It's HIS coordinator! Who imposed Dorsey on McDermott? Who let Dorsey come back? You still act like McDermott is just a helpless, innocent bystander. If he doesn't like something, he can change it. He's the Head Coach. And if he doesn't know how to change anything on that side of the ball, he should not be a Head Coach. A Head Coach is a different job from a coordinator. You DO have to be involved in all facets of the game and be knowledgable about all facets of the game. You keep doing this over and over again where you think McD and Dorsey are isolated issues. They are not. They are one in the same.

The defense was lucky the Bengals shot themselves in the foot a few times too. Everyone knew on that last drive there was no way we were getting that stop. If they went pedal to the metal they would've blown the doors off us.

This is such a strange argument. Do you think things are getting better here? Would you not want to try to get someone who can even possibly take you over the top when you have a guy that has shown he can't do it and whose team and program has been in decline? Yes, there's always a risk of getting worse. But what are you afraid of losing here?

Either that or he let Dorsey do it himself and didn't interject. I don't even care which one it was to be honest, I don't see how either of those doesn't fall on the Head Coach ultimately. It's the same way I felt when people would say Frazier's defense was too soft. I completely agreed...but in the end that problem is on the Head Coach. He isn't just a helpless, innocent bystander. He's the Head Coach for a reason and he's showing us he can't handle the responsibility especially when he has a struggling coordinator. We've seen it multiple times now and it's even worse when it's not on "his" side of the ball. That tells you he's not cut out to be a Head Coach, at least not a championship caliber one.

OK, then you're getting what you want right now. Enjoy it.

I'm willing to risk getting worse if it means we have the chance to get better. Which with an elite talent at QB, we absolutely do. I'm also wiling to take that risk when we know we will never win it all with this current head coach.

McD is not above throwing someone under the bus. See 13 seconds. He's not some honorable leader that took the fall. He basically told us it was someone else's fault for not relaying what he supposedly wanted, if we believe that. I'm not sure I do, but either way he did throw the old ST coach under the bus to everyone.

What success? We made it to an AFC Championship 3 years ago and it's been downhill ever since, including the 13 seconds debacle. Do you believe things are getting better here?

You think this the mark of a good head coach, a guy who didn't ask his OC until after the game why he stopped doing something that worked??? McDermott is not just a defensive coordinator, he is the Head Coach. This idea you guys have that the head coach is an innocent bystander and has no ability to interject during the game and be part of the overall philosophy is either dumb or some kind of apologetics propaganda for McDermott. Again, it's the same nonsense people would do when Frazier was here. "It's not McDermott's fault, he doesn't run the defense!" As if there is absolutely nothing he can do if he sees things he doesn't like. It's on McD if something happens that doesn't make sense to him and he doesn't do anything to interject or make a change. This is his team, it's not Dorsey's. If he can't handle it, which he very clearly can't, he needs to go. Not just Dorsey, that doesn't solve the biggest problem.

If McD's doing the right thing, he'd resign. It's like you guys don't believe in responsibility for the Head Coach for when they not only hire the wrong guy, but keep him for another season and do absolutely nothing to change anything. There is no reason to trust McD to make the next hire. He is completely in over his head, you can see it right now. He doesn't have answers for anything, and then they stop doing the few things that actually work. It's complete madness and he's at the head of it.

He should, it's McD's own failure. He's not a martyr. He created this mess.

But then you proceed to want to let him completely off the hook for it. That's what I'm pointing out. It's like the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Jerry Seinfeld comes on and they're making fun of how people say something that's factual and then follow it up with "having said that" and say the complete opposite. That is exactly what you're doing. McDermott is the one who needs to go along with Dorsey. That's his guy and this went on for more than a season. It's the same nonsense where you guys would skirt responsibility with him and put it on Frasier. That was his guy and he had him stick around for years, and he had the power to step in and change anything he didn't like, just like he does with this offense or philosophy. It's such a joke how you guys will throw out all rationality when it comes to McDermott. He is the big problem here. We will never win a championship with him here.

Who hired Dorsey, kept him, and keeps allowing that input? It's amazing what some of you guys do to skirt the responsibility from the guy who is responsible. You literally start out with that and then want him to be let off the hook for it. McD is the problem.

Sean is in way over his head. He's gotta go. He has created a huge mess of this season and he has no idea how to fix it. It's over.

I just don't understand the McD Apologetics here. It gets more baffling week after week. This team is a dumpster fire, that's where McD has led them. Everything is in decline. How are people not seeing this?

I agree in terms of performance...but there is a difference to me. It's not quantifiable so it's just an opinion...but he seems much more afraid to make a mistake now and he's lost his bravado and it doesn't feel like he's the same fun guy anymore on the field. There is something really wrong happening here and McD and Dorsey are completely clueless as to how to help fix it. And they've definitely hand in creating it.

It’s really been over since 13 seconds. The denial now is just wasting time.

It felt different though. The vibe of this team has changed dramatically. It’s way more tight, serious, flat, and they look like they’re just not having fun anymore. And there is obviously something wrong with this offense.

Yes, we were that far off. We had some fortunate stuff happen to even give us that chance. But either way, we were never going to get that big stop to get us the ball back even if we did score 7 there. And you know that.

Haha was “wrong cleats” a thing? I took a little break from football after last years playoff debacle and must have missed that.

Me too. For a while it felt like they were doing it much more often than they do now.

Ugh why? I'm going to this game. This is one of their worst combos.

I actually really enjoy cooking. A lot of guys do, as do a lot of women. I don't think you have to have traditional roles. Some people like yard work more than others. Sometimes you'll have partnerships where both people don't like to do either and you split them up. Couples can just figure out what works best for them.

Yeah, I'm not blaming anyone for posting this, this is supposed to be a place where anything goes. But really weird that someone is surprised that people might be disgusted by this instead of "entertained". I have no problem with humor and jokes if anyone wants to make them, but there is also a pretty dark side to this that people are going to have a visceral reaction to. Parents and the kids themselves trust these people on such a high level, and most of them are very good people that want to help...but it is really sick that any adult would take advantage of that kind of trust.

Haha the Elam comment BB made is a complete joke. Nobody said anything about an injury for most of the weeks he was an inactive.
