Bills04 65 Posted 21 hours ago The G-Men's DC definitely had to go.. Giants fired DC Shane Bowen. The dismissal of Bowen has felt like a foregone conclusion for weeks, especially after losses to the Broncos and Bears in which they held double-digit leads with less than six minutes left. The Giants blew their fifth 10-point, fourth quarter lead of the season in Week 12’s loss to the Lions to tie an NFL record. The blown leads compounded with a defense that ranks 30th in both yards and points allowed simply became too much for a Giants team that is finishing out eight’s eighth losing season of the last nine years. Interim head coach Mike Kafka had the Giants in position to pull off an upset road win over the Lions but were outscored 17-0 after grabbing a 27-17 lead. Kafka has been a hot name in coaching circles over the last few offseasons, and is auditioning to become the next coach of the Giants over the final six weeks of the season, and needs all the help he can get from the staff in place. Kafka is expected to name an interim defensive coordinator in the near future. Raiders fired OC Chip Kelly. Kelly’s time with the Raiders lasted just 11 games, yet this move still feels past due. The offense averaged 4.6 yards per play, 6.67 yards per pass play and 3.5 yards per carry. The Raiders’ front office signed Kelly to a contract that paid him $6 million per year, back in February, making him the NFL’s highest-paid offensive coordinator. His results were extremely disappointing. Seeing him return to the college ranks would be unsurprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 754 Posted 19 hours ago I'm not sure why the offensive game plan was to continue dropping back Geno Smith against the Browns defense. Perhaps Chip Kelly wanted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
