Curiosity = downright dread. He sucks. Looks like a special teams/JAG. 

Yes, all rookies should look like pro bowlers in their first years

Because you get 8-minutes with the Head Coach. 

 

4 of them are spent talking about Christmas, snow, staying up late and watching movies, what he ate for dinner. 

 

At 7-9 nobody cares if a rotational DT misses games. At 9-3 coming off a game where the team you're playing ran it down your throat when they needed to, injuries are more important. 

 

Generic feelings questions provide no insight to anything. Having Josh Allen explain why he loves Stefon Diggs as a person provides nothing to talk about tactically about the team. 

 

They aren't there to give information tactically...they are there to say as much as possible without actually saying anything.

He was drafted in 3rd round and “made” a Super Bowl roster team. He should look like he belongs as a backup

 

he looked lost/ doesn’t belong in nfl  in 4th q of preseason games 

 

everyone had him as a major reach in 3rd

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm sure when McDermott was questioned today, there was no follow-up to how serious/how long Jordan Phillips will be out. 

 

Maybe the answer would be day to day, but I'm sure we moved on to talking about how much snow is left in McDermott's driveway. 

Lol.  You’re insufferable. They don’t ask, because they know the answer.  Just like every bills fan on earth knows the answer. Except you.  “We’ll take it one day at a time”.

The purpose of a PC isn’t to talk about anything tactically.  That would be STUPID. The opponents can listen too….. 

 

this is getting ridiculous.  Take some meds

No, you’re the guy who cries, just about everyday, about the reporters not asking tactical questions that the coach will never answer because he’s not an idiot, like some. 
 

you ask the same question every day and every day, people answer your stupid question with the correct answer.  Somehow, it’s yet to sink in. 
 

this is not rocket science.

So are you man. Constant policing. 

 

By the way, listen to the difference in a press conference after a loss, compared to a win. 

 

Then it's chalk full of - Coach, why didn't you use a timeout there, what was the thinking on the 3rd-2, why didn't you take the Field Goal there, Josh what were you seeing on this play? 

 

Then the focus on decision making gets real serious, real quick. 

 

The Bills win, and the media gets 🧡eyes and we ask questions about how it feels to hug each other. 

 

 

Too bad you don't like my line of thought. 

 

Maybe you enjoy when our OC is asked about how he relaxes after the game, I don't. 

 

Ask shorter, open ended questions.

Yes, great post. The local media has dropped the ball here so many times. I've been in several cities and WGR is, in my opinion, unquestionably the worst local sports talk radio station I've ever seen...er... heard

 

 

Thank you for asking more of our media then how much snow is still at the Facility, or a dog that ate a doughnut. 

[NewEra]

Just now, SUNY_amherst said:

 

That's not true. The purpose of a press conference is to meet with the press. It is up to the press to ask questions.

 

The press' job is to inform their audience, not to worry about opponents. If they arent asking follow up questions (and they arent) they are not doing their jobs

Then you guys should apply.  If not one of them is doing their job, they’ll be fired.  Replace them, ask the questions that won’t be answered and leave this gibberish off the board.  
 

how about you guys make a thread dedicated to reporters.  Or maybe build a website where all the Karen couch reporters can cry about how every team reporter sucks because they don’t ask tactical questions that the coach won’t ask…..wasting 1 of the 4 minutes reporters have to ask questions.

Ask questions that have a chance of being answered…… that’s what reporters should do

 

you want them to ask questions that everyone knows WON’T be answered….. just so they can do their job and waste time during a short PC.  
 

On todays episode of the Karen Couch Reporter:  

 

Karen:  “how long will Jordan Phillips be out coach?”

 

Coach: ”we’ll take it one day at a time” 

 

Karen:  “thanks for the detailed explanation coach.  Next episode we’ll ask about tactics  so you can not say anything.  Again”

I agree that most of these pressers are theater. But the unspoken part is McDermott isn't going to answer certain questions no matter how much you want to badger him. And is it worth lighting your access up in flames to push over something so trivial?

Hey, as long as some fans on a message board are content...then it's worth it!!!

[Greg S]

So, I went over to JetsNation to see what they are saying. Someone started a thread "The Jets will beat the Bills". That's fine they should be excited about their team but check out this comment from a Jets fan. I would like to know what planet he is watching football on because it sure isn't Earth.

 

From a Jets fan...

The Jets have better QB, RB, WR, and RT this time and the defense has not changed much since last game so yes they should win! go JETS!

