Too bad he didn't at least peek at Morris. That would've been a 1st down inside the 5. Josh has got to spread it around more. Stop focusing on Diggs/ Davis only.

Klein over Dodson, Bernard....yes please, especially going against Chubb. Now can we please mix in a few plays to Hines & Shakir.

Every single player acquired at the trade deadline had an immediate impact on their new team except Hines. If we’re going to dick around and not use these guys why the F did we waste the picks?

That's all I need is 1 day. Run a 5-2 in the snow. Stop Nick Chubb. Win the game 10-7 and retire the next day with a .1000 winning percentage.

The only reason we had a small uptick in running efficiency late last year was Daboll pulling his guards on outside runs. We're rarely doing that with Dorsey. The bottom line is McD has known for over 3 years our OL is deficient. Yet he continues to burn high draft picks on defense.

Yup....more defense, less offense, the McDermott way.

Agree, I would rather deal with a few extra Browns fans in a dry, windless stadium....then shuttle players to an empty, snow bound windy mess. A scene out of The Shining....the decision is taking way too long?

Exacty, as others have said he's more aggressive now because of Josh. But what about his expertise? Where's the clutch 4th down defense? Where was it up 16-0 in Houston. Where was it in the 20' AFCCG? How about that aggressiveness with 13 seconds left. I have no issues being aggressive 70% of the time with JA17. But when do we get to see that aggressive on the defensive side of the ball?

Yes he's pressing and it's obvious to anyone. That's what happens when he's expected to be 92% of the offense. Run more. Checkdown more. And eventually your deeper throws to Diggs & Gabe will open up and return.

I would too but stubborn McFrazier will never leave Nickel.

Yes

We do dumb things because our coaches are dumbasses. Somewhere Andy Reid is just laughing at what we're doing to Josh.

I agree we don't have the luxury of time. Dorsey has gotta retrace his Daboll steps. Buy Josh some time and use more of his concepts.

You can't be a defensive guru and have your defense fail every playoffs. I agree Josh thrived his last 2 years with Daboll. And he's struggling with Dorsey. Patrick has Andy and it reflects in his play and stability. Josh is now kinda alone. The offensive concepts aren't working the same. JA needs help & support.

2 turkey legs for Josh in one day. 🦃🦃

It's like someone said a couple days ago regarding McDermott. When he first started out he was very conservative. Always went for the fgs most of the time. Then when we tried to keep up with KC using fgs, it clearly was a failed strategy. Now it's like we've completely "over-corrected". It's OK to be aggressive 60-70% of the time but that 4th & 2 was screaming kick the damn fg. Get points and go up 30-17. With all the redzone mistakes we're getting nothing.

Playing Cam Lewis last week over Marlowe just drips of mismanaged loyalty. Marlowe was the clearly better player. Juquan has been terrible. Hey let's give the ST guy a chance. Just stupid coaching decision.

Yea, this is aggressive even by the curse's standards.

Something....anything....nothing....

Who reports to who on this team. Who is the one that thinks he's in charge?

I gave McDermott the benefit of the doubt when his defense blew a 16-0 lead in Houston. I tried to rationalize why KC dismantled his defense in 2020 AFCCG. Last year was the final straw. He was directly responsible for not getting his ST unit ready for a pooch. Or defending the sidelines while Andy has 3 timeouts. We've experienced countless bonehead gameday decisions by both Frazier & McD. And now there's concerns for Dorsey? I wanted McD to kick the short fg and put us up 30-17. The Vikings are not Mahomes. But oh well. Daboll helped Josh and now he's gone. McD or Dorsey have gotta find a way to restructure Josh's responsibilities. He can't be expected to be 95% of the offense. Without neutering his elite athleticism, give Josh a better OL and maybe a fraction of a run game. And finally if you have dumb players on your team ( Cam ) then release them. The coaches are responsible for this.

If you're going up against Mahomes I can see going for the td on 4th & 2. But the Vikings are not KC. Take the damn 13 point lead and get Cam Lewis out of there ( Marlowe?).......

No one can quite settle me down and talk me off the ledge like Josh. This kid is so remarkable and such a great attitude. Figures Clappy loves Vision Quest.

Devin's pass blocking has been exceptional.

Exactly....they could've at the very least played Rhodes and Marlowe more. I've given up on ever seeing Tre this fall?
