    I don't like how this is Tebow-related in the article, but:

    Fantastic read I just stumbled upon (a little late, yes I know). Tackling has become fucking abysmal in this league.

    Very interesting article, kudos to you.

    And going to reinstate my happiness with my beloved Arizona Cardinals winning against the 49ers. Great game, and I love my Larry Fitzgerald and I really wish Skelton would be our full time QB.

    Blame the NFL highlight reel films that only show the big hits. Remember when people were taught to wrap up guys when they are tackling them and not just throw your shoulders at them. Good times.

    Well that's it for the Bears. I promiss you guys that if Bears make the playoff I'm gonna run naked around my house.... How I mean I'm speakless. Wtf are Barber doing ..... With a Lions win and Falcon win aswell, I know Bears chances are = 0% to make the playoff unless a christmas miracle happens.

    Hopefully the Bears have a hole "new" team without Mike M. Knox and J.A Those fucking retards must leave the club, if Bears wants to win another superbowl. Get Cutler, Forte and back and buy new WR1# and WR2#... The Chicago Bears have let me down...

    Unsurprisingly, Todd Haley has been fired by the Chiefs.

    ,,, and take Rob Ryan with him. Man, it's hard to watch that Dallas team. Never liked them but I actually felt sorry for them last night.

    I honestly think a 13 year old kid selecting plays using the madden interface would be better then over half the coaches in the league at playcalling. My vikings included. PUT ME IN COACH! I WON SIX STRAIGHT SUPER BOWLS ON ALL MADDEN!

    Sounds a lot like last year too, when Childress, Singletary, and I forgot who else, were fired.

    Teams getting a jump on the Black Monday rush. Kinda have to knowing there are a few gigantic names out there and multiple big jobs possibly opening up. Gotta get em while you can before Jerry Jones throws millions at them.

    I doubt any of the big name coaches, Fischer, Gruden, Cowher, etc., are going to go to Dallas. Why would they when they won't be able to control their team because of the owner always having to put in his two cents. He has already alienated multiple big name coaches in the past. Seems like a stupid plan for any of the big name coaches as it won't be their team.

    I was surprised when "The Tuna" went to Dallas a few years ago so it could happen but I wouldn't bet on it. Sad to say but it's going to come down to him passing away before Dallas gets a GM and a head coach to run that team.

    Depends. I mean like Skar said, he did manage to drag in Parcells for awhile. I definitely don't think Cowher would be an option, as he apparently wants full control of everything and we know Jerry won't go that far.

    Oh hey Chiefs fans, if part of the headline for this doesn't make you sick, find yourselves a Bronco fan and ask them for an opinion on it.

    Love color commentators:

    Marshawn Lynch runs a hard run, breaking several leg tackles, only to be tackled up high at the end of the run:

    Ron Jaworski: "You cannot tackle Marshawn Lynch high, go low, grab the legs!"

    Harrison got a one game suspension. More than I honestly thought he would get, but you can't help but be disappointed in the league for this. Suh gets two games for bruising a guys arm. Harrison gets one for being a repeat, repeat offender on a play where you can actually severely injure a guy.

    Yeah I was surprised as well I figured that he would have gotten 2 games min just for the fact that he is a repeat offender and it was against a QB. Just wondering if it was against Brady do you think he would have gotten 2 games.

    Big letters make me angry. Ya I was real, real sad they lost that game. You can tell though that they are going to be a decent team with a few more pieces added. Cam is doing way better than I ever would have guessed. Speaking of NFC South, how the hell did the Bucs lose that bad to the Jags? They were up 14-0 and dominating them in the first and then just yikes. How do you let Blaine Gabbard score 41 points. His name is freaking Blaine.
