I saw a tweet today that really resonated with how I feel about McDermott. It said: McDermott is the type of coach that can take a bottom 5 roster to a wildcard but he’s also the kind of coach who will take a top 5 roster to the wildcard.

There are a lot of execution issues, which fall on the shoulders of the players, but there are also plenty of coaching issues as well. How does the announcer see the poor slant leverage by Taron Johnson the previous play, but our coaches don’t? Belichick and Co saw it, and immediately took advantage of it. I will always credit McDermott for turning this franchise around. But there are so many deficiencies that show up on coaching.

I think it affected him but I don’t think it’s why we lost. We scored 25 points against one of the greatest defensive minds to ever love. And we allowed 24 points to potentially the worst offense in the NFL.

The announcer called it the previous play. That the slant was open. The coaching staff couldn’t see it?

Johnson is being picked on two games in a row with the game on the line.

Enough is enough. We need Kincaid on key plays. Remove Knox from the equation. It sucks because Knox is the better blocker right now which limits our flexibility on 4th and short but we simply can’t trust Knox to catch the ball, which also limits our flexibility.

I’ve never liked this excuse. Of course the defense is going to play defense! Its not an excuse to not catch the ball.

The Knox contract was awful. He is not reliable. DONE with him. Kincaid catches that 100 times out of 100.

100% done with Knox. Done

Considering the opponent, the defense is more disappointing than the offense.

The offense is averaging 3.7 points per quarter over the past 2.5 games.

Eh, there were 5 rushers and 3 guys hit Josh. Definitively a breakdown in blocking.

Not sure if you noticed but the line is getting smoked.

Daboll had a few clunkers for sure, but I don’t recall the offense ever looking this consistently bad. Its everything. Execution, penalties, play-calling (at times). Just bad overall.

I have no idea what Beane saw in Hardy.

I saw it. Murray collided with the CB.

I hope Cook does that more often. He has the speed to bounce it out even more often than he does.

That pass was wobbling. Was it tipped? Or just come out of his hand weird?

Bingo.

You may be tired of hearing it from others, but as for myself, I never said anything about the NFL paying for player grades. I specifically noted that NFL teams pay for PFF’s “data”. I think you perhaps got confused by the words “how PFF grades”. Meaning, how they map each play - everything from formation, to splits, to man/zone schemes, etc. Perhaps I should I have used a different word, though I thought my clarifying second sentence made it clear.

Much more recent than 50 years ago actually. In 2000 there was the Camp David Summit where Israel offered to relinquish 90% of the West Bank and all of Gaza. They also offered sovereignty of the dome of the rock, and agreed to establish Palestine as an official state, fully governed by Palestinians. Palestinians rejected it. As you mentioned, after that summit, Israel came away with the belief that Palestine will simply never be okay with Israel existing.

Prior to Collinsworth, only a few teams bought the data. A year after Collinsworth took over, 30 of 32 teams bought it. Now, all 32 do. While I do not trust the data blindly, I do believe it is fairly accurate. "(PFF) has hired former NFL figures, including longtime assistant coach Gunther Cunningham, former Redskins lineman Will Montgomery, and former Redskins assistant Bobby Slowik, who since has returned to coaching. Analyses are checked and cross-checked and re-checked; Collinsworth said he has seen single plays debated for 15 minutes, and that “if there’s any ambiguity at all” on a particular play, analysts are told not to downgrade a player. Longtime Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander last season reviewed about 600 plays where PFF had downgraded one of his blockers; he told company founder Neil Hornsby that he disagreed with perhaps 12, “which is pretty remarkable,” Alexander said."

Agreed. There is a reason why Chris Collinsworth is so invested in PFF. He saw the market opportunity for teams that need fast turnaround and took it. There is only so much film that 12 coaches can dig through in 72 hours.

That's right. It was renamed Palaestina by Emperor Hadrian to ethnically cleanse Jewish identity from the territory.

Sure. But in that case I certainly wouldn't be making the argument that Native Americans were colonizing "our" land. That would sound a bit tone-deaf... no? That is part of the reason Lebanon doesnt like Israel.
