His time is running out. Too old to relate to younger players, I believe
Carroll has more energy and enthusiasm than most of his players so I don’t believe his age to be a factor.

I don't agree with that assessment. The last few drafts have not yielded much for the Seahawks so it's no wonder that they're in "rebuild mode" right now.

I'm pretty sure that everyone who follows the 'hawks KNOWS that Geno Smith isn't worth a rip. How he's managed to draw an N.F.L player's paycheck (even for doing little more than holding a clipboard) all these years is beyond me. I was willing to give Drew Lock a chance but he blew HIS chance at starting Week 1 by missing pre-season game #2 (COVID) and then starting pre-season game #3 and throwing three picks during it. No - those two will probably "flip-flop" at QB all season and then next season the Seahawks will probably have to go find themselves a new one (maybe a new H.C., as well).

Based on the MNF game last night, the NFL desperately wants Brady and the Bucs to make the playoffs for a last "hurrah" or the Saints were a pathetic victim of another jedi mind trick.
How do you blow a 16-3 lead with what, seven minutes left ? The Saints running back goes out of bounds needing one extra yard for the first down? Then they miss on a 3rd and 1 pass? The defense commits a pass interference on a 2nd and 20? Then the defense gives up not one but two TDs with the game winner with three seconds on the clock ... A chokejob indeed

Yeah, the NFL so desperately wants Brady and the Bucs to make the playoffs that Roger Goodell personally ordered his officials to call back the game-winning TD because of offensive holding with 19 seconds to play so the Bucs had to do it again.

If I remember right, that Matt Ryan fumble was on the Falcons next possession, or at least shortly thereafter....it's really Brady's leadership, getting his teammates to believe they can still win, with a quarterback, that permeates through the entire team....

The Panthers/Patriots Super Bowl was really close, too....
This was the one that really ground my gears.

And it had a huge impact on the game. Was the hold called on ATL...of course. But was the most obvious flagrant facemask against NE called to offset things? Nope. I can't even fathom a situation in any game where a Jets player does this and it does not get flagged.

I realize Sanu has got a vicious facemask straight arm going too, but doesn't negate the fact that the Patriot pretty much pulled him down by the facemask and helmet
