Simon Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It's neither a co-incidence nor the first time we've seen Josh barely running the ball in a game that immediately followed a game where he had ~10 rushes. Every time it gets to be too much, McD yanks on the leash that week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 7 hours ago, Process said: The punt on 4th and 1 from the 50 was really bad. But in general McD is good in those situations. With this defense, punting in that situation isn't necessarily a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly tactically sound, but it also would have been a nice place to throw his players a bone to keep that streak going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've probably done that or will at some point, hell I think Ed was in coverage once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 McD remembers losing the past 2 times vs Tennessee by a combine 29 points so he knew he needed to win by at least 30 to keep his +/- at a winning margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sick of fans thinking McDermott is some messiah that should be worshipped Young troll is getting quite good at burying absolutely ridiculous statements. None of this is true.

But with this offense there are very few scenarios where we should be putting on 4th and 1 from the 50. Think we could have just kept our foot on their throats in that spot. Not a huge deal, and yes, it did work out well. Disagree here. That type of thing can cost a game. See the Ravens Miami game. Sometimes it only takes a spark to change the tide.

There is such a thing as being over aggressive. I've seen several coaches lose games early because they didn't have faith in their team, i.e. Brandon Staley in a bunch of games last season. I think it has started seeping into coaches' brains that if they don't go for it on 4th down and they lose the game they'll be questioned, but if they go for it and lose the game no one will blame them as much. Contrary to popular belief field position does still matter, all the analytics show it, and the Titans don't exactly have a powerhouse offense. Being over aggressive is an invitation to let a team like that back into the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the warning signs were still there that he doesn't seem to make the best decisions and still fear that could cost this team when it matters again like KC last year. I also think the 0-6 in close games stigma isn't going away until proven otherwise as well. Jesus dude you just cant help yourself can you.

Think we could have just kept our foot on their throats in that spot. One could equally argue that with this defense we can afford to pin a team deep, and with this offense we can score points on later drives anyways. And our offense is not built for 3rd or 4th and short. We don't have big beefy OL that force their matchup backwards, we have athletic specimens that keep the pocket wide on pass plays and move around to set up blocks in the run game. In fact I only want QB sneaks or normal pass plays on 3rd or 4th and short from now on. Read option or Zack Moss up the middle is doomed from the start. Allen either powers his way forward or finds an open receiver/scrambles. I don't know why we ever do anything else on those plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it mean he's Vince Lombard or Bill Belichik no, but it garners respect. Also let's be serious here, this team is oozing with so much talent Rex Ryan or Doug Marrone would be in the same boat with this roster especially since both have been have also been to AFCCG's before and frankly did much better than McD's only trip there so far. Barry Switzer also won a SB with the Dallas Cowboys, most casual fans probably don't even know who he is but it proves a point that talent can sometimes reign supreme. Just sick of fans thinking McDermott is some messiah that should be worshipped here when it's really about Josh Allen being the main reason this franchise has turned around and that's on Beane if anything, not McD either. If McD is part of a SB winning team in Buffalo only an idiot would still criticize him afterwards. McD got to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor and Nate Peterman at QB. Rex took a top defense and made it terrible. Andy Reid is a great coach but before Mahomes was often questioned about his decision making too. Just stop dude. You look like a jackass.
