NFC North / NFL Thread 2017-18

Oakland...

I can see Oakland not wanting another new team if its not the Raiders.

I think Mexico City is an intriguing possibility.  Opens up a new market, NFL has already done tests at Azteca, and its a shorter flight from almost all Midwestern/Northeastern teams than LA or Seattle, so the travel isn't an issue.

Wanting? Yes.  Paying for a new stadium? No

Oakland...

My best guess is the San Francisco 49ers will stop that with all their might.

Haven't seen the guaranteed portion yet, but the Adams re-signing seems like a good deal for both sides. I think he got about market value, we'll see where the guarantees lie in the front end, but seems fair. It's now certain that either Cobb or Nelson (or both) will be gone next year.

The Ice Bowl happened 50 years ago today.  Great article in today's Journal/Sentinel.  It's a long read, but worth it.  I was only nine, but know two folks that attended:  a close friend who went with his father, and my father-in-law, who loves to tell a tale concerning getting a cup of hot chocolate during the third quarter, when someone bumped into him and it spilled on his leather coat, and turned into instant ice crystals.

Anyway, here's the article:

Word is that Capers is out after today, with Fangio being the first replacement target.

Fangio has made no secret that he's heading out to the west coast.

[tower912]

Caldwell likely gone, Matt Patricia the first choice.

West coast of Lake Michigan?
Are there any West Coast DC gigs open? Maybe Oakland, if Gruden goes there, but he's never had a 3-4 coordinator. Don't see any coaching changes in LA, Seattle or San Francisco. Is Arizona close enough?

Knot Milton Plum, hey?

I phrased that poorly. He has made no secret his desire to move back to the west coast.

Finally!!

Rotoworld said it best:

"Although never quite terrible, Capers' defenses annually left something to be desired. Overachieving was never on the list of potential outcomes."

I think the last 3 years qualifies as terrible to me. The concerning thing was the same errors being made over and over.

[Dish]

Ted Thompson out. That's not going to be good news for McCarthy.

[hairy worthen]

No,  thompson needed to go. I hope McCarthy  stays I think he is still a good coach. packers should promote Elliot wolf 

[wadesworld]

Ted is staying with the organization. Mac is safe as can be. Everyone held accountable...except for him.

in what capacity

[wadesworld]

in what capacity

Not sure. Just said expected to remain with the organization in a different roll.

he deserves to go out with dignity but they have some young guys that they will lose if they don't give them a chance
