Rock-A-Bye Beasley

It’s almost as if being there before has no bearing on the outcome of games.

Yeah they probably are. Should have signed or drafted a RG and RT though

Great play. Apparently there was a discussion by the ref as to whether they would call a penalty on Brown for the second contact of Van Noy. Glad they left it alone.

Punting? Shanahan really knows how to blow a lead

I agree with most of this. McDermott was still coaching scared in the Tampa game though. He repeatedly punted or kicked fgs on 4th and short. The actual worst takes are those who blamed Daboll all season because they didn’t want to admit the head coach had any faults.

Let’s just say I not only want the Madden ratings ppl to correct their mistake of lowering Josh from 89 to 86 over the course of the season, but a public apology is in order.

Who gets the ball in the 3rd?

That whistle came as he was catching the ball. It didn’t make a difference to how the defense was playing.

McDermott is clearly a good coach. I think the frustration with him is that he could be a great coach. Even more frustrating is that the things he needs to improve to become a great coach are easy and obvious. He has the hard parts of being a great coach down: motivating and teaching players, xs and os, hiring competent people to surround himself with. Some of his in-game decisions are so bad it's impossible to defend. Wasting timeouts left and right including the one where he called a timeout to decide if he should challenge. All the 4th downs in the Tampa game were botched. Punting late in OT in the snow game when a tie would have knocked us out of the playoffs, called a timeout erasing Josh's 4th and 1 conversion today, etc etc. All of these things are incredibly stupid, but can be corrected. It reminds me of the term 'you can't teach speed' You can teach an otherwise good coach that it's smart to go for certain 4th downs but it's much harder to make someone who already knows that into a great coach. It seems like he has to be forced to be aggressive, last year before the AFCCG he seemed to have improved, but regressed in that game and has carried over to this season with the exception of a few games. Another frustrating aspect is that he seems to be more aggressive against bad teams, and more conservative against good teams. Most fans think it should be the other way around especially if the other teams strength is offense.

Well they get to celebrate lol

Why does it affect you at all?

Ok

Yep that’s what everyone is saying. Great contribution. Bitching about bitching

If we win we play the chargers or pats. If we lose it’s patriots or raiders.

Exactly, his teams are successful and his defenses have been great. However, there’s no doubt he repeatedly makes the wrong decision in key situations.

Yes, I was about to say this. Taking receipts of anyone who disagrees.

Allen: “we should just go for it” McDermott: “Josh, you know how much I love field goals, are you serious right now?”

Hate McDermott

Wish we had maybe one timeout

We did get that one first down but McDermott called a timeout milliseconds before Allen snuck it in. What more evidence do fans need that he’s the one holding the offense back and not Daboll?

I blame his boss. The guy who hired him

McDermott

McDermott got scared?

Big fan. People lose their minds about his “I’m inoculated” comment. One guy in my fantasy football league was defending Henry Ruggs one week and the next week said “Rodgers gets away with anything”
