Would expect whoever it is that goes out there they’ll coach to try and win and that would just bring Mayo’s incompetence into place. Am sure they can pass it off as a sickness bug or something.

I think some of it will be on what happens with likely free agents. Sam Darnold and Kirk Cousins likely being the two main ones. With the former I wouldn’t write off him returning to the Vikes as who knows what’s happening with JJ McCarthy. The one thing I really don’t want us to do is spend #1 on Travis Hunter. Not least the whole 2 way player thing will not work in the NFL and I think he projects far better as a corner than receiver.

Who is this Joe Milton character?! He's looking quite good.

Someone who completely misread the script

Drafted him 6th round out of Tennessee in the most recent draft. Nickname is Bazooka Joe as he’s the kind of QB who if you need 80 yards he’ll throw it for 80 or if you need 5 he’ll throw it for 80. Ah well season over, Pats blew the #1 pick and I come last in fantasy. Cool!

Bet Jimmy G has a had great year as backup QB in LA tbf. Just would have had constant top tier minge on tap when he's not been holding a clipboard.

And the Pats kick off Black Monday early.

Not even waited for Black Monday. Mayo is doneski. Looks like Vrabel is coming home.

 

[Stagat]

Vrabel has indeed come home. Should be a very good hire for you guys, unfortunately.

Got the win honestly thought Ravens are generally a bad match up for us excited for the Chiefs who I think we generally match up better given how we play.

Well the NFC Championship game doesn’t look like being competitive for long. Been an incredible run by Washington to get here, unheard of with a rookie QB but looks a game too far.

I know it’s not normally the done thing to cheer for divisional rivals but I’m very much team Buffalo later. Think for all the Mahomes v Allen talk this is going to be one that’s won or lost at the line of scrimmage. Hopefully it’s Buffalo.

 

[kieran_vale]

Never have I rooted so much for an asteroid strike as I have with these two teams involved. For what it’s worth I have to think Philly are the more rounded team so should win but I say that with very little confidence.

Chiefs getting blown out in the 1st half still I would still prefer both teams to lose

 

[kieran_vale]

I’m keeping my powder dry on it as just know they’re going to do a Pats-Falcons job second half. Truth be told first half it looked like barring some major adjustments a team that had been living off the small margins all season had it catch up to them a bit. Philly dominated the LOS both sides of the ball so far.

 

[kieran_vale]

That was a complete and utter skull-fucking. Lesson to any other team in the NFL you need to build both lines to be successful as that’s where the game was won in the end.
