I'm the .1% that knows them better. Even @NoSaintagrees. My hottakes on Brees not being a HOF validate it. 😁

even if they somehow beat us next game - honestly i am not that concerned about them because 1 of two things will happen with their upcoming schedule becoming very difficult: 1) they'll get a *****ton of confidence and show they are world beaters - in which case it won't matter because they can beat anyone. 2) they're going to get pummeled and beaten, with Tua getting banged up again they won't survive past the opening playoff game if they get there. Texans @ Fins - Fins win Fins @ Niners - tough trip out west Fins @ Bolts - 2nd trip out west in 2 weeks Fins @ Bills - Bills will be wanting this revenge Packers @ Fins - the Fins will be beaten up from travel and tough games, this could be tough for them Fins @ Pats - The fins always beat the Pats at home, and lose on the road. Jets @ Fins - final game and they may have 2 losses here so a 5 loss season or 6 loss season may not matter much The Ravens, also, have some interesting matchup coming.

i wonder if he wants to coach again. or if he's just enjoying the easy life.

McDermott only needs to address these problems to the team. I don't think he can own a mistake. I don't think he will, either.

uh, he wears a coat to all games.

CUT ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LOVE VISION QUEST!

he's a fan, too. and maybe having the players at his ear and maybe his frustration caused him to open the vent a little bit to air something we don't know. maybe he did it because he was bored, maybe wanted to spur change, maybe he was drunk and sad that McDermott didn't compliment his new sport coat.... i don't know but i do know that it wasn't on accident.

if i may speak freely based on what i know about him (we aren't best friends but i usually get a good conversation with him in at each game i go to) ....he is frustrated that this organization is floundering and flopping with this talent. for those thinking he cares about notoriety or followers - nah. he is bound by some ethics (both personal and professional) that do not let him just spill the beans. he is a fan of this team and its players. sometimes i wonder which one he likes more, the players or the team. but i think he is frustrated at the circumstances that are being hidden and knowing it is causing a disruption. i don't think he aired this stuff out without sensing that players are now seeing it as a concern. i don't think he'd launch this narrative without several players talking. i do not know his sources with the team on the roster currently, fwiw. in the past, after the fact - he has generally been wide open about issues concerning the Bils. so in a few years we may have those stories coming out but there is something going on there.

Hughes didn't specifically say anything bad about the team but the things he didn't say, the way he left and the chatter from behind the doors was telling that he didn't fit the team and organizations directions. he was constantly at odds with McD i am willing to give him some leash to figure out his first time OCing. There are problems but we have an experienced coach who has 5+ years as HC who should know how to work with young talent and develop someone like Dorsey - who we all knew was raw for the position.

And when Kirby comes in and drops an opinion there is fact to all of this. Everyone calling clickbait by Wawrow doesn't get it. He only shows smoke when there is fire. How justified is Jerry Hughes right now? I'm not saying he's not really good and has potential ... But I don't think he is the problem

Gug and I would take an automated chat bot and use it to reply to him. Whatever he would say we put it as user input. Whatever the AI bot would reply we paste it to him. It'd carry on amazing conversations with him. www.cleverbot.com

If I have sized up Dorsey right he is reaching out to people he trusts. Mentors, etc. Hopefully Ron Rivera, too. I see him as learning a lot this week. McDermott is going to go to the MMA gym, though. He's a players coach.

Eno Benjamin?!?! Championship! Edit... Wait. Who is he?

Dorsey gonna get scapegoated for McD. That's all that matters.

I disagree. Diggs is sincere and unfiltered raw. He's a dick, sure. VM seems contrived and artificial. He speaks well but it doesn't seem genuine. He doesn't show passion like Diggs so it's different. I see Diggs playing to win, chip on his shoulder with emotions always trying to bust out. I see Miller as someone who punches the clock, knows his role and his Excellency. The latter is not an insult to Miller but I've seen him take plays off. He did so a few times yesterday. (all players do, but all players are not Miller)

I saw screen shots and had some reputable folks from this site who I talk to regularly describe the Chargers game as damn near mutiny. It was similar the COVID year in Tennessee and then we cut Spain.

You heard right someone else mentioned it after It was diggs stirring the pot and flaming the DBs (Wallace) vs hughes. Davis got involved. If you notice Diggs and our WRs are oil while our DBs are water. They don't show much support there. And our WR personalities are the antithesis of how Poyer and Hyde are. My hope is Tre loosens things up for them. Mixed in with young rookies.

