He is seems like a great leader and has done an incredible job this year. He's one of the most successful coaches in NFL history in the regular season. At least from my perspective any issues I have with him are in the postseason. From what I can tell most people on here feel similar. They don't think we can get it done in the postseason with him for various reasons. I don't know how you could knock what he's been able to do in the regular season. Even if your opinion is Allen is pulling more weight most great coaches have great QB's as well.

I would imagine literally zero posters on this forum didn't trust him in the regular season. Lets celebrate the crow eating over a Super Bowl or hell, getting to one, or hell getting to a conference championship game. Not regular season success.

If you can't understand why some of us don't like what has evolved and can only summarize it as being a hater, I really don't know what to tell you. We have had a lot of success in this franchises history in similar ways to what we have now without having ever won a Super Bowl. On the front page alone we have tons of threads dedicated to Sean being discussed for coach of the year and talking about the Super Bowl. Focus your attention on those if you don't like opposing views.

Can somebody else have an opposing view than you and not be a hater, little kid, no life experience, irrational, bizarre, ignorant, and you expect to have this turn into an intelligent conversation? Wow. Sounds good.

The point isn’t that complicated. Jimmy G is playing against one of the best of all time in most that sample. You’re absolutely off your meds if you think McD is taking Jimmy G and Brock Purdy to the playoffs 7 of 8 seasons.

They’re beatable. Goff can look borderline incompetent at times. Can we pressure him? Will we be prepared to defend the run on 3rd and 6? Can we do all this and not over pursue as you know they will be screen heavy? Can we try and force some 3 and outs and not live in bend but don’t break? They have played a lot of cupcakes and they can really make those teams look bad, but really, just about any team worth a salt has taken them to the wire. This will be a 50/50 game. In fact, match up wise, the Eagles are even more physical. Even worse for us. Ultimately I also think they will represent the NFC and not the darling Lions.

Cute, like Lions coaching inside his 30

This is the first time since prior to 2020 a QB will finish with over a 65 QBR and not have a winning record (Burrow) these other QB’s you list aren’t even in this conversation. Roger’s missing the playoffs like once when he wasn’t 100 years ole? Lawerence is talked about on these forums as a bust. Herbert and Kyler Murray? 🤣. These guys aren’t MVP’s. Allen is what has given McD this consistency. Not enough Andy Daltons in the world to let Sean in the playoffs this much without A) an MVP that lets his defense front run and B)a very poor division.

I could actually see it, but McD’s ceiling is still the divisional round and Shannon’s would be Super Bowl all day

2018 they didn’t make the playoffs in the regular season match up. 2022 they went 3-4 before that game, then went on to win out until the Super bowl. 2024 they won’t be a playoff team. Two match ups when the don’t even make the playoffs and two with Jimmy G. But who cares about context. It just forces you to think. Not that any of that speaks to the false assumption that KC is the only team we can’t beat. They weren’t even a playoff team two of those years and two other a guy who isn’t even a starting NFL QB now was the starter for them.

And I’m pretty sure last years Ravens. They got significantly better without Roman. Probably last years Texans as well.

The only reason they have been to a Super Bowl and we haven't is they don't play Kansas City in the playoffs. So I've been told.

15-3 with Mahomes, 3 Super Bowls, 4 conference championships 11-13 without Mahomes, 1 conference championship QB means nothing as most say on here

Anybody who watched Howard at Kansas State knew the Buckeyes were not getting elite talent. He was largely protected in that system with a heavy dose of the run and he still was very turnover prone.

I noticed the Guardian Cap timing as well. He seems to be playing like he might play again tomorrow, which is good to see.

Didn't he call him his lil Daborino?

It's really not that simple. His biggest supporters want to make it that simple but the reality is the Colts and Bengals had offensive performances vs us in the playoffs that would have been among the best the entire season. Not playoffs, the entire season. Same goes for those Chiefs, again in the context of the whole year, the playoffs vs us was near the very best. That's not an opinion either, its all in the EPA of those performances. So is it just injuries and the Chiefs when it stretches multiple years, multiple teams? I don't think that's likely. I believe it's a schematic issue. As our ability to to perform worse in the playoffs in DVOA vs regular season is indeed a historic combination. What those defensive playoff performances coincide with is a lot of yards being given up on the ground. Which is fine in the regular season when you have a lead most of the year. Teams just keep throwing into our strength and most don't have very good QB's doing so. It's not as fine in the playoffs when QB's with 3rd and short will kill you and running games are capable of being methodical. Did the Baltimore game not take on the exact image I just described? We will see in the postseason. I think we are at much greater risk than people seem to think.

I noticed that. I was a bit surprised to be honest. I thought he had a lifetime pass with Terry. I still think he has a lot of time, but my takeaway from that statement was Super Bowls, not division titles.

Since 2020, 21 QB's have had a QBR of over 65 and 21 times that team has finished with a winning record. Including Josh Allen, every single season. Really sure its that much of a team game chief? Burrow will likely be the only exception to that this year, so I guess 21-1 is enough to form an opinion for some people 🤣

Try having an actual contender do it when you can’t play with a lead

182 yards to the Chiefs in 2021 172 yards to the Bengals in 2022 146 to the Chiefs in 2023 I didn’t include 2020 in that statement on our losses, but why not go for the gusto…. 2020 Colts 163 Ravens 150 Chiefs yes, my confirmation my bias 😂 113. So the run game isn’t an issue you say? You think this is all about KC? And your takeaway is to call out the 113 yards from 2020 and not acknowledge nearly every team we have faced in the postseason who has beat us has done so on a literal top 3 offense dive performance on the entire year! You really can’t make this stuff up.

They don’t tell you what the final score is based on rushing yards but we are 7-13 the last 3 years when we allow 140 or more yards rushing and 100% of our playoff losses are in that sample.

Colts had the 3rd best offensive game all season in EPA vs us in the playoffs in 2020. Chiefs had the best game all season. Chiefs had the 3rd best game in EPA all season the following year vs us in 2021. Bengals had the 3rd best game in EPA all season the following year vs us in 2022. Chiefs had the 6th best game in EPA last year vs us. I know people want to put his in a nice little package with the KC dynasty and injuries but it doesn’t fit. This was top 5 DVOA defense all these years and they got completely gutted by three separate teams in three separate years nearly as bad a those teams gutted anybody the entire season. These performances are coming along side season leading rushing outputs by those offenses and you expect that will change? That is playoff football. Running the ball. And what can’t we do effectively when we can’t front run a team? Play run defense. That is why this team can’t win in the playoffs. The system works when you’re playing with a lead. It doesn’t when it’s a neutral script or worse when it’s neutral against power.

I would argue that Pederson had a better singular coaching year than any year McD ever had. He won a Super Bowl with a back up quarterback throwing haymakers the entire way. Could Sean have done that? I would say absolutely not. No way in hell. Now could Pederson ever win in the ways Sean has? With that incredible consistency? No way. But the lifetime achievement award is not something I get to celebrate. Further and again sort of the heart of the issue, you see his constant attempts and failures as a sign it will happen soon, I see them as more evidence it won’t. When statistically unlikely things start occurring in football in some instances I expect it will correct, but others I just don’t believe we fully understand why it’s occurring and it just keeps doing so. That is what I believe we have going on.
