A pretty funny analysis I saw:

Before Minecraft city (2007–2013): 5–3 in the playoffs — 62.5% win rate

After starting the city (2014–2025): 3–9 in the playoffs — 25.0% win rate

That 3-9 record is still 9 playoff appearances. Most coaches barely get one. It is just incredibly hard to win in the NFL.

i’d lose myself in a creative world if i lead a team that demands excellence without a franchise quarterback. imagine how many meetings this man endured in lieu of a capable qb.

but it is cool how mike’s minecraft story follows a familiar arc for anyone raising kids after 2009, and learning about his interests in architecture and urbanism.
