McDermotts philosophy of building an elite offensive line and reliable running game has freed Josh up to have a career season. He’s responsible for firing Dorsey, hiring Brady and changing the philosophy of this team to be a multi dimensional offense. Josh isn’t winning MVP without McDermott.
McD deserves credit and also deserves criticism. On that everyone should agree. He hasn’t ruined Allen, so at least there’s that. He’s created a culture in which Josh can flourish and become a global icon. The O philosophy is obviously a massive win for him.
He fired Dorsey whom he never should have hired in the first place!
His D needs to be better.

Still don't know why no time ran on the onside kick.
The time keeper is a Lions fan.

There is an eternity left in this game. At least an hour in real time.

This onside kick is a dumb call
NOBODY is more aggressive than Dan Campbell. He is aggressive for the sake of being aggressive. It’s his identity.

You don't think Puca was making incredible catches?
Puca is absolutely elite and one of the top 3 receivers in the game. It’s still concerning that nobody could make a play last week. One big stop would have been enough the way Josh was playing.
The third down conversion rate was absolutely unacceptable.

Kupp eye candy?

So many missed holding calls last week. This week they’re calling holding…
Q for experts: are O linemen allowed to grab defenders by their neck and haul them down to the ground?

McD is a defensive guru.
His philosophy seems to be: Run on us as much as you want. Move the ball up and down the field. We’re not gonna try to stop anything. We won’t let Tyreek Hill run for 80 yards but everything else, please be our guest. We’re just gonna rally to the ball and tackle. You can kill
us but you have to kill us slowly.
Our QB is really good therefore it doesn’t matter how bad my D is… Does he take pride in this approach?
Shocking how mediocre Stafford looks against SF. He also looked mediocre in the first half (in the dome!) the week before against the Saints too. He came alive in the second half in that game.

1) I think it's a crime that Elam is not being given the opportunity to play. Create schemes where his obvious talents can be used. Could the Bills have done any worse had they simply dressed Elam and had him travel with Nacua?
Well said.

Absolutely. Split the reps. Hasn’t Dorian earned it?

I’m not a film guy but from my position as Couch GM/HC/OC/DC I see a very vanilla defensive line that depends 100% on DL winning their matchups and 0% on scheme to help them do it. I don’t see many stunts, I don’t see many simulated pressures. All I see is 4 guys rushing, usually a contained rush, and hoping one of those guys wins a rep and gets some pressure. That’s pretty easy to defend against.
Would some of you guys please get of Milano’s jock? It’s completely obvious McD is just trying to get him lots of reps now to play himself into game shape and hopefully he’ll be close to the Milano of old by the time the playoffs roll around. It blows my mind that some people think a guy who hasn’t played in over a year is going to come in and be the Milano of old. I’m more than happy to let him get the rust off even if it means contributing to a loss or two. If we can get a healthy Milano playing close to what he used to that’s worth more than 5 Dorian Williams. IDK if it’s going to work out but it’s so easy to see the strategy here I’m surprised many of you don’t see it.
Elam must really suck for McD to say “we’ll see” when asked about him. I’ll echo what others have said - it’s not the talent it’s that McD doesn’t trust him to be in the right place all time. He values consistency above all else.
Agree that Milano needs significant time
to shake off the rust. But why not split some reps with Dorian? Hasn’t Dorian earned it?

I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I’m glad we’re playing Detroit this week. The final 3 games of the season won’t have much intensity because of the low quality of our opponents.
This is the game of the week, and it will tell us a lot about the reality of our Super Bowl aspirations.
Competing against Detroit gives us a chance to see if McD’s D can elevate its play to compete against a Super Bowl caliber group. We already know QB 1 is having an MVP caliber season. Our future first ballot HoF QB has nothing left to prove. We need the D to step the hell up. They need to play their part in a potential superbowl run.

That was a blunder. But it was a small factor in the overall loss.
I’m much more concerned with the fact that McVay’s O B-slapped McD’s D up and down the field for 60 minutes. McD and Babich had NO answers.
And coach Smiley obviously has egg all over his kisser.

Here’s a question I have for NFL aficionados and junkies. Rams beat the Saints last week, in NO, 21-14. The Saints actually shut the Rams out in the first half. Stafford found his rhythm in the second.
The week before against the Eagles, they were hot and cold, scoring only 20 in a loss. Rams were 0-8 on third down in that one! Under 200 yards passing.
What did the Saints and Eagles D do that ours couldn’t?
How was McVay’s O able to b-word slap McD’s D up and down the field.
This is on McD’s unit. He should feel embarrassed. Your QB plays like a GOD and you piss all over yourself for 60 minutes.

I’m a big Ja’Marcus Ingram fan, but having Elam as a healthy scratch is a giant mistake. Both should be dressed. We struggle when either outside corner gets dinged up.
I am not a Cam Lewis fan and would prefer to get both Ingram and Elam on game day.
Milano shouldn’t be starting yet. For the second week in a row I would have liked to have seen Williams out there. Milanos snap percentage is waaaay too high.
McD has a man crush on Milano. Glad he’s out there but was seeing a lot of great stuff from Dorian… want to see him have some snaps.

On that last TD to Nacua, they set a pick play to get him open and the other receiver just bear hugged the defender to set a pick. Is that allowed?
For sure that was holding. But the D had all game to get a stop and they couldn’t rise to the occasion.

Don’t want to be an alarmist. But after watching football for 40 years this is what I think.
This defense is really BAD. There are so many ways to beat them! With speed. With size. With scheme. Can’t stop the run. Don’t even want to stop the run. You can’t get a finger on Stafford? He’s not a mobile guy.
Stafford didn’t have a single bad play. Whenever you have a team go 90% on third down conversion it’s a sign that something is seriously wrong.
I don’t mind the loss. I am concerned that this defense is simply not good. They won’t be able to stop Detroit, Philly, Baltimore… and LA apparently. For sure, they can beat anyone because Allen is a GOD. But he has to overcome a mediocre and oftentimes just plain bad defense.
Where does McD’s D excel? The philosophy seems to be “ You can have the whole field. Do whatever you want. We’ll try to get a stop in the red zone.”
That’s not a formula to win a championship.
I give McD credit for creating a great team culture. But his D are not built to win championships and never have been.

For this half at least, the Rams are faster, more physical, and better coached.

Cute, like Lions coaching inside his 30
That means the expectation is that a team goes 17-0 and has no bad plays?

It’s like Dan Campbell is a regular Lions fan in the stands calling those plays. “Go for it!!”
The hyper elevated levels of testosterone running through his veins tells him that the aggressive call is always the right call. It will catch up to him eventually. Law of averages.
100 years of punting on fourth down deep in your own territory is precedent for a reason. But he thinks he’s going to reinvent the wheel.
