NFL Wild Card Weekend: Coaching carousels and sickle-cells

[Conrad]

For the discussion about schedules earlier, I looked this up recently:

AFC/NFC East vs. AFC/NFC South
AFC/NFC North vs. AFC/NFC West

AFC East vs. NFC West
AFC North vs. NFC East
AFC South vs. NFC North
AFC West vs. NFC South

And then the six intradivision games, and two strength-of-schedule games make up your total schedule.

To figure out whether it's home or away, look at the 2008 schedule (for interconference games) or 2009 schedule (for interdivisional games), and it's the opposite field

[Bregor]

Cleveland Browns

Home: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins
Away: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants

8-8 inc

Much like Browns head coach Pat Shurmur, Browns President Mike Holmgren was measured in his evaluation of Colt McCoy during his season-ending press conference.

“My opinion of Colt hasn’t changed,” said Holmgren. “He can be, could be [a franchise quarterback]. But I’m not ready to anoint Colt yet.”

Holmgren indicated that McCoy will face competition for the starting job this year. He wouldn’t want the competition to last throughout the whole preseason, but it sounds like the Browns will not enter 2012 with McCoy locked in as starter.

G.M. Tom Heckert indicated the team is going to be focused on improving the offense this offseason. Both men stressed that they will build through the draft, and not go crazy in free agency.

Some other notes from the press conference:

1. Holmgren said the team didn’t talk to former Vikings head coach Brad Childress about a job last year. They wouldn’t rule out hiring Childress as offensive coordinator this year.

2. The Browns pleaded with fans to be patient. Holmgren expects a better record next year and believes their drafts have been productive. Cleveland holds the No. 4 overall pick and Atlanta’s first round pick this year.

3. Cleveland may have gone 4-12 this year, but Holmgren won the longest post-season press conference championship again. 75 minutes. Take that, Lurie.

If they give up a 1st rounder for fucking Matt Flynn, I will not be happy.

Pretty sure Snyder might have enough draft picks saved up to bury the Packers with to get Matt Flynn in a Redskins uniform.

BUT HES GOING TO BE A FREE AGENT

Sounds like a Varly-to-Avalanche situation to me!

Yeah, I made a hockey reference. Deal with it.

Miami plays @ Indy next season, I'll be going to that game if it's not a late December game.

And I hope that the browns pick up Flynn. I honestly think they're going to trade a first round pick (they have 2) and grab RGIII.

God I hope not.

All of that sounds terrible. Hee-Haw is a good enough placeholder for now, they need help everywhere besides LT, CB and DT first.

At this point, Jeffery Blackmon or TRENT would be fine with me. Also VJax Bowe and Colston on the FA market would work.

[Chun Liroy]

Laurent is a FA too gaiz.

[archibaldcrane]

Pick up Trent and Flynn with your first rounders, win the AFC North next season.

Fuck defense.

Draft decastro and Glenn

HOLES FOR HILLIS

I agree with this. I think Hightower will have an AD type impact. WRs are riskier. Jeffery will probably be a late first rounder anyway so he isn't deserving of the higher pick.

Also I would be wary of Colston as a #1 without Brees or another top QB.
