NFL Hot Seat Rankings After Week 13

Matt Eberflus became the latest coach to lose his job after Week 13. Below are the others in danger:

1 Doug Pederson – Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence being embattled by injuries only ups the odds Pederson will be fired any day.

2 Zac Taylor – Bengals

He is wasting the prime years of his superstar players. Last year’s disappointing season can be blamed on injuries, but this one can’t.

3 Antonio PierceRaiders

It’s tough to fire a guy after one year of being your full time head coach. However, Pierce had half a season last year, this year has looked pretty bad, and it seems like the Raiders could be looking for a fresh start with a new coach and quarterback

4 Mike McCarthy – Cowboys

I’m impressed how the Cowboys have played without Dak Prescott. However, I don’t think it’ll be enough to save his job.

5 Brian Daboll – Giants

Daboll is a good coach, but the Giants are a bad team. Unfortunately, he could be a casualty of bad roster decisions made by the front office.

NFL Week 13 Reaction

Indianapolis Colts (6-7) @ New England Patriots (3-10)

Brutal game for the Pats. The put together their best offensive performance of the year, but could not finish drives. They dominated on both sides of the ball, but didn’t put the game away when they had opportunities.

And Mayo once again had a coaching blunder on the last drive of the game. He needs to improve on and off the field.

Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) @ Baltimore Ravens (8-5)

The Eagles continue to win games. They did not play their best, and in some aspects the Ravens outplayed them, but they were able to beat a great team on the road. They are firmly in Super Bowl contention.

San Francisco 49ers (5-7) @ Buffalo Bills (10-2)

Given the weather and injuries to the 49ers, this game was a blowout, as expected.

NFL Week 12 Reaction

New England Patriots (3-9) @ Miami Dolphins (5-6)

This game went horribly. The Dolphins completely outplayed the Patriots and the game was over so fast. The Pats now have lost their last 5 games in Miami by at least two possessions.

Not only were the Pats outplayed, but they played with no discipline whatsoever and kept hurting themself with mistakes.

Both tackles played so poorly and it’s becoming clear that is their biggest weakness that needs to be addressed with their first round pick.

Mayo’s postgame comments are going to fan more flames on the fire. Similar to after the Jacksonville game, they are being blown out of proportion, but Mayo still needs to be smarter when at the mike.

San Francisco 49ers (5-6) @ Green Bay Packers (8-3)

Green Bay unsurprisingly dominated. The Packers are a great team but somehow are in 3rd place in their own division. Meanwhile, the 49ers basically keep losing to injuries rather than teams as they cannot get healthy.

Baltimore Ravens (8-4) @ Los Angeles Chargers (7-4)

Thanksgiving might be awkward for the Harbaughs after John beats Jim in a close game. For the rest of us, this was a super entertaining game. The Chargers are knocking on the door of being great, but the Ravens are better in these close game scenarios.

NFL Week 12 Predictions

New England Patriots (3-8) @ Miami Dolphins (4-6)

The Patriots have always struggled playing in Miami. With all the injuries they are dealing with, those struggles should continue. I think the Dolphins win, cover (-7.5), and the over (46.5) hits.

San Francisco 49ers (5-5) @ Green Bay Packers (7-3)

Something must be in the water in San Francisco. The 49ers add more injuries to their growing list with Purdy, Bosa, and potentially Trent Williams out for the game. I think the Packers easily win, cover (-5.5), and the under (44) hits.

Baltimore Ravens (7-4) @ Los Angeles Chargers (7-3)

The best matchup of the weekend. I think the Ravens win, cover (-2.5), and the under (51) hits.
