I don't hate that Vrabel got it. Depends what weight is given to the playoffs with these awards I guess?
Tennessee has Tannehill at QB and lost Henry for a portion of the season, yet came out with the #1 seed. You could argue that the Chiefs/Bills may have picked up the #1 seed if they'd have had their act together all year, but Tennessee and GB were the two most consistent teams this year, and the Packers had Rodgers to carry them there.
I can agree it's a pretty bad pick if the playoffs are given much consideration with these awards though. Don't think Tennessee played a great game against us by any stretch.

But they did though. Their defense was lights out - including 9 sacks. They held us to only 1 Mixon TD, and one long play by Chase. On offense AJ Brown went off for
142 yards and a TD (think he was the only WR besides Adams to go over 100 on us all season). The difference was Tannehill turning the ball over 3x. Which isn’t really on the coaching.

Yep, happens every year...regular season award looks stupid by the time the Super Bowl comes around. Aaron Rogers for MVP? Wrong...should be one Joseph Lee Burrow.
At least they got Ja'marr as OROTY correct, and Burrow also as comeback player of the year.

They had a million injuries and went 12-5. Vrabel did a great job. Taylor did as well, so I hope the vote was at least close.
Really? I know of one really big one, but thought they were largely healthy? And 12 wins is the best in the NFL. A little less impressive when you say that you get four games against the Jags and Texans.
But you are right, it is a regular season award, or the same coaches would win it every year.

Now leaning as heavily as they did on Henry when Foreman had been playing well and played well when he did get touches that in my opinion was why they lost the game.
Almost as dumb a choice as not giving the ball to Marshawn at the goal line. I remember saying "WTF are they DOING?". Then, I celebrated like the Bengals just won because that was the DUMBEST call I have seen since Pete forgot that he had Marshawn. And it isn't just because it didn't work.

I think these awards have evolved into "Thanks for participating but here's something to make you feel good" awards.

What's wrong with a long-time butt-hurt team like the Bungles depending on a super rookie like Legs Benedict to get us through the playoffs and into the Super Bowl?

I'll admit to being butt hurt on a few occasions, but I try to keep it to myself at my age..Anyone care to read about my hemorrhoids?

We all know Vabrel would trade that MVP award for the Lombardi anytime. I'm sure Zac is happy, specially after 2 losing seasons.

The voting was shit by whoever voted, but I’m not upset Vrabel winning.
But Zac should have been 2nd. That’s silly.
Let’s just blow the doors down in the play offs

Some will say Vrabel deserves it for winning without Derrick and with Tannehill as his QB.
We’ll probably say Zac gets it for being the best second half coach in football, having a top offense with no offensive line and beating Vrabel while out coaching him.

They set an NFL record for the number of players they had to field during the season due to injuries and covid.

What a satisfying win. We heard all week how the King is Back and they were going to stomp us in the ground... very proud of our defense playing so well.
