2017 NFL Season Thread

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak has turned down a second interview for the Arizona Cardinals' head-coaching job, a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Munchak has been Pittsburgh's offensive line coach since 2014 after a three-year stint as the Tennessee Titans' head coach. He was one of several candidates who interviewed for the vacancy in Arizona, along with New England Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores and Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo.

Arizona is seeking a replacement for Bruce Arians, who retired earlier this month after five seasons with the Cardinals.

Munchak, 57, went 22-26 as the Titans' coach. He was a nine-time Pro Bowler during his 12-year Hall of Fame playing career, spent entirely with the Titans/Oilers franchise.

If you're a Cardinals fan, it may be time to worry about who is coaching your team next year.  I mean, Herm Edwards is even off the damn table at this point...

It's always a little alarming when positional coaches don't even want to interview. I mean, coordinators can be picky as they're already in a position of power and if they're good, they'll continue to get job offers. But rarely you see a positional coach jump right to head coaching, even when they have previous head coaching experience. For a positional coach to say, "Thanks but no thanks" to a second interview, that really is a bit odd.

I didn't want Munchak anyway to be honest. Would have liked Shurmur but understand him going to the Giants. I hope we promote Bettcher from DC now, but Brian Flores is still in the running I believe. We shall see. It's a great time to step in to this job in my opinion, you have the opportunity to shape the future how you like by drafting / signing the QB of your choice, with pieces like David Johnson, Patrick Peterson and Chandler Jones already in place as top level starters.

I vote they go after Nick Saban. *Maybe* Urban Meyer, but only if (I mean when) Saban turns them down.

538: The Patriots’ Super Bowl Path Is The Easiest In Modern NFL History

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sustained an injury to his right throwing hand in a minor collision in practice Wednesday, according to a source.

A source close to Brady said it is possible the injury could affect him slightly in Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but Brady is moving forward with the belief that he should be OK overall.

A second source said Brady's hand "should be OK."

Brady was officially limited in practice, according to the team's participation report, and underwent tests with the team's medical staff afterward. He had been scheduled to hold a news conference at that time.

I’m afraid so.

I've always thought three championships in four years was the bare minimum you needed to be considered a dynasty, and now the Pats look like they make cakewalk to dynasty status after having the last two Super Bowls handed to them by some of the worst coaching decisions in football history.

The Browns taking Josh Allen #1 overall would be the most Brown thing to do. 

[The Buscher]

I definitely want Rosen.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm ok with Darnold, but I sure as shit don't want Allen.

I'd be cool with Ridley

Don’t you guys need O-line help? I don’t think I’d be surprised to see you guys take McGlinchey (from Notre Dame!)

No way the Bills take another CB in the first round.
