I thought Casey Kasem was dead.

"Hey Sanchez, whatever you do don't throw a pick.....a field goal wins this. "

What the hell was he thinking?

I can't believe Chip Kelly elected to pass in that situation. Sure, Sanchez sucks, but he clearly was unprepared for that game. He hit running backs in the back with passes, and threw several passes where receivers didn't run. In that situation, with a clearly unprepared Sanchez, you run the ball 3 times and kick the FG if you have to. Yeah, this is partly on Sanchez, but at least half the blame has to go to Chip.

They'll franchise him and pay to keep him. Best case for him Irsay gets rid of Grigson.

Grigson going away is absolutely best case. Beyond that, particularly if he keeps getting massacred, I do wonder how long he'll stay around. They have the option for next year, and then QBs can be franchised what, twice? Three times? Not sure about the rules.

Of course, if he keeps getting hammered like this for 3-4 more years, he'll be pretty much dead anyway.

Jeff Fisher is the most overrated coach around. He is purely a creation of the media and his media management skills keep the heat off him. People kill chip kelly for the sam bradford trade but nick foles is benched. He trotted out all his players acquired via the RG3 draft pick trade rex style for the coin toss vs the skins but his team still sucks.

I'm pretty sure the only thing keeping fisher in an NFL job is his mustache. It is a pretty nice mustache.

Manziel also gets the starting job in Cleveland:

Good point. I agree.

In QB news, Kaepernick is done for the season. He's been put on IR.

Funny, I don't remember seeing any media reports saying Peyton had been "benched." Last I heard he was "resting for the Patriots."

Has he been playing injured?

thought he would be a good one after his 27 td's/2 int season...so much for that.

surprised jeff fisher is still around.

Yeah, why is he still around? He must have pictures stashed somewhere, but of whom??

Interesting question. You have to wonder if the 49ers are abusing the IR designation to get him out of the locker room. Integrity of the game seems rather important. Will the Commissioner investigate?

Imagine if Brock plays well in his first start ...will they go back to Peyton out of respect or says Brock is our guy and probably BS Peyton's injury saying it's worse than it is and IR him to protect his pride?

It's really interesting. Will they let Peyton attempt to win one more game to pass Favre if Brock plays well?

What's the diagnosis -- a severely bruised ego needing long term therapy?

No one has the patience to develop QBs anymore.

And the NFL doesn't want to invest in a minor league even though most college programs are running spread offenses now.

Keenum had a pretty good game against the Pats as a Texan if memory serves me right.

In a way I'm surprised and in another way, I'm not. His head coaching record according to PFF is 166-152-1 in the regular season and 5-6 in the playoffs. His reputation has always exceeded his performance, at least to me. He seems pretty well-regarded by the public and peers. To me, he's always seemed pretty ordinary.

I'm surprised at the amount of piling on that takes place concerning Chip Kelly. He's been one of the most successful new NFL HCs that I can remember.
