Agreed. If he gets extended (and I think he deserves to be), then it's a multi-year move. A one year extension puts them in the same situation next year, and will turn off many top tier free agents from signing with the team.

I don't think he had enough time to throw it away. Plus he would have gotten clobbered even if he did. The guy is old now. He can't afford to take big hits anymore.

He's good during draft coverage, but absolutely terrible at calling games.

Yes, but he was also protecting himself.

I had no problem with the calls on that drive. My biggest criticism of Rex is that he too often gets comfortable with small leads, and starts calling a prevent defense. He took his foot off the pedal on defense late in the game yesterday, and it allowed the Pats to get in field goal range to tie it up. That said I love Rex, and hope Idzik extends his contract. He's a very good coach.

Sorry guys, but NOTHING was as painful as listening to Mayock fellate Brady and Belichick for 3+ hours on Week 2. That guy should be ashamed of himself after that game. Dierdorf isn't the greatest color commentary guy (Phil Simms is, IMO), but I don't mind him.

Exactly. At his age, all it takes is one big hit to send him to retirement.

If you think about it, he wasn't that far off when he said Clemens would be the best QB in that draft. Other than Cutler, who's had a better career than Clemens? Young and Leinart are both out of the league right now.

Tebow + Schottenheimer = A sh*t show of monumental proportions.

Didn't he say a while back that he would retire when Brady did? If so, smart guy. Doesn't want to be outed as just another NE coach who rode Brady's coattails.

Oakland's head coaches are on the hot seat the moment they're hired. Schiano is almost certainly a goner.

I'm sure Jerome Bogar will get called to Roger Goodell's office tomorrow morning for a chat.

Funny how he's showing more confidence now that he doesn't have to throw to Clyde Gates anymore. Just sayin'.

Exactly. Belichick isn't this savant. He just stepped in sh!t big time in that 6th round of the 2000 draft.

It's amazing how bad our WR situation is. I understand Idzik couldn't address all of our needs this past offseason, especially with the cap constraints. But holy crap are we in bad shape at this position. So long as Geno progresses, with the cap space we're going to have, WR really needs to be a priority next year.

Addition by subtraction.

If this were from Cimini or Manish, I wouldn't believe it. But it's Schefter, who is a bit more credible.

Aside from this guy being a Grade A scumbag, how stupid is he to mess with an NFL player's kid? If he ever makes it out of jail, he going to have a small army of physical freaks of nature ready to tear him apart.

Apparently you can spell Elite without Eli, after all.

Agreed. If this story is true, then Mark is a spoiled brat who threw a hissy fit because he didn't get his way. That said, nobody was named on this as being a witness. With the media's track record, I've completely lost my trust in them to report the truth unless it comes directly from a named source. They've given us no reason to just take their word on it. So if there's no one named as a witness, then I simply don't believe it.

I find it funny how up until 8:30 Monday night, you all said we had no chance to beat Atlanta. After we win, "BUT TEH FALCONZ HAS INJURIES!!!" It must be fun being able to change the rules as you go along. Oh and BTW, firing a coach who is winning with a roster as weak as ours would be the height of stupidity. The defense is playing very well, and the rookie QB is showing improvement. What more do you want from the guy? I don't care about things he says during pressers. I don't care about his predictions or smack talk. I care about winning. And right now he's doing that. And he's doing it with a roster that everyone thought was one of the worst in the league, not to mention a rookie QB. Pretty goddamned impressive, if you ask me. Woody being non-committal on Rex means nothing at this point. He said it himself: "We don't discuss contracts during the season." Why would say anything either way about Rex's future then?

And yet, he's still head-and-shoulders above Mike Mayock, who is unbearable.

Because we have lately. But this is the first time in a while that we're playing them at home. It seems like we always have to go to Pittsburgh.

Gonzo is too classy for them.

He seemed irritated by it. He said it was completely untrue, and that he didn't appreciate people putting words in his mouth.
