NFL News, Rumors and Musings

Have the day off so I am just scrolling through the news and looking at some things to look forward to: Cameron Brate, Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Tyler Eifert all have the possibility of hitting the open market so we can only hope teams with young white QBs try to sign them as they would provide reliable targets and security blankets.

I also found this to be extremely funny and I hope Gase/Douglas do not re-sign this world class *******. They need to build a solid locker room around Darnold. I think Tannehill17 can at least vouch for me when I say Gase is not as bad as he is made out to be. His sumo cleansing in Miami was a breath of fresh air. He also seems reluctant on overpaid, overrated RB LeVeon Bell. They have a solid number of draft picks - 1st round, 2nd, 2 in the third, one in the 4th, 5th and 6th. They need to build an o-line around Darnold.

Impending free agent Robby Anderson has no plans to give the Jets a hometown discount.
Headed for unrestricted free agency, Anderson fully plans on exploring the market. "You got to talk to my agent," said Anderson Sunday when asked if he'd take less money to return to New York. "I don’t think that makes sense." The 26-year-old sounded somewhat bitter about how his contract year panned out, expressing that he simply "played the cards [he] was dealt." Anderson's final 2019 numbers weren't anything to write home about (52-777-5), though he flashed down the stretch with touchdowns in four of his final seven games. The fourth-year field-stretcher is reportedly seeking more than $10 million annually on his next deal.

A team would be making a mistake to give this guy a 10 million plus contract. He's not worth it.

Gentleman, not sure if Lonsman** Bruce Allen is Caste slut or not. I always saw him as a "yes man" for Dan Snyder, who makes every major decision behind the curtain. But just for the record, I believe former NFL quarterback Doug Williams has run the Redskins draft the last several years. At least that's the impression the media puts forth. A quick Net search will show dozens of articles that confirm this.

I remember back in the mid 1990's Williams raised quite a stink when his Alma-Mater Grambling played Southern and both teams started Jewish quarterbacks, that DWF's would consider "white". Soon after, Grambling legend Eddie Robinson was ousted as head coach and Williams replaced him as head coach?

Anyhow, considering Williams runs the draft, it would seem amazing the Redskins draft any whites at Caste positions? Actually, give Doug some credit, he's much fairer to whites at Caste positions than a lot white, Shabbos Goy GM's -- like the @sshole in Cleveland and several others.

Leo, impression I got, was Williams respected Jay Gruden's input. However, quite a few of the whites Jay pushed for, Williams wound up drafting in latter rounds. For example, I believe Gruden was thinking about drafting Trey Quinn in round 4, but Williams said "wait" and they actually got him with the last pick in round 7. I assume similar things happened with other whites at Caste positions -- Williams selected them a round or 2 (or 3 in Quinn's case) after Gruden wanted them. And in most cases they proved to be very good to decent moves for Williams.


**Bruce Allen is the son of legendary Redskins coach George Allen, who might've coach the L.A. Rams before that? Don't remember Allen as a NFL coach (and don't want to look it up), but I believe that is true. If so, Bruce going from Washington to L.A. would be fitting?....Anyway, George Allen (NFL coach) was the quintessential WASP married to a Jewish woman. I know this, because George Allen Jr. was a U.S. Senator (R) from Virginia (up until 2009) and often brought up his Jewish side. This was weird, as the Jewish media always hounded him due to the fact he allegedly kept a Confederate Flag in his Dorm room during his college years? Hey, at least he never wore black face, like Ralph Northam?

Allen coached the LA Rams when they had the Fearsome Foursome with Roman Gabriel at qb, those teams could never get over the hump and lost in the playoffs to eventual NFL Champions Green Bay and Minnesota.

He is one of the few hall of fame coaches that never won anything in the playoffs although his Redskins team lost in Super Bowl VII to the Dolphins and scored their only points on this infamous gaffe.........

Here's Weenieworld at its worst. What exactly is meant by "Trubisky-level talents"? White quarterbacks? Second overall draft picks? The a-holes who write for this hate site are despicable.

Bears fired OC Mark Helfrich.
The scapegoating has begun in Chicago, with OL coach Harry Hiestand, TEs coach Kevin Gilbride and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo also being handed their walking papers. Helfrich's ouster will have no tangible effect on the Bears' offense. This is coach Matt Nagy's show. At best, Nagy will find a better sounding board. The Bears' 2020 fortunes will hinge entirely on whether fourth-year starter Mitchell Trubisky can make any progress whatsoever. The history of Trubisky-level talents suggests he won't.

Weenieworld is godawful and they make plenty of factual mistakes too outside of their cucky analysis.

