If Allen asks for a new staff he should get it.
oldmanfan replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall
Belichick has said he doesn’t want back into the NFL. And sorry but McCarthy isn’t the answer. You want to bring in a coach that you are saying is kinda dumb? Take a deep breath. -

Not because of you. Because of reality. McD could be replaced if he has lost the faith of the team. People are Ali yelling about replacing Brady, but from all appearances Brady and Josh have worked very well together. We have to beat a team that is the NFL equivalent of Jordan and the Bulls. -

Well there you are then. It is possible you change McD if he has lost the faith of guys in the locker room but there’s no evidence of that. -

You’re emotional over the loss. We all are. But you’re not being at all realistic about any of this. -

Yeah. This will happen. Give me the names of 2 HCs that you think would be absolute upgrades and would achieve what you want. Two that are better than Reid.- 155 replies

Do you deny they’re better? Not by a ton, by a razor’s edge maybe. But they are.

In some ways, this is worse than the drought in my opinion
oldmanfan replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes we do. You get into the playoffs you have a shot. In the drought when we were not in the playoffs we didn't. -
They brought two guys off from our right and Josh shifted protection to the left. So the CB had no one near him to pick him up.

Definitely not worse that the drought. It hurts more to lose at this stage of the year, no question. But we are one of the top teams in the league and have a shot to win it every year right now. -
This is just raw emotion after the loss. Saying you don't care about reality. We are up against one of the best guys to ever do it in Reid, one of the best DCs in Spagnolo, one of the best QBs ever in Mahomes. You keep trying to get better, keep coaching your guys, keep trying to improve your roster. Can we blow things up? sure. But historically that fails more than it works.
-
Nope. Spags made a great call bringing 2 DBs off our right side. Not enough guys to block that.
-
I agree we should have run Cook more. But saying the D made two stops in the 4 th quarter giving them only a FG is not silly narrative building. It is fact.

Why moving on from McDermott is tough due to logistics
oldmanfan replied to iccrewman112's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just stop with Terry really caring. I know we’re all hurting today but let’s not be ridiculous -
Some of this is not accurate. I’ll give you an example from the comments made here during the game yesterday. Three of our brethren, guys that post a lot and all of whom think they’re experts, commented during the first half about our D. One complained we were playing softczone, one said we were playing all man and needed to switch out, and one said we were playing both. We did play more man yesterday that what you are saying about scaredy-cat zones. And calling D against a guy in Reid who to me is right there with Walsh as the best offensive mind ever. And the D made one stop and held them to a FG in the fourth quarter and gave us a shot.

The Chiefs are the better team. It starts with Andy Reid. He is a first ballot HOFer. Saying that does not insinuate McDermott is bad; he did a helluva job this year. But Reid will go down in history as one of the best ever. Spagnolo is one of the best DCs ever. Doesn’t mean Brady is bad; he put together an offense without superstars other than Josh that got them to the championship game. Babich got things figured out in the second half and gave us a shot. But overall we have good to very good coaching; they have some of the best of all time. They were also the better team yesterday because they had guys that beat our counterparts. Their D line won physical battles against our O line. The several tush pushes we didn’t get was simply them winning physical battles. Their WRs were better matched up against our DBs, especially Elam. And I hate to say it, but Mahomes is better than Josh in one category: presnap raads. Were their issues with the refs? Absolutely. Despite all this could we still have won? Yep, if Kincaid catches that ball I think we would have. But the Chiefs are a great team, just that much better than us. Just have to keep working and knocking on the door; it will open someday.

Another BS call where players are supposed to change the laws of physics to avoid hitting someone
