Doc Brown

He was referencing the 2020 team (our defense finished 16th in ppg and 14th in ypg that year). Not the 2021 team. Beane made similar comments. He wants to be proven right and I guess he thinks the KC loss validates it.

I get it. The patience for McDermott seems to be running thin. Lol.

Great. Can’t wait for the Chargers to win it all in 2031.

It took him like six years just to beat Ohio State.

They got two at home this year and two on the road I believe (Jets, Cowboys, @Eagles, @Chiefs). All could've easily been coveted Prime Time games before the season started.

Seems to be a common theme with teams that have played Josh a lot (Belichick, Saleh, Spags). Hate to say it but they're usually right if their team can stay close. I still hate the Shakir shot play. Worst call and decision of an otherwise brilliant game by Brady and Josh.

The Bengals playoff game was an embarrassment. This was expected to be a close game and it was. CBS late window would be my guess. That time frame usually draws the biggest audience.

Name me a head coach that's lasted this long who hasn't fired a crapload of coordinators.

We heard the same thing when he fired Dorsey and Frazier. It doesn't mean they were the wrong moves though.

Maybe a couple of lower level lateral transfers but that's about it. Going from 6-6 to the 2 seed and a playoff win saved a lot of jobs. McDermott may give someone the title of DC but he'll continue to call plays imo.

It's a wide range.

Wonder if that’s coming to a Bills Embedded episode?

From everything that's ever been said about him is nobody works harder at his craft so I don't know where you get that from. He's just physically limited when it comes to separating in the short to intermediate areas of the field. We need to upgrade and it's pry going to have to happen in the draft.

The Chiefs were prepared for it because I could pry punt farther than Martin given his hamstring injury. Combine that with poor execution and that's what you get. Wasn't a fan of the call but will admit I'd call it genius if it worked.

I was begging too (but verbally during the play live) knowing it's a probable first down, we're in the red zone, and that clock keeps rolling. I knew our skeleton crew defense wasn't stopping Mahomes from a game winning TD so I thought our only chance to win was to bleed that clock down and score a TD under 30 seconds. The "what if" he checked it down to Diggs is the equivalent to "what if" they squib kicked it during 13 seconds to me.

If we had the health KC did on defense we would've won this game. If you believe in curses then yes this team will never win a Super Bowl. If you believe in the laws of probability we're more likely to win a Super Bowl in the next five years as long as Beane, McDermott, and Allen are all in place.

Glad there's a positive thread as even the most casual fan is mad as hell looking for someone to blame. Not sure if we even make it this far without the additions of Douglas or Johnson. Losing just sucks. Losing to the Chiefs in the playoffs again sucks even more.

If Allen was on the punt team they might have been suspicious.

I said he was the reason we were even in that position. He’s the highest paid player on the team though. He has to play smarter there. Take your damn profits.

He’s the reason we had a shot. Him not checking down to Diggs is the reason we lost. Don’t know if we’ll ever beat four playoff teams in a row with his decision making.

A 100 page thread that will mean nothing. He’s not going anywhere guys.

Losing sucks.

The wind pushed that one to the left.

I'd figure he'd get some interest given how well they performed at least statisically near the top in most metrics in his year and a half as offensive coordinator here. Does Stefanski call plays?
