In reality this virgin thing has been a joke that I think @Lost_In_Translation started? Lmao. But I can say I’ve never had a 1 night stand let alone a bad one so

Yeah it's a joke because a certain someone said that only virgins play fantasy football. My primary league that I am in is a league full of Deloitte partners who's kids I happen to be in school with. My dad let's me play on his behalf and I won close to $3,000 last time.
it's okay though. Because I am going to die alone anyways. I'll never find love. So more one night stands it is.

If we are looking for a new HC, I think we would be number one in terms of destination. The team is already pretty good, we've only have missed the playoffs by a game or two the past couple years outside of 2015 which was injury filled. Even when losing so many starters in 2015, we still swept the Steelers and were still very competitive. With Eric taking over, we are stable at the GM position and compared to Cleveland where a coach may not have that long to be a head coach. The other potential spots all pretty much are close to rebuilds and we wouldn't be anywhere near a rebuild so there would be job security.

Yeah, we are definitely a better looking destination than Cleveland at least. No one is going to want to coach that team as long as the Haslams are owners.

So Marty is still here this morning. Cannot say I'm surprised.
Harbaugh himself is a good coach. This is his fatal flas and it should cost him his job. We seriously need Steve to step in. Marty is going to ruin Lamar.

I believe Harbaugh to be a good coach too but sometimes you need a change and that time is now.
He won't have trouble finding a job.

What? You expected both of them to be gone? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The way I see it? Harbaugh gets fired on Black Monday and will have a job by the end of the week.
See that's my problem, if you have a top t coach, you don't get rid of him because other people screwed up. Packers aren't trading Rodgers because Packers are losing and suggesting it would be crazy.
For instance, were the Eagles better off after firing Andy Reid? The teams that win find a great coach and stick with them

Nope. I was hoping Marty as as "scapegoat" firing(even though he needs to go). But am also not surprised. Harbaugh will never let his bff go.

Perhaps this is viewing things too simplisticly ... but there are a coupe things I look to when I determine whether a coach is the fundamental problem or not. One is a lack of consistency and another is an inability to make adjustments when they are needed. Over the stretch of years we've fallen short, there would be a couple of games we would drop that you just have to say were absolutely inexcusable. We let too many of those games get away from us. Those are losses that have prevented playoff appearances.
This year - what are we? Are we the team that looked dominant in a road win vs. Steelers and the team that dominated the Titans on the road? Or are we this team that can't find a way to get off the field or find the end zone of just make plays when you need them? It would seem that teams have adjusted to our style of play and we're either incapable or unable to recognize what we need to do to counter act what teams are doing.
So if it isn't Harbaugh who has gotten us into this perpetual uneven series of performances that land us in that worst of both worlds place - not good enough to make the playoffs but not bad enough to get high draft picks - then who is? Is it all Flacco? Is it Ozzie/Eric? If you look at what this team has in personnel, is it not reasonable to expect better results?

There is something that has always bothered me but I've not really complained about it.
Watch most QBs when their defense is on the field. Even Brees vs. Rams after scoring the go-ahead TD and the Rams having 3 minutes to answer, he is sitting with a pad and a coach going over what they will want to do if they are called upon to go back on the field to win the game.
The camera goes to Flacco on the sidelines and he's sitting on the bench, by himself, often with a vacant stare into nowhere.
Perhaps this is one of those characterizations that others claim to be lame, such as not getting together with his WR group in the offseason. However, don't you think it could help to be looking at what the opposing defense has been doing and work with a coach to plan what should be done next? Or maybe it is all a show or isn't worth bothering with. I cannot say when I've ever seen Joe doing anything but sitting alone. This kind of goes hand and hand with the lack of urgency in urgent situations. Yes the game was lost, but do we really need 20 seconds after a sack to get everyone to the line of scrimmage and snap the ball?
Who is this on? Is it Flacco? The coaching staff doesn't play a role in this? How about demanding more? Or is this just "Oh well, Joe is who he is so there's no changing that"?

that's just your own biases - flacco does go through the tape on the sidelines on the bench going through plays etc. during the game with coaches - but naturally we only remember those times when he's seen sat alone
i understand (and even agree) with criticisms of flacco as a player but the work ethic idea and lack of leadership stuff has always been such a weird argument and has never drawn any real credence with reporters, beat writers, coaches, teammates etc. the only people who ever make claims like this are fans who have very selective memories...
yes it would be cool to see flacco fired up on the sidelines but that's never been his style
but to say he just sits there staring blankly doing nothing the whole time is misremembering 11 years of footage

Not fired up. I don't care about him running up and down yelling at guys like Rivers.
I don't think this is pure selective memory. I swear to God I didn't see him doing anything during the PIT game but starting into space every time they went to the sidelines.
And how about a hurry up offense. Knowing how to get everyone up to the line quickly and get a snap off? Is that too much to ask?
