The Birds Blitz Super Bowl LVI Staff Picks

The Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs several weeks ago at this point, and the offseason will officially begin after tonight's Super Bowl.

Conference Championships: NFL locks, safe bets, and games to avoid (2021-22)

In 2021, there were seven rookie head coaches in the NFL. One of them didn't even make it through the season (Urban Meyer went 2-11 with a few off-field incidents in Jacksonville). Another was fired shortly after the season ended (David Culley in Houston, though he never had much of a chance given the Texans'…
