    Lombardi wouldn't. When Lombardi went to Green Bay it might as well have been Cleveland. He took over a team that won 1 game the season before. A team that hadn't posted a winning season in a dozen years. A team that had averaged less than 4 wins per year over a 11 season stretch. His first year they went 7-5. the next year they played for the Championship. The year after that they won the Championship. From 61-68 they won 5 NFL titles, including the first two Super bowls in Lombardi's last two years as coach there. The following year the Packers had a losing season. They had losing seasons 14 out of the next 17 years. They wouldn't win another playoff game until 93.

    Then Lombardi took over the Redskins in 69.They hadn't had a winning season since 55. Lombardi led them to a 7-5-2 record and their first winning season in over a decade in his one year there.

    Lombardi lost his first playoff game. That was his last post season loss. He won his final 9 playoff games.

    Overall his regular season won loss record was 96-34-6. His post season record was 9-1. He won over 75% of the meaningful games he coached. That's why I laugh when people try to claim Bellichick is the greatest coach ever.. It's not even close.

    I mean yeah, but that was a lot easier to do back when the game was still evolving from semi-pro rugby. Big fish in a small pond. Lombardi would probably still be a very good coach today, but given how dramatically things have changed both on and off the field, it's impossible to say how it would translate. Hell, pair him with a shitty GM and a shitty front office, and no quarterback, and salary cap problems, and he may well have struggled in today's game.

    Dri Archer doesn't look like he has 4.26 speed when he plays, but he did look like it in college...

    Archer broke two maybe three tackles that whole video. The rest I would say was excellent blocking...

    which is something our kickoff returners receive none of.

    I'm not defending Archer, but the even bigger problem to me is Danny Smith...

    I'm on record saying Smith should have been gone two years ago. Archer isn't a good return guy. Combine that with shit for blocking and you have what we have...

    OK. It's not April 1st. Is this some other kind of joker's holiday?

    Why on earth did the Chargers release Jacoby Jones?

    What's even better is that apparently, when the Ravens found out he was released, there was apparently some interest in bringing him back there, but we beat them to it.

    I read that the Ravens weren't interested in Jones. We claimed him off waivers so if they had wanted him, they would've gotten him before we did.

    Jones was having a very bad year. Let's hope that he can improve for us.

    Re: For those wanting Dri Archer to be cut...

    Will Dri Archer be claimed on waivers?

    Posted by Mike Florio on November 6, 2015



    The decision of the Steelers to claim via waivers the target of Mike Tomlin’s Thanksgiving night trip attempt from two years ago was the headline. The corresponding decision to dump a 2014 third-round pick drew far less attention.

    Receiver Jacoby Jones is in, which means running back Dri Archer is out, only 20 regular-season games into an effort to make him into a jack-of-all-trades weapon who could give the offense an extra spark through raw speed.

    Archer was pick 97 last year, taken six spots before Falcons running back Devonta Freeman. Some thought Archer would go even higher after running the 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine in 4.26 seconds.

    But Archer simply couldn’t make an impact at the next level. And the Steelers finally decided to take an aging return specialist over a youngster who wasn’t fulfilling his potential.

    Haley should have been more creative like this play.

    #Steelers RB Dri Archer was not claimed. He’s now a free agent.

    I heard his agent has contacted the Keebler elves to work the chocolate chip line. He also put out a feeler to the North Pole.

    What's pathetic is Tomlin couldn't see this long ago. It seems Tomlin's obsession with the slight possibility of a splash play is more vital than consistent football.

    I think we all know this...I'm not sure the Rooneys can see this.
