Mike Vrabel is a fraud who relied on Prime Derrick Henry

Mike Vrabel is proof that one smart clock management moment in a nationally televised game buys you five to 10 years of NFL media thinking you're a great coach... Prime Derrick Henry is not walking through the Patriots door... He was a Derrick Henry merchant.

Hot Take Football Hot

Vrabel was hired by the Patriots, went 14-3 in his first season, won AP Coach of the Year, and reached Super Bowl LX. Definitely not a fraud.

The Houston Texans' defense won them the Wild Card game against the Chargers

That Texans defense, holy shit, did they bring it on Saturday? They were so goddamn good. And not only were they so good, I thought that game was decided by the fact that the Chargers came out like basically a perfect start... if the Texans defense doesn't play their balls off to start the game... that game could look totally different.

Opinion Football Mild

The Texans beat the Chargers 32-12, largely on the back of defensive dominance and forcing turnovers.

The Chargers' offense over-relied on Lad McConkey

I think the Chargers ran into an acute case of building their entire offense out of Lad McConkey. Lad McConkey had 197 yards. The other wide receivers had 45... They just couldn't do anything that wasn't Lad McConkey.

Fact Claim Football Mild

Verified by the box score; McConkey was indeed the vast majority of the Chargers' passing production.

I'm buying all the Justin Herbert stock right now

I'll say this right now, and this isn't me defending Justin Herbert because he was terrible on Saturday. I will buy all the Justin Herbert stock right now... If you think that he's just like a terrible quarterback, that's fine. I still think he's pretty good.
