I guess beating the steelers and a very hot seahawk team at home is slumping. *cough cough*

I dont want to sound like a homer but, Jim harbaugh turned around this team in 4 weeks before the openning season game.

Can you imagine what it would be like if every team had a new coach and only 4 weeks to install their scheme. is not like he did it with a playoff team, he grabbed a 6-10 team and has turned it in possibly a 13-3 team.

Rodgers/Brady: Play outdoors wind/rain/ cold/snow unless away game. The numbers they put up are more impressive

Rodgers/Brady any day.

what are you smoking dude?! the pack “more susceptible to issues with bad weather.”

do you forget where they play? who they play? Brees is in a dome and plays the MAJORITY of his games there because of their division as well.

If they’re truly “random” then by definition they likely won’t have any impact on the outcome at all. The only way it’d spell problems for Rodgers is if for some reason his supporters were more likely to be swayed to a longshot.

I think the biggest factor is going to be how many voters kept an open mind until the end of the season. The more who made up their minds earlier in the season, the better it is for Rodgers. Brees will benefit from voters who kept an open mind until the end and who are stats driven. Brady plays the spoiler but will likely suffer the effects of “been there, done that” syndrome in which the voters will pass over him for somebody who hasn’t accumulated quite so many accolades over the years.

Sorry but confrontation and drama is exactly what football is. It has nothing to do with wrestling which is just acting.

More like he was more concerned with celebrating the victory with his players than put up with Schwartz’s whining because he didn’t get the win himself. He heard the f-bomb and automatically assumed it was directed at him. Anything to deflect the fact that his team didn’t get it done.

Anyways, why are we having this discussion? If you as a viewer look for confrontation and drama instead of the game itself, there’s a more appropriate sport for you. It’s called pro wrestling.

I’m glad to see that someone else noticed what really happened that day. If a coach came bouncing across the field, showing me his belly and cursing at me , I’d have to knock him out.

get over it! Schwartz should not be consider for the COTY. Running down another coach and almost getting in a fight, letting his players complain and complain and complain, complaining himself, not controlling his players, etc.

I understand he has a batch of very aggressive players, but thats his job to control them. Not let them loose! Yes they dont lead the league in penalties but they do in fines. Thats worse in my book. To many flags after the whistle. I get Schwartz is doing good things and i hope he stays the course cause itll only make our division better (pack fan here, happy suhnami?) and more competetive. If your argument of what he has done in the past 3 years is what you have for COTY award, you need to read what it takes to be COTY. Someone already said it, but it doesnt count for three years, bro. Lions are good, but not great, and very easily could be left out of the playoffs. They still have a long way to go. And it starts with Schwartz. He acts like a kid. When he grows up, your team grows up, and your play will benefit. Until then, see ya in a week or so, get ready and good luck. Youll need it.

100 more completions, yet Rodgers gets a full yard more per attempt. Rodgers seems the more efficient QB by a hair and I think a lot of people are giving full credit for that. Either way, you can’t argue with either guy this year, but I do argue with the legendary comment. Neither guy qualifies for that.

The way Brees has been playing, even if GB won, he’s going to get his MVP votes, and perhaps even steal it altogether. Matter of fact, even as a Packers fan, I’m ready to hand it to him now. GB gets Chicago’s defense and a Lions team desperate to punch their playoff cards, and if the 49ers lose tonight, home field advantage with no real reason to push it. Saints get 2 games inside their comfortable dome against susceptible defenses.

Also, there was no way in hell McCarthy was going to be considered for the coach of the year. He would’ve gotten a couple votes, but that’s it. The Packers are defending champs. No one feels like they need any more cookies.

As for the playoffs being wide open, I’m not sure I agree (at least in the NFC). I’d be genuinely astonished if it wasn’t NO or GB. The AFC seems a lot more wide open though, especially if the Chargers sneak in (ugh, there I go sipping the kool-aid).

Awesome. Simply geekishly awesome

I know writers like to pass the time debating who wins what, but none of this crap matters unless you have a nice fat bonus clause in your contract. Otherwise, the only shelf hardware anyone wants is a Lombardi and the SB MVP that usually goes with it.

At the end of the day, the regular season MVP is worth jack because the only MVP worth winning is the SB MVP.

He’s a defensive coach whose defense is playing terrible.

John Fox should get COY hands down. He found a way to make his QB succeed without being an actual QB.”

Sorry, but can’t disagree more. Belichick is the HC; Josh Boyer has been the biggest issue (DB Coach) and should probably lose his job at the end of the season. Most teams would lose their focus and let statistics haunt their locker room, but BB and TB have always kept winning in perspective.

IMO, John Fox shouldn’t get any awards as he’s doing what other coaches have to do anyway: play with the cards you’re dealt. Where was Fox’s coaching ability with Orton was their QB? He is a good coach, I won’t disaagree; but COY? C’mon man!

haha that’s pretty good man… I try to find time once a year to watch the trilogy, and I believe you’ve inspired me to go ahead and get it over with.

As for Coach of the Year, I think Marvin Lewis at least deserves some consideration, since the Bengals were expected to be one of the worst teams in the league this year, and they’re still in the hunt for a Wild Card spot. But I think I’d still have to tip my hat to Jim Harbaugh for completely turning around the 49ers this year.
