It had spread to his lungs and other organs. Absolutely gutted by this. I loved the ATN podcast and he was such an intelligent and great guy on it. A truly brilliant personality. Going to be missed by a lot of people. Sorry to hear. Also only 46. Awful news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Where do we see Darnold going? What do we think he’s worth? Surely not more than a third round being the highest pick to give away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'd forgotten about this wee Marty Schottenheimer gem - The man utterly loathed the Raiders and everything about them. He kicked off our 13 game win streak against them, and had a ridiculous all-time record v's the franchise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I’d like to see Jacksonville do well normally but with Meyer in charge and hiring c***s like this it’s hard to root for them. Do we think they’ll beat the arrest record of the 2008 Gators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he should have spent more time trying to win playoff games than only caring about beating the Raiders... He really was great football mind, and rivalry-aside was a guy who really deserved to get a ring. Him being sacked after finishing 14-2 is still one of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen since watching the sport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really was great football mind, and rivalry-aside was a guy who really deserved to get a ring. Him being sacked after finishing 14-2 is still one of the more ridiculous things I’ve seen since watching the sport. Marty orchestrated his own firing, was warned repeatedly by ownership that his determination to hire his brother wasn't going to fly, and still insisted on appointing him anyway. He left the organisation with no option but to fire him by giving them an ultimatum. The playoff thing is totally overplayed. Not Marty's fault Ernest Byner inexplicably dropped the ball, or that Marlon McCree doesn't just bat down the pass. Clear cut instances of a moment of idiocy on the part of a player robbing a coach of at least 1 Superbowl ring. If anything, he probably used to rouse the players up too much for playoff games, but then you can look at the number of times he made the playoffs in KC with absolute dugshit teams, and that for me is the ultimate vindication of his coaching, the fact that he invariably took whatever he was given and made them overperform. People can say what they want about him not winning a ring, but it's hardly a damning indictment of his coaching when his teams barely ever had the talent to make that a realistic proposition in any case. 2006 was the glaring exception. That team was by far and away the best team in the NFL that season and should have absolutely cigared the playoffs. The fact they utterly dominated Brady and the Pats and still lost was entirely of their own doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’m sure they lost a playoff game in KC with the kicker missing 3 field goals. Ended up losing 10-7 I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up losing 10-7 I think Vague memories of this being v's the Colts, and the normally dependable Nick Lowery having a shocker. Might have been the year the Colts got to the Championship game with Harbaugh at QB then got Slashed by the Steelers. Edit - yeah, correct year, but it was Lin Elliot who choked. Lowery had been moved on/retired by that point. Edited February 12, 2021 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Watson is apparently "intrigued" in the possibility of a trade to various teams with the 49ers and Broncos among them. The Jets don't make his list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Watson needs to be realistic, in that half the teams with the quality of roster he seems to want to play with are already in Cap trouble and simply won't be able to eat his contract. IF he is traded, and I still think that's less likely than him staying, it's more than likely going to be to a team with a middle-of-the-road roster rather than a 'win now' one. Given his likely asking price, a team in 'win now' mode would be selling the future to get him, and he's likely to find himself playing on a creaky roster with no means to restock in a year or two anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets don't make his list. If his pal JJ is on the way out and he's already said goodbye to Hopkins, I can't see how he stays at the Texans. The 49ers should do everything they can to get him, he'd be a great fit in a Kyle Shanahan coached team. A team one season removed from reaching the SuperBowl. If he goes there the other 3 qb's in the division would be Wilson, Murray and Stafford, wow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Broncos are the best placed team to come to. If we fix right tackle he’s got a good line in front of him, terrific young talent at WR and TE. Defence is solid with Vic calling the shots. The only downside is pat shurmer as OC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
