NFL Week 13- The Crossed Giblets Of Death Edition

If I recall correctly, Fassel some habits and foibles that were problems.

 

It's A Shame About Ray.

 

Baron-
Handley was put in a bad position, in fairness to him.
Parcells pulled his usual horsecrap and didn't resign until May of that year, which handcuffed the front office.
So Handley was making his head coaching debut for an old, veteran team little more than three months after he got the job. That's fucked.

But what made him so bad was just the nonstop turbulence. He feuded with the media on a weekly basis, alienated players. A tough team became soft-serve ice cream overnight.
Wrong guy for the wrong team at the wrong time.
Then there was the infamous Handley polo, which screamed 1991 in a way few things ever have.

 

Props to the music people at NBC.
Go to break with The Cranberries.

 

I have never seen ineptitude on a football field like the Saints on those onside kicks. It was like they'd never seen one before and didn't know they were supposed to get the ball.

 

Yeah, I forgot about Parcells’ exit.

That shirt is going to give me nightmares.

 

I don’t recall what they were. I do remember seeing some teams hiring some retreads and wondering why Fassel was never considered because he did have that one NFC title on his resume.

 

Garrett is toast. He didn’t have his team ready to play today. His team tuned him out. He’ll be walking the Blue Mile.

 

They did the exact same thing against the Bears earlier this year. They were up big, and then allowed the Bears to recover two onside kicks to make it a lot closer than it needed to be.
In fact, I think there have been four successful onside kicks in the NFL this season -- all of them against the Saints.

 

Many rumors of partying and womanizing, but those things alone would be disqualifying for more than a couple of HCs. It is likely a Ted Nolan situation in which is wasn't just what he was doing but who he was doing it with.

 

Interesting. I'd not heard that before.
