NFL 2021: The Week 14 thread

This graphic from Reddit's r/NFL compares Gardner Minshew and Trevor Lawrence and let's just say that Uncle Rico > Sarah Jessica Parker.

On the one hand, Minshew Mania the MILF slayer > virgin soy boy Trevy.

On the other hand, I refuse to judge Lawrence until he gets coached up by someone other than this assortment of all my coaching nightmares shoved into one clown car.

I finally started watching the Hard Knocks In-Season with the Colts. First episode was vs. the Jags. Had to laugh when the Colts special teams coordinator talked about how the Jags had blocked on punt team poorly all season, and how he saw an opening, and sure enough, Colts blocked a punt in the game. The coordinator was talking to Reich about how that play opened up exactly like they thought it would.

God how I wish it was the Jags that were getting this Hard Knocks treatment. Seeing the incompetence up close would be almost therapeutic.

Just when I start to think the Panthers are the NFL's most dysfunctional team, here come the Jags to set me straight.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Meyer has been involved in ugly incidents at the team facility within the last two weeks.

One incident involved a heated argument between Meyer and veteran receiver Marvin Jones, who was so angry with Meyer that he left the team facility and had to be convinced to return by other staff members.

Another incident featured a staff meeting that had Meyer ripping into his assistant coaches, calling them losers and asking them to explain what they’ve ever won.

The report also casts doubt on Meyer’s claim that he wasn’t behind the benching of running back James Robinson last week and that Meyer delegates the running back rotation to his staff. According to the report, it was actually Meyer who ordered Robinson’s benching after a fumble. Robinson later went back into the game because quarterback Trevor Lawrence questioned Meyer on the sideline about why the team’s leading rusher wasn’t playing.

There are links with more, of course.

I believe that's called despair, buddy.

There's entirely too much smoke for this fire to go on much longer. Leaking stuff to the press is a pretty good sign his sh*t stinks and no one believes his crap anymore.

I ran out of Jags despair around 2013.

Make no mistake where the leaking comes from. Baalke can hardly believe his luck, usually he has to manufacture crap to leak. Here comes Urban dropping leaker gold right into Baalke's lap.

I actually have a source inside the Jaguars, who sent me a photo of Urban reading his accomplishments to his Assistants:

If none of the assistant coaches clapped back about Urban's NCAA violations, then they're all cowards.

New York finally has a competent football team.

I mean, they play at Yankee Stadium, but still.

While I don't think he'll be around after the end of the season, considering how he survived finger -> butt, I can see him riding it out until Week 18.

He'll be around next season too. You think Khan is the kind of owner that would eat the tens of millions on his contract to get rid of him? Doubtful.

The Jags franchise is screwed for a very long time; or at least until Meyer retires again for "health" reasons.

Why do you say hurtful things?

There may very well be conversations in the Khan camp about "How can we Al Davis our way out of this?"

Supposedly Khan came close to firing Meyer after #GrindGate. I imagine they felt it qualified as a morals clause violation and would allow them to fire for cause.

Not sure how well waiting until after the season and THEN trying to use that justification for firing would fare.

That said, my money is still on Urban getting fired and Baalke staying put and hiring the next coach.

Translation: "Please fire me so I can keep all the money".

Remind me, who assembled the coaching staff?

What are in his emails?

I'm not sure if he even uses email tho.

He believes he still has the confidence of ownership, so either he's delusional or the Khans' are riding this train all the way to the end.

Cleveland fumbled both punts so far. Ravens need to recover one of those

When did Bill Burr join the Texans?

Lamar.

Missed this from 3 weeks ago.

Wilson is 3-of-13 so far today, so I guess it's not going well.

Myles Garrett is a bad man.

Just wanted to pop in and say YES! So happy the Gmen passed on Micah Parsons in the last draft. I mean, they, of all people, did not need a potential defensive star for years to come. Go Getty!

9/23 for 86 yards at the end of the 3rd quarter. So, uh, he's 6/10 since you posted? Improvement?

Making Taysom's 137 yards look like an aerial assault by comparison

KC's throttling of LV yielded a Scorigami.

Urban Meyer goes full autocrat:
