Seems like some people want McDermott to just throw his players under the bus.
Him saying “I have to watch the tape” is how he avoids doing that, IMO.
He knows they they played like crap and I am sure he said that to them behind closed doors. But that doesn’t mean he should do it openly to the media. Players tend to appreciate their coach keeping things behind closed doors.
Well, that was more brutal than I could have imagined...
the announcer said said that was the first time in Baltimore’s history that they held a team to 0 first downs in the first half.
And mind you, they’ve won 2 Super Bowls...
What I hate about games like this, is that it makes me doubt everything so much - from the coaches, to the personnel guys to the GM.
and I’ve loved this coaching staff and GM so far, and am usually very optimistic. But it’s damn hard not to doubt them when things are going this badly. We don’t even look like we could beat a CFL team right now.
I honestly did start laughing after that return. Like you said, no other choice. If we are going to be comically bad, I’m going to at least laugh about it.
Well, hey at least I’m not nervous about this game anymore.
We suck. On Offense, defense and social teams.
Its funny, I just said to my buddy - hey, at least our special teams has been ok. Welp, cross that off the list. lol
Really dumb penalty by Taron Johnson.
This is is exactly what McDermott meant when he said these first few weeks, games are won with good fundamentals and not beating yourself with penalties + mistakes.
Well, hey our new punter is looking good!
And he may get a whole lot of practice today.... make up for all those preseason reps he missed.
He might get a preseason worth of reps in one game! lol
