McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.

Do we think his stubborn and persistent deference to the predictability of Leslie Frazier's high-leverage reliance upon passive, reactive off-coverage cushions and vanilla assignment/check/adjustment rules against pre-snap motions was a major failing that colors our perceptions of how he (McDermott) really wants the Bills defense to play? On those rare occasions when McD took over play calling from Frazier, the defense was demonstrably more aggressive and downhill. (I'll never forget McD taking Milano aside during that MNF NE wind/blizzard game and overtly gesturing/imploring him to see the hole and attack the hole, downhill. And then Milano going out there and stringing together consecutive TFLs that killed a drive (or something close to that).) McDermott sullied this interpretation of his own in-game desire for more aggression by calling consecutive zero-blitzes late against both Denver (Russ Wilson) and Philly (Jalen Hurts) who both exploited the gifts the 1st blitz in each sequence had prepared them for. Gotta simulate the pressure on one of those b2b play calls in each situation. Sprinkle in a tendency-killing wrinkle in the coverage behind it. Can't just go full Buddy Ryan twice against a modern NFL offense with a strong, elusive QB and competent offensive coaching, no wrinkles. That's a failure to setup and sequence the play calls. If the first all-out blitz works, but doesn't result in negative play, then you have to switch it up. Dammit, Sean. Sure seems to tighten up with the game on the line. Goes a little blank at the worst times. -

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Reverses Course (improving) With Most Accurate Pollster Latest polling by TIPP found that Trump's net approval rating in terms of job performance specifically has increased from -5 in May to -2 in June, suggesting his standing among voters is improving. The June poll means Trump's approval rating has almost returned to the point it was at in April, when TIPP found he had a -1 approval rating. That poll found that 44 percent approved and 45 percent disapproved of the job Trump was doing. TIPP is considered the most accurate pollster as it is the only national poll to correctly identify the winners of the last six presidential elections. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-latest-poll-2092932 -
The Browns have 7 playoff wins in the superbowl era. Only 7. The Bills have 19. There is no comparison. They are a crap team and have pretty much always been a crap team, minus a random year here and there, since their glory years in the 50's. It's not even the same team today since they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens.

I wear a counterfeit Bruce Smith Silver Anniversary SB25 jersey (but a home blue kit even though they wore white) to many home games...and after stretching it over winter layers and rambunctious tailgates for over a decade now, the seam up one side is split nearly to my armpit making the whole thing open like a smock or something. And even so, I'd rate the build quality above average. No piece of apparel should be subjected to this relentless level of BASF stress/durability-testing. It lives in a pile somewhere all offseason. Then I find and resurrect Lazarus in the dryer just in time to represent each September, with a little more bonus lateral venting each season. Gifted a handful of those Super Bowl 25 Bills jerseys (with the Silver Anniversary shoulder patch) to friends and family. Well, at least once they were released from their long customs delay at the Peace Bridge lol.

UPDATE: ISRAEL v IRAN - Ceasefire reached?
sherpa replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It failed because it was an insane plan, ill researched and led from Washington. I am extremely familiar with the scheme and what was going to happen if things went poorly on day two, which they probably would have. I don't know anybody "romanticizing" anything about it. -
An off-season deep dive: Alex Smith underwent a total of 17 surgeries on his right leg after suffering a devastating compound fracture during a game in 2018. The injury occurred during a sack, and it was compounded by a severe infection called necrotizing fasciitis. The surgeries were necessary to save his leg and life, and they included debridements to remove infected tissue and limb salvage procedures Following the initial surgery, Smith developed necrotizing fasciitis, also known as flesh-eating bacteria. Smith spent months in the hospital and had to use a wheelchair, walker, and crutches before finally being able to walk again. Despite the severity of the injury and the long recovery process, Smith returned to the NFL in 2020 and even started a game for the Washington Football Team. inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class last December. The honor comes three years after earning his spot in Utah's Hall of Fame. When NFL legend Alex Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, learned their daughter Sloane had brain cancer, they felt like their world was crashing down. “You think you have been through a lot, but when it's one of your kids, nothing prepares you for a moment like that,” the former NFL quarterback said. https://www.si.com/college/utah/football/alex-smith-and-wife-reveals-8-year-old-daughter-had-third-10-hour-brain-surgery

Operation Eagle Claw didn’t fail because we lacked guts it failed because it was a logistical nightmare with no margin for error. ‘Would’ve been something’ doesn’t change that 8 Americans died and zero hostages were rescued. Real leadership means learning from disaster, not romanticizing it.
