When is the last time they have made a huge stop at the end of the game to seal a win? Miami last week they let them down. This week again. Houston game to a certain degree. Always seems like they play their worst football in the final few possessions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the Bills a playoff team that McD "dismantled," or were they a team that "backed" into the playoffs and didn't deserve it. I'm confused.

I believe there is no doubt he gets another year, but a question for the supporters, is it the playoffs or do you geniuely believe he’s a good coach? He played today like Jauron would have and that is not the first time. I don’t think we would find many who think his game desicions are solid. And even if you think that having a defensive first coach is workable, is his lauded defense, his supposed strength really that good. Remarkably easy TDS to questionable offenses, in winnable games the last two weeks and several blow outs on his record. It should be at least called into question You completely blew your premise with your first sentence as, he did, indeed, get us into the playoffs last year. He did it with smoke and mirrors and a total loser of a quarterback. He’s got his own learning curve to be sure, however, on the balance of it, he has been a good coach and I expect him to get better. I also believe they’re making some good personnel decisions.So many posters cannot seem to hold their wad whether it’s about the coach or Josh. Give it time everyone, give it some time!

Ofc you're confused if you think McDermott is a good coach, you just need some more time I think. I mean, you will get it, at least 1.5 more seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott gets a continual pass for everything. Now logically if McDermott expresses confidence in Nate Peterman during a presser and Beane cuts him; do you think that Beane isn’t already lining up a list of Coaches for evaluation? This is a business just because McDermott brought in Beane; doesn’t mean that Beane isn’t worried about number one and losing his first gig.

Malarkey did that same thing last year... WON a road playoff game and then got fired immediately, because the Titans felt like they could do better at coach. I think based on what I’ve seen on game day we can too, and it’s vital we do with a young QB.. should we really wait and see if the switch flips? And to expound on Tennessee a bit.. Vrabel is a young, forward thinking, aggressive coach. The Titans sought that mindset and who wouldn’t? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 17 minutes ago, cgg716 said: Kicking the bomb with Hauscka hurt instead of going for it, just not smart. Running it twice to kick the FG in the 4th, with no RBs and a hurt kicker, although he made it, extremely conservative and not playing to your strengths at the time. Then to have the D get beat by Darnold.. they played NOT to lose.. regardless of talent, that’s troublesome I do think he's a very good leader of players and I like his approach in looking for certain player personalities and attributes beyond the athletics. But his in game coaching leaves a lot to be desired. This kick is classic. He's got a kicker who got smoked and was laying facedown and motionless at midfield at the half and who was shanked and shorted his last 44-yard warm up kick coming out of the half and who had to squib his first two kickoffs and he trots him out there for a 54 yarder in cold weather when the guy is probably as limber as a dead branch. This after last week, in a similar 4th down position, tried the much lower probability hail Mary instead of trying the 56 or so yarder with a healthy kicker in warm, windless south Florida. He's maddeningly bad at in game coaching and exhibits a lot of chicken-bleep attributes that will get him fired. Today he took the Lindy Ruff "We're up 1-0, let's hold on for 2 periods for the win" approach with conservative calls and letting Frazier, I assume at his direction or support, avoid blitzing a rookie QB just coming off an injury who left the first half for the locker room only to return clearly limping. He's frustratingly conservative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD haters give two options: Either McD dismantled a "playoff" team (which he was responsible for), or he didn't deserve to go to the playoffs and we got lucky. Which is it for you?
