Barry Switzer won a SB too.

A W is a W is a W. There are no style points in football.

I understand. But what does it have to do with Josh fumbling? Sounds like a lame excuse to me.

Has anyone ever won anything embracing Analytics to make all their decisions? I am not a fan of this approach and prefer to take the points. Analytics is based on historical data from all the teams. So it takes into account Tom Brady doing sneaks successfully many times. Teams that aren't good at sneaks will do it less. Seems that would skew the successful percentage up. Also the defense you are playing that day and how their playing and the score are more important things to consider than what other teams have done in the past with different players, weather, etc. Monday Night The Commanders won a game with 4 FGs 2TDs. I remember once the Cowboys beat the Packers 21-0 on 7 FGs. You don't have to score 40 points to win most games. I also wonder if you do everything by the analytics sheet, will you be Telegraph ing your decisions to the other side? They got the same sheet. Unless its a game on the line situation, 4th down is for kicking IMHO.

Why does that matter?

Whatever. Take the points.

This a bad comparison. Marv Lewis was 0-4 in playoff games. Coach McDermott is 3-4 so far.

I think he knows what to do with RBs. In 2017 we were second in the NFL rushing. Did he forget? My theory on the run game is its not that we can't run the hall, we choose not to. 13 RB carries on Sunday with a sore arm QB throwing 45 passes and running himself 5 times says it all IMHO.

Actually 2-3 this year. Why do last years losses matter so much for this year? Why go back and add the other 7? 2-3 ain't great but it's definitely better than the previous 7.

Its amazing to me that a "McDonald's quality coach" can notch a 55-35 record, 58-39 counting playoffs with a team that had missed the playoffs for 17 straight years when he took over. How does that work exactly? And don't tell me its cuz of Josh Allen cuz McDermott got us to the playoffs without him. And we have won 2 1 possession games this year. Chiefs and Ravens. Not too shabby couple of teams. We need to improve that obviously but it definitely shows we still can.

Can you name a bad coaching decision McDermott has made in a bigger than 1 possesion won?

It is for me and you and a lot of fans I talked to. But is it really for NFL DBs? I see 4th down interceptions semi-regularly. The guy that got the first interception caught it on 4th down too. Not sure why that is. Maybe they're afraid it will bounce to someone else? A tip drill catch?

At first II thought this sounded like a great idea. But how would it work? After the goal line stand On 1st down the clock is stopped. And after a penalty the clock stops.

Well, the Vikings did have a .1% chance of winning. These win percentage things are dumb IMHO. But they're always right. If one team with a 75% chance of winning wins then yeah there was 75% they would. If they lose, well, there was a 25% chance they wouldn't. I often watch losses for this very reason. Often they look a little different than they did in the heat of the moment. I have even watched the Music City Forward Lateral game a few times but I turn it off after the Bills kick that last FG.

It absolutely was which is why he was sliding earlier in the game on runs.

Ought Oh. Looks like the Tredavian Nightmare is getting the Jarius Byrd treatment.

It was the throw. Just like it was the throw in the other pick and the throw when he missed Diggs in the EZ and others. His accuracy was off due to his sore arm I suspect. He made a lot of good throws but a lot more bad ones than usual. I have not heard anyone mention this and maybe I'm wrong, but it looked to me his throwing motion was even different than usual.

Tom Landry couldn't win the big one until he did in his 12th season. And again in his 18th season. 20 straight winning seasons.

No it doesn't. Even if we lose we'd be 6-4 with 7 games to play. And we play the Jets and Fish again who are ahead of us.

Of course we deserved to lose. You always do when you score less points than the opponent. There are no style points in football.

Well played. Hail to the @Gugny I thought maybe it was Aaron for when he told the coach to f**k off and walked away to the bench Sunday.

I was in the stands when this happened on Sunday. I was flabbergasted. There are 8 3/4 games to go. Nobody wins MVP in the 2nd quarter of game 9. Give me a break. Not to mention he was trying to run guys over with his injured arm.

You left out 2017 when we were 5-2 in 1 score games. Amazes me we were 3-3 in the horrid 2018 season. We were good at this 2017 - 2020. In fact its what turned us from a 7-9 year after year to a playoff team. Not sure what happened. I think maybe we have been figured out. But I think McDermott will figure it out. He's a smart coach. We seem to go through a rough patch midway through the season only to right the ship and make the playoffs and actually win playoff games the last 2 years. Trust the Process

No. I addressed that 4 posts up from the bottom of page 1. But it had the same result. Josh flubs up and doesn't get it. "The Slip" vs Tennessee and "The Fumble" yesterday. Aside from the 2 handed push to Josh's backside they were thge same. Everyone bunched in on offense and defense and we telegraphed the play. Something to think about? Good point. Would it also be OK for a team to let their QB play without a helmet? Maybe you right and it's not dangerous. Not sure but I think it is.

OK. Maybe no shove. But do we really want to call a two handed push to Josh's backside a "shove"? I have 2 problems with this play: 1. Its an injury waiting to happen with 300 pound guys shove into each other with the QB in between. in our case, The (playing injured) Franchise. 2. If you're gonna run that play then run it. Line up someone or 2 or maybe even 3 big guys one step behind Josh and stove like hell like the Eagles do. No need for motion and all that. Don't have a WR two handed shoving the QBs backside. As far as has it ever been stopped, not sure. Has it ever worked inside your own 1 yard line? If the NFL wants to have this rule, then don't tell me how much you care about " player safety".
