Mike Vrabel: NFL Coach of the Year

[titanruss]

Apparently Reddit auto subscribed new redditors to the Pats subreddit for like a decade. They were adding new redditors to the Super Bowl teams subs as a promo and they just "forgot" to stop 

 

Makes sense when you interact with them on that site. There's so many and so few know anything about football.

Weak—try having what Ward had to put up with in his rookie season and see what you think then you wimp.

Where is that boisterous bravado that was going on when they were winning? Warriors?

 

 

 

This is actually what I thought about as soon as the AFC title game was over. The Pats would get blown out in the SB whether it was Seattle or the Rams. 

 

Then there was no way NE would have the same easy schedule or luck. They drop way down in terms of where they rank in the AFC. Vrabel knows all this. 

 

The Pats are 100% stepping way back next year, even if they are a better team.

I actually disagree.  When it comes to football, Boston fans are about as dumb as you can get. These people only care about football when the team is good. That's why so many of their idiotic fans thought they could be Seattle when everyone else was telling them to look at the fucking schedule.

 

That's a correction of another post.

He's not getting bashed just by posters on this board. He's getting trashed nationally because of his mismanagement of the game and terrible game plan. I heard someone say this is like the 4th postseason(elimination Jags game) game he's been severely outcoached and made terrible in game decisions.  

 

Vrabel is condescending and super arrogant, which comes off funny at times. But when you act like that and have no results that act wears thin. 

 

I think that easy schedule and fluky postseason run could be a curse for Vrabel. The Boston media/fans aren't like the chump Nashville media, they'll rip his ass to shreds quickly. 

I get that you think that. but to counter point. He was undermanned. He had the light schedule, but he got his team there. He's arrogant, and his act wore thin in Tennessee.

 

However . he did get his team to The Super Bowl. We can all see what happens in the coming years. 

 

Lets just see where this goes.

Im guessing he end up as a DL coach by 2030.

Just like the Bengals-Titans game, opposing defense calling out plays

 

 

[OILERMAN]

Maybe one of the best coaching performances in SB history?

I always laugh when I see these videos. Every player can do this based on formations and tendencies 

 

Average fans minds are blown, that’s why people thought Romo was a good commentator for a while

I thought the advice to keep their heads up and be ready was masterful. He's just able to see the game at a different level.

The defense came out after the game and said they had very specific tells on the OL and what the Pats were doing. This video doesn't show much, but the Seahawks knew what was coming the entire game and this is further evidence of that being the case. 

[scine09]

It's the equivalent of tipping pitches.  It happens and can certainly impact the game but one of the objects of the offense is to make the defense guess.  Once the defense knows exactly what's coming it's going to be very dificult for the offense to do anything at all.  Particularly when you have the talent that Seattle has.  I'm sure if it was the Titans defense late in the year and they knew what was coming it woud be a different story because they didn't have the personnel to stop anyone even if they knew the play.

Can you imagine what Vrabel was like in high school?

 

I tend to imagine he was insufferable.

Undoubtedly.
