammich
|
Greg Roman fired. Can't believe he lasted two years there*
Posted by gvibes
|
Kevin Patullo too*
Posted by gvibes
|
Pittsburgh, Philly, Carolina, Jax all dropped home playoff games. *
Posted by osklister
|
Tomlin stepping down*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Zac Taylor, clearly the best coach in the AFC North right now, and it's not even close*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Is this 9 openings now? Tied for all time high*
Posted by gvibes
|
This will be their 4th coach since 1969. That’s nuts*
Posted by bjl63
|
Steelers head coaches are the equivalent of Packers QBs*
Posted by RSMBob
|
Can they take Cignetti?*
Posted by UofIL6
|
way too old to fit steelers model i'd think*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Let us dream*
Posted by illini21
|
If he wins the natty on Monday, what we have left to prove at the college level?*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I will root my ass off for IU on Monday if it means he would consider the Steelers job*
Posted by illini21
|
For sure. If he left it would be like it never happened.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Like Keyser Soze. And like that, poof, he’s gone *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Born in Pittsburgh! That would rock*
Posted by illini21
|
Right*
Posted by UofIL6
|
he's never had a losing record and steelers fans fcking hate him*
Posted by VIV
|
That's impressive no doubt but they go 9-8 every year and get boatraced in the yoffs.
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
id want the hell out of there if i were him*
Posted by VIV
|
The whole operation had become incredibly stale. With Rodgers probably retiring and no QB
Posted by Warrin'_Illini But you're right about Tomlin. Achieved a lot but I'm sure he'll have good options for what's next.
|
The last time they had a losing record they got to draft Ben Roethlisberger
Posted by RVA
|
Careful what you wish for situation incoming *
Posted by MC
|
Ok so this NFL coaching carousel is insane. There’s no chance somebody gives Johnson a bag
Posted by meanjeans
|
i mean, if that were a thing wouldn't teams have done that to McVay and/or Shanahan?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
lmao*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
We gave Ben a very solid contract, I don't think it's on the world of possible*
Posted by gvibes
|
$14 mill per year I believe. He's ours.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Wouldn't it have to be a trade?*
Posted by illini21
|
HC at Pittsburgh since 2007. Just don't see that tenure very often.
Posted by osklister
|
Had to happen*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Was probably time. Wonder if he’ll pursue another job or do TV*
Posted by bjl63
|
I bet he takes a year off and does TV next season
Posted by illini21
|
I don’t think he’ll be in that demand. Less so than Harbaugh or McCarthy imo
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
the picture ESPN has for him right now is funny*
Posted by assassin
|
Woot! Night game! *
Posted by aimlessillini
|
Full schedule.
Posted by gullit
|
And that's 5:30 for those of us in the Central time zone.
Posted by osklister
|
Before a Monday holiday*
Posted by reggiedunlop
|
Hell yeah*
Posted by AintHatin
|
can’t wait to see how this game goes over 38.5 now.*

Re: NFL Sunday *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Got a safe lead so i can turn it off a miss the fellating of rodgers. Lovely*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
did you miss the pick 6 after the fumble return
Posted by Nobster
|
Nice parlay W ISDH*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Never a doubt
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Move over, Marvin Lewis. You have some company now. Please stay in Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Will this be it for Rodgers? 42 and no contract for next season.*
Posted by Toonces
|
they should pull him after such a weak tackle attempt on the pick 6*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
and they did! hell of a way to end a HOF career*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Steelers just getting bullied*
Posted by AintHatin
|
Felt inevitable that the defense would break this one open*
Posted by gvibes
|
Blew the LG completely up. Damn*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I know they’re in the playoffs every year, I swear I’ve never turned on a Steelers game and been
Posted by meanjeans
|
Because they’ve been mediocre garbage for years.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And Collins knocked himself out. This game is a nightmare*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Patriots get the winner of this game after playing that shell of a Chargers team in round 1.
Posted by OB25
|
I wouldn’t want any part of this defense. The AFC ain’t what it used to be.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Houston’s defense is legit. Will be no walkover *
Posted by uofi1998
|
For sure, but this Texans offense without Collins is pretty bleak.*
Posted by OB25
|
They get the 2 over the bills because they won the division
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I just mean that everyone would rather play either of these teams than the Bills but…
Posted by OB25
|
Yes and im just saying new England has earned that*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
I’m just talking about the #1 seed kinda getting screwed, who earned it more.
Posted by OB25
|
Agree it sucks for the Broncos*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
The AFC is trash all around this year. Weakest field I can remember in quite a while.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Aikman treating him with kid gloves too. Just wild the standards for these guys
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yikes*
Posted by UIHuskie
|
JFC, CJ. Are you shaving? WTF.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Really need to think about pulling stroud*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
LOL WTF*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Stroud again wtf*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
CJ Stroud…*Buzz’s girlfriend face**
Posted by OB25
|
Man Stroud has been brutal*
Posted by Mrap24
|
How is Aikman so bad at calling QB play?
