Curiouser and curiouser....
One more tidbit: I don't view Matt Patricia's move to safeties as a demotion. Instead, figure him trying to save the group. I think.
It may make sense, as he needs to know the subleties of more than one position.. he still may be heir apparent. Or is it Pepper???
That seems a little overstated, no?
I don't think they need to be saved. I think they need to have their potential realized. Maybe I'm just playing semantics.
O'Brien shouldn't be promoted he should be fired.
Congratulations to O'Brien on his promotion
Anyone who calls for BOB to be fired this soon is a tool. Seriously. Aside from the Jets/Cleveland games (which just as easily could be chalked up to Brady simply not having a good day) and the misuse of Gronk in that he blocks too much, he's done a damn fine job this season. MUCH better than 09 for sure. Give him two more seasons and if he sucks after that, fine.
The problem is he seems to "pull a Manning" in the playoffs. But I'm willing to give him a chance since he showed some potential this year in the regular season.
I was thinking the same thing. Either way if it means the secondary plays better next year than we will be happy. I think there is a lot of talent back there and if they all realize their own potential then this group will be one of the best in the league.

Really?!? I wasn't a fan of his going into this year, but he totally revamped this offense on the fly after they trade away Moss and made this the most potent offense in the NFL. Why should he be fired? Because of one game where the whole team played like crap?
There were plenty of big games where both Weis and McDaniels couldn't get the offense to do anything. In fact, in all four Super Bowls, the offense struggled for good stretches.
