He definitely moved up. The Lions haven't won a championship since 1957, but it might be 2057 before Washington makes the playoffs again....

This aged well, Cowboy.

[GhostMachine]

Well, I didn't expect the entire division to be the drizzling shits this year to the point that Washington ended up being a contender.

The Texans have passed on interviewing Bieniemy.

Feelers were sent out about whether or not he would be open to trading DeShaun Watson for a washed up running back.  Bieniemy indicated he would not, and the Texans took him off their list.

[gunnar hendershow]

There are growing rumors Watson might ask for a trade. His cap hit is low next year so it's surprisingly easy to move.

Miami should heavily consider a Tua & picks for Watson swap.

[Maxx]

Why do that when they could get Frank Gore and a 4th from the Jets?

[Krabby]

Why not at least interview him? He's one of the top coaching prospects out there...

[gunnar hendershow]

Not interviewing him either means a) they're lazy, or b) Bieniemy is already on the inside track for another open job

[LL!]

Does that mean they're interviewing someone else to adhere to the Rooney Rule? Seems like that would be reason alone to interview him. 

[The Buscher]

The Rooney Rule was expanded this year to require two minority candidates be interviewed for head coaching openings.  One of them would’ve been Crennel interviewing for the permanent job, but still.  Anybody not interviewing Bieniemy feels indefensible.

[gunnar hendershow]

I heard grumblings that Jarod Mayo was a candidate for the Houston job. So maybe he's the other minority candidate they'll interview?

[livid]

They already interviewed Marvin Lewis (who also interviewed with the Jets today).

[Meacon Keaton]

The Jets would count themselves lucky to go 8-8 every year for the next decade with Marvin Lewis.

[GhostMachine]

Better Marvin Lewis than Hue Jackson......

 

 

[Lineker]

Sigh.

 

Meanwhile, Goff has been listed officially as questionable for Wild Card weekend.

[GhostMachine]

Someone remind me who Goff's backup is? I haven't watched enough Rams games to care.

John Wolford.

[gunnar hendershow]

John Wolford doesn't feel like a particular downgrade from Goff.

[LL!]

John Wolford as featured on Cops and America's Most Wanted probably?

[Lineker]

Smashing.