Posted by PapaDels
|
Wtf is stroud doing tonight*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
When he’s not fumbling he’s either missing guys or throwing stretcher balls. Wild*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
He sort of sucks.*
Posted by gullit
|
He's on the take, but man the texans defense is fun*
Posted by gvibes
|
4 fumbles in 24 minutes (2 of which were lost) is ridiculous*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
No need to protect the ball from the huge man running at him*
Posted by PapaDels
|
If Buffalo can’t win the AFC this year… a lot of these teams are gross*
Posted by OB25
|
Buffalo kind of is too*
Posted by bjl63
|
Don’t see the zoomed in replay of the dong pull very often*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Need the Texans to win tonight to close out a 6 leg parlay
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Their defense is absolutely nasty. I think old man Rodgers is in trouble tonight.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
I need them by more than 3 for the same.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Its a bonus bet too
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Lame. 49ers lose a day of rest. *
Posted by MC
|
Apparently since they went to the 7 seeds, both 1’s have alway played on Saturday
Posted by Mrap24
|
Kinda feel bad for Herbert*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
This game blows*
Posted by AintHatin
|
These QBs are sure being loose with the ball.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Herbert is going to get killed*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I’m shocked he actually made it through the year with their terrible Oline.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
OL is 100% ass*
Posted by gvibes
|
That should just about do it. *
Posted by VIV
|
i haven't watched any football this weekend, but I am enjoying a can of Busch after helping a friend
Posted by complainant
|
Man, i hope this game picks up. It’s been a bore hole *
Posted by VIV
|
There was a penalty Cris. Who cares. *
Posted by assassin
|
Chargers could have tried 3rd and long if Allen had caught & the penalty was accepted *
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Seriously, wtf.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Not watching. Is this game as complete ass as the score indicates?*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
Pats have moved the ball a bit but just not finished *
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Yes, one of the worst playoff games I’ve ever seen.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The offenses are pretty mediocre *
Posted by PapaDels
|
Tirico said it too, but having no check downs is a terrible offensive design.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
FUMBLEROOSKI *
Posted by assassin
|
Despite the slobbering from Colinsworth, Maye has not been very good tonight.
Posted by OB25
|
Hes missed several open throws*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
Collinsworth is unlistenable*
Posted by Mrap24
|
So is Tirico.*
Posted by gullit
|
Again, their schedule was awful this year. Maye is good, but not nearly as good as
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The chargers are just not good*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Either nobody can get open or Herbert is freezing. *
Posted by PapaDels
|
SF/SEA/LAR are 40-7 versus the rest of the NFL. *
Posted by MC
|
Guess the no hitting the QB head rule doesn't apply to the Patriots but few rules have ever applied
Posted by illini222
|
I mean that’s textbook *
Posted by PapaDels
|
The Chargers are as boring to watch as the Eagles.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Greg Roman = pain*
Posted by gvibes
|
Another interior run? No way!*
Posted by PapaDels
|
Why did LA not challenge that catch??*
Posted by Toonces
|
Uh, what was Allen doing?
Posted by RVA
|
Some strange play calling there.*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I expect an easy Patriots win.*
Posted by Toonces
|
glad i don’t have to root for keenan allen anymore.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
A Patriots loss would be a perfect cap to this weekend*
Posted by OB25
|
I don’t. The Patriots played the worst schedule in NFL history this year.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Trying to get some reverse mojo going. Criminal to not get points there.*
Posted by Toonces
|
Agreed.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
What is the expectation for game time? *
Posted by illini
|
My guess is Saturday night*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I saw somewhere that the 1 seeds have played on Saturday the last five years
Posted by GMAW
|
It would make sense as both teams played yesterday *
Posted by VIV
|
Agreed*
Posted by illini21
|
Great game! Love to see it. Happy to see Eagles suck *
Posted by MC
|
Goddamit. Oh well*
Posted by gvibes
|
Go fuck yourself, Philadelphia.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
So close to getting the 3 outcomes we needed to draw the Panthers.
Posted by OB25
|
Rams it is. *
Posted by VIV
|
not great bob, but it is what it is.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
More I watch this game the more I am rooting hard for the Eagles.
