jags fire doug marrone

As expected, the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired their head coach Doug Marrone on Monday morning after winning just one game in the 2020 NFL season. If it were up to me, he would have been fired the second he said he would start Mike Glennon. Owner Shad Khan released a statement, thanking Marrone for his "hard work over the past four seasons" in Jacksonville (if you want to call it that):

The Jags have been linked to Urban Meyer as a replacement and are likely to grab top prospect Trevor Lawrence, in the 2020 NFL Draft. Additionally, a slew of draft picks, and some nice weather should make Jacksonville one of the top spots for a new hire (behind the Los Angeles Chargers​, imo).

anthony lynn and chargers part ways

Another one that's been brewing for a while: The Los Angeles Chargers have fired head coach Anthony Lynn on Monday morning, adding their name to the growing list of teams with an opening. The Chargers finished at 7-9, which isn't terribly bad, considering the Washington Football Team made the postseason with the same record. -confused emoji face-

The biggest 'plus' this season was the emergence of rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, and Lynn does deserve credit for that. Herbert did kind of fall into his lap (flashback to the Tyrod Taylor injection situation where the team was forced at the last minute to start Herbert). Still, the decision to keep him going and his development can be credited to Lynn. Any head coaching candidate is looking at Herbert's abilities as a positive asset when taking the job.

carson wentz doesn't talk to reporters monday

The Philadelphia Eagles cleaned out their lockers on Monday after Sunday night's debacle, and Carson Wentz is just done with it all and refused to speak to reporters. I don't blame him one bit. Head coach Doug Pederson insisted that their relationship was fine (Wentz was a healthy scratch on Sunday and reportedly wants a trade), but I have some slight trouble believing that. 

josh jacobs arrested for dui after game

Las Vegas Raiders star running back Josh Jacobs had too much fun celebrating their win on Sunday night. Jacobs was arrested for a DUI at 4:40 am after a single-vehicle crash.

BREAKING: Las Vegas Metro Police confirm that Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was arrested on a DUI charge early this morning after a single car accident in the airport connector.

john elway is giving up his gm role

Add the Denver Broncos to the long list of teams looking for a new general manager. John Elway is stepping away from the role, though he'll remain president of football operations.

Basically the final say in the roster, the drafting, the players signings (aka all the good stuff) is out of his hands now.

the bills started things off with a perfect first drive

Buffalo Bills quarterback and MVP candidate Josh Allen did what Josh Allen does in marching his team down the field to open up the night against the Denver Broncos. Allen completed seven out of ten passes in this drive, finishing it off with a touchdown to tight end Dawson Knox​.

Buffalo made the broncos call them daddy the entire first half (until the end)

Denver scored at the very end, but the Bills mostly controlled the first half. Allen had two touchdown passes and this methodical touchdown run.

And it wasn't just Josh allen piling on, either

Bills linebacker Jerry Hughes took a turn at making a mockery of Denver. Hughes grabbed a fumble from Lock, and it resulted in a 21-yard touchdown run. 

Tre started it.
Jerry finished it.

Bills beat broncos, grab AFC East title

If you couldn't tell already by the highlights, the Bills wiped the floor with Denver, 48-19. They also clinched the AFC East division title for the first time since 1995. I was wearing my Dorothy ruby slippers to bed every night and playing with Barbies. Allen had himself a game, and inserted himself into the MVP conversation. Buffalo has a lot to celebrate -- and can do it at their first home playoff game in over twenty years.

Packers start off with a quick seven 

Shockingly, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are making it look easy, once again. The MVP-candidate quarterback marched his team down the field and hit tight end Robert Tonyan for an early touchdown on their first drive, giving Green Bay a 7-0 lead.

green bay continued to dominate at halftime

It wasn't perfect for the Packers on Saturday night, but it sure seemed like it at half-time. The Panthers struggled to contain Green Bay's offense as they headed into the second half, down 21-3. We even got the belt celebration back.

Carolina tried to come back in the second half

The Panthers went into the second half down 21-3, but showed some semblance of life in the second half. QB Teddy Bridgewater ran the ball in for a touchdown in the third quarter, while kicker Joey Slye hit a field goal in the fourth, bringing Carolina's score up to 21-13.

green bay got the w

It seemed like it would be a blowout in the first half, but the Panthers rallied, and kind of (maybe?) tried to come back in the second. It didn't work, though, and Rodgers and company showed that they mean business and are a clear Super Bowl contender with a 24-16 win. Green Bay moves to 11-3 so far this season, with two to go.

Jamison Crowder likely to play, Phillip Lindsay likely to sit

10/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Tonight's riveting Denver Broncos-New York Jets matchup is already keeping us on the edge of our seats. Add in some last-minute injury decisions and we are just shaking with anticipation. 

Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is likely to play after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Even while not being at one hundred percent, Sam Darnold is breathing a sigh of relief, even with the remaining dumpster fire of a team.

#Jets WR Jamison Crowder, who missed two games with a hamstring injury, is expected to play tonight against the #Broncos, per source. Crowder won’t be 100%. But he’ll give it a go.

LT Mekhi Becton (shoulder) isn’t expected to start, but likely will dress in case of emergency.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 1, 2020

Additionally, Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is not expected to play tonight after injuring his foot in Week One. 

#Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay (turf toe) is considered unlikely to play tonight against the #Jets, per source. Lindsay has practiced the past week, is on the trip and feeling better. But it may make sense to hold him out another week. They'll talk before making a final decision.

Exhilarating.

Broncos add Brett Rypien to active roster

9/25/2020

0 Comments

 
With an injury to starting quarterback Drew Lock, the Denver Broncos are starting Jeff Driskel for some reason. Denver also signed QB Blake Bortles just yesterday, meaning he won't be ready to back up Jeff..... Driskel..... with just a day's notice, but I'm sure that doesn't matter because it's Jeff..... Driskel. 

Meanwhile, in order for Denver to have a backup, because something is sure to happen, they promoted QB Brett Rypien​ to the active roster. This seems like a mean joke, but it's true.

Per NFL Source: The Broncos are signing QB Brett Rypien to the active 53-man roster. Not the biggest surprise considering Vic told us Bortles wouldn’t be ready to backup Driskel this week. Good for Brett, who’s worked hard, helped Lock, and gets a nice pay raise! @KOAColorado

The Broncos are playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers​ this weekend, and godspeed to them, they will need it.

CJ Anderson retires

9/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Running back CJ Anderson, most notably of the Denver Broncos​, has decided to retire, ESPN reports.

Veteran RB C.J. Anderson, who went to the Pro Bowl and won a Super Bowl, is retiring from NFL at age 29. A great run for an undrafted free agent. Anderson now plans to pursue a career in coaching and initially is likely to do it at a big power 5 college. “Details soon,” he said.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 18, 2020

Anderson is only 29 years old, and his career was one of success. As an undrafted free agent, he went on to win a Super Bowl ring before being released in 2018. After not finding another permanent landing spot, he has decided to move on.

​His next plan? Coaching. Not a bad deal.

Aj Bouye won't need surgery, will likely go on ir

9/16/2020

Denver Broncos cornerback AJ Bouye left Monday night's game after landing on his shoulder, dislocating it. Bouye is now expected to miss some time, although he won't need surgery. The first-year Bronco is likely heading to injured reserve.

#Broncos CB AJ Bouye’s dislocated shoulder underwent tests yesterday, and source said no surgery is planned. It’s on to rehab, and Bouye should be out just a few weeks. That likely means he’s headed to Injured Reserve, from which he can return after just three weeks.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 16, 2020

The hope is that Bouye can return after just a few weeks and not be out long-term. No surgery is one of the best-case scenarios for a short-term return. Denver has the Pittsburgh Steelers​ up next.

Phillip Lindsay has turf toe

9/15/2020

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay left Monday night's game against the Tennessee Titans with what the team initially called a foot injury. Head coach Vic Fangio later clarified what sort of foot injury Lindsay sustained, and it's not great.

Broncos’ RB Phillip Lindsay is dealing with turf toe that the team hopes is “mild”, per source. But Lindsay’s status now in question after exiting Monday night’s loss to Tennessee.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 15, 2020

More testing is expected to take place this week to evaluate the severity of the injury further. Turf toe is one thing that can either be minor or knock you out for the season. The Broncos have the Pittsburgh Steelers​ up next.

Clay Matthews says 'nah' to the Broncos

9/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Ever since the Denver Broncos lost star linebacker Von Miller to a leg injury a mere few days ago, they have been looking high and low for a replacement since the season starts...... today. Free agent Clay Matthews is one of the top choices for a last-minute option, but it looks like that won't be happening.

Denver expressed interest in signing former Rams’ and Packers’ LB Clay Matthews, but was told he is “not going to play,” per source. Matthews would have been a strong replacement for the injured Von Miller.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 10, 2020

​This is probably the reason why Matthews hasn't been picked up yet. He didn't play poorly last season until he landed on injured reserve with a broken jaw.

The Los Angeles Rams released Matthews early this offseason, which followed with him filing a grievance with the team. Hence the reason another team hasn't signed him; if he takes money somewhere else, that means the Rams don't owe him. I hope that makes sense.

updated with response from agent:

While, above, I assume that he doesn't want to play this year because of said grievance, his agent released a statement explaining that Matthews is still open to playing this season, as long as it's for the "right" team. Aka, if the money is good enough to offset the grievance.

ESPN makes Week 1 Monday Night Football plans

7/31/2020

0 Comments

 
If there will be Monday Night Football Week 1, ESPN has their announcers lined up.

Hearing: New @NFL_MNF booth: @espnSteveLevy @briangriese @LRiddickESPN 2nd game @steelers vs. @Giants @cbfowler @KirkHerbstreit (If college football season is cancelled, this could change)

— james andrew miller (@JimMiller) July 31, 2020

The first game will be Pittsburgh Steelers at New York Giants and will feature Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, college football announcers. The second game of the double-header, Tennessee Titans at Denver Broncos, will feature Steve Levy, Louis Riddick, and Brian Griese. (The tweet is a little unclear, but wanted to give credit to who had it first.)

It's unclear if this is their plan for the entirety of the season or just for now, but I am just happy we don't have to see Booger McFarland.
