Around the NFL- Week 9

Colts-

I understand protecting your franchise QB and allowing them to play through a slump. But firing the OC? I bet Luck himself hates the decision, after all they been together since college. Nevermind the offense functioned fine with a washed up 40 y/o Matt Hasselbeck. The offense has been good for what 2-3 seasons now. Luck hits a bad stretch and it looks like the FO is in a panic.

Luck needs to play better.

49ers-

Niners are taking the opposite tact. Instead of protecting their QB they're blaming him. Meanwhile what has their OC proven to say that the scheme isn't the problem?

I guess looking at both extreme situations I think the Colts wrong decision will ultimately been less damaging.
Easier to find an OC then a QB.

Look who their owner is? Irsay looks like he'll drink a bottle of Jack, do a few bumps then pop a few pills after a loss. He's a complete mess as an owner. He's out of control on Twitter and fights with his GM after games. He just seems like too much of a "win or else" type of guy.

Pagano is next, he's gone once the season is over.

Wow. Hardy is even more of a scumbag than I we could have imagined.

... oh wait, I meant "Leader."

Guy at work just sent me this...and said "does Dallas sign Hardy if this came out before?"

Yeah I saw the pictures and nothing I saw makes me change my view on it. Imo they look like wounds that you could reasonably argue were self defense. The only thing I'll say for Hardy is he could've walked away. That's what I would've done. Just walk away. Don't get into argument. Just leave. They can't stop you from leaving.

Ok, why are people not angry with her? If she really did take the money instead of sending him to prison, then why do you care more than her?

Hardy is arguably the best defensive player in the league.

No way in hell you let a talent like that walk. Who cares about PR? It's about winning championships and Hardy makes us a championship contender.

I'd air quote the "women" angle. she is a coke head - everything she says and does is taken with a huge grain of salt.

Feel bad for Hardy though. Dude is being railroaded. It was clear as day this wasn't some brutal assault like people made it seem. He was essentially suspended all of last season and then the NFL had the audacity to suspend him for 10 games this year. Now this comes out. He clearly wants to move on. Just let him. He's clearly a good dude. Yeah if you wanna say he shouldn't put himself in that situation by dating crazy women okay, but he's not this violent psychopath. We know how great is he is on the field. I hope we secure Kraken and he's a Cowboy for life.

So if you're being attacked you would just take it?

He HAD to defend himself.

I mean hell who is to say she didn't throw herself on the bathtub so she could make it look like he violently attacked her?

Dude should be locked up

Dude should be locked up

Or suspended from the league indefinitely.

Jerry Jones Should Hold on to Greg Hardy Forever as His Damn Scarlet Letter | The Big Lead (http://thebiglead.com/2015/11/06/jerry-jones-greg-hardy/)

this is so well said:

"So, I hope the Dallas Cowboys organization isn’t gutless and acts like something has now changed. Nothing has changed since they opted to give him a contract, something they were free–but not required–to do once he paid his way out of a conviction.

I know that visual evidence can shock the senses. And as much as we like to think it doesn’t, it matters in public perception. But trust me, this is the same upstanding guy who cleans up his assault weapons in an orderly fashion before police can arrive on the scene, who has come out guns a-blazing with the Cowboys, and gets teammates fired up at games. Double down on him.

The coward’s way out would be to reverse course now with your public comments and support of Hardy, Mr. Jones. Stick with him, because the Greg Hardy who did those things in those pictures and accounts is the same guy you want leading your team on Sunday."

Well said, well said

Fans encouraged man to shoot victim after Cowboys game | New York Post (http://nypost.com/2015/10/12/fans-encouraged-man-to-shoot-victim-after-cowboys-game/)

Witness Lester Peters told the Star-Telegram the suspect first held a gun to the victim’s head, adding, “I didn’t think he was going to pull the trigger.’’

Greg Miller told the paper the security “definitely needs to be stepped up,’’ and the suspect had held a gun to his friend’s head.

“Fight broke out, a couple of guys. All their friends jumped in. It was a big brawl. Next thing you know, I looked up, one of my buddies was trying to get a girl off the bottom of the pile,’’ Miller said.

“One guy walks up to him and put a gun to up his head, you know, about to shoot him. The guy ended up letting my friend go. I go to grab my friend so we can leave, I had my back turned, all I heard was a gunshot. Turn around, he shot somebody else while they were fighting.’’

That's funny, why would the Redskins go after a similar style QB like RGIII when they know it won't work.