Posted by OB25
|
The Eagles were a$$ but had an easier path to wins in the NFC East. The 3 NFC West teams
Posted by Orangeillini
|
They are ass. Smith with one he would probably expect to catch as well*
Posted by gvibes
|
Keep whining about your touches aj*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
What a drop wow*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
And he’ll still manage to run his mouth later tonight.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Clutch response from Hurts though*
Posted by Orangeillini
|
Now finish them, 49ers.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Go Eagles I would prefer them over the Rams.*
Posted by gullit
|
Sources: PFF considering moving MCaffery up to be the 18th best RB after this performance*
Posted by OB25
|
Has there ever been a better wildcard weekend? These games, man*
Posted by uofi1998
|
lol most lead changes in postseason history with 2 games still to play in the WC*
Posted by assassin
|
Yeah this has been incredible.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
As Bears fans who are we rooting for in this game?*
Posted by gullit
|
Thanks Tom for the honesty on the roughing the slider call*
Posted by illini222
|
I think Brady is terrific. Last year he struggled early but he’s finding his voice.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Top three for me now and continuing to rise *
Posted by CoronaTheirAss
|
Behind only Olsen and JJ Watt IMO*
Posted by bjl63
|
Agreed*
Posted by uofi1998
|
Although he would have freaked out till they threw the flag when he played
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
This Eagles team makes no sense. Too much talent to be this mediocre *
Posted by MC
|
coaching is meh.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
I’m not impressed by either of these teams today. Geez*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
That was fun at least*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Would rather play either of those teams than the Rams.*
Posted by OB25
|
Agree*
Posted by MtHoodIllini
|
No doubt*
Posted by illini21
|
Go birds*
Posted by gvibes
|
Cool play but Purdy fucked it up*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
whoa Malik Turner playing for the 49ers*
Posted by ECEIllinois
|
Just added him for this week *
Posted by MC
|
I was surprised to Dawuane Smoot still playing (jags) as well*
Posted by gvibes
|
Fuck no, not Kittle *
Posted by MC
|
It sucks. I love how kittle plays. Everything you want in a TE*
Posted by VIV
|
Indeed. Very likable player. *
Posted by MC
|
Uhhh was that an Achilles for Kittle?*
Posted by illini21
|
Loveland now a top 2 TE in the NFL*
Posted by gvibes
|
Easy now. McBride and Bowers. Probably 3rd *
Posted by MC
|
It was mostly because he was playing hurt
Posted by Sounder
|
yep. Another notch on the belt of that wild conspiracy theory video this week*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
I dunno, looked like he just got his Achilles jacked up on that play.*
Posted by Toonces
|
What video is that?*
Posted by OB25
|
Not a video I guess but twitter thread with some videos and pics
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Yeah this has been a thing for a while out there. No idea if it is valid, but it’s
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Yeah it’s kooky but still*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
It's mysterious and spooky
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Looked like it. There was a ripple *
Posted by VIV
|
Yes, yes it was*
Posted by illini21
|
These are two very flawed teams *
Posted by MC
|
I just don’t want to play McVay*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I don’t particularly want to face Philly either*
Posted by bjl63
|
How many extra points does a kicker need to yank left before he gets cut?*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Kicking is too easy!*
Posted by assassin
|
Moving the xp back is the best rule change in modern nfl history
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Not sure what the consensus is but I like the new kickoff rule as well.
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Doink*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Really want the iggles to win this one. Not the start I was looking for*
Posted by gvibes
|
Erin Andrews is trending
Posted by Orangeillini
|
She looks great*
Posted by gvibes
|
At the risk of being sexist....
Posted by RSMBob
|
SF offense vs PHI defense and SF defense vs PHI defense is kinda fair matchups? *
Posted by MC
|
Feel bad for Khan
Posted by timmer
|
Why use your last timeout to only save 10 seconds in this spot?*
Posted by OB25
|
Wouldn't the clock have run after the 10s runoff?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
It runs 10 seconds but then the clock is also running. So it's like 45 seconds or whatever*
Posted by gvibes
|
Ah yeah that makes sense*
Posted by OB25
|
Man I dunno. If you just have Allen dive down at the 1, you’d still have 3 tush push attempts to win
Posted by OB25
|
Clownshow refereeing on that spot and the TD call.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Meh, did kind of look like he rode in on top of another dude*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
phrasing *
Posted by ATL
|
Having said that, f refs everywhere*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
same official gave buffalo an extra half yard on the prior play and then called that a TD*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
That’s close on if his butt actually touched the ground.*
Posted by OB25
|
lol a ten yard tush push for TD*
Posted by gvibes
|
They really need to ban assisting a ball carrier*
Posted by longsnapper
|
I agree*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Concur *
Posted by illiniranger
|
I thought it was against the rules
Posted by jdl
|
They removed pushing as an infraction. Pulling and lifting are still against the rules,
Posted by longsnapper
|
Are you allowed to carry a guy?*
Posted by assassin
|
No, pulling or lifting is a 10 yard penalty,I believe*
Posted by longsnapper
|
How about swinging a guy by the ankles like the hammer throw?*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
Pushing is one thing, he carried him. *
Posted by assassin
|
Correct.*
Posted by longsnapper
|
Stop talking over every play, Romo!! When the ball is snapped, shut up until the play is over*
Posted by OB25
|
Josh Allen trying to earn that paycheck right now. *
