There are many ways to gauge "worst NFL division ever." But the 2019 NFC East is making an argument for that honor. Seriously. That group is trending towards history, and not the good kind. The NFL Power Rankings after Week 13 are in. https://t.co/wpGZscXoDx

This is what he does...such a nice job getting a hand on & stabbing the slanting 3T while immediately getting eyes outside to the next threat, then attacking & finishing him once he declares inside. pic.twitter.com/eLMDzdRxRG

Moreau has been such a significant upgrade over Norman. It’s entirely possible that the last two games would have been losses had Norman been playing.

Safety Landon Collins, who had a team-best eight tackles and blitzed effectively in the second half, said the Redskins knew the Carolina run game "like the back of our hand" which is how they held back Christian McCaffrey to 44 yards on 14 carries. He... https://t.co/xhk6WhMUPU

7. Cardinals: 3-8-1
8. Jaguars: 4-8
9. Jets: 4-8
10. Chargers: 4-8
If they don't end up with a top 5 pick, then Flores needs to be considered for Coach of the Year. What he has done with what they have got... it's unbelievable.
— Ken Wright (@KenWrig8675309) December 2, 2019
I actually have more respect for this years team than any 'Phins team in the past decade.
Gosh, how awful would it be for them to finish the season with 3 first round picks, a gazillion in cap space and lots of young dudes buying into the system when they could be following in the footsteps of ... the #Browns.

Teams who have traded the fewest of their original draft picks since 2016:

30. Lions: 11

T-24: Bengals/Steelers: 13
23. Panthers: 15
Kevin O’Connell came up with some really nice designs for the #Redskins on Sunday. Loved this play as it combines 2 of the most effective RB passes recently. Made to look like 4 verts with a jet sweep fake and RB replacing the slot receiver up the seam, but turns into RB Sail. pic.twitter.com/wLJ3Fu1RPJ
— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) December 3, 2019
Here’s one of Haskins’ best throws of the game. 3rd & 15, didn’t panic or bail at the 1st sign of pressure, simply stepped up to his left to avoid the rush before resetting to throw. Deliberately places ball low and away from Kuechly in coverage, Sprinkle drops it. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/5jv9pjC2AW

Morgan Moses missed the second half of Sunday's win with a back injury, but expect No. 76 to play vs. Green Bay.

Simmons is nice, but he's a hybrid S/LB. We have that now with Landon Collins, who BTW has 101 tackles on the season. Even if we went to a 4-3, I think we have that covered with Foster, Holcomb, SDH and Bostic.

The #Panthers have fired coach Ron Rivera.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 3, 2019
Just spitballing cuz front office change has to occur before we can really talk about the future, but this wouldn't be a bad #Redskins coaching staff to me:
— Ian Cummings (@ian_cummings_9) December 3, 2019
HC: Jim Caldwell
OC: Kevin O'Connell
DC: Ron Rivera
Ron Rivera will be attractive to any team with a HC opening. Will have options.. But: hiring a coach with previous experience is a definite plus here. Believe Skins know this too. They know they need a good leader; not just an offensive-minded HC. With KOC here, can go D.
— John Keim (@john_keim) December 3, 2019
Ron Rivera is a two-time Coach of the Year, and he took a team to a Super Bowl. Anyone considering an upgrade at coach for 2020 should consider him carefully.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) December 3, 2019
Perry Fewell gets the interim job which is...interesting.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) December 3, 2019
You don't get a lot of consistent answers in Ashburn but pretty much everyone will tell you Fewell was a disaster here. Like. Nobody liked him.
Just got off the phone with a member of the Panthers coaching staff. They told me they were in “complete shock” when Rivera informed them he had been let go.
— Tiffany Blackmon (@tiffblackmon) December 3, 2019
#Panthers are one of those teams in need of a complete organizational overhaul.

This is super impressive. Imagine Dan Snyder doing this interview. He has never done anything like this in his 20+ years as owner. Really like the transparency here. https://t.co/6kunCz6Mxy

Dave Tepper, sitting with local media. He says he just thought it was time. He said he was informed of other teams conducting searches elsewhere, and didn't want to start a search without telling Rivera. Says he has a lot of respect for him. Didn't want a competitive disadvantage

On the day I was traded to the @Panthers in 2011, every player who played for Ron in Chicago said the same thing to me on my way out. “You are going to play for a great coach, but a better man”.

I am so proud to have shared this 9 yr journey together with you @RiverboatRonHC
The Washington Redskins and the Carolina Panthers were both 6-3 last season. They then lost six of their last seven to finish 7-9, and now are two teams to let go of their coach midseason.

Many believe this is only the start of several changes in Carolina. Analytics, I'm told, will play a big role going forward.

Longest-tenured NFL head coaches:
— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) December 3, 2019
1-Bill Belichick, Patriots (2000)
2-Sean Payton, Saints (2006)
3-Mike Tomlin, Steelers (2007)
4-John Harbaugh, Ravens (2008)
5-Pete Carroll, Seahawks (2010)
6-Jason Garrett, Cowboys (2010)
7-Andy Reid, Chiefs (2013)
8-Mike Zimmer, Vikings (2014)
Chances are no one is going to confuse Freddie Kitchens with Bill Belichick right now, but it's still worth pointing out:
— Roberto Shenanigans (@Rob_Shenanigans) December 3, 2019
Belichick went 6-10 in his rookie head coaching season with the Browns, and he had Kosar, Metcalf, Mack, Slaughter, Langhorne, Matthews, Turner, Perry, etc.
Has a team ever given up on a larger investment faster than the Jaguars with Nick Foles? He signed an $88M deal this offseason and they are benching him after 10 quarters.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 3, 2019
(Matt Flynn only got 3 years and $26M before you say him).
Yo @NFL. Here are top 5 rushing teams:

Aaron Rodgers' value is entirely driven by his outstanding TD/INT ratio, which is the best in the league. But he's been a step BELOW average at the most fundamental thing a QB does, i.e., gaining positive yards. pic.twitter.com/XiP61C2JfX

Jerry Jones on @1053thefan said he’s seen list of rumored candidates to be the Cowboys’ coach in 2020, “but they can’t guarantee me or my fans a Super Bowl.” Believes Garrett has skill set to lead a team there. “In my opinion, Jason Garrett will be coaching in the NFL next year.”

If the Browns fire Kitchens they'll be on their 8th head coach in 10 years. I don't know how a franchise expects to win like this.