Dorsey was just canned and he went out fighting, supposedly he could have kept his job if he agreed to be neutered, he liked being a stallion not a gelding and that was it......https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/1815/john-dorsey

Dorsey is the ultimate brash pecker head who came riding in on his caste horse to exultations from every corner of the media. Genius they said as he nabbed OBJ etc. "Oh they have talent now" proclaimed the fawning media but the whole thing predictably fell apart which I and others here forecasted. Given this league this prick will likely show up elsewhere but I would hope not and that a lesson is learned? I doubt it because new Redskins HC Ron Rivera is contemplating hiring Jack Del Rio as his defensive coordinator.

Rivera oversaw both CM and Luke Kuechly so I will always give him some slack but he rarely supplemented these players with other white "stars." Except for that Super Bowl year where they brought in DE Jared Allen he never gave Luke much white help on defense and that came to a huge head this season.

I believe that Jags HC Doug Marrone will return so the initial reports were wrong. Without Coughlin around I guess we should suspend judgement for one more year. He did play UDFA Michael Walker as their main KR half way through the season but Walker missed the last game due to an injury.

I actually like the Cowboys HC Jason Garrett but I know he will be ousted. Is it his fault his QB is just an average player at the end of the day? Will someone pick him up?

Also looks like McCarthy is getting a lot of feels. Baylor HC Matt Rhul does very little for me but he is a hot name that the Giants and others are looking at.

Patrick Laird ended up with 168 yards rushing and 204 receiving, for 372 total yards, all of it accumulated in the second half of the season. He was Miami's best running back, but my cynical guess is that he'll be Caste aside as a result of the Dolphins terrible offensive line as his average per carry wasn't good, though it was still a noticeable improvement over Kalen Ballage.

Laird certainly showed enough for the team to develop him further as an all-around back, but that's not how it works in the NFL for White players, especially at "taboo" positions, who must excel instantly or face ridicule and a quick exit from the league (see Gerhart, Toby). The Dolphins will probably draft a back or sign one as a free agent, leaving Laird trying to make the team as a back-up next year in the best case scenario.

I thought he did well considering the circumstances. He also had a few games where he almost broke a really long run which shows he is faster than they give him credit for.

If he doesn't make the team for whatever reason he should try to sign with either New England to replace an aging Burkhead or Minnesota as they are more likely to give him a fair shot!
All in all I was happy for the kid. We will continue to support you Patrick Laird. You made us all proud and did it without ever complaining. Class act on and off the field!

Blake Martinez, Luke Kuechly and Joe Schobert finish the year in the top 10 in tackles. Schobert needs to get paid big time and get away from the caste Cleveland Blacks.

Redskins hire Black Jack Del Rio as their D-Coordinator - can't say I am too optimistic on what this means for Holcombe and Apke.

Massive cuck Nick Wright said black head coaches don't get second chances in this league. Is he forgetting Hue Jackson getting another chance after going 1-15 and 0-16 with Cleveland? Or Anthony Lynn surviving this season despite going 5-11 with one of the better rosters in the league?

The two names he mentioned that should be in contention for jobs are Marvin Lewis and Jim Caldwell. Jim Caldwell the guy still riding off Peyton Manning's coattails and Marvin Lewis a painfully mediocre coach that couldn't control his brothas in the playoffs from committing cheapshots on opposing players even with a playoff game on the line.

My New Year's Resolution is to remain as positive as possible. How long will that last? Two months? Two weeks? One day? I suspect after a round of college bowl games today my "positivity phase" will have elapsed. Ha.

I have been contemplating Rivera lately. He had possible HOF TE Greg Olsen and of course the grand duo of Luke Kuechly and CM. One can't dismiss these points. I wanted them to win the Super Bowl. They collapsed.

However their drafts were typically caste for the most part and when Rivera had "his" chance to go more anti caste and insert athletic and worthy S Colin Jones as a full time starter he demurred. He kept stacking the defense with sub par black players and last year by caving into an injured Newton he guaranteed a ruined season.

I do not know this but I suspect Carolina is that rare team where their locker room leader is white. Late in the season they flashed to a visibly frustrated Luke on the sidelines and it made me wonder if his frustrations centered around Rivera and the owners got the message and said it was time to move on?

As for the Redskins their local press is decidedly made up of caste ass wipes. This is a tough caste market. They quickly thrill to black players and beat the hell out of white ones. They loved draft pick LB Montez Sweat the Olympic underwear champ at the Combine but his rookie season was unremarkable at best. Their best defensive rookie was clearly LB Cole Holcomb who had over 100 tackles and looks to me like a future long term NFL star. If given the chance now that caste hound Del Rio has been hired?

