Would it be a mistake to fire Todd Haley?

He didn't pull Palko. They put Orton in and proceeded to run a FLEA FLICKER. They didn't put him in there in a position to potentially succeed because then they might actually have to play him.

This is ALL about Palko. Haley desperately wants Palko to succeed. Haley sees a bit of himself in Palko.

You need to re-read my post. I never said the guys weren't trying behind Palko - they absolutely are.

And if they'll play for a guy that needs a HAIL MARY to actually score a passing TD, they'll damn sure play for Stanzi. Your excuse that starting Stanzi signals the end of the season is bogus, plain and simple.

Thomas Jones called and says you need to talk to Casey Weigmann.
