Royale with Cheese

You need to roll a joint right now and put your feet up.

Yes.

I feel that McDermott is going to be extremely aggressive for the rest of the season. He probably knows he has a reputation of being conservative but it probably rolls off his back because he has had a lot of success. But with this coming out, its now in the spotlight and every move will be more scrutinized and magnified…especially late in games. He doesn’t seem to know the in between. Either way too conservative or all out blitz like in the Broncos game. The thought of handing over play calling duties in the 4th to Bishop probably should be on the table.

Teller spoke well about McDermott a year or two ago.

Its not the article. They already knew the story. Its now their coach is under scrutiny and how they respond to it. Not saying the won’t play hard but when you really respect someone, you will dig a little deeper. I am sure there’s coaches you would run through a wall for and others you wouldn’t.

This is alarming to me. The Daboll thing I looked at as sometimes that happens. Some people just don't get along for whatever reason. But when it's this many, its a gigantic. The only positive way you can look at this situation is if McDermott looks in the mirror and sees himself as the root issue. He knows everything that is being said about him. He probably has an idea who Dunne interviewed. This is how you are viewed amongst your peers....this is not the look you want.

When he really wants to get pumped up….he probably blasts this in his truck on repeat on the way to OBD.

For a HC, I think it's better to be viewed by your team that you will hold yourself accountable regardless of what the national media's opinion is. We don't know what the behind the scenes is like. Lets see how this team responds when their coach is under this much scrutiny. This or after the Philly game, Dunne was done with McDermott and he was going to spark it with this article. If we were lets say 9-3, I don't think this comes out until after the season.

I wasn't saying he was praising the hijackers. It's 100% his decision making. He doesn't come up with this pep talk on the whim, he thought this out and in this process, he thought it was acceptable. It's the obliviousness that concerns me.

Yep. Very interested to see how the team responds. I think that is going to determine his fate. If the team plays flat the 5 games, he has to go. If they play hard and we win, like you said make the playoffs…probably deserves another year.

I think we find out how the team feels about McDermott this game. Will this team be dead or fight for their coach. They know the stress he is under, how will they respond?

This is how I feel. McDermott really F’ed up with his 9/11 example. It has made me change my opinion on him. Not that I don’t think he’s a good or genuine person, his thought process really concerns me now. Now instead of just focusing on KC, this has taken over. A McDermott that has a divided focus on Sunday scares a lot.

Not sure I understand the reason for this thread. What if Tyreek Hill was on the Bills? What if Joe Burrow was a Jet?

He has been benched. You can’t just box score evaluate. He has been ripped by Steelers fans and loses his job…he is really loving life on his new team? https://stillcurtain.com/posts/steelers-levi-wallace-shows-why-most-unplayable-cornerback-in-nfl-01hdcmdtj3z5 https://www.steelernation.com/2023/10/30/steelers-mike-tomlin-declares-rookie-joey-porter-jr-starter-over-levi-wallace It just doesn’t make sense to me that Wallace would yell “Get in their face and challenge them” when he is one of the corners on the field….especi That sounds like a player on the sidelines or who plays another position yelling at McDermott to play the corners up. The quotes and stories are from now and/or 3 years ago. Why is it so hard to believe this was quoted last year to finally put it in an article this year? Quotes in articles aren’t always recent.

Levi Wallace isn’t a starter either. Joey Porter Jr took his spot.

It would be brutal for McDermott to come back to Buffalo after a loss. Fans would stay on him.

It would if it was quoted last year. It was the first year Hughes left the Bills, was the starter, put up his second highest sack total in his career and is from Houston. Sounds to me like a guy loving life on his new team.

I am not sure when this was quoted but Hughes is from Houston and had 9 sacks last year.

Hughes is more fiery. Wallace seems cool and calm. My opinion on McDermott has changed after this article. I think he is probably a decent human and good guy. I think he is a good game planner but can’t make right changes once the game gets tight at the end…he loses internal composure.

To me, it sounds more like Jerry Hughes.

"Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows?"

What a story it would be if McDermott is fired over this.

They are which is why I decided to watch his Netflix special. My favorite short clip comedian is Bill Burr.

I watched this like 3 days ago. I never heard of this guy but he's good.

Ahh...didn't know that. So it would have to be either take time off, coach college or take a TV job? He's not a TV personality so we can rule that out lol.