Then the S Troy Apke saga. Despised by the local beat writers and internet twerps the truth of the matter is when he did play he was as good if not better than anyone else in their defensive backfield. He sat out the last game against the Cowboys and I am here to tell you the defensive backfield play of the Redskins in that game was beyond merely bad. It was like watching a Division 3 team trying to compete with an NFL team. It was a horror show in every direction. Who are these black DB bums that NFL teams like the Redskins keep wheeling out every Sunday? Unsurprisingly the local Redskins media kind of skipped over a full report of the game to focus on next season. You can bet the house if Apke was a part of this tragedy the knives would have been out in full force.

Will see what happens with this Rivera-Del Rio tandem but as mentioned above apart for Jay Gruden showing some guts ( and I would have been more patient with Jay and kept him on for at least two more years) this is not an organization with a good track record when it comes to bucking up against the caste system. They have been one of the worst offenders over the years.

We will look at their draft and see how Del Rio lays out the defense next year. Hard to see this turning "positive" but as always I will give it a year to accurately judge what is going on.

Four TDs over the last nine games for Brissett lolol. And the media was hyping this scrub as an adequate replacement for Andrew Luck early on in the season:

Colts GM Chris Ballard reiterated Thursday that Andrew Luck has no plans to come out of retirement.
The Colts are rumored to be looking for a new quarterback this off-season. Jacoby Brissett started the season off well but closed it with four touchdowns over his final nine games. Luck would be a sight for sore eyes but Ballard made it clear that Luck is done with football. "Andrew is retired," said Ballard during his 75-minute press conference. "I think we all need to accept that." Expect the Colts to do their due diligence on quarterbacks in free agency and the draft.

I hope Apke can move on, the Skins' DBs were a clown show versus Dallas.

Everyone here call this one. I remember reading Peter King's MMQB article earlier this season and he opined on how he could watch Deshaun Watson vs. Jacoby Brissett duels for years to come (or something along this lines). I could not help laugh.

The NFL remains the "opiate of the masses":

NFL Ratings Increase for Second Straight Year
Football games see a 5% lift in viewership in 2019, as NBA ratings decline

Ratings for National Football League games rose 5% in 2019, making it the most-watched season since 2016, the league said. During the 2019 regular season, an average of 16.5 million people tuned in to watch NFL games, according to Nielsen data cited by the league. This is the second straight season of viewership growth for the NFL, after it lost a chunk of viewers in 2017.

At the time, a variety of possible reasons were cited for the decline, including protests during the national anthem, overexposure of NFL programming and challenges in the TV business as consumers shift from traditional pay-TV packages to digital services. Cable cord-cutting has been a significant drag on TV viewership, causing substantial ratings drops for many networks. The NFL, whose programming airs across various broadcast and cable channels, has been resilient. All of the top 10 telecasts of 2019 through Dec. 29 were football games.

The NFL’s viewership rise comes as National Basketball Association TV ratings declined 15% so far this season. That drop has been attributed by the league and its TV partners to a slew of injuries to marquee players, among other factors.

It's my opinion that viewership has risen because of gambling. The younger "fans" (aged 20-45 or so) don't give a rats butt about football or any other outdoors activity (anything outdoors is alien to those people and people even younger than them). If you look closely at the camera work of the games, you'll notice they're hiding the empty seats at many of the games. With old men such as myself, I only watch the games on a Sunday when I go out to the local bar for my two beers (A pretty young girl serves me my beers and listens politely to my insane jokes) and when I leave after my two beers she says she'll see me next week As far as the games go, I'm disgusted by the "tackling." They talk about what a great run the guy made but don't say a word about the lousy tackling that caused that "great run." Also, I saw an interception that was seemingly thrown to the defender without a WR in the picture. I saw the QB on the sidelines and I think it was obvious he was po'd that yet again another receivers wasn't where he was supposed to have been (so much for routes). That's what you've got anymore, a bunch of baloney. But as long as the league does well on TV, they will survive.

On that topic the attendance figures came out and there was a significant downturn as overall numbers were the lowest since 2004 see below:

https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2020/01/03/nfl-attendance-crashes-to-15-year-low/

So the TV ratings were up and attendance was down. Not stagnating but not moving the needle forward either I guess. Signs of problems or "cracks" but one will have to observe these figures over the next several years to get a better feel as to where the NFL is trending?

Even if I put my caste misgivings aside if the game continues to trend towards the kind of play we see in the Big 12 where mainly all black defenses continually escort offenses into the end zone with little or no resistance it will cause me to rethink whether it is worth wasting my time watching football. I wonder if other fans are picking up on the general pitiful lack of fundamentals we see on defense these days?

