What a championship organization looks like

Rich Eisen loves how we do things, and he'd know how it's done as a Jets fan!

Why change?

 

Seems like there is accountability with Vrabel. Tomlin seems to not know what the word means. I guess that's what his boss models for him. Zero accountability.

And, the ownership of the Titans has proven themselves to be one of the worst in the league in terms of crappy decisions, meddling, and tying the HC's hands. Best thing to happen to Vrabel was getting the hell out of Nashville.

 

it helps that NE didn’t draft a picket class loser, and then sign old people for QBs year after year - again, a sign of better run org.

 

Anybody other than Dan Rooney and Chuck Noll running the organization and would be inferior. It was a once in a lifetime historical experience of one of the greatest sports teams of all time if you got to see it.

 

They are certainly a good organization. But this is mostly about getting lucky at drafting.

Especially the insane luck of landing Brady in the 6th.

And pretty luck drafting Maye in @ 10 (like we got very lucky drafting Ben @ 11).

AFC playoffs should be pretty interesting. I don't think it will happen this way, but it's not inconceivable that all of Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson are on the road for WC weekend.

Going to be a good year to bet the road teams IMO.

 

The fear of a losing season will do that to a team.
But, there are teams that have had success with an old QB. Only way it happens is with a strong team around them. That's not the Steelers.

 

I don't think Vrabel is too worry with a random regular season game in september when his team had a 5 turnovers game and lose by only 7 points

Like John Harbaugh did not care about when the steelers were winning like 8 of the last 9 games against the ravens since in the biggest 2 games in this decade,the ravens beat us easily last season

The Pats have won 8 in a row since that game too

 

The Pats benefitted from a cupcake schedule they aren't that good.

 

They also beat Buffalo and Tampa Bay on the road....The BIlls have only 1 L at home since 2024 and it was against the pats this season

 

I feel like using "luck" as the reason for anyone's success over a 15 year period is kind of loser talk and envy. If it was mostly luck, they would have massively messed other things up over such a long time.

The flip side is that we got "unlucky" with Pickett, Trubisky, Rudolph, Fields, Wilson and Rodgers....

 

They are going to be the #1 seed, the road to the Superbowl goes through New England once more.

 

Why are you so hung up on going 9-8 when no one else is

 

I wonder.... although the TB win was impressive.

 

They played an NFL team each game

 

Art Rooney is apparently. Otherwise he would have canned Tomlin years ago.

 

Art doesn’t talk about it but you repeat it like a parrot

So

Why are you so hung up on going 9-8 when no one else is

 

Just making sure you are aware of what’s going on pops. Trying my best to keep you up to speed in the twilight years.

 

Chance is a huge part of drafting NFL players. Especially QBs, which no one seems to be able to scout.

The Brady pick is clearly luck. Every team passed on him at least 5 times. No one had any idea that he'd go on to be a starter in the NFL. Never mind the GOAT.

We were very lucky with Ben. Players as good as him rarely fall to 11. And there's no way he should have gotten past CLE. But they went with a TE instead.

 

You didn’t answer the question
