1) Right after being drafted, a LOT of people pointed out that Manziel's style would get him eaten alive and destroyed (physically) by Baltimore and Pittsburgh. He didn't even make it to them before getting torn up, so how is he supposed to survive against them in the years to come? 2) The Texans don't have a revolving door of scapegoated defensive players. Cleveland does that to their QBs. |

Woo, Baltimore makes the playoffs! Not that they'll go very far, considering how inconsistently they've played, but they made it!
Looks like the Buccs tanked it despite being ahead by like 20 points at one point, so they'll get the first overall pick in 2015, with Titans getting the 2nd. |

I wouldn't be surprised if they dumped him altogether. He's like Justin Blackmon. Lot of talent, but can't stay out of trouble.
Pretty sure Harbaugh is going back to Michigan. He leaves San Francisco a winner and returns to his alma mater with an $8 million salary.

Were there any notable QBs worth tanking that hard for? Pretty sure Tampa Bay and Tennessee both want one.
Well, 49ers - I hope you know what you're doing...letting go a coach that was 49-22-1 in his tenure. (heh, 49 wins, go figure) It pretty much looks like it's a done deal Harbaugh is off to Michigan. Which makes me wonder - who on earth are the 49ers going to be able to get? I'm seeing some 49ers places demanding Mike Holgrem. Got what I wanted out of who made it through. NFC is the exact order I feel it should be. AFC also decent. Time to see what insanity the playoffs can throw up. Interesting thing to note, GDB - Le'Veon Bell is looking unlikely to play in that first week match against your Ravens. You may stand a chance to win that one. If Dallas can take out Detroit right away next week, I will be very content with the state of the playoffs. And honestly...Suh stomps on someone again....Rodgers of all people...

And yeah, Suh needs to get a long suspension for that crap. It was definitely intentional, though it didn't seem especially malicious. |

Pittsburgh and Carolina are also operating on the last legs of their secondaries but have managed to make it work. Hopefully Baltimore can too.
Few big announcements just came through: - Rex Ryan and GM John Izdik let go from the NY Jets - Mike Smith let go from the Atlanta Falcons (wow, they FINALLY did it!) - Marc Trestman and GM Phil Emery let go from the Chicago Bears - Pettine publically critical of Johnny Manziel's performance on and off the field (no surprise...also warranted) - Confirmation Jim Harbaugh has agreed to sign with Michigan. The most immediate impacting news though: - Suh is suspended for the upcoming match versus Green Bay. Good....He deserves it. One wonders how that will affect Detroit's willingness to resign him. The guy never learns....he's doing it on purpose and thinks it's all justified.

Also, I'm surprised Suh still has a job with all his bs he's done. I ripped into people calling Rodgers a pussy. You really gonna call someone a pussy when a 300lb guy just fucking walks on your leg/ankle with both feet, with fucking football cleats!? |
