    Packers fans and Steelers fans tend to be one of the most spoiled fanbases on average. Doesn't surprise me at all.
    I love this game against the Raiders though. If we win, it's a win. If we lose, we're one step closer to drafting Bosa.

    Nice win & the COLTS run game hasn’t been this good since 85 :)

    Also you don’t even have Relegation in the NFL as that can add a whole other level of fan WORRY about there team :D.

    Usually when a HC is axed mid-season, they ride it out with an "interim" coach, usually one of the coordinators. Since that (likely) won't be happening, I'm really curious how they are going to handle this one.

    Also - gotta give the organization credit for trying to stay "stable" and sticking with Hue for so long. Once they finally got some talent this year, it became all too evident that the problem wasn't entirely the players.

    Damn, you beat me to the punch!

    Todd Haley would be my guess. You just know he was gunning for that job ever since he took the offensive coordinator gig in Cleveland and based on what I've seen on the sidelines, he looked like someone who didn't want to sanction Hue's buffoonery.

    That would be a shocker considering he was also fired!

    Oh, damn. Looks like you're right. The previous article is slightly outdated, making it appear that it was either going to be one or the other.




    I guess this isn't really all that surprising in the end. Moving on from Hue makes sense for a lot of reasons:
    1. He was a terrible head coach.

    I take it there he isn’t that good then in terms off offense & there next game is against KC this could be ugly

    Also I think Ty Montgomery might not be that popular inGreen Bay though he may be @DarthSnow & @teline new favourite Green Bay player:p.

    Oh yeah, it could get real ugly - just not in the way you'd expect. Gregg Williams is most (in)famous for his role in orchestrating the New Orleans bounty scandal, an incident in which players of the Saints were found guilty of receiving bonuses or "bounties", for injuring opposing team players. The pool was apparently in operation from 2009 (the year in which the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV) to 2011.

    Gregg Williams was essentially the ringleader and had created the program soon after his arrival in 2009. Between 22 and 27 Saints players were involved and Williams pooled his own money to pay out performance bonuses. When the league found out, he was suspended indefinitely until he eventually found his way to Cleveland after the league overturned the decision.

    "Kill the head, the body will die." was one of his most notorious catchphrases.

    He is now their interim head coach. Whilst I doubt we'll get a Bounty Gate 2.0 out of this, I do find the situation amusing.

    BountyGate was also very unkind to Vikings legend Brett Favre, who got beat up by the Saints in the NFCCG that year. He was their "biggest target". He sustained dirty hits in the double digits that game.
    I think @DarthSnow likes Mason Crosby more. ;)

    Probably ended the career of Kurt Warner a bit prematurely in the process as well.
    Also, was DC in Washington when his D nearly decapitated Peyton Manning, possibly leading to all his neck issues.

    I saw something that said there have been only two teams that have yet to play in London, one is Green Bay and the other... I will have to look up. So, one of them better at least be Green Bay next year!
