Gotta have your emotional heart felt pow-wow in the locker room after every game, win, lose, or draw.

 

Family!

 

It's childish and idiotic for adults being paid this much.  But a part of "football culture".

 Judging by the reactions you  had at the time of this post, you're on a very small island with a couple of other people. Out of 24 reactions:

 

 People who agree with you - 12.5%(3)

 People who don't - 87.5%(21)

Coach speak has gone downhill since Rockne's "lets win one for the gipper".

This one was special

[Buffalo_Stampede]

James Cook wasn’t impressed.

McD is a disciplinarian... Why he probably sours on some. Yet, he knows how to handle it with humor. Of course it's always easier when it's gonna be "VictoryFriday!"  AND of course, Josh knows how to tack around the tension. With some of the comments in this thread, I assume the lockerroom is no different, some not feeling the love. BUT McD has to pump up Allen more considering the Vikings game results fluke... 

 

It just comes natural Josh's leadership.

 

 

JA17: "[hushed undertone]: Hey hey, I know what you're doing here. [more boisterous]: I THINK we have a VictoryFriday coming up!!! [points to McD in submission]"

 

McD: "Hey, I make that call. Yeah you got it boy [LOUD APPLAUSE]!

 

NICE!

 

"Buffalo became the third NFL team to play two games in five or fewer days on the road in the same stadium, and the first to win both."

 

"Allen had a passing and rushing touchdown in the first half, finishing 24 of 42 for 253 yards to more than make up for throwing his 11th interception of the season. He has accounted for 162 touchdowns, trailing only Hall of Famer Dan Marino's total of 171 for the most by an NFL player in his first five seasons."

Very divisive.

 

He's a rookie. He can get onboard like it or not.  Since when should the newbs call the shots. Of course they need love to. But, let's not get too cerebral here with a lockerroom speech. The game still needs structure and hierarchy to be successful... And the rooks need to stay humble.

That's great for the locker room & the team. 2 wins in 5 days on the road isn't easy. I get they're weathering adversity & injuries. But the coaching & execution has to improve a lot, quickly (especially on offense). Right now they don't look like a team that gets passed their 1st round wild card game & no speech is fixing that.

what do you expect him to say? I thought this was good

[cgang]

I’d rather hear him say the same thing with the same emotion over and over again to the players he is responsible for than the alternative (whatever he says after they lose.).   Thankful for the win yesterday!

Lol I’m not hating on him by no means…. I just get the feeling the speech will resemble the last few post game speeches.  
Next win we get the speech will be, “that was a great win men…. Nothing comes easy, we know where we want to be, stay humble and hungry”

 

Ok, so you admit you didn’t even watch it, yet stumbled in here to post that all of his speeches are the same?

 

You do realize there is no requirement that you post in a thread, right?

You’re missing the essence of it by focusing on the words rather than the emotion. 
In a text or any transcript it would sound pedestrian, but McDermott sounded like a man who had just been through battle, his voice cracking. The normally subdued McDermott was struggling to hold back tears of joy and relief following a week of physical and emotional rollercoasters. 
What shame for anyone not able to feel that moment.

McDermott is a lousy in-game manager, but people like his ooh rah locker room speeches, after Allen and Diggs bail him out. You take away Allen, and McDermott wins six or seven games a season, tops. There are other coaches doing much more with much less.

[stevestojan]

Well you’ve surprised me yet again, TBD. 
 

I never considered this fun little video of our team’s head coach celebrating and having some fun with his team could possibly be a controversial post. 
 

I’ll go ahead and start another fire McD thread to keep some of you trolls sustained.

Take away Mahomes and Andy Reid wins about the same number. They’re barely scraping by with Patrick against lesser opponents, just like we are.

Trolls? Hey, in the rosy colored world of a win is a win, if they ever start handing out Lombardi Trophies based on the quality of post game locker room speeches, we may actually win one. Meantime, I'll continue to be a "troll", when and where it's called for.

If it’s childish and idiotic for adults to be paid this much, why do support an organization that does?

 

You sound like my friends daughter who started college last year.  She thinks big corporations are hurting America but gets a new IPhone every year and shops at Target all the time.

Wish he would've recognized Ed Oliver play in that instance. Ed had a MONSTER game

Both inexplicable picks at the time and now everyone sees why many of us were calling them wasted picks.  How much better would this team be w Creed Humphrey? A LOT.  Beane has done a lot of good, but drafting isn’t his best suite.

Maybe getting back 11 starters will help you fool.

I will say this. You can tell that team loves their coach.

The glory of victory. This reminds me of Maximus after he defeated the barbarians in Germania. Dan Campbell “Berzerker German” needed seven swords to finally die but the the more professionally organized but beaten up army won victory after a long campaign.

Missing only 1 starter on offense going into the game, Morse. Lost a 2nd in Dawkins. So that's not solving the offenses issues. & We don't seem to get more guys back than we loose each week, so I wouldn't count on that being the magic fix here.

Take away Brady and Bellichick is mediocre.

Take away Montana and Rice and Bill Walsh is average.

Take away Starr and the Super Bowl trophy isn't named "Lombardi."

 

Funny how that works.

That’s not a fair assessment.  Beane is a pretty good drafter, he just has blind spots, as does everyone.  
 

He hit on Rousseau, who looks better, with more potential, than other guys in the mid-late RD1 (Oweh and Phillips)

 

Epenesa, I can’t really kill him for.  The guy was the projected top pick entering his last college year.  He didn’t have the season he wanted, but was still regarded as sliding when we took him.  It was worth a shot, given his ability and our need to bring in a pass rusher with no RD1 pick.   Epenesa, at least, flashes sometimes. 
 

Basham, I don’t get.  I saw him at college.  He was ok.  Seemed destined to be a rotational DE.  Furthermore, we had a deal in place to trade back unless Basham was there… ok.   Reminds me of how high they were on Cody Ford… like they just secured an All-Pro.  
 

What I do think Beane needs to do religiously … mid-round WR and late-round DB every year.   Davis was a hit for a 4th rounder.  We’ll see what Shakir becomes.  While not studs… Jackson, Hamlin, Benford etc are all fringe starters, good depth… Hamlin/Benford potentially more. 
 

Let someone else draft Day 2 pass rushers from now on …

First you ignore the multitude of injuries on defense.  Second, you ignore the loss of Crowder.  Third, Allen is not 100%. Fourth, the ripple effect on the line is huge.  Van Roten is not a real guard.  Van Roten instead of Bates plainly adversely impacts Brown's play.  Quesseberry at LT is basically a joke.  Bates at center is no Morse.  Our OL is OK when healthy, but it sucks with the injuries.  Very hard to have a great O with no line.  And still they put up 26 points.  People may think injuries are "no excuse"  but if you don't think it impacts performance you are a fool.  Let's see where we are in January. But the clip is awesome!!!

Here's the difference: Every QB and HC you cite won multiple world championships.

I'm told Wisconsin is a lot like Czechoslovakia. Maybe I'll hop in the EM-50 and take you up on that.

Like when he won 9 with Tyrod Taylor as his starting QB and broke a 17 year playoff drought??
