Like Vrabel going to go with two former head coaches as coordinators

McDaniels track record and familiarity make this decision the biggest no brainer on erfff

Just feels like the same old same old they hasitily rushed the interviews just to bring in someone familiar.

Id love someone outside the organization with fresh ideas and takes

I mean, Vrabel was traded in 2009 and hasn’t been part of the organization in any capacity since. He coached in college and with the Texans before his head coaching job. He has literally nothing to do with Belichick’s coaching tree. He is from outside the organization

As far as the fans go. I find most New England fans (particularly the younger ones) to be very entitled and reactionary. I could care less if the fans like Wolf as long as he brings something to the table behind the scenes.

Maybe but I think most can handle a necessary, proper rebuild. What people rightfully can't accept is the complete dysfunctional incompetence we have seen since Tom Brady bolted.

That should be Packers ball

Replay is so f***ing stupid they just ignore blatant evidence and do what they want.

Been a problem for years. It's embarrassing

I agree, Packers got screwed.

It's so obviously wrong so often it makes me think things I don't want to believe.

There are 3 certainties in life: Death, Taxes and Shitty GB Special Teams.

And I’m pretty sure I addressed the “complete dysfunctional incompetence” part in my post above what you quoted.

Bill Belichick is the GOAT coach imo, but the amount of control he exerted over the franchise for 20+ years is no longer sustainable in the modern NFL.

I think the lack of infrastructure and support (due to BB wanting control) hurt the Patriots in the scouting, drafting, coaching and pro personnel areas. Brady masked some of that stuff, but when he left it became more apparent.

Right now the Pats are a mess. I think Vrabel is a good start to begin building the culture, but they have a lot of work to do.

I’m right there with you.

I'm just not a Jordan Love guy

I'm just not a Jordan Love guy

Am I nuts or are Justin Herbert and Jordan Love sort of the same QB?*


*Insult to both

 

[BradPark22]

Isn't Love the highest paid QB or close to it? Not sure what he has ever done to deserve that contract.

 

[RoccoF14]

I think this Wash-TB game is gonna be a fun one. Wild Card Round games have been meh, so far...

 

[Johnnyduke]

Sometimes it's ok to just kick the FG and take the points

Truly comical how much better Jalen McMillan is than Polk
