    Reid is 9-6 with an elite QB.  Inexcusable.  

     

    Yeah, I'm being sarcastic.  And, yes, the situation with McD isn't exactly equivalent.  Reid's earned patience with his trophies.  McD doesn't have that cred yet.  Still, they're both 9-6 this season despite having great QBs.  

     

     

    The Head Coach is important and should be held accountable for the performance of his team.  But I like to remember that he's just one piece of a large organization that includes a lot of immature 20-something-year-old kids.  I wouldn't judge Rembrandt on one of his brushstrokes.  Likewise, I don't judge a coach on one season or one game, let alone 13 seconds of a game.  

     

    Vince Lombardi, Belichick, Walsh... all the great coaches suffered through disappointing seasons whether it was because of injuries, bad luck, poor player chemistry, a weak roster, or whatever.   Having a good QB doesn't automatically mean a team should appear in the SB.  If only it were that simple.  

     


    McD for us has had huge coaching gaffes in literally every season we’ve been in the playoffs, hasn’t learned anything or improved after 7 years here with blunder after blunder and many of them being the same kind, and has always had a defense here that folds the majority of the time in big spots. He’s been bailed out a ton by #17. 
     

    He’s also whiffed on 2 out of 3 OC hires with Brady to be determined. What happens if Brady’s good and gets hired away too, we’re back in the same boat of the offense with our franchise player hinging on who he hires again? 
     

    And yes as you mentioned, this can not compare with Reid having gone to 3 SB’s and winning 2 along with 2 AFC title game appearances. We have 1 AFC title game appearance and 3 early exits. 
     

    If we don’t make a great run to win it all this year, that’s 6 years of Allen with no ring…that absolutely is very disappointing.

    If you get a team that makes playoffs yearly, you don't change a lot at coaching imo.

     

    You crazies that think ousting McDermott will get us a Lombardi are bonkers.  We should be ECSTATIC to have such a coach here.  Especially given the fact coaches aren't just around in mass quantities.   Good ones that is.

     

     


    Just making it to the playoffs is not the standard if you have a generational talent at QB. 
     

    We would be ecstatic about having a good coach if we did actually have one.

    No way, one of McD’s strengths is having time to prepare.  And you wouldn’t take 3 INTs from Purdy in the 1st half of the Super Bowl?


    Sure, but I don’t think that would happen against us. 
     

    I don’t know how some of you scoff at facing these teams on the big stage when McD’s been a massive choker in the postseason, especially in the biggest moments.

  3. I saw someone on the comments in that tweet say Jones was trying to give the ball to the Raiders fan who was reaching down that was behind the kids and then took it back when the Chiefs kids were reaching for it. Who knows. 


    I actually think it's kind of funny that he did it.

    I appreciate the optimism, but that was the Bills Super Bowl as well.

     

    If they lost, they go home. Season is likely over.

     

    Can't let teams stick around like that. Love the win though and I'm thrilled, regardless.

     

    Right, I'd understand that logic more if we were coasting to the playoffs and this was just another game for us. But we had much more on the line here than they did.
