Steptide Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I love this. This is a true family right here. Lots of credit to McDermott and Frazier for not making drama out of the defense thing 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Play calling is important but I’m positive Frazier did a ton this week that contributed to the performance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 McDermott is a leader. Every time you think this thing might come apart he stays the course, doesn't panic and leads from the front. I think Frazier had just got a bit passive in his play calling. Sean doing it last week in the 2nd half was probably one of those "let's get back to who we are" moments and he picked it up and ran with it today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What's another post and view of this? All good. McD showed true class and leadership. Frazier is a former HC but you could see his pride and joy in that moment. I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Very impressive by McD. Frazier did a great job calling plays, and glad he was so publicly acclaimed in the locker room. McD will have all season to recognize some of the top players from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a route to 4-4 through 8 games and then...... Realistically I think 2-6 or 3-5 is more likely. But my word hard not to feel good tonight. That was a proper Bills team again.

They looked a lot more aggressive with the playcalling on the defensive side of the ball this game. I wonder if the conversation McD had with him was basically "look, just do your thing, don't be scared about it. call what you think is right, don't be afraid to make a mistake on it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. This is much more how we called D for the first half of last season. After the back to back defeats against the Jets and Saints we did get a bit vanilla and passive the rest of the way but it worked for us and we made the playoffs. However, who we are is much more this style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I may not be on Beane but I love Coach. Beane needs to stop stripping the roster and start giving McDermott some talent to work with. Maybe Beane is the 'villian' who had to do the strip down that was 10 years past due, but he needs to find a gem or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game and a half was hard to watch. I'm with you there. Our blocking wasn't great, but it was lightyears better than the first game and a half. Houson's D is a huge mess, so that game is a tossup to me, since they are so talented they could turn it around at any time. Titan's offense looks awful. Their D isn't terrible, but we might be looking at Blaine Gabbert at QB instead of Mariota, that would be AWESOME. Indy is pretty much where we are in terms of consistency/talent I believe, so that could be a really good game. I'm going to pencil in GB as a loss, even after the big game this week, as Rodgers is REALLY good at home, like the best home QB in league history. I don't foresee us forcing 4+ turnovers against him, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even through the Peterman fiasco and a game and a half of awfulness I never wavered on McDermott. The guy can coach. Beane I remain in wait and see mode.

Jags just lost at home to a weak Titans team, Giants O line all of a sudden handled JJ watt easily, Cardinals had 6 points in two games and they are whoopin the bears, redskins looked horrible then they go out and crush gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
