You have to root for the Bills. The Ravens are the ultimate scumbag org led by the ultimate scumbag coach. Don’t forget about everything from years ago. Plus who do you trust to not shit all over themselves in Arrowhead, Allen or Lamar?

Root for the bills to beat the chiefs and then do what they do best, lose Super Bowls

I don't any of them to beat Mahomes at home.

The Chiefs will be going to the Superbowl. It's up to the NFC to step up and beat them.

I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting, but he and Belichick hated each other. Deflategate was largely his fault, as he was so butthurt over blowing the two-score lead in the divisional round game to the Pats that he called Chuck Pavano to get him all hyped up about the balls at Foxboro or something before the AFCCG. And he threw a total tantrum over the Pats' quick sub/eligible lineman package on offense and ended up getting the rule changed.

Baltimore also tends to employ a lot of abusers and criminals, which I suppose you can say he turns a blind eye toward.

Fair. Of course he has to change his business model for the team. My question is why hasn’t he already? Okay I get you had success during the Brady years, “if it isn’t broken don’t fix it”. I’ll give him that. But Brady left the Patriots 5 years ago. The pats have stunk for 5 seasons now. One only has to look around at the best teams in the league and spot the differences. Cash spending on the team, facilities, sports medicine etc etc. IIRC it was reported the Eagles staff is more than double the Patriots. Almost 20 years of great football here in New England, not once did he think to reward the team and upgrade facilities??? That’s just odd. I can’t wrap my head around that.

I discussed this earlier when talking about what I thought the Patriots needed to do to become relevant again. Increase the infrastructure, more coaches, more analytics, more scouts.

Agree with Gator Mike. Bill was in charge for 20+ years, and I think Kraft had little to no say in football operations. I don’t blame Belichick for that. He had his system and it bore great results for many years, but it think it put the Patriots behind the 8 ball (organizationally). He had his guys and the people he trusted, but when he was let go, the Pats were not in a good position to compete.

I’m not sure what Kraft thought was going to happen when he just tried to plug Mayo in, but it failed. I think it’s a step in the right direction to go with Vrabel, who has relationships all over the league. I also think it’s a good idea to keep Wolf on in some capacity. He’s well respected around the league, been involved in several organizations and seen multiple “systems” in operation.

I do blame Kraft, or whomever is in charge of the facilities, for not “keeping up with the Joneses” and making sure the weight room, daycare and other amenities weren’t up to speed.

Guessing that the Pats “staff building” will move forward after the Rams and Lions were eliminated.

I would be surprised if they don’t interview Detroit’s DL/Run Game Coach Terrell Williams, who was close with Vrabel in Tennessee.

It was reported that John Streicher, who was Vrabel’s “Ernie Adams” with the Titans is leaving to join him in New England. I could also see them interviewing Nick Caley, Mike LaFleur, and Dave Ragone, all of whom have connections to Vrabel or the Patriots.
