When you're cherry picking and removing 3 of his seasons and not talking about his postseason woes, sure. And a loaded roster can absolutely mask a head coach's shortcomings. You can only take that so far though as you've seen.

When it works out for us. Not in games like vs the Bucs and Giants though when we got away with PI's.

The proof is in the pudding on how untrue all of this has always been. Being good at game and time management is all about hard work and preparation. Same with being composed in big moments and at the end of games and your players understanding end of game situations. This guy still makes the same exact mistakes he did in his rookie head coach season from 6 years ago. He literally hasn't learned a thing. Our players are clueless and undisciplined in big moments in the game. Look at last night's Hail Mary. It's not like we've been burned before on those in McD's tenure. It shouldn't even take that because a good head coach prepares for situations that they haven't even been burned by. With 13 seconds, I found it absurd that people were giving him the excuse of that being a learning experience when any head coach at any level should know what to do there. I'm not sure anything would even change if we were in that situation again given what we've seen from these other scenarios. The scapegoating of other coaches has also been the mantra of McD's apologists. It was Frazier that was too soft and conservative with "his" defense...McD is the head coach. He has YEARS to change anything he didn't like about what was supposedly Frazier's defense or replace him or take over himself. The fact is it's HIS defense because it's HIS team. It's the same with the offense. We keep seeing these shotgun runs on goaline situations that are repeated disasters. Yes Dorsey is a big problem...but who is letting him be that? McD hears those playcalls and is on the line, he can interject anytime he wants to. He is NOT a helpless bystander. It's HIS team. If he can't handle all of that, then guess what, that means he can't handle all of the responsibilities of a Head Coach. The majority of coaches in this league could have won the last few years with the talent we've had. The good ones probably could have won a SB. We still have a guy that after all these years still craps his pants and takes these horrible defensive timeouts when the opposition's offense is scrambling to get the next play off as time is winding down to give them time to compose themselves. That happens because again he is completely unprepared for those moments in the game. Preparation takes discipline and hard work. I remember during this whole regime all of these propaganda articles about how disciplined, gritty, and hard working this guy is. What an absolute joke. A hard worker would show a significant amount of improvement as a coach throughout all of these years. I agree with people that Andy Reid didn't work hard to improve his time and game management skills either. But the comparisons to him are ridiculous too when Reid went to what, 4 NFC championships and a Superbowl in his first 6 years?? With a lesser QB. What are we even talking about here? I'm glad a growing number of people here are actually willing to see this right now rather than just blindly defending him like what's been going on for years here. When does the "he'll learn from this" excuse for the same mistakes over and over and over expire? In year 10? Year 20? I hope there's some kind of miracle and he somehow "gets it", but when he hasn't done a thing to put in the slightest bit of work to improve himself over the last 6 years, it's hard to believe it's going to happen mid-season. I hope the talent wins out enough for us to compete...but sadly we're not winning a SB with this guy now or ever.

I mean at least you’re admitting you aren’t looking at it in an objective way

This would be funnier if it wasn’t so sad and true. But still funny!

I agree they got really conservative, but coaching and play calling is part of the offense. The offense doesn’t exist as an entity outside of that, as much as a lot of us would like for it to. A good offense puts that game away on 1 of those 3 drives.

Obviously it's not going to happen midseason. There's really nobody to promote anyways. But barring some playoff heroics this should be it for him. We're going backwards.

I only kind of understand that though…because if you’re looking at the bigger picture…you surely see that he’s still making some of the same exact game management mistakes that he was 5 years ago right?

Sure, but then our last 3 drives just took the place of 1st quarter incompetence. A top offense on what’s supposed to be a SB contender has to kill the game on one of those drives. There’s still a lot wrong here.

It wasn’t that much better in the end, I think it just felt like that because they got off to a better start. They had 3 tremendous opportunities to kill the game in the 4th and came up empty on all of those drives. Make no mistake, this offense still has big problems.

So just a question…do the McD defenders watch a 4th quarter like tonight and think “wow, that was so expertly managed, what a phenomenal head coach we have!”?

Our guys had no idea where the ball was on that last play, we really could’ve lost

McD is beyond awful

WHY DOES HE DO THIS

Season on the line here

Seasons about to be over

OK NO FLAGS ON 4th

Are we really gonna blow this

Ok come on, 1 stop!!!

It just can’t be easy

Clappy is insufferable

An elite QB puts it away here, let’s go

McD loves to let the ball the other team hang around

Who would want to trade for Elam though? Is there a need for corners that can't cover?

Wait I just want to make sure I read this thing right...you are supportively retweeting a dude that's saying he thinks it's fine to be in favor of criminalizing gay sex??? That goes way beyond someone's personal Christian beliefs. I don't care if he wants to go into his own church and celebrate that he's not gay along with his other Christian friends...but criminalizing it for the country is beyond insane.
