Whether it was off man coverage or not, this is a rough stat line against him...

Ultimately secondary sunk them in end: Melvin was nice story but gave up 15 catches for 224 yards, two TDs vs. Pats. Not the answer yet.

But how don't you give catches when you're asked to play off the receiver for almost entire game? I'm pretty sure those monster yards include big passes to Gronk on which Melvin actually came in to make tackles.

whoa whoa whoa, sure tackler, what game were you watching? nobody back there was tackling well at all

Melvin missed a single tackle all game and got beat on that deep one with no safety help. All in all, played decent game considering what he was asked to do.

He's also had issues handling an offense though, and the QB situation is not good in Buffalo.  He should go to Atlanta if he has a choice.

His choice is great - either coach QBless or Dless team.

Thanks, man!

Go Ravens!

Could someone help me out and find this for me?

Who is currently the longest tenured offensive coordinator? I wish there was some list out there for this. Just curious on the matter.

Wiki has this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_National_Football_League_offensive_coordinators

Byron Maxwell would be awesome as he is one of the best CB in the league.  That being said he's gong to want much more money than we can offer.  smh

At the moment, he isn't a starter. I hope that can bring the rate down somewhat.

J. Urschel has an interesting write-up here:

http://www.theplayerstribune.com/math-meets-football-the-transitive-property-is-real/

Transitive property says it's Ohio State.

Starting to tick me off that nobody's getting hired. We have to go deeper than I thought to keep Kubiak.

I'm the same, and I'm starting to think Kubiak's going to be an even hotter commodity than we realised.

 

Didn't the majority of the franchises that fired someone shortly after the 2013 season end up hiring within the week?

Was just thinking about this. It's a bit unnerving considering how quickly it happened last year but what can you do... It was always going to come to what Kubs really wants.

That would limit his movement which is his bread and butter ability;  GB won't go far into the playoff.......

If his Oline has a decent game I hope he still torches Dallas secondary. They can't stop Cobb and Nelson.

 

I wonder what kind of offense the Bengals will be having with Green, Sanu, a healthy Marvin Jones, Eifert, Gresham, Bernard, and Jeremy Hill.

Average, considering you left out the main ingredient - Lolton.

Byron Maxwell, Cory Redding.

I would love to have a spot for Fitz in case he doesn't take a paycut. Time for him to have a real shot at SB.

I just hope trend stops now. Was rooting for FSU and Bama. Getting little too nervous for Saturday game.

Lane Kiffin knows he has a run game, right?

 

That pass on 1st down was very strange call.

Bad, bad pass. That DE was there already and Sims just threw it to him.

Complete meltdown. Looking back at the whole FSU season, it had to happen I guess.

Aguayo the "best college kicker I've ever seen".

 

Maybe the best since a certain Longhorn.

Maybe he hadn't seen any Texas games?

I'd like a bomb to Greene now

This is like watching Seahawks secondary - Ducks get away with everything.

The freakish talent at RB isn't going to slow down any time soon.

I've got my eyes on Derrick Henry 

I'm pulling for Winston in this one.

O'Leary pulled a hammy in warmups, that can be huge.

Seriously?

 

And this is a guy who is supposedly getting his team ready for a playoff run?

The cockiness of the Broncos never ceases to amaze me. Thank God for Kubiak's "uh, I'm a little too busy this week."

Yeah but Denver O is run by Manning, anyway.

If he can handle Antonio Brown this week he's a keeper.

That's pretty tough condition to put on a guy with 2 NFL career starts. He's a keeper regardless of what happens on Saturday but if he handles him well, it will let us go BPA in the draft and maybe even get that 1st round WR that we crave for.

Suh won his appeal and he'll play this weekend.

I hope Dallas O-line runs him over every time they line up.

Maybe already addressed somewhere else, but does Jim's exit from SF mean we are gonna put a hold on the planned preseason joint practices with that team from here on out?

Yes.

Better Harbs addressed that during presser briefly today. Nothing official but he said that it's safe to say that the preseason trip to SF next year is off the table.

The search to replace Jim Harbaugh begins within the NFC West. The 49ers have asked permission to interview Seahawks DC Dan Quinn and Cardinals DC Todd Bowles. The 49ers also have interest in Broncos OC Adam Gase, as does the Falcons.

Falcons also asked for permission to talk to Bowles. They sent another one to Detroit, asking to speak with T. Austin. Schefter reported this but I can't find a video to post the link.
