This one is shocking because as good as the defense was playing early on they have just had three of the worst defensive performances in history. And one DT doesn't make that much difference.
Upset? Don't give yourself credit. Your argument is inane, ridiculous, and absurd. Said objectively and without emotion.
And they lost yesterday in part, a very large part, because the HC took a calculated risk that blew up in his face.
For once in the entire17 year stretch we need to get some continuity in process. Like when Polian came in. Young guy , but he laid it out for Ralph. Told him he simply didn't have good enough players and didn't pay well enough.
mcD and Beane? My guess is they've told Terry they don't have good enough players. Players that want to win. Last couple week have been depressing to say the least, but draft picks and cap space are coming. Front office has good talent evaluators. Play out this year, hopefully but doubtfully catch lightning in a bottle like early this season. And see what happens.
Nothing would make me reconsider.
Some folks here need to grow a pair. I remember years like from 1969-712. Or say 83-85. Years when you knew the team had little chance of winning. I've been a fan since opening day 1960. Today was depressing, as was last week. But that doesn't mean you should bail out.
Unadulterated absolute nonsense. The NFL has a committe with guys like Polian and Dungy who review and make recommendations about guys who are ready for a HC job. McD was prominent on that list.
Just stop with this incessant crap.
Very depressing day obviously. When Benjamin gets hurt so early could tell it was bad karma. But the billionaire owner is not telling the front office to save money. That is just inane.
I've asked the mods to take it down. Didn't mean to start something; I just glanced at a TV and saw this streaming during First Take and wanted to find out what the deal was. And it's crap.
I just passed by a TV in the doctor's lounge and they had on First Take. And the banner at the bottom said that Taylor is suggesting the change may be racially motivated? where's that coming from?
People need to quit using trite hackneyed expressions like: they are panicking. Panicking. Really.
McD is the kind of coach who knows how he wants his team to play, evaluates things constantly, and gives serious thought to changes. Beane is the same in his job. Saw this with Dareus; did his production and effort merit his big salary? No. So move on.
They have said over and over again they have short and long term plans. They want the playoffs this year and for years to come. After considerable thought McD thinks Peterman gives them a better chance to run the offense. May work out, may not. But spare me the panicking nonsense. There is not one single thing in the HC or GM history to suggest decisions are made out of panic.
