How does a 0-8 team blow a 10 point lead in 5 mins? Joe Flacco knows...

Don't be letting Gregg William's off the hook.

[KelVarnsen]

If Gregg Williams was black, he wouldn't keep getting DC jobs.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Honestly, that is some impressive dedication to tanking. But next week is the real Tank Bowl.

It always amazes me that Frank Gore is still playing as a RB at his age

I see that the NFL did put in a program where teams who develop minority coaches, managers, and executives will be given some additional compensation picks. I think it only applies if the coach leaves to take a job with another team.

Of course with how NFL teams tend to think...they'll stop hiring these guys because they don't want another team getting free picks, or worse not promote their own people to those roles waiting for another team to hire them and get extra picks.

To your original point, I would agree that Williams likely isn't getting this many chances at a DC job if he's not white. He must be a good bullscheiser because his on field coaching of defence the past few years has been truely awful.

I don't like Gregg Williams but I also don't like uninformed and divisive comments like this as KNJ who is black has had two gigs back to back (Oakland and Seattle) despite being one of the worst defensive coordinators in the history of the NFL. Williams has a lot of experience as DC (was 5-3 with the Browns after Jackson got fired) and head coach and there are plenty of other white DC's for hire so it's clearly less to do with color of skin and more to do with the fact that his defenses have been ranked 17th or better (top 10 seven times) 12 of his 19 seasons as DC. Also his last two jobs were the Browns and Jets so not exactly teams where any DC is going to look good.

Gregg Williams' scheme was amazing with the Saints when they won the Super Bowl in 2009.. and immediately went over a cliff afterwards. His over-aggressive crap was so infuriating..basically just run a 6 yard quick slant against it and you could take it 60 yards to the house.

Not to mention his Bountygate crap on top of all that. Seriously #### that dude

Do you think if he was black that he would have been able to get a job after bountygate?

I sure don't.

Brian Flores worked for the Patriots during Spygate. Like other Belichick employees it didn't tarnish his image with other teams. Teams care more about winning than anything else so yes I do believe if he was black and had the same resume as Williams he would find work in the NFL. Hue Jackson is black and he somehow worked steadily in the NFL after getting fired by the Raiders and he's a guy that was not well liked at Oakland or Baltimore after working for those organizations. Guys like Raheem Morris and Todd Bowles were disasters as head coach but easily found work as DC's after because teams care about getting good coaches above all else. I can't speak for every owner in the NFL but I do believe that the majority of owners care more about winning than the skin color of coaches.

Why do they have to zoom all the way in on Corey Davis' face while obviously emotional about his brother who passed away? Leave the guy alone.

[Erick Estrada]

This Titans defense is having an incredibly poor game. Outside of a couple of 4th down stops they have been gashed all night as the Colts haven't punted once.

[Nadal Fan]

Special teams cost the Titans this game.

[Luder]

How does Gostkowski still have a job??? And the D is horrendous tonight. FML

[Nadal Fan]

Imagine cutting a punter who did a great job last week to hire a Fed ex driver who had a 17 yard kick and a blocked kick. Good job Titans wasting Derrick Henry

[Sainters7]

After a hot start, the Titans really falling back to earth here. That game didn't even feel close by mid 2nd Q, despite the score at halftime.

That punt block was not his fault. That guy was untouched the whole time.

I'm really surprised they haven't replaced him yet. If they manage to make the playoffs I would be terrified to bring him out for any meaningful field goals.

I’m terrified when he comes out for point PATs

Tannehill has a better completion percentage than Gostkowski's field goal percentage
