Following the Packers 20-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers have decided to move on from head coach Mike McCarthy.  In a press conference on Monday, Packers President Mark Murphy did say that he did not regret the extension, but that McCarthy had run his course as coach of the team. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, who also has head coaching experience with the Miami Dolphins after his first stint with the Packers, has been named as interim head coach. The Search Begins Joe Philbin Joe Philbin has been named the interim head coach for…

For the past few years, various clans of Packers fans have been clamoring for change. It started with some seemingly praying for a new defensive coordinator, which was granted after the 2017 season when Dom Capers was fired for Mike Pettine.  Others pointed the finger at management, blaming General Manager Ted Thompson for mediocre drafts and what seemed like an indignant disdain for signing free agents.  After 2017, Thompson stepped down and allowed Brian Gutekunst to take the reigns as the General Manager of the team. This left Mike McCarthy as the last remaining cog from the previous era that…

Dear NFL, Please fix this new rule that seemingly makes playing defense illegal.  The players and the fans will bend over backwards thanking you.  We don’t want to see people be hurt, but this is a contact sport.  After watching games the first two weeks, most of us have no idea what the defense is supposed to do anymore. When you started making jarring hits on defenseless receivers illegal, most of us were cool with it.  There is no need for some of the hits receivers were taking prior to the emphasis on safety. Then, we saw an emphasis of…

After 12 hours of meetings, Ohio State University has announced its findings in the investigation of Urban Meyer and his knowledge of former assistant coach Zach Smith’s domestic violence. This resulted in a three game suspension for Meyer and a two game suspension for Athletic Director Gene Smith. As FlurrySports wrote earlier, it was believed that Meyer had intimate knowledge of the 2015 allegations against Smith, and later lied at 2018 Big Ten Media Days about the allegations. Pictures of text messages showed proof of Meyer’s knowledge and thus his bold faced lies, with alleged knowledge of abuse going back…

With NFL Training Camp and preseason games underway, on paper every team still has a chance to hoist the Lombardi trophy in February. While in reality, most teams will know their fate by about Week 3 or 4. However, there is always excitement for this time of year. Here’s why each NFC West fanbase should be excited. Arizona Cardinals The Cardinals come into 2018-19 with a potentially high ceiling in an unsteady NFC West division. After landing the serviceable, but often injured, QB Sam Bradford, the Cardinals managed to land Josh Rosen with the 10th pick of the draft.…

While in reality, most teams will know their fate by about Week 3 or 4. However, there is always excitement for this time of year. Here’s why each NFC North fanbase should be excited. Chicago Bears Well Chicago, you had quite the offseason. Adding proven wideouts Taylor Gabriel and Allen Robinson could have been enough to hang your hat on. Da Bears followed this up with resigning Prince Amukamara and Kyle Fuller to solidify a defense that…

Atlanta Falcons A 10-6 record was good enough for the Atlanta Falcons to take third in the loaded NFC South in 2017, reaching the NFC Playoffs once again. Once there, they defeated the upstart Rams in the Wild Card round before being…

Houston Texans The 2017 season seemed destined for success in the early weeks of the campaign. Deshaun Watson was proving all of his doubters wrong and JJ Watt was playing like JJ Watt, until it all hit the fan. Watt went down in Week 5 and Watson just…

Denver Broncos The Denver Broncos have not been in the postseason since winning the Super Bowl in 2015. They haven’t had a quarterback worth building a franchise around since then either. GM John Elway may have struck gold for the second time, adding 2017 sensation Case Keenum. The Broncos…
