I like McDermott and appreciate that he has been the purveyor of turning this organization around. However I think he's just taken us as far as he could, we're on the downward and we missed our peak with him at the helm. His inability to fully understand offense and make good decisions with personnel and coaches has always been his weakness. I'd call it largely a failure. More recently his brand of defense is exposed. His greatest asset is his ability to bring people together and get them to play and care about each other. We all know he preaches self development. He believes in doing the same things, just do them better. He's a toughness coach, beat the man in front of you. It feels like that message is fractured and I think he'll have to coach his way to gaining the players respect back. I think he'll fail and the team will fray. He's not a strategist. X's and O's aren't his strong suit.

Watch Buffalo '66 instead.

Beane and McDermott are equals, so McDermott can do whatever he wants without anything being allowed by Beane.

Congrats McD

I love how Keon adjusts to the opposite shoulder throw. He's just so athletic.

Another poorly coached affair.

Unacceptable play calling. Once again a team is daring us to beat them and we refuse their advanced. Brady: "Hey guys what do you think they're going to try and do to us on defense?" Coaches :"Ok, let's do this?" Brady: "Nope, we'll keep doing what we were, they'll never see it coming.". Instead of a 3 yard play on second down, we'll do it on 3rd and long".

Total boneheads with strategy.

Great time out. This is the coach we want to stay with.

Poorly coached/prepared..... again.

I'm thinking Moulds was a stud with YAC.

Same McDermott. No attempt at a quick snap. He never learns.

I think you might be reading fantasy trade projections.

We agree. I stated, that they put far too much emphasis on character. The (albeit very funny) joke, IMO, sealed it for them. Then probably back filled themselves from there to liking him more. He's a hindrance to the offense and I would largely get him off the field. Maybe bring him in on rushing plays, as I think he's a good blocker.

You're right, we've devoted much more than what the Chiefs did in the draft for Jones. Much much more. The issue is we've not played good defense for most of McDermott's tenure. At maximum he's ranked high at times - however situationally, strategically, schematically and his timely defense has been atrocious. He's a fine leader and he's brought a new respect to our organization. That's all fine, but he's not a hugely talented game day and game prep coach. Wait, you want to blame the talent evaluation, but you want to give a first and more for Olave, when he can be had for far less?

Obviously fans admitting sooner or later on a player has no effect and I don't think it was completely unreasonable to think a player coming off a rookie season can't get better. Especially if he's working as hard as Keon has. I've just seen enough. He doesn't have the coordination to play in the league, especially on a supposed super bowl contender.

I had hoped and fell into the trap of liking the pic. He'll never work out. He's just not talented or coordinated enough. I obviously don't know the young man, so I'm not saying he's dumb, but he plays dumb.

Keon told a joke on his draft process interview and that's what mattered most to these idiots.

McD has gotten massive resources on defense. My expectation is he's as good defensively as Reid is offensively. It's not the case.

How appropriate. Phillips, the guy McD had to have back. You know, guys that know his system.

This team is an embarrassment. Josh may be a problem this week for the coaches.

Yeah, imagine if McD had better players. He'd have multiple championships. I'm sure the Chiefs are just waiting for us to let him go.

They're blitzing non stop. Brady: Go long. That didn't work. Brady: Do it again. That didn't work. Brady: Do it again. Punt

You're right Cook. They're idiots.

They are now acting like the Falcons and letting you beat them. Our coaches can't execute.
