This is Homer level 10,000.

Well deserved

they have… Several times since then. I especially remember in 2020 (or 2021?) because McD was asked and he responded by saying that he’s not going to answer those type of questions anymore. Probably because of the flack he got when he answered honestly in 2018. I do love how your go-to proof was “the pressure doesn’t ask me about it” though, lol.

He’s my favorite poster on this forum but he truly does not appear to understand the difference between “evidence” and “proof”. Which is funny because his only evidence isn’t proof either :).

I don’t need to watch every other NFL coach to know what’s normal for McDermott. McDermott spends most of the season with his hands on his hips or clapping. He rarely ever has a play sheet in his hand. When he does, it is RARE. Unusual. Strange. Not normal. What another coach does is irrelevant to what is unusual for McDermott. It is even more unusual for McDermott to have that play sheet up around his mouth, as he presumably calls plays. Circumstantial evidence is evidence.

No more flawed than “McDermott only admitted it once and therefore it must be once”. Except the majority of the time, he is NOT looking at it. Or putting it over his mouth to talk into the headset. That’s why it’s so odd when he DOES do that. It’s a big difference from his normal. It’s obvious. The camera goes to him. Fans key in on it, because it’s abnormal for him. You seem to be confusing “evidence” with “absolute proof”. Evidence is just anything that can be used to point to a hypothesis. Entire cases have been won and lost based on circumstantial evidence, which is evidence that simply shows other facts (like McDermott rarely holding the play sheet over his mouth and talking) but does not in itself prove the hypothesis.

So yes, the only evidence you’ll accept is McDermott admitting. Which will never happen again after the media flack he got for doing it the first time.

They’ve asked him more than once lol. Your Argument: “trust me bro” No, I don’t trust you. I trust my eyes. Which has a better view of McD on TV than you have at the stadium. 90% of the season, there is no play sheet in his hands with him covering his mouth and talking. But at certain times, there are. And it’s clear as day he is calling the plays.

It’s been clear several times. You not seeing it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. In several games, McD has the defense play sheet in his hand and is talking into his head set at pivotal moments of the game. Likely talking to Frazier who then calls the play into the team, ala Reid and Bienemy. 90% of the time, McD does not have the play sheet out, nor is he talking into the headset with the play sheet over his mouth. So it’s pretty noticeable when he does do it. But McD realized that after the San Diego game, when he got a lot of flack from the media (including Tony Dungy), for taking over the play calling, he was never going to admit it again. Which gives you plausible deniability. But no. McD absolutely called plays several times. Whether you and Gunner want to admit or not.

If the only evidence you will accept is McDermott admitting it, then yes there is only evidence of 1 game.

There is some evidence cd he did it more than once. But it’s true that he only admitted it once.

Leaders go to involuntaries.

Oh you bought the story that Frazier is just taking a year off?

This is the pivotal make or break moment of his career. For many coaches, firing their coordinator and taking over play-calling is the last ditch effort before they are let go.

Doesn't surprise me. Kelsay wasn't a sack machine. His job was creating pressure and pushing QB's into Schobel's arms. His point is that 1 player can be a massive outlier and you can't judge a GM based on 1 player. No other GM got as lucky as Beane got with 1 player. Yes, he gets credit for it, but we need to look at what else has done and one way to do that is to temporarily remove the outlier.

No it was the laughing emoji's on Twitter from the Boston media.

Sullivan said that in his exit interview (firing) that they (Buffalo News) mentioned to him that they had received pressure from PSE to oust him. I think he also said he was pressured by PSE to write less negative articles too. It really is awful, isn't it? I will never forget the Boston media laughing at our media over the soft lob questions. It was genuinely sad and made me feel a bit insecure about our hometown media and organization.

Based on the renderings, Tottenham blows our new stadium out of the water.

The 02 draft was not awful at all. It was average to above average. Denney, Reed, Wire and Williams.

Sounds like Beane.

In 2003 he took McGee, Kelsey, McGahee and Crowell. That was also a solid draft.

This should get the homers riled up

The Bengals will be more like 65% offense and 35% defense once Burrow and Chase get paid. Chiefs also just unloaded Tyreek and his huge contract last year. I’m assuming they were over 60% with Hill. The Bills 47% is well behind.

Florio is a Vikings fan. Not a Patriots fan. He’s also one of the best reporters in sports. He rarely if ever pretends to know inside knowledge. He just gives his opinion.

On defense… Bingo. This was Florio’s point. It seems to have flown over several people’s heads.
