Gonna go ahead and say McDaniels will probably end up as the Titans coach with them firing Mularkey. Hopefully more candidates enter the race for the Colts. Don't know how sold I am on Vrabel, but I trust Ballard's decision in the end.

Eh, I'll start getting concerned if the Colts line up another interview or two with a new candidate. Most reports are McD is coming to Indy even with Mularkey being gone.

Just saw La Canfora report that. Next few weeks shall be interesting. I'm a fan of McDaniels due to his offense getting the ball out of Luck's/Brissett's hands more quickly.

Lots of reports saying that McDaniels is going to Indy flying around.

So McDaniels to Indy, Shurmur to NY, and Tennessee with....Vrabel? Lol! They're still stuck with the Colts leftovers, some things never change.

Good idea to fire the guy to win you a playoff game for the first time in 14 years because you don't like his assistants. Always better to get a yes man running the show

[akinnaird24 517]

If McDaniels is indeed the guy, it looks like he will bring along Matt Eberflus (Dallas LB coach/Passing coordinator) as DC and Jake Peetz (Oakland QB coach) as OC. Hoping Eberflus plays a part in possibly luring Hitchens or Lawrence to Indy.

I'm not a fan of Mularkey, but with the late timing on this they could have screwed themselves. I don't think Vrabel is ready yet. Plus it sounds like their reasoning was because he wouldn't fire one of his assistants.

Good thing NFL officiating isnt corrupt or we would see BS calls favor one team all the time. That might lead to viewer burnout and decreased ratings

One of those refs sure seemed pretty happy when New England scored earlier. Couldn't stop smiling as he was handed the ball.

Probably the guy who called the two PI calls that were BS

It just never ends with these guys. Another Super Bowl I won't be watching.

I didn't think he had emotions. 

 

[Brass Cannon 24,222]

You cant tell me there are corrupt officials. As litlle as they make and as much money is at stake

[Brass Cannon 24,222]

Its whatever the NFL is rotting from the inside out. Its gonna go the way of wrestling if they dont return some semblance of fair conpetition to the equation. 

[Hoosier1984 1,554]

I think New England has one penalty all game. Reason I have stopped watching the NFL for the most part

Honestly, is anyone surprised? Is the "story" even decent if the Jaguars win that game?

The end of the first half...
- why allow the Jags offensive possession to occur if it was a delay of game? I haven't seen a play completed and then that penalty called. A delay of game is called immediately.

- PI when the receiver couldn't beat the DB. Both were hand fighting. Ref extremely happy the Pats scored

The NFL loves its ratings and money. Anytime a Brady story can be ramped up to add viewership it will happen. There has been so much stuff swept under the rug to "protect the shield."

Whatever they are doing aint helping ratings though

I think seeing the Pats crash and burn miserably would momentarily boost viewership.