Should have fired McD. Should have promoted Daboll

I don't think the players dislike him. I think they don't fully trust him. It's easy to get right when we are winning. And it's easy for him to draw in attention and say "blame me" after so many losses but the situation is quirky. Take time everyone and remember 2017. The entire team wanted Taylor to start. This was not widely known at the time but has been leaked since. The team damn near threw the game because Peterman got the start. 5 pick Peterman. McDermott was the HC there that let that happen. Let the team and players damn near get into a fight in the locker room. Players texting friends and family before and during the game they were pissed Peterman was starting. We got our asses handed to us. We're unprepared several times that season then showed hope heading down to Jacksonville only to show up unprepared and unfocused to just stink the field up in an easy game that was close and winnable.

It was great I think he can rebuild the trust in McKenzie. He has spoken well of him before and looked for him yesterday. Their past chemistry is there and if im buying stock in anyone right now it's him Also, I'm concerned with the lack of trust the team has in Hines. Trotting out Cook was fine for a few plays but Hines was brought in by Beane to be a great weapon McD said, "nah bro... Duke Johnson is gonna be me dude.". Going in to be game I was excited we had all 3 going in and like that we still have Gillam and Morris to work in... Two players thar succeeded earlier in the season we have seemingly lost. So Josh's pressure is obvious. His hero ball mentality is back from 2019 with some yips. He doesn't have anyone to calm him down and Dorsey wouldn't be that guy. Now, I've loved Dorsey since he coached Newton to his best playing years but he's not the guy who is ready to temper a young developing QB. Josh isn't Tua or Burrow coming into the league. He's Rodgers or Brady. He is still learning. I bring this up in why I think Daboll had more value than McDermott. The cards didn't fall to get that to happen, though.

Beautiful post by Reed to share here as well. From another thread, obviously.

This is well put together and cannot be ignored. It draws together everything we know to frame what is going on. This post should be read by all and it is why McDermott is a ***** clown until he proves otherwise. He double speaks out the side of his mouth. You combine this what other chatter that has emerged and behaviors we have seen this team make at the behest of McD. Mckensie in the doghouse Benching some randoms Letting Jerry go to Houston - a dude that was completely the culture of this team (I blame McD for this 1000%) McDermott is a great rebuild the culture dude. He's not a championship coach, however. Any chance he does will be the talent he has on the roster - the most talented roster in the NFL in many seasons I'm also concerned with what real role Frazier has with the Defense. Is Frazier running all of it? If so, why do we need McD? I was hoping we kept Dabol. I know and knew McD will choke. I'd have fired him at the year end and put Dabol as HC. Edit: even though Beas was washed up McD sucked balls leading the team there. Just as he did with Araiza. The players didn't care about Araiza but they'd seen McD leave his players out in the rain with McKenzie and Beas. I have, to this day, never seen a player speak out against Beasley. I've seen overwhelming support from McKenzie, Davis, Poyer, Dawkins, and other leaders on this team for who Beas was... And McD let the dude look like a tool. Not that McD could stop him but he should have got up there and said he wants Beasley to feel free to speak his mind and he's not there to decide the truth. Yeah, I'm too tired to write all fancy but he really screwed the pooch on Beasley.

football gods were kind to us yesterday. we deserved karma for both of these mistakes.

Diggs was openly vocal and there was enough chatter even here that people knew he was upset at the pay day every other WR was getting while the team kept telling him he was the fundamental part of our future. this was causing an issue in the room, not a major issue but still an issue. Araiza was a hiccup for the team focused on dialing it in for the season. it never seemed to cause an effect on anyone, though. Poyer isn't malcontent but it is a known issue on the team he wants the deal, and some frustration was there that we brought in some outside help before bringing him to the table. common knowledge, as well. Beasley was talked about enough and enough chatter came out of the locker room and team to verify this. Of all the stuff you say is wrong - which is easily backed up by whats in the media and fanbase - you openly agree with something that was kept very much behind the scenes - Daboll being upset. i found that funny because so little was said of that and the only glimpse was the Miami coach bringing it up to go to the Giants. you don't have to take my word for it but i hear enough from the team about the team from people that i don't just make things up. you can say "journalist" about Wawrow but if you've met him and had a conversation with him you would understand why he says things the way he does. if he is making an off the cuff statement at all then he is frustrated and knows his sources are strong enough he can make a vague statement. the guy doesn't post rubbish - he cannot due to AP policy. (he must have a direct source and verification of said source if not a second source...and if someone is talking to him there is some problems in the team).

And he's unlike any other coach. He wakes up early and does MMA!
