I.E., do MORE during the regular season and lock up home field advantage. We easily could and should have done that this year, and failed to do it with mediocre play. The season was lost there, not in Arrowhead. Season was lost in Jax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of stuff the Pegulas truly need to consider if McDermott doesn't deliver next year. They lost the game because the O-line was a mess. What was McDermott supposed to do, play OG himself ? If your mind is blown when a team loses a game with an O-line in shambles, maybe you need to understand the game better.

AlfaBill Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 2 hours ago, ArtVandalay said: So because you used to be bad, you lower your expectations and allow egregious incompetence that costs you success? That's such a loser mentality. Our standards with Allen are Chamionship caliber, not "don't suck". There's a huge difference between building culture and competitiveness and being a high level game day coach with the caliber needed to win a Chamionship. This was not the first playoff mis-step either, it's the 3rd consecutive year, the Texans debacle inthe 2nd half was horrible, the Chiefs have last year horrible planning letting Hill and Kelce run free, too conservative, and zero adjustments... but the difference this year is we were the better team and we would have been Super Bowl favorites and were held back by our coaching staff, again, from reaching our full potential. We had the game won and he found away to squander it away, he's the main reason we were 0-6 in 1 score games. McDermott also has one of the worst of not the worst track record of challenges in the entire league, 6 for 23 in his 5 years, absolutely horrific. Reid was 4-0 in just this season alone lol. Just speaks to how bad he is from a cerebral standpoint on the sideline. Screaming and clapping doesn't win Chamionships. This staff has been really good. They say that even though we have a good TE we’re looking to always upgrade every position. If should be the same with the coaching staff. Not saying we should get rid of anyone BUT we should NOT settle for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilthyBeast Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 3 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said: Exactly. Our entire season could've been different if we only rout a team we should've annihilated. We would've had KC at home. And even KC players admitted playing the Bills at home would have been a struggle. Losing to Jacksonville is like that missed extra point that you just know will bite you in the ass down the road. When the dust finally settles and true post mortem on the 2021 season is complete, this team can look back at the Steelers and Jaguars games as the reasons their season ended in the divisional round. Win both those games and you are the #1 seed and even the head to head loss against the Titans doesn't stop that. And there is simply no excuse this team should have lost those games. TB/NE/TEN....Should have been no worse than 1-2 in those games as well. The Colts was the only true outlier on the season and still think that was just one of those days against a team that played their SB in hindsight against the team who beat them in the playoffs the prior season.

ArtVandalay Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 22 hours ago, Shaw66 said: This is a load of crap. Egregious incompetence? McDermott is recognized around the league as an excellent coach. The fact that someone missed a detail, telling Bass to squib kick, is so far from "egregious incompetence," it's absurd. It was just a mistake. A "huge" difference between building culture and competitiveness and being a championship coach? Nonsense. The difference isn't "huge," and it is in fact a culture of competitiveness that makes coaches and players become champions. And you point to Andy Reid as some kind of paragon. Reid lost just as many playoff games in his first five seasons as McDermott has. Belichick was under .500 in his first five seasons and went to the playoffs only once. Grow up and find a better way to deal with your disappointment. It's not crap or nonsense, and delivering well deserved direct criticism isn't an excuse of disappointment, it's well deserved. He shouldn't be held on a pedestal above criticism because the team had a drought prior to him, or just because he's the coach of your favorite team -- that's crap. There is a massive difference between building a team culture and making game day decisions with a high end team, two completely different situations requiring different skill sets. McDermott's challenge history is the worst in the NFL, not joking, his career success rate was dead last in the league in 2020 and has not improved. He's successfully won 6 challenges in 5 seasons out of 23 attempts... now this isn't meant to be an end ask be all but rather a quantified illustration of how poor his game day decisions are. 0-6 in one possession games, winless due to his poor decisions. And I'm not saying we should have won every game, good teams are going to have close losses but not winning a single game? His blunders and awful calls are the reason it's 0-6 instead of 1-5 or 3-3. We didn't squib, yes bad call, but whatever forget about that. The egregious incompetence is the defense that was called after two time outs, playing his 2 best defenders so deep they were not involved in the play and rushing 4 when Mahomes couldn't hold the ball, and giving every receiver a clean release with a 15 yard cushion, was just grossly negligent. It took special stupidity to squander that game. And this isn't even Monday morning quarterbacking, this was so egregious every fan, the commentators, everyone was calling it out stunned and scratching their heads as it happened. You could have pulled a fan out of the seats to coach the final 13 seconds and we win. He's got 21 years NFL coaching experience, 5 as head coach, 47 years old, and he's getting worse on game day not better, he's not going to ever "get it". He's never won a thing in his life at any point in his coaching career, 0 super bowls, and it will continue to be that way. There's zero reason to hold him up as a great coach, stop being overly committed because he broke a drought. A great coach will make decisions that will win you more games than you should. An average/good won't cost you games you should win. A below average/bad coach will cost you games you should win. And McDermott has placed himself firmly in the last category. It's one thing to coach a team to grinding out defensive struggles running the ball like when he first broke the drought. It's another thing to coach a team with a high powered offense going toe to toe with the league's best. It's like driving a tractor trailer vs driving a Ferrari. He's so far over his head with this team. Thank you for your contributions Sean, but this team is well above your caliber as a coach and you are costing us success, buh bye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I figured he was referring to the lack of security down there at the chophouse. Security has to employ better cell phone shielding discipline, that's on the coches for poor preparation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of stuff the Pegulas truly need to consider if McDermott doesn't deliver next year. Can't wait for the Pegula's to grace us with presence of their NFL versions of Ron Rolston, Ted Nolan, Dan Bylsma, Phil Housley, Ralph Gruger, Don Granato and Kevyn Adams. I don't trust the Pegula's to upgrade the coach. I also think McD is very good. Is he HOF? I don't know. But I think he is hall of very good. Things can go south very quickly. Thinking of those SD teams moving on from Shottenheimer because of 14-2 and playoff loses, only to become completely irrelevant with a great QB.

My understanding is that in the NFL most of the meat of what happens on Sunday, happens OFF the field. That's why in the NFL you can do so much virtually. You're not spending in season working on fundamentals - you're expected to do get those down in OTAs, summer camp and players own time. You're trying to get players to understand their jobs for the week. If someone can't do that, they shouldn't be working with pros. The problem with college coaches is that they micro-manage; However, in the NFL they have to delegate and let others do their work. If you don't then you will get beat.
