Game 1 NFL Playoffs: Raiders @ Bengals

I would think short of winning the Super Bowl, LV would still take Harbaugh over this guy. Raiders ending their season probably just expedites Jim's decision

Amen brother! Go deep in the playoffs. Delay their opportunity to talk to Jim, and lower their desire to replace the HC.

You are really grasping here, I think Urban knew what he was doing at OSU.

This is my counter-argument when people respond to suggestions that we switch quarterbacks by insisting that we have to defer to the coaches in their decisions. And Harbaugh's no different -- he started Milton over McNamara, for instance, and only brought in McNamara when Milton finally broke down.

I'm not meaning to jump on Harbaugh, of course. But the Moneyball phenomenon of looking at actual data rather than gut feelings and coaching instincts hasn't really sunk through to major college sports yet, as much as we may believe otherwise.

There are of course many counter-examples, and of course often (usually?) coaches are absolutely correct. Still, almost all college coaches seem to rely too heavily, in my opinion, on what they see in practice, and on their evaluation of the famous "athletic ability," instead of actually giving quarterbacks a chance to show their skills in live games.

I, for one, thought Dylan McAffrey did really well in his limited time on the field, and I wish we had had the opportunity to see him try and lead the team last year.

Not the whole story. Burrow broke his throwing hand preseason when he was battling Haskins for the starting QB job and required surgery which pushed him behind Haskins. Once Burrow saw he wasn't going to catch Haskins, he transferred. And besides, Haskins went on to break a ton of B1G records in his one year as a starter

Double XX 

i'm actually just rooting for the raiders, not dependent on the harbaugh deal.  don't know why, got nothing against cincy, i'm just pulling for vegas.  

Yes, yes we are.

Penalties, confusion by the offense, not a good look.....
