Molly Polly II's Call for Change: The End of an Era for Coach Mike
Molly Polly II speculates on the implications of the game for coach Mike, suggesting that a loss could mark the end of his tenure. With the Broncos and Jaguars expected to win their games, the Patriots will have strong motivation to secure the second seed. The cold weather (around 27 degrees) is also noted as a factor. The prediction is a 33-20 win for the Patriots, with "NonMagic Mike" being named MVP, implying a desire for his departure as head coach.
AquaAndOrange's Perspective: Coaching Stability and Future Planning
AquaAndOrange believes that coach McD's job security is not solely dependent on the New England game, suggesting that if it were, he would have been fired already. The Patriots are seen as playing for the number one seed, while the Dolphins' performance in this game is viewed as more of a pre-season practice. The fan indicates that McD is likely safe for at least another season, as the team focuses on future roster changes and evaluating his performance without certain players.
