Haha exactly. Its like the 10 at the bar who's getting ignored...everybody just figures they have no chance, so they chase after the more attainable ones instead.

Pace needs to realise when he is the only horse in the race, as well as how good this team realistically is.
The deal should be Foles and a 3rd for Wentz at this point and if it's anything more you close up shop, I'd rather go 5-11 with Folea and a 1st than go 6-10 with Wentz

Oh wow, sounds like the Wentz to Chicago rumours are really heating up, it's almost sounding like an inevitability at this point. Can't wait to see the compensation.

I mean I guess I should have never underestimated QB desperation making Wentz actually valuable. Given that you probably could have Trubisky back for ~$10 million or sucked with Foles I'd rather do either of those then make this trade. Wentz by advance numbers had one of the worst years ever this season. Eagles did very well here.

nothing against Aaron Donald, the man is a beast ... but him getting DPOY over T.J. Watt sucks. I know I'm biased here, but you have to wonder what else T.J. could have done.
agree with the other awards. Also happy to see Alan Faneca finally getting into the HoF after missing out so many times.

If the Eagles get a single 1st round pick for Wentz he's a genius but if he gets two 1st rounders it has to be the biggest fleecing in the history of the NFL. The guy was pretty well the worst starting QB in the NFL this season and he's not a great locker room guy. I think a team would be better off looking at a guy like Mariota on the cheap.

Basically he keeps it if Wentz becomes good next year. If he doesn't of course he's fired. Maybe he figures he's fired either way, so... hail mary.

Marty Schottenheimer, who won 200 regular-season games with four NFL teams thanks to his "Martyball" brand of smashmouth football but regularly fell short in the playoffs, has died. He was 77.
Schottenheimer died Monday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, his family said through Bob Moore, a former Kansas City Chiefs publicist. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He was moved to a hospice on Jan. 30.

That's pretty sad news. Schottenheimer brought the Chiefs back to some sort of relevance when he got to KC. He seemed to be a healthier guy, and had been out of coaching for 15 years so that's pretty young to be gone.
As Dirk notes...it was almost criminal that he got fired after going 14-2. I always felt terrible for him as he tells Marlon McCree before the game that when you get an interception late in the game, you go to the ground.....yet what does McCree do? Plus his kickers always crapped the bed too. Between that and John Elway he really was as unlucky in the playoffs as you could be.
Back when I used to have Sirius and NFL radio he would guest on it quite a bit, and he would talk how being an English major was somewhat useful as a Head Coach in the NFL because he could use new words and phrases to sell players on the same thing and that helped him last quite a while in Kansas City. But eventually he ran out of words and said he had to leave because he knew the players wouldn't buy it anymore because he didn't have a new way to sell it. Supposedly Joe Namath was enamoured with his wife Pat. I think it was in a Football life where he claimed she might have been the only woman who could have tamed young Joe...but she was his and even Joe wouldn't cross that line.
RIP to a guy who was a really good football coach.

Well said, always felt he got a bad rap. That 14-2 Chargers team was stacked, if Dummy McCree just falls down, they face the Colts in the AFC championship game and they had their number back then. I think they win the Super Bowl but we will never know. Then the Norv Turner era started and it was downhill from there. Seemed like a really nice guy

So what happened with Daboll? I thought he was guaranteed gone but now he's staying?

Marty had some bad luck in the playoffs - fumbles, interceptions etc that cratered some contending teams.

I'm a little surprised they couldn't find a trade partner for him. He's in decline and probably won't hit double digit sacks anymore but his advanced stats are still better than average. I could see the Raiders overpaying him.