Are we in the most caste heavy defensive era now? I can't be quite sure but it seems to me most teams have black heavy defensive rosters and even those that start white players the number is usually one or two with a couple of outlier teams that sort of start three maybe?

What happened to the days where some teams would field four to six white defenders? Back in the day when defenses were tough and fun to watch?

Just want a take a second to comment on the slew of coaches who we keep hearing about that are up for head coaching jobs.

I don't care for three of these college coaches who are rumored for NFL head coaching jobs.

Matt Rhule--Looks like your local UPS driver which is fine but he is as dull as he looks. Big deal he "turned around" Temple and now Baylor who by the way got tossed around like yesterday's trash in their recent Bowl game against Georgia. Baylor had 11 wins this year but watching them play was like watching paint dry. And his teams have been standard issue caste. Neither Temple or Baylor employed white wide receivers or white defensive backs. Fairly solid in the fundamental department but talk about an unexciting choice.

Urban Meyer--Talk about a square peg in a round hole. Screams college coach and I can't envision him adapting properly to the NFL. Plus he has some miles on him and suffers from battle fatigue. Who would want him? Sure I could see a college team wanting him but imagine the local media having to put up with this prick in an NFL city? Cringe inducing.

Lincoln Riley--Modern day caste punk version of what the NFL has been hiring of late. Offensively innovative and overly cute if you ask me and beyond clueless on the other side of the ball. Why would I want my team to hire a head coach whose defense just got ripped to shreds in their final four bowl game? Just too caste for me. How many white players have you seen on the field since he took over Oklahoma? It is hovering around zero. That pretty much seals the deal for me with this caste creep.

Probably in the minority here but two coaches I would give a chance to man a team are Jason Garrett and Josh McDaniels.

Garrett is easy to play for and I think his meddlesome owner coupled with the fact the Cowboys QB was average helped with his downfall. Impressed me because he stuck with S Jeff Heath despite the howling from the local media and played Vander Esch before he got hurt and relied heavily on Sean Lee for years. Also WR Cole Beasley before he left. I know in this day and age having a nice and pleasant personality doesn't cut it much but I would rather have someone like that as opposed to some fire breathing dragon type like Rex Ryan etc. Carolina would be a perfect landing spot for him. Two established white stars and getting either Justin Herbert or Shea Patterson in the draft to shore up the QB position it wouldn't take long for Jason to have them heading in the right direction.

As for McDaniels I think he deserves a second shot fully aware his first limited go around fell flat. But I would take him over Lincoln Riley. He has a sharp offensive approach. Whether he would be too caste is open for debate but I think we can all agree that he has become a master of "second half" adjustments over the years. I also like the fact he has worked with a lot of white wide receivers over the past several years.

I also think ex Pack McCarthy deserves a second shot albeit I am not completely sold on him although at this juncture I think he has more in the tank left than Ron Rivera who is a solid coach but too dull around the edges to imagine him taking the Redskins anywhere near a Super Bowl. His first big move to enlist Jack Del Rio as his DC looks like a dumbass move right out of the gate.

The NFL ratings thing is interesting as it dominates the ratings on the Networks even with women from 18-49 years of age. My WAG is not so much a love of NFL games as lack of any unifying cultural artifact left on stoopidvision. Have you seen the shows FOX is producing, average to just plain awful.

OMG, Marvin Lewis who had to be distant kin folk to the Brown family is now a favorite to land the head coaching job in Dallas. Garrett had an image of combination of the nephew of Jones and Howdy Doody with Jones pulling the strings in the background. Lewis will be the Black version of that......https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/1580/marvin-lewis

I actually echo Shadowlight’s sentiments on Garrett. He actually was not some terrible coach - his win loss record is 85-67. There are some rumors that the cowboys are stringing him along until the Giants fill their coaching position.

The Cowboys went with Mike McCarthy. It sounds like the logic from Jerrah is that McCarthy will develop Prescott as he did in developing Rodgers. I personally think this is not going to be an ideal match and in the next few years the Cowboys will fire him - Prescott is what he is - the o-line is a year older, Elliot has another year of mileage on him. Witten may or may not be back but McCarthy's offense has never had a dominant TE - Witten served as a security blanket for Prescott as he did before retiring and his comeback season at age 37 has been great - he is a first ballot HOF. Statistically he was the same player he was in 2017 - I would like to see him retire now instead of serving a reduced role in 2020.

Apparently Marvin wanted to bring in Hue Jackson LOL. Even that was too much for Jerry Jones so he went with McCarthy.
