You're right, he did what he could to get fired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 You know it's the final preseason game when the topic has already switched to Vrabel and how he left years ago.... At least Ward didn't look bad in this one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 2 hours ago, scine09 said: Remember the weekend that Vrabel went there was after Levis had two good games (statistically Pittsburgh wasn't good but by all accounts he played well). I really don't think it was a Levis thing as much as it was he just wanted to be in NE. Wrong. The bye week (10/22) where he went to NE was BEFORE Levis had ever taken a snap (10/29). At this point, he already knew Carthon was a moron, unhappy he didn't have full control, and Tannehill was already hurt and remember his plan going into ATL was to rotate Willis and Levis. People always forget that in camp in preseason, Willis actually outperformed Willis. That's also the camp Easton Freeze recently referenced as the last time until this year where there was a massive gap between QB 1 and the backups..... BTW Levis played horrible in the Steeler game - the red zone sequence where he missed wide open receivers 3 plays in a row; the end of game debacles with 2 drops of horrid picks. Levis even played worse in following weeks aside from that fluky end to the Miami game. A game where the comeback was only necessary because Levis had that pick siz and fumble deep in territory...

Jamalisms Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Vrabel wanted out because the team sucked and they wouldn't give him control to fix it. He can have been correct that Carthon wasn't ready and also been an asshole and someone they shouldn't give control to. And that can be true even though NE suddenly improved the moment they have him control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the first place schedule as opposed to the 3rd easiest schedule statistically since the merger will be an interesting barometer for NE this year. Only the 99 Rams and 79 Bucs had easier schedules w/l wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I get down with washing away the success and turn around last year simply because that's what jealous, scorned Titans fans do of the schedule but it made things much easier and it's hard to imagine they're as good this year. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta give Bud some props here. Guy disappears for well over a year, then returns and is out gunning scine regarding facts and timeframes. Guy spent that year honing his craft....

We'll see. It was way more than jealous Titan fans making jokes about the Pats road to the SB. Not only was the schedule easy but Stroud has the biggest meltdown in history, Nico Collins getting hurt, Nix gets hurt and can't play in the title game. It started to get totally comical and the whole internet was meming it up BudsOilers, Starkiller, and rns90 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually - just busy with life/work and the fact the team was so horrible - wasting time with the tard babble wasn't worth it. Watching the Callahan's melt down was fun. Never should have been the hire - weak resume Heading to Italy in a week for 13 days so I'll be out of pocket for week 1.

titanruss Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 (edited) Vrabel wanted to go to NE regardless if we were good or bad. It was his dream job. Sucking and needing a rebuild made it easier and provided the timing for Kraft to do his tampering. Edited August 30 by titanruss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
