10 super bowl appearance and 7 wins but we've NEVER seen him celebrate like this.
END RESULT
Shout out to BA...the scary part is that the defense has the potential to actually get better..
They will win the NFC south..Atl got a new coach, Panthers should be better, but they are not challenging the Bucs and Drew is retiring...will be very interesting to see what happens in the NFC. On paper right now, I'm thinking it will be the Bucs back in the SB again with the Rams possibly challenging them...if the niners get watson, then all bets are off..
so NOW we KNOW the REAL REASON Brady went EXTRA to apologize PUBLICLY
and CALL HIM PERSONALLY to APOLOGIZE AGAIN
that was either racial
OF I hope this aint the case?
Brady said something about Tyrann past drug issues.
Fritz Pollard Alliance's Rod Graves: Jacksonville Jaguars' hiring of Chris Doyle 'simply unacceptable'
5:19 PM ET
Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director Rod Graves released a statement on Friday that called Doyle's hiring unacceptable and Meyer's defense of the hire an example of the problems minority coaches face in the NFL.
"At a time when the NFL has failed to solve its problem with racial hiring practices, it is simply unacceptable to welcome Chris Doyle into the ranks of NFL coaches," Graves' statement read. "Doyle's departure from the University of Iowa reflected a tenure riddled with poor judgment and mistreatment of Black players. His conduct should be as disqualifying for the NFL as it was for University of Iowa.
The Fritz Pollard Alliance is an organization devoted to championing diversity in the NFL. It comprises scouts, coaches and front office personnel in the NFL as well as other sports professionals.
Doyle's hiring drew immediate backlash on Thursday, when the team announced the move as part of Meyer's complete coaching staff. Doyle had been Iowa's director of strength and conditioning from 1999 until last summer, when he and the school reached a separation agreement after numerous former Iowa players spoke out about mistreatment within the Iowa program.
A number of the allegations came from Black players and concerned the way Doyle treated them and his use of racist language. Meyer said he researched Doyle, had some intense conversations with him and is confident that there will not be problems in the future.
"I vet everyone on our staff and like I said, the relationship goes back close to 20 years and a lot of hard questions asked, a lot of vetting involved with all our staff," Meyer said. "We did a very good job vetting that one.
"... I met with our staff and I'm going to be very transparent with all the players like I am with everything. I'll listen closely and learn, and also there's going to have to be some trust in their head coach that we're going to give them the very best of the best, and time will tell. ... The allegations that took place, I will say [to the players] I vetted him. I know the person for close to 20 years and I can assure them there will be nothing of any sort in the Jaguar facility."
Some of the issues raised by the numerous former Iowa players who spoke out on social media last year were: Black and white players were held to different standards; Black players were mistreated; Doyle and other assistants made racist remarks; and Black players felt they had to conform to specific ways of dress and behavior. Their complaints sparked the university to hire a Kansas City law firm to conduct an external investigation into the football program.
The issues were not strictly related to race.
Former Iowa offensive lineman Jack Kallenberger said last June on Twitter that he retired from football in January 2019 after he became despondent because of what he described as bullying related to a learning disability. Doyle was among the coaches he named who harassed him.
The university placed Doyle on administrative leave on June 6 in the wake of those allegations. One day later, Doyle defended himself in a statement posted to Twitter that read, in part: "At no time have I ever crossed the line of unethical behavior or bias based upon race. I do not make racist comments and I don't tolerate people who do."
On June 14, it was announced that Doyle was out at Iowa. Doyle, who was the nation's highest-paid strength coach at $800,000 annually, received 15 months' salary (roughly $1.1 million), and he and his family were awarded benefits from Iowa for 15 months, or until he found employment elsewhere, which he did this month with the Jaguars.

Urban had a killer on the team that he knew was a shooter before he got to Gainesville.
Winfield was one of my favorite players when he was with my BILLS back in the day. Must be an awesome experience to celebrate with his son.
i figured something like that all along, that brady said something really bad, getting under Tyrann's skin.
This is interesting. I'm gonna have to get used to not having ALL common opponents w/in the division.
The Packers will see WFT and NO
The Vikings will face CAR and DAL
The Bears will have the Bucs and the Giants
The Lions will get Atlanta and Philly
The remaining teams will be common opponents but this is going to change how two teams with the same record are ranked in their division.
and the Buccaneers plays the New England Patriots

Deputies said Jackson, 38, who was a South Tampa resident, checked in to a hotel room in Brandon on Jan. 11 and had been staying in a room since then.
Jackson’s family reported him missing on Feb. 10. Two days later, deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office located Jackson at the Homewood Suites oat 10240 Palm River Road and spoke with him.
After assessing Jackson’s well-being, the missing persons case was canceled.
Jackson was then located deceased around 11:30 a.m. Monday in his hotel room by a housekeeper.
There were no signs of trauma, deputies said. The medical examiner’s office has yet to assess the cause of death.
Sheriff Chad Chronister released the following statement:
Jackson who went to college at Northern Colorado, was selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. He was signed by Tampa Bay in 2012 where he played until retiring in 2016.
Jackson was a three time Pro Bowl wide receiver, twice with the Chargers (2009, 2011) and once with the Bucs (2012).
