And Why in the hell would you do that? Mills has NO playoff experience and hasnt played much in 7 weeks. You are not benching Stroud. Sorry.
If he plays scared again and starts fumbling and throwing stupid picks again, then yeah you do. Like I said, he’s not above a benching like he’s Brady or Montana.
So, you would have benched Josh Allen? Who arguably had as bad of a game as CJ, with 5 actual turnovers.
All I can remember was he was the average QB who had the record comeback in both the NCAA and the NFL. I thought the starter went down early in the game, but that's from a memory even I don't trust anymore.
Mills only took a commercial flight instead of the team flight. He was questionable which meant it was serious and he showed up for the team and the team accommodated his situation. It's actually a very POSITIVE story.
It would be like benching them in their 3rd seasons though which would have been hella weird. Texans need to stick with CJ all game unless it is a legit blow out. Davis is cool and all but we need to give CJ a little more slack. He has played pretty good in the playoffs overall, even in losses (like Chiefs last year). The Steelers game being his worst ome but he still was respectable in it and made plays when it mattered.
Keep am eye on him, but don't let his worst game define him. He has a three year history of great to good ball security. I'm more concerned with the frequency of tipped balls this season. Perhaps he needs better throwing lanes.
Expect at least one trick play. Vrabel comes from the Belichek tree. Likely in the 3rd. Outside of that should be predictable ball control and milking of the cow (clock).
Light snow for most of the game. The heaviest snow is forecast to start around 5 or 6pm and then throughout the evening after the game is over. The 4th quarter might be wild if it hits at 5pm.
