That W likely keeps Patricia OK until Black Monday (dead serious when I say this).   DET is not an org that usually makes changes in-season, yesterday's W with so many CB's out, it will be hailed as "Patricia D wizard" planning victory (when it's more Kyler was soooooo bad yesterday).

I said before there was no way anyone but Gase was going first - gotta hand it to ATL, they found a way to jump into the running.   If the Jets somehow beat DEN on TNF (and being a short week, and East coast game, it's certainly foreseeable), then Quinn moves ahead.    If DEN embarrasses NYJ, though, Gase sounds like he's done.    Leaked reports already said Gase's performance is being "monitored" on Sunday and TNF game.   So we'll see.

Wish we got leaked reports that BoB was being monitored.

If I'm to believe the local media, BoB is on a hot seat right now - the offense completely imploding teamed up with DeAndre Hopkins going on at a record breaking pace is driving the point home, and the media has completely turned on BoB. 

I have a bit of a conspiracy running in my head, and it has to do with... former Texans GM Rick Smith.

Cal McNair is best friends with Smith - Smith is the godfather to Cal's kids, Cal was sitting front row with Smith at Rick's wife's funeral. Smith was relieved of duty to tend to his wife, who had breast cancer; He's referenced that he wants to get back to football in some capacity one day. Thing is, Smith's "Q" rating was incredibly low coming out of the job, it was a relief he was walking away to the Texans fanbase (myself included).

I THINK - Cal wants his best friend back, but he knows his perception. So, one thing that can be done is making the current guy shoot himself from the foot all the way to the crotch (because that's exactly what's going on here with BoB). Let BoB die by 10,000 cuts, get the city to hate him (because that's exactly what's going on now, BoB's "Q" rating is less than zero) and then Rick Smith comes riding in as the hero...

I could be delirious at this point. I dunno.

B-b-b-but I don't want Rick Smith back....

If the Jets fire Gase, at least they have Greg Williams. From what I remember when the Browns fired Hue Jackson, he got the team to play hard and they did. Why the moron Browns didn’t keep him is beyond me, but the Jets might have the answer sitting isn’t there laps. I am no huge fan of his, but he seems to get more out of his players than the clowns he works for.

Apparently Greggggg wasn't well liked in the Browns locker room, but probably more importantly is that John Dorsey was avoiding an inevitable power struggle between him and Williams.

He’s a high quality evaluators, an excellent drafter. Is there a list of poor FA signings bc I’m shocked by the lack of respect

It's mostly because of his mid to late round misses (over his ten years, he's only had three players from round 2 through 7 stick around - ILB Bernardrick McKinney, RT Derek Newton and TE Ryan Griffin). 

He's got his share of hits in FA (Jonathan Joseph, Danieal Manning, even Lamar Miller) but he had a few colossal misses (letting Glover Quin walk in favor of a broken Ed Reed, letting Brandon Brooks walk for nothing, letting AJ Bouye walk for nothing). He made a big mistake in Brock Osweiler, but he also worked his way out of it in a very unique way (stapling a 2nd round pick to Osweiler and shipping him to Cleveland). The intent was to use the freed up cash to sign Tony Romo, but he pivoted to Deshaun Watson very well once Romo went to CBS.

His first round record is nothing short of stunning (only two misses with Amobi Okoye and Kevin Johnson) and he really did a solid job with the salary cap. He also had a knack for UDFAs (Arian Foster, Mike Breisel, Dylan Cole and a few other key guys on the team thanks to Smitty's crew). But that mid round track record was pretty bad, guys wouldn't even make gameday rosters and would be cut within a year of being drafted - no ST snaps, no rotational snaps, nothing. He built a strong core, but that supporting cast was dust in the wind because everyone drafted late never stuck. When he let home grown talent walk, he never had adequate replacements - and when he scrambled to find a guy, he bombed very hard.

This all being said, I'd take him over BoB. Every time.
