    Surprisingly competent from Kraft and the Pats. They could have stuck to Mayo for another season, but pulled the trigger and now are in a much better position. Now they should have just hired Vrabel last year, but at least they've recognised their error.

      i still maintain firing a first time HC after 1 year is an average call. But, if they know Vrabel is better, then it's actually really good business (fixing a mistake 12 months ago as you say).

      Takes guts for these guys to publicly admit they got it wrong

        Yeah I think I agree with you. You've got to give these guys time to grow, build continuity etc etc. But if there's a clear better option there in the short and long term then you have to pull the trigger.

          I am very much in favour of firing a guy after one year if it's not working.

          It's a sunk cost.

          You are only hurting yourself further the more you delay

          A lot of the feedback on Mayo was that he had completely lost the locker room and just was not suited to the head coach role.

            Washington win with a last second field goal that goes in off the upright.

            good game

            How nervy was Gonzalez before that kick! More nervous ticks than Steve Smith

                The record isn't necessarily important in the first year. IIRC Troy Aikman had a bad first season under Jimmy Johnson and it turned out fine. But if the players aren't behind him that is a deal breaker

                    defence has also been shithouse so far though too

                      Vikings O-line should be apologising to everyone though, they are getting smoked and the Rams aren't even sending big numbers.

                              Hah. If they get him early he could sell the house to get his kid at quarterback. Would be epic destruction

                                And it's back to the bench holding a clipboard for Sam Darnold.

                                Rams defense dominant, a playoff record 9 sacks.

                                  totally one sided game over by half time, Darnold smashed in the big games he was under pressure in

                                    Vikings specialise in QBs that put up useful regular season stats but fold in the playoffs

                                    Kirk Cousins
                                    Teddy Bridgewater
                                    Case Keenum
                                    Sam Darnold

                                    Can young JJ McCarthy change the narrative

                                        Texans at Chiefs at the moment.

                                        Refs have a massive boner for Mahomes. Two major flags thrown for hits on him - neither worth a flag in my opinion. I'm a huge Mahomes fan, but damn. This shit is frustrating to watch.

                                          The fucking Chiefs just will not die!!!

                                          We all had to live through the fucking Patriots, and then straight in to the Chiefs era?

                                          It's not supposed to be like this!
