McDermott’s Defense against #1 Offense? Discuss
FireChans replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Eagles have gotten their doors blown off by double digits to two of their rivals, and then lost to the Seahawks backup QB. Have they been consistent? Are they being properly prepared? -
They aren’t his girlfriends. They aren’t his longtime partners. They aren’t his wives. They are his baby’s momma’s. What tasteful term do you want them to be called? His one-night stands?

Nah, 2020 was better. The problem is that when Josh had a pretty good unit, he went up against Patty who had 2 HoFers.
-
Imo. that the drop off in KC offense is more a problem of their RB’s than their WR’s comparing this year and last. Along with an aging Kelce.
-
The Chiefs last year also had an absolute weapon in Jerrick McKinnon who is not nearly as good this year. Last year, they had a much better RB room than us. This year, ours is actually better.
-
It’s actually insane to me. I was advocating for the Steelers model of day 2 picks every other year for WR’s for a stable rotation of cheap, decent pass catchers with upside probably 3 years ago. Even if they took one in the first round every 2-3 years, that would be fine. Instead, they’ve done neither. That has been the biggest flaw of this regime in the Josh Allen era BY FAR.

I don't think either of those teams have as good of WR's as Diggs tbh
-
Really good group is a stretch, imo. More importantly, I think it should be better, particularly from the WR room. Did not agree with the narrative that Josh was dragging bums to the playoff like Brady did for a couple years. That makes the Bills top 7? Top 10 is usually my cut off for "good." I also disagree on Chargers. Ekeler is cooked. Allen is 1 thousand years old but still a star. Their first round WR is horrific.
-
No shade against Purdy, bc I do believe he is executing the Shanny scheme at a high level. But the Shanny scheme is notorious for being paint by numbers. The honest question about Brock is if every QB was an FA tomorrow, where would Purdy rank contractually? He'd probably be floating around the top 10, which generally is the "good but not elite" QBs.

Eagles just lost to a Seahawks team with their backup QB, after getting their doors blown off two weeks in a row by the other two top NFC teams. Man, only McD's Bills lose bad games. It's crazy. -

That doesn’t mean they don’t happen, sting or no sting. Like I said, myopic critique. -

That was to give you some much-needed perspective. “no one loses head scratcher games like McD’s Bills.” ”well, here’s all the Chiefs weird losses too” ”YOU DARE COMPARE THESE TWO TEAMS!” lol -

Okay. Let's compare it to.... the Chiefs 2019: Head-shaking stinker to the Colts, lost 13-19 with Jacoby Brissett 2020: Let the Raiders drop 40 points on them, and in the biggest game of the season, got blown out by the Bucs 31-9. 2021: Started out the season 3-4, including an 18 point loss to the Bills and 27-3 loss to the Titans. Second half chokefest to the Bengals in the playoffs. 2022: Inexplicable loss to the Colts, again, loss to the Bills, loss to the Bengals. You keep saying "no one loses like the McDermott Bills" and it continues to be the most myopic view in the NFL. This is arguably the second best team IN THE LEAGUE since 2020. Total nonsense. -
keep doing if they reward it. Just win. You can be embarrassed at the parade.

Yep. Every team has a random sleep walking inexplicable loss, except for the 1972 Dolphins. It's the NFL. Always has been. Follow up question, what current coach didn't have head-shaking stinker in the NFL? This team lost 3 games in the regular season last year. This is legitimate myopic, insane critique. -
Hot take: Everyone says McD has been "more aggressive" when, in reality, he was blitzing at a MUCH higher rate earlier in the year, to mixed results (looking at Pats game and Denver game in particular). I think moreso, McD has had a much better feel for when to simulate pressure and when to actually bring it, and what we are seeing is a lower true blitz rate, but a much better defensive result overall. And that's been pretty consistent since the bye.

I’m not sure the data bears that out. What we do know is this team almost never has games like Dallas did yesterday. Do you know what team has the least amount of double digit losses?
