This isn’t quite that scenario.

Stefanski is a great play caller…when he’s prepared against a team. There’s times I’ve seen him call a masterpiece, and then there’s the Texans wildcard game last…[Read more]

Unfortunate, because it’s likely going to end with a few folks getting fired.

I am glad Stefanksi realized that.
