Correct. There are plenty of examples on both sides, but I don't think being a failed Head coach is death nail by any stretch

Never said it was :dontknow:

I just don't think 3 seasons of piss-poor defense as a HC should go unnoticed because he had one good season as a coordinator under McVay. Come to think about it, Morris had his comeback with McVay... Maybe McVay has more input on that side that we don't see?

Again, I'm not against Staley like I was Barry's hiring, but it gives me pause.

Fair enough. I'm not really pro or anti Staley. There are pros on cons on both sides.

Who do you guys like tomorrow? Not betting, just to win. I like Ravens and Niners.

Niners - Chiefs

Slightly lean Niners. Depends on how healthy Deebo is.

Baltimore all the way. They beat 11 teams with a winning record and blew out both NFCC teams. Also the only team that blew out their Divisional opponent.

Boggles my mind how they are only 3.5 point faves.

KC has Goodell on their side

Interesting hire. Bills fans on X seem to think Babich was the rising star to go after.

Eagles with a fairly big upgrade at both coordinator spots.

Pretty stoked for the games today. Hopefully they're both close in the 4th.

I think Ravens/Niners would be an awesome Superbowl matchup so that's what I'm pulling for

Sick of the whiney chiefs hope they get stomped.

I've never wanted an AFC team to lose more badly than the Chiefs today.

As always, I never bet against Mahomes in a big game so I am going Chiefs over Ravens.

Plus it would be just like the Ravens to get the #1 seed and then lay an egg at home in the AFC Championship game. I don't necessarily think the Ravens will lay an egg today, but it wouldn't surprise me. I think it will be close, but the Chiefs win. I hope I am wrong, sick of the Chiefs.

And I like 49ers over Lions.

Had the Packers won last week, I think the Lions would have beaten us today. Hard to go on the road and a beat a team twice in the same season. Especially a division opponent. When it's all said and done, Savage's dropped picked 6 vs the 49ers probably costed the Lions a trip to the Super Bowl.....lol.

Go Ravens!

I don't bet against Mahomes when it matters, but I would love to be wrong and see the Chiefs get humbled today.

I'm rooting for the Ravens just because Lamar deserves one. Not a KC fan or hater, but I respect their team.
