RedZone just played some Jeff Fisher postgame quotes that I must transcribe here: "Jared's going to play when we feel Jared's ready. Had we won this game, you wouldn't be asking about Jared. Which I understand. We didn't lose this game because of quarterback play today. We lost at some other positions." "Kenny Britt stopped on the post. Didn't think he was primary, stopped on the post, [or] we have got a touchdown pass. I'll make changes at receiver before I make changes at quarterback." I was asleep for every snap of this game and have only seen a play or two in highlights. So it's quite possible Britt was dirt-terrible today and single-handedly cost his team the game. But even if that's true, he's still having the best season of any Rams offensive player since Steven Jackson in his prime, and you're going to name-drop him and throw him under the bus to stick up for your oughtta-be-a-backup quarterback, and insist that said quarterback is a better option than the top overall pick in the draft? And if that's true, then you utterly wasted the top pick in the draft, and you're missing out on one of the four seasons you get him under cheap contract before theoretically re-signing him to a big-money deal. This is all just such a mess and I can't fathom what makes Jeff Fisher a good enough coach to be worth retaining at this point. And he's a jerk. |
Fisher is just not a likeable person.
^^^THIS. Been saying this about both for a looooooong time
Fisher regular season: 165-150-1 (.524)
Lewis is an awful 0-7 in the postseason, though without the miracle in Buffalo play, Fisher is 2-6 in the postseason.
UFB. I don't get the love for this man.
Well that.....has nothing to do with anything. Thanks!

This isn't the play he is referring to. Earlier in the game Britt was wide open on a long pass, but seemed to have stopped on the route. The ball went about 5 yards over his head for what would have been a walk in 70 yard TD pass. That was 100% on Britt and a terrible play by him.

He is very sensitive about Fisher, I made a snarky remark about Fisher in the game thread and he went off on me.
Actually, those #s above from Wikipedia are wrong. Here are the correct numbers (assuming Wiki's annual records are correct):
Fisher: 172-160-1 (.517) in the regular season
Lewis: 115-98-2 (.535) in the regular season
Fisher: 6 app in 20 seasons (30%), excluding when he took over HOU. Though he hasn't made the postseason since 2008.
Lewis: 7 app in 13 seasons (54%), including 5 straight and 6 of the last 7 seasons.
Fisher is just not a likeable person.
I will start off by saying that I hate Fisher as much as the next guy.
I wouldn't be so sure about DRC beating out Britt. I started Britt in fantasy and checked out their past matchups. Britt went for over 100 when the Giants beat the Rams in late 2014, and way back in DRC's first pro bowl year in 2009 Britt torched him for 125 or so. Fair as I can tell they were primarily matched up. Britt is an inconsistent knucklehead, but he is physically the equal of damn near any of these guys. He is a bit taller and way heavier than DRC, with DRC a slightly better leaper.
Then when he finally plays it's a win-win scenario. Goff either plays well and makes Fisher look good. Or Goff plays poorly enough to go back to square one. Either way, Fisher keeps his job.
And you mean to tell me that Goff would be worse than what we saw from that stiff Keenum yesterday? Holy shit.
Fisher ranks THIRD in losses, in history! That's unreal.
@jdsbc98
@shalisemyoung Jeff Fisher needs 6 more losses to be #1 on all time NFL coaching losses. Will he make it this year?

Boston, MA
3rd with #1 in his sights...
Norv Turner coached 237 NFL games as a head coach. Surreal. Four playoff appearances in 15 years, and three of them came in his first three seasons in San Diego when he inherited a 14-2 team from Schottenheimer.
Only eight coaches have coached more games than Jeff Fisher.
Then when he finally plays it's a win-win scenario. Goff either plays well and makes Fisher look good. Or Goff plays poorly enough to go back to square one. Either way, Fisher keeps his job.

That theory might make sense had Fisher not just signed an extension.

The dude is absolutely miserable. If there's a thread ripping on anything about the Giants, he's right there in the middle of it. He hates everything that has anything to do with the Giants. Everything and everybody about the team sucks, if you'd believe his incredibly awful posts. Not sure why he even watches, much less post on a website about it it. If I hated everything about it that much, I'd find another hobby

Yeah, that might make sense if he actually signed it. Which he hasn't.

Dafuq?!?!
(...Oh, wait. Just saw who posted it. That explains it.)
This. This. This. I used to think Fisher wasnt they bad. He's horrible. And Lewis' best success was when he had Mile Zimmer.

So he was offered an extension, worth millions, which he is free to sign at any time, but you think he's making a calculated decision to preserve his job security. Wouldn't signing the extension accomplish exactly that?
You're not very good at deductive reasoning. Do we even know what gender the extension is?!
Did you see what the Bengals franchise was before Lewis? They at least make the playoffs now...they were terrible for many years before him.
At least Lewis gets to the playoffs.
Unfair to group Marvin Lewis with fisher. Lewis has made the playoffs for five straight seasons! Five! Ok he hasn't won a playoff game but that's still
A damn good run. Fisher hasn't made the playoffs in forever.

and Marvin Lewis keep their jobs year after year is beyond me.

CIN's best season since Lewis became head coach was last season, without Zimmer. And they might've won a postseason game with a healthy Dalton.
No, the dumbasses Burfict and Pacman were. But with Dalton at QB it might not have come down to that final drive.