The WR claim is bonkers too.  Nobody on the Jets WR corp is better than Diggs.

He may saying they have a better QB this time around. Meaning white is better than Wilson.

Not yet but Wilson has potential. He looks like he will be a special player for them.

I think he means White is better than Allen which is comical.

Got real serious after 13-seconds didn't it? 

 

Got real serious when Josh got hurt this year, didn't it? 

 

Then it was a lot of refreshing the browser to get answers. 

 

Then McDermott knew to head the press conference off with details on that immediately didn't he? 

 

Same with the Von Miller situation. 

 

 

We're 9-3 and it's all rainbows again. But when we're 6-3 and have no #2 WR output, a question like what is Kahlil Shakir's role on the team, or Coach what are your feelings on the amount of play action in this offense, can potentially provide more insight than Ken, how do you spend your off days on this mini-bye. 

 

 

[Greg S]

Just now, Goin Breakdown said:

He's saying that White is better than Wilson. Not that White's better than Allen. 

 

Why does he mention RB, WR, RT. If he is comparing the Jets roster in this game vs their roster in the first game, then how are they better. Breece didn't play game 1 and he isn't playing Sunday. The WR's are the same as game 1. I don't remember if they have same OL then as now. It looks to me like he is comparing the Jets to the Bills but maybe I am wrong.

You have a great point. I just read it and assumed he was saying white is better than Wilson because who in their right mind would say he's better than Allen?  Maybe bad sentence structure. Maybe bad eyes. Maybe bad judgement. I'm thinking all of it.

Pulled a hammy chasing after Milano during a pick 6, and did this diving at Jones from 10 yards away with 2 min left in a 3 score game. He's gotta be better about protecting himself. DTs in particular are not built or conditioned to chase a guy 60 yards before launching at him

You state feelings I have about many "news" programs these days.  I tune in and they're talking about Tom Brady's divorce or something instead of pressing world issues.

 

Here's the thing though: it must be remembered that like news programs today, all of these reporters are there to draw readership and listeners and clicks.

 

Just because you and I could not care less about McDermott's dog eating his donut and would like instead to know medical specifics of Jordan Phillips shoulder injury, the reporters and their editors/managers may have data showing that the majority of readers not only care about the dog and the donut, they want to know the breed of the dog, the flavor of the donut, and if the donut was chocolate did McD call the vet?

 

Same thing with Tom Brady's divorce.  If the watchers care about Tom Brady's divorce more than the state of the power grid in Ukraine, that's what we'll get.

 

Medical information is private.  If Dawkins chooses to disclose he's got a high ankle sprain, that's his biz.  But McDermott really shouldn't disclose Dion's medical information further than NFL injury reporting rules require, where "ankle" suffices.

 

As far as disclosing tactical info about the team, McDermott isn't there for that or to provide you with insight.  He's just "there so he doesn't get fined" so to speak.

agree 100%. But, if it hasn’t become painfully obvious over the last 2.5 years or so especially… the media’s job is to make money and drive clicks/eyeballs to their sites.  NOT ask the questions that they’re supposed to ask.

Except the daily injury report from each practice detailing participation level and body part effected, as well as a game status designation. 

 

I'm not saying reporters need to badger McDermott for details, if he says week to week, fine, you don't need to ask "get more specific Coach, what does that mean, walk us through the oblique". 

 

But it's okay to say, at this point is Phillips a week to week injury or potentially season ending, stop there, and let him answer.

This game is a great sports psychology study.  The Bills should bear the Jets at home fairly easily.  In the past several years the Bills have struggled being front runners. A win in this game is evidence they have overcome this psychological block.  

What are you talking about? They have regularly beaten the snot out of teams.

OK, sure, if McDermott has not been asked "what's the timeline for Jordan Phillips return from this shoulder injury?" that's 100% fair game.

They'd probably hear "day to day" or something like that, but you never know, could hear actual information.

I'm pretty sure he's saying the Jets are better at those positions since the last time they played us. Mike White, Corey Davis, and Michael Carter did not play. Not sure that George Fant is really an upgrade at RT though.

If he played the whole NE game with the injury I feel much better.  When did Phillips turn into such a glass cannon though?

Did you see the play he was injured on? Perhaps the most ungraceful shoulder injury ever. Then again, it’s hard to be graceful when that much mass is moving as fast as it can.

I thought Carter played in the first game. I forgot about Davis. The Bills have some starters back who didn't play in the first game as well. Hope Milano can play.
