1. Jeff Fisher getting a contract extension
Jeff Fisher hasn’t gotten close to the playoffs since he took over the Rams. And despite the awful trade that the Redskins made with him to get RG3, the Redskins have made the playoffs twice during Fisher’s tenure in St Louis/Los Angeles.

Fisher has been taking opportunities to remind the Redskins of the trade at every turn..

And yet, Fisher, who has been extremely disappointing and gave up the crown jewels for a quarterback who can’t beat out Case Keenum right now, is getting a 3 year extension. All this despite not having a season with a winning record yet in his current job.

The easy retort from Fisher and his supporters is that they just beat the Seahawks and that shows ‘progress’ or something.

But fully 1/7 of Fisher’s wins with the Rams have come at the expense of the Seahawks. Whatever it is that Fisher does vs them he really should think about doing in the rest of his games.
