Yeah but you can't really call Rex's shuffle off to Buffalo as a step down. Winning in NYC is not winning in Buffalo. I think it could work, but it could end up like his Dad. Buddy after nearly getting in a sideline fight with June Jones as a coordinator on one of Jerry Glanville's crazy ass Oilers clubs was one coach who also came and fell as a Cardinal head coach. His dad's record as a head coach was 55-55-1. Rex Ryan's record is now 46-50.

Gary Kubiak possibly going to Denver makes total sense if they don't promote the OC. Kubiak is Elway's old backup and was there most of his career. Kubiak pretty much went from backup to being a coach in Denver. I kinda always thought he seemed like a pretty smart coach at least style wise. I think that classic Denver style of zone blocking running game is a pretty good idea if you can get a line that can make it work. Kubiak had all sorts of QB issues more often injuries taking out his starter.

I got the Wild Card week games right. I didn't vote on division games but I would have picked Denver and figured Baltimore to be the possible upset possibility.

Carolina held up pretty decent for a while in that game with Seattle. Their linebackers are ace and can cover a crap load of field. If they can keep big guy healthy at QB and get a big athletic WR to give their game some oomph, they could be a good offense. Greg Olsen is really good, Bears shouldn't have let him leave. Stewart is a good back.

Indy's defense tackled really well last week and got some pass rush. Luck's got a big arm, he can through that tight deep ball like Dan Marino and Kurt Warner. He definitely doesn't rely on a high arc rainmaker for his deep pass.

Broncos plan seemed off after the first drive. They seemed to get alot of yards rushing but somehow couldn't get it going. They kept going for the deep ball when it was obvious Manning didn't have the fast ball. Denver couldn't get JACK for pass rush. I don't remember hearing DeMarcus Ware's name much at all during the game.
