WAIT AND SEE

Well here we are again. Sitting in front of our t.v. sets and watching other teams playing in the playoffs. Second year in a row feeling the powder blues. The dynamic duo of Smith and Turner will be back for another year of ????

Maybe more of the same as last year or if were lucky, we kick in the door to the playoffs. I mean we did see some improvements with Turner's play calling (more aggressive) and better clock management towards the end of the season right? I do agree with the decision of firing Manusky because I just couldn't stand anymore of his bad defensive play calling and looking so dumfounded with his mouth agape in the sidelines. But what about John Pagano? I'm really interested in getting you guy's opinion on this coach. I think with better choice of draft picks by A.J. and continued improvement by Norv, we should see a better season. We definitely need a solid pass rusher and a tough strong safety in this year's draft. Gaither was a lucky (desperate) find by A.J. and maybe breaking his string of bad luck decisions when he acquired him. Oh and by the way, less interceptions thrown by Rivers will also go a long way.

Hey guys, I know I'm all over the place with this post and I'm sorry... But it's really hard to concentrate and pinpoint what we actually need to reach the playoffs this year. I know one thing for sure though, if the team start slow this year at the beginning or even lose two or three in a row I think were looking at Bill Cowher and Bill Polian. But then again........more powder blues?

If we got Cowher and Polian I just might quit, haha

I agree though and vote for more powder blues. As for Polian….I think he really got exposed this year. My guess is that he isn’t held in high regard at all by people who know things about football. Hopefully that includes the Spanos family.

I've never heard anything about Polian,

but Cowher is a definite maybe. I heard a tidbit of a rumor (which is probably just what it is….a rumor) that Cowher wanted to wait another year before committing to a coaching position and refused to work under AJ. . Rather than firing Norv and AJ and paying the remainder of their contracts (they have 2 and 3 years respectively left on their contracts) and then finding an interim coach/GM, Deano is just going to hang on to them for another season. I understand that the decision to keep them was made several weeks ago and in a meeting at Bolt HQ, they were given the “win or get canned” speech. Again, it’s just a rumor (but from a pretty good source).
