Sirianni is known as a smart offensive mind who isn’t afraid to coach players hard. Better than promoting Duce where there probably wouldn’t be much that would change from the previous regime.

Yeah I was never a fan of promoting Duce, nor did I think he'd get the job. Big reason they fired Doug was reportedly because he wanted to promote from within.

I am glad they've gone with an offensive-minded coach, though. There were a lot of interviews (actual and scheduled) with defensive-minded coaches, which made no sense if the entire point of the coaching change was to find someone who can fix Carson and revamp the offense around his supposed strengths.

Martin Mayhew, who won a Super Bowl playing for the Redskins and was most recently a 49ers executive, is your new Washington GM. He was previously GM for the Lions.

Mayhew wasn't on the Bucs Super Bowl team. He played for Tampa in the 90's but left long before they won the SB. Pretty sure he won one playing for the Redskins.

Whoops, you're right. I'll fix.

No 4k for the super bowl.
Technically wasnt either last yr but at least it was 1080p hdr upscaled to 4k.
Crazy how bad 4k rollout is.

Disappointing to say the least.

Couldn't agree more. Not to mention there was a game 4K game two weeks ago but not last week...uhh? This is the time for TV manufacturers to unload stale stock via Super Bowl sales but without a 4K broadcast, lots of folks probably won't bite on a purchase.

This 4K TV broadcast rollout seems very much akin to the original 1080i HD rollout when all that was available for a while was some scarce OTA channels via antenna and like two HD channels on DTV (HDNet and HDNet Movies). However, as a format overall, it's gone a good bit better thanks to streaming and UHD.

Hell college football is better presented on the 4k platform. Not to mention imo FOX 4k stinks to say the least, probably the worst 4k quality out of the entire bunch imo.

Shame to see the NFL continuing to resist technology.

NFL will claim it lost to much money this year due to COVID so 4K isnt an option

GM in name only. Reports to Rivera, who seems to be running the show. I fear Snyder will be distracted by his myriad lawsuits enough for WFT to actually be a halfway respectable team for a season or two.

Not sure how he hasn’t been forced out yet. He’s a constant thorn in the side of the NFL from a PR standpoint.

Good luck, my friend.

You too. The sales group I work with is spread out with large group in the northeast and in the Midwest. I sent out a daily trading emails to all the reps. Since we are a KC based company, my emails on Friday are Chiefs themed during the season.

This week I did a bills mafia themed email as a nod to the Buffalo Bills. Great fans; team and coaching staff. Easy team to root for (except this Sunday )

I just hope he is actually ok to play, i have not a single doubt in my mind the league wants him on the field regardless of his health or future health for that matter.

I don’t think Andy Reid would be on board with that. He has always struck me as a coach that genuinely cares for his players as human beings.
