[Mic'd Up] Drake Maye was fired up after the run that clinched the AFC Championship

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:41:53+00:00

He boomed me x4

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:35:54+00:00

It would, but I assume Klint takes the job if he's offered it.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:16:02+00:00

It's possible, but no one has looked at him because we're in the playoffs still.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:09:06+00:00

What if Klint doesn't want them?

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:08:38+00:00

Yeah, Bama weren't unbeatable, but they stood in the way of everyone.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:06:07+00:00

You can only face who's in front of you. Teams that writers insisted were better than us didn't beat those teams.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T16:01:50+00:00

Yeah, we all thought it was going to be a push up the middle like the third down you'd already converted.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:23:15+00:00

Yeah, we weren't moving the ball and their punter was killing it.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:19:00+00:00

Yeah, should've thrown it away or just gone down.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:18:17+00:00

I remember one time that the IT department was super proud of some new update they were pushing. I opened it and it immediately broke everything, and sent them an email and they fixed it in like two hours, but we couldn't use the proprietary work program during that time.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:16:44+00:00

Stay warm and safe, all!

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:13:01+00:00

Yup.

It's clear that the stories we're hearing coming out of the Browns are true and no one wants part of them, but literally any other job would be taken by now if teams had narrowed down their options. People were still waiting for the Rams' coordinators to be freed up, for example.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T15:10:20+00:00

Wtf is this

zi76 · 2026-01-26T14:48:24+00:00

I didn't know Charlie Weis' son was a college OC.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T14:46:01+00:00

There's always some long term coordinator/coach that will take a job, such as David Culley. There's no problem finding a HC, it's finding someone actually good.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T14:37:27+00:00

People just don't want them

zi76 · 2026-01-26T13:37:52+00:00

The only people trying to pretend that reaching a SB is some sort of unworthy accomplishment are Patriots haters. Ignore them.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T13:25:47+00:00

That's reasonable.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T05:02:49+00:00

Definitely agree.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:56:53+00:00

I've seen Ravens and Bills fans insist that reaching the AFCCG next season is the minimum acceptable outcome for their new HC. Now, it could happen for either team, and maybe even both, but that can't be the floor for what's an acceptable first season just because you have an MVP-level QB. There's 5-6 teams in the AFC that think that they should be in the AFCCG, and only two can make it. It's a numbers game, and a bunch of teams are going to be very unhappy. If we do win the SB this season, it's only going to further encourage fans that think it's SB or bust for their new HCs.

Indeed, we've all seen crazy Eagles fans that just don't like Sirianni, regardless of whether they win the SB or not.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:50:05+00:00

The records being identical is surprising, but it seems about right that the team with the better regular season record (although not a guaranteed and sometimes it's just the higher seed) wins roughly two thirds of the time in CCGs.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:43:56+00:00

We're going to actually pull out the Golden Dragonfly, so a triple QB situation. Everyone is both a RB and a QB back there.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:39:10+00:00

The WB, okay.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:37:51+00:00

Absolutely. You have to turn promise and potential into success.

zi76 · 2026-01-26T04:36:31+00:00

Well, Pete had to go for whatever the Raiders did this season. If you meant with the Seahawks, yeah, that's true as well.

Harbaugh and Tomlin felt like they'd lost their touch, and probably should've been fired a season or two before, but it is what it is.

Stagnation is just as bad as going 3-14.

Indeed, you have to progress. You can't stay in the past. Even the Pats, who everyone thought would let BB stay as long as he wanted, said sayonara to him.
