Summary

The Minnesota Vikings took a major risk by committing to J.J. McCarthy this offseason and now that his season is over due to injury, it is time to look back on the whole season and admit McCarthy is a massive bust. Tyler was right about McCarthy, but also called the demise of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Detroit Lions along with having faith in the Pittsburgh Steelers and Jacksonville Jaguars. However, there was a lot that Tyler got wrong this season like the New England Patriots and Houston Texans making the playoffs and Tyler Shough proving he is a NFL QB and the future of the New Orleans Saints. Finally, there are some things that remain unresolved like the fate of the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams. The Rams just made a major change to the coaching staff to try and reach their goals.
