This NFL Sunday

The Seahawks will probably go 7-1 at home but could just as easily go 3-5 on the road. Their home field advantage is insane. They won't be a serious contender until they can consistently win on the road though. I think they have a good shot at a wildcard berth though.

The 49ers, on the other hand, are doing their best Cowboys impression. Look like world beaters one week then never get out of the locker room the next. I still see them winning the division and quite possibly locking up a bye, but performances like this are scary come playoff time when you dont get second chances.

By the way... stay classy Seattle:

Reportedly this was by Brady's invitation, for Sherman to "see him after the game," after the (near-certain) Patriot win.

That's probably his Stanford education coming through. I prefer these two.

My bad, just saw this.

Pretty funny if you are not a Pats fan. That's the problem with saying "see me after the game!"

Source please. Not seeing any web hits, nothing on sports radio an hour ago.

Found it... just happened. Great work Andy, fire the O line coach that you made the D coordinator. Never mind your offense is 2nd to last in points scored.

I don't know if that's such a good knock.  I mean afterall, some of the best defensive minds have great offenses (Buddy Ryan at the Oilers) and some of the best offensive minds build outstanding defenses (Brian Billick).  If you're a O-Linemen, you know more about the Devensive front-8 schemes than most D-Coordinators probably do because you see a different one every week.

Andy Reid probably looked at his coaches and picked one to be the sacrificial lamb who will be picked-up tomorrow.  University of Texas needs a new Defense and a New Offense.

The coaching trees are very intertwined.

I baited you a bit with Buddy Ryan so I could show this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPK3cDl7Ftw HAHAHAHA!!

Point taken on the Defensive Backs.  I played O-Line and Linebacker in High School.  I can tell you every technique and responsibility on the offense and defense...except for Defensive Backs. I have no idea what they do back there. 

Your point is accurate.  An O-Line Coach should not be a D-Coordinator unless he has a stellar DB coach to call the plays for the DBs.

That's they guy they promoted to D coordinator. Not sure if he's stellar, but he was the DB coach and is now the D coordinator. Wonder if he'll stick with the "Wide 9"...

For those unfamiliar with the wackiness that is Eagles football, they hired a strong willed D Line coach before they hired the D coordinator. Castillo had no say and no choice but to use a D line philosophy (Wide 9) that wasn't his idea. Maybe he loved it, maybe he hated it, but he was stuck with it. I love it when the Eagles self destruct. I've lived here for over 25 years and this team has never won me over, even while Daniel Snyder was slowly killing my beloved Redskins.
