He also has a boatload of goodwill and power around OBD after turning a loser of a franchise into a top team. You can hope all you want but the reality is - he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. One bad season, isn’t going to change that Never said can him but it just offers questions that are fair. You only get so many cracks as a team and a coach, if guys start buying out that is not a good sign for his future and this ownership has never had a problem firing people.

Steptide Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I don't know why they never run no huddle when they're pinned against the wall. The pats with Brady did this all the time and would kill teams with it. Daboll seems to have a game plan, then make adjustments, but then sticks way too much to his guns. If your in game adjustments are still not working, try somethjng else Edited November 8, 2021 by Steptide 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 2021 cocky bills will prevail Problem is a team should not NEED a loss to wake them up. These guys play a damn sport for a living and get paid handsomely to do so. The "wake-up call" is such crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichRiderBills Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Our team really misses the gadget McKenzie roll on jet sweeps or slot razzle dazzle. We are no t even running some of the RPO stuff w him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sticks too long with a game plan that isnt working and then tries an emergency adlib a little too late. I know that McD trusts him with the game plan but at some point He has to intervene EARLIER and have an emergency plan. Yesterday despite how terrible they were , they had at least 3 chances on offense to pull it out of the fire but they didnt do anything different and experienced the same pathetic results!

Of course, if they play every week like yesterday he won’t last long. You could say the same thing any time a team gets blow out. Pretty sure that won’t happen though. To use a one game sample size as an indication to McDermott’s future seems pretty futile. Then again, that’s the whole theme of this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I've consistently questioned if McD was the guy to win it all. More on this board are starting to question him too. I think he has improved his game day decision making during his tenure. I think he had become more aggressive. I just continue to question the roster makeup and the player evaluation. He overemphasizes special teams to the detriment of the rest of the roster. What is he and others seeing in practice that they beleive Ford can play o-line at any position? He has been brutal. Gilliam, Doyle, and Sweeney are awful. Yet they are getting more opportunities than McKenzie and Davis. Is Taiwan Jones really such an elite gunner that they can't dress a guy with actual speed. There must be 5 other guys that can do what Jones does on game day. Not getting your team ready to play is on the head coach. How many patsies did Belichick beat repeatedly. Has it ever been said his team wasn't ready to compete. If the culture he has built doesn't produce self accountability among the players, then the culture is worthless. As the OP said, the next several games will really test McDermott and his ability to lead through adversity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 That game sucked going into- anything short of a complete blowout was going to be disappointing... and if we blew them out it was going to be a crappy football game to watch. Decided to take a look at a Jags board, and this gem from a longtime poster at least helped a bit- "Aside from Hyde’s fumble and the missed kicks, was a refreshing and exciting game to watch." 9 fricken points... so glad we're not there anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
