A View from Enemy Lines

Agreed

 

If I were some people, I'd slow my role on Mike Vrabel. Do people realize they have only beaten one team that has over a 500 record, and that team beat them also the 2nd time.
It's easy to change a team around, it's way harder to keep that team good. Don't believe me.....look at all the HCs that have won Coach of the year, and have been fired within the next 3-5 years.
I can't even count the number of HCs that have been written about on here as being awesome that aren't even HCs anymore.
Can anyone say Washington who is 4-10 this year, or....the Vikings who are 6-8, that's just small examples from this year. Both teams people talked about last year about their ability to turn things around.

 

Wish I had a copy of the NFL rulebook the year James caught that pass. I swear they made up the ruling on the fly.

 

All too true.

Next year will be the referendum on Vrabel. At least a bit. Likely a first place finish schedule rather than last place team's schedule. Teams will see Maye coming and have had an entire off-season to break down his game.

 

Exactly, and I'm not saying they can't do it, I'm saying let's wait , and see.

 

I do think that if Tennessee had it to do over, they would've stuck with Vrabel over the GM that he lost the power-struggle to.

Although, I did not pay much attention to it. Wonder if Vrabel was not on-board for drafting the QB and wanted to go the veteran route?

 

Yeah we'll never know.

 

Did the Bills expose the Patriots defense?

 

AJ Brown says hi

 

There is a lot wrong with the Titans.


Amy has been at the forefront of it all.

Trading A.J. Brown wasn't Mike's call. That was her.

 

True....


... except for the fact that, under Vrabels leadership, the Titans were a force in their own division from 2019 to 2021; a four year run. That is including the meddling and overturning he had to deal with as well. Saying that Vrabel isn't it because of his current success in New England is unfair to him and short sighted given his success in Tennessee.


Major reason why 2022 to 2023 were his worst Coaching Records was due to the egregious errors made by Amy. From trading away A.J. Brown to firing Ran Carthon mid-season, the mess that is currently in Tennessee falls heavily on her. Vrabel didn't do himself favors at the time either (namely his aggressiveness on defense despite not having the players needed) but he was largely playing with a talent deficient roster; a roster that could have been better had Amy stayed out of the way.


Long story short?! Ownership matters. Kraft is infinitely better than Amy in just about every regard.

 

Common sense isn’t a part of anything anymore.
James took 2 steps and reached out for the “ Football move”
Like I said, I can no longer distinguish what is and what isn’t a catch.
No longer 2 steps
Now 3 steps
Plus football move
Wonder how it is for the kids playing pickup?

 

Does that pertain to massages?
Asking for a masseuse

 

Fair enough.


That said, conduct and results are two different things. Not condoning what Robert Kraft has done as a person. I am stating though that, as far as pure Football Operations go, Kraft runs a far better machine than Amy could ever hope to.
