He's the one who signed off on Rudolph, Trubisky, Pickett, and Wilson. Maybe give him a year off and let Hue Jackson coach for a year so they can get the number one pick and get a real quarterback.
Herbert's an enigma of a quarterback. He always passes the eye test but there's something always "off" about him in important games. He just can never seem to put a consistent four quarters together.
The Steelers late season meltdown this year won Lamar Jackson the MVP and gave the Chiefs an easy out in the Divisional round. Thanks Tomlin. Hope they fire you and the Patriots hire you so they can be one and done in the Wild Card for the next ten years.
They should've moved on from them and Tua last year. How much evidence did they need that their track team offense didn't work against good to great teams?
I agree. I wouldn't even consider them chokers but just not built to beat good to great teams. They're screwed for a couple years until they can get out of the Tua contract. I just think they would've squeaked in this year and been one and done.
They are but you have to go back to the 80's where a 2nd team All Pro QB won MVP. Crazier things have happened at awards shows though. I remember Shakespeare in Love beating out Saving Private Ryan for best picture at the Oscars.
I remember that game being a field goal/ punt fest until Pollard broke out a long run. It may have been a Miami blow out with Tua. I remember watching it just in disbelief at how McDaniel didn't have a competent backup QB to run his offense. Penalties galore on offense. Miami only put up 184 yards compared to the Titans 222. The Titans running up the score at the end because the Dolphins defense was gassed from all the three and outs Huntley had with his 96 passing yards.
I think they get to 10. I think they beat the Colts and Titans with a healthy Tua. That's pry their ceiling though. They'd be one and done against us this weekend.
Kansas City. They took the Bills out three of the last four years. They're the two time defending champs. They're the healthiest they've been all season. They'll be at home with the motivation of the Bills being the team that ruined their perfect season. I know Lamar bowled a 350 yesterday but he's handled that playoff pressure poorly in the past going back to his first MVP season.
That's what put him over the top or was it consistently excellent stats over his career? BTW, minus a career ending injury Allen will accomplish one of your criteria at minimum. Law of averages.
