Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

Why did Pat Bowlen fire the Rat?

He says he did it to reach a higher level. I don't buy it

although the team had a general manager, the Rat had full control personel, gameplans, draft and free agent acusitions.

No, I think Bowlin knew the teams talent level had dropped to a point that it is time to rebuild. But mostly, HE DIDN"T WANT THE RAT TO GET KICKED AROUND BY THE RAIDERS FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS OR LONGER!

He fired the Rat to save his (Shanahan's) legacy.

 I personally think we KICKED HIM out the door.

But I will still love beating the crap out of the Donkey's (especally in Denver)!

Bolts and Chiefs too..

Reading the transcript of the press conference

it was time for change and things were getting complacent or stagnant.

That’s why I think Andy Reid may be leaving Philly soon.

Yeah, pull the other one it;s got bells on it!

My guess is the Rat will join someones brodcasting booth while the Donkey dwell in the cellar. Probably adising the team on drafting and development.

He’ll be back….and we’ll be waiting!
