He’s uber- confident in his team and his quarterback, Carson Palm- er, despite Palmer’s mediocre performance in last year’s playoffs. Palmer had four touchdown passes and six in- terceptions in two playoff games, and he imploded in the NFC Championship Game against the Panthers. His con- fidence seems intact, but you can’t ignore what happened last year, or the fact he has only one playoff win. Larry Fitzgerald remains a vibrant receiver at age 33, and tail- back David Johnson was terrific last year as a rookie. The defense is outstanding on the back end with cornerback Patrick Peterson and safety Tyrann Mathieu, and Calais Campbell is a terrific defensive end. But this group isn’t yet in a class with the Seahawks.

    NFL GameDay Week 22 PREGAME – 1ST QUARTER SUPER BOWL 48 WAS THE MOST-WATCHED TELEVISION EVENT OF ALL TIME. IT FEATURED THE 2 BEST TEAMS AND THE LOUDEST SUPER BOWL CROWD EVER. THE SEAHAWKS HOPED TO TURN THE FREE KICK INTO A TOUCHDOWN. INSTEAD THEY HAD TO SETTLE FOR A FIELD GOAL WHEN PERCY HARVIN COULDN’T QUITE STAY IN BOUNDS. AFTER THE SAFETY, PEYTON MANNING WENT TO A SILENT COUNT FOR THE REST OF THE GAME IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH THE CROWN NOISE. BUT THERE WAS NO SILENCING SEATTLE’S NUMBER ONE DEFENSE (PAUSE) AND THE “L.O.B.,” THEIR “LEGION OF BOOM” SECONDARY. AHEAD 5 TO NOTHING, RUSSELL WILSON LED A 13 PLAY DRIVE.

  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.
