Yobogoya!

Picking up Douglas was such a coup.

The only person who disagreed with that got fired this week.

Lol Gardner confused about being called for bear hugging the receiver for 3 seconds

I dunno I think he’s got another four snaps in him. 😏

I like the field goal there. We need to win this game, no matter how boring it looks while doing it.

Oh yeah I think the offense still deserves all the criticism in the world for its lack of production. I think what I was trying to convey is that if our defense was playing LIGHTS OUT, I'd be 99% for keeping McD and trying to bring in a proven, experienced OC next year. I mean, why roll the dice on both sides of the ball if you don't have to, right? But if McD's side of the ball is struggling AND he has no answers to fix the offense too? Then it becomes a lot harder for him to justify keeping his job. Cuz what is he truly bringing to the table? Culture? I mean his situational playcalling and challenge record speak for themselves, lol.

It doesn't help that his side of the ball seems to let us down time and again in big moments. If they were routinely stifling poor QB's and closing out games, I do think McD's seat temp would be a bit cooler, among both the fanbase and media. Contrast his situation to Saleh's, who's team has similarly invested high in the defense but who is winning games with a vastly inferior QB. Of course, if the Jets lose Q, Sauce and CJ Moseley in weeks 3-4...

I do think we need to run this offense through Kincaid and Diggs, the way the KC offense ran through Tyreek and Kelce for all those years. Don't make defenses game plan to stop just one of them. Make defenses game plan to stop BOTH OF THEM. If one gets shut down, feed the other. If they adjust to stopping that guy, go back. If neither is working, the run game is probably wide open. THEN YOU FEED COOK. We should have a mindset of attacking defenses wherever they're weakest, and then feature that player UNTIL THEY STOP IT.

We can't actually be swept by Zach Wilson this season can we? I mean... we can't possibly get swept by a team led by this guy... Can we? 🥺🥺

So... the Process is a pyramid scheme now?

Yeah. I mean on the one hand I feel like McD is at least something of a player's coach - he has historically opted not to practice in the elements ahead of a game with inclement weather, he practices almost extreme caution when it comes to guys coming back from injury, and then obviously the Damar situation from last year kind of speaks for itself. I don't think he's quite as despised as people on here assume. But on the other hand, I think he's a bit "stifling" for sure. Look at the Diggs situation, for example. He wants guys to keep their trap shut to the media, keep EVERYTHING in house. Does that stop the drama from becoming a circus, or just make it worse? I don't know. But some of these guys, Allen and Diggs included, seem like they're ready to burst a gasket, lol. You can preach the team first process. You can take a my-way-or-the-highway attitude. Belichick and the Pats did it for years and players put up with it -- but that's cause they were always competing for a championship. And many times, they won. That buys a lot more tolerance from players. If the "process" doesn't pan out, that angst will definitely turn to resentment. That might be where we're at now...

Yeah there's a lot of ways to look at those points you made. Obviously Philly thought Reid would never get them over the hump - in a sense, they were right. But also, Reid's won two championships since then and has over the course of his career got considerable production from QB's like McNabb and also Alex Smith. Guys who are probably mid or high-level journeymen in any other offensive scheme. The big problem with McDermott is it's hard to justify his value, especially in the context of having an elite QB. He's a solid defensive coordinator, and in some ways he and Frazier innovated the modern "big nickel" defense that's all the rage right now. But his situational decision-making, the level of preparedness we see on a week to week basis? It's not great. As a guy who can't coordinate the offensive side of the ball, he has to prove he's among the Harbaugh's and Belichick's of the world when it comes to getting this team's overall execution at a high level. If he can't do that, what's the difference between him and the next hot up-and-coming OC? That's where we're at, at this point.

Yeah that's the mob mentality that we humans love so much at work there. Not that I wasn't for moving on from Dorsey, but as you say, was this the right time? For me, I'd have either done it before Cinci (10 days prep) or just waited for the bye week. But whatevs. 🤷‍♂️

I get the sentiment here and certainly there's a lot to criticize when it comes to McD, but I don't get the fans asking to see "accountability" as if the man is supposed to... what? Is he supposed to fire himself? Just because a HC isn't immediately let go doesn't mean he's not being held accountable. I think sports fans are too quick to think of a coach being fired as the only acceptable response when a coach f's up. But just for some perspective, Andy Reid had some brutal playoff losses in Kansas City before Mahomes came along (to say nothing of his consecutive NFC championship game losses in Philly). Now he's paired with an elite QB and is leading the new NFL dynasty. The majority opinion after KC's 2015 divisional loss to the Patriots was "same old Andy Reid chokes in the postseason, he'll never win it all." If he was "held accountable" after that game and fired, is KC where they're at right now? I think Terry is in a tough position. McDermott and Beane have given Buffalo sports the most consistent success we've seen in over twenty years. Now I firmly believe Josh Allen deserve the bulk of the credit for that, but if we're holding McDermott responsible for the brutal losses, we also have to give him some credit for the success as well. Just trying to play some devil's advocate.

Mostly a bunch of knucklehead nobodies who routinely try and fumble games away. Personally, I hope he keeps them all long after Kelce retires 😏

A curse within a curse? Curse-inception???

Maybe Jauron was right all along. 😅

I thought it was the @Araiza Curse??

That you, McD??

Yeah you'd think he'd at least utilize the bye week for this change, so Brady could tweak and refine the offense at least a bit. Giving him a short week to prepare for that Jets D?? The timing definitely looks like McD is just trying to deflect from last night's performance. Hey, maybe the change invigorates the team for this matchup, but... well, I won't get my hopes up.

Are you saying Clark W. Griswold wasn't a wildly successful vacation planner? You take that back!

He's like a guy who plans out every detail of the family vacation but blames everyone else when it doesn't work out like he planned. He's the Clark W. Griswold of head coaches. 😂

Was that the wheels coming off or was that just another day at the office? Or is it that much worse that nothing about last night surprised me? 😂
