Nobody wants you to leave. But, please look inward because you seem to be the only one upset about it. If you move it to the other thread, I won't mind.

I definitely agree with your original thoughts and was offering a different perspective. Nagy definitely looks like dead man walking. He has definitely put so much heart into this team and has to feel the weight of the world. I agree, it's time remove him from this misery.

Nagy is being a pro right now, as he is auditioning for his next gig. It takes strength to stay on the high road. There are 31 organizations out there that will remember this time favorably for him.

Since football is the key factor for this discussion, I believe it belongs in this thread. The knowledge we share can potentially help someone. I've asked many healthcare professionals about close contact sports and the dangers of covid19 and they can offer no objective evidence to add to what is happening in the NFL. When you are talking about men in the prime of their lives and in peak physical condition, the risk of death is so minute that is renders unvaxed vs vaxed a moot point. Now that they have almost two years of data, they should have sufficient evidence of their own to form their own protocol outside of the normal scope. IE: is there even a need for protocol in the NFL?(No protocol in place for my son's HS football team, except a gov't mandated bus ride with a mask requirement) Do vaccines actually help prevent the spread or do they create an asymptomatic Trojan Horse to the vulnerable? I think the pro sports leagues are a perfect beta site for real data.

Most of the players don't even know they have it, yet the stupid policy of the NFL exists.

Agreed. My biggest hope is that he is learning everything he can from Jason Peters.

You are correct. It's been called a whopping 6 times through 14 weeks of the season. That includes kickoffs as well.

Good luck all!

Once Vildor is flagged, he becomes an illegal participant in the play. They could have sodomized him without a penalty. That's not true, but the ref really doesn't care after that point...

Two things I heard today. Jenkins had zero reps with the team in practice, ever. Also, he was the only one to get in the mix when Fields got roughed up. He looked bloody awful out there and was the only one willing to fight for his QB. He gets it, so hopefully reps will pay off.

The main difference between Vildor and the Packer guy was that Vildor ran out of bounds on his own. The Packer player was forced out. By letter of rule, it's an instant penalty on Vildor, cut and dry. The Packer player should have made an attempt to enter the field sooner, which is not as easy to detect due to the speed of the game and the referee being on the move too.

Too much smoke not to be a little solder. Multiple outlets say yes, Trace says no. What else can he do? He has a huge client base that includes Matt Nagy and Ryan Day. Also, with the firing rumor before Christmas and the Bezos visit to Halas Hall. It's going down somehow...

Oh shoot, I meant Elliott not Prescott...?

I live in Indy and this was a hot button topic for weeks. What made it worse, is that Colts fans hate the Patriots with a passion.

Totally agree on the day one part.

I wonder how it would look if they cut Cooper and Prescott? Both of them look very replaceable.

If a 2nd rounder can be obtained, I'd do it. You may not net a better RB room immediately, but you end up better because you've raised the talent at a greater rate than you've lost. Even if it's a 3rd and 5th, I'm in.

We really need 3 starters out of this draft at WR, S, CB. Also, I'd like to see a FA upgrade at those three before the draft. This is going to be a busy off season.

I remember this well. The contract was fully agreed upon by all parties. McDaniels even had the Colts hire assistant coaches for him, as he was on his way on to sign the contract after wrapping things up in NE. He wasn't just flirting with the Colts, he was balls deep. I don't trust him as far I can spit. Luckily, the Colts landed Frank Reich, who seems like a terrific hire.

There are five positions that you have to pay a major price for in free agency. QB, LT, WR, edge and CB. We are good on QB, LT and edge, so CB and WR must be drafted.(I'm only including LT as good because I know that won't be invested draft capital this year) with CB and WR being so weak, I consider that a lock. Out of the standard 5 positions, S and OC are weakest and would love for them to be drafted.

This is what Belichick has done his entire career on both sides of the ball. Draft a player that's teachable is at the center of it all.

Gotta say Dalton, Kmet, Burns, Mustipher and Crawford are bloody terrible. Embarrassing...

We are in lockstep on this matter. First two picks should be C and WR, in no certain order. Until Fields is rolling, give him every weapon possible. It all starts up front.

This!

I'm almost certain it's true. The reporter is one of the most respected in Chicago and has a Pulitzer under his belt. Waddle, Silvey, Jurko and Defalco on ESPN 1000 all believe it and vouch for the guy. I don't think he needed a rumor piece like other guys might.
