I presume the next question was "Why?" Did he have an answer to that or will he have to get back to us?

[Dick_Cheney]

One of the dumbest non-answers ever. Like seriously. What the ***** does that mean.

Sorry I didn’t catch the actual press conference yet. Just catching up on tweets.

I’d like to see some vintage Power I next game.  That’d be cool.

Zero confidence in this coaching staff anymore. You march right down the field and score 7 and then decide hey let’s try some other things. You keep ***** doing what’s working.

Fire him

I hope he is more inspiring in the locker room with the players, then he is in those press conferences…

You realize if the Bengals rolled 40 on my defense people would be blaming me. Slow it down!

Sounds like “balance”.

Sigh.

Sorry, was a rhetorical question - was meaning it to come across as annoyed with McDermott rather than anything against yourself. 😊

Perhaps he felt that our offense wasn't inclusive enough.  

 

Maybe some players weren't happy with their roles, and in the interests of positive culture McD decided to try other styles of offenses.   

 

Maybe they'll put a tent on the field as a safe space for any player(s) that aren't happy with their roles during games.  That could help.   And for the players on D for which it's too much trying to play more due to a couple of injuries there, maybe a tent on-field with comfort dogs or something too.  We could put snap counters on players, and once their forced over a certain percentage of snaps, into the comfort animal tent they go for treatment.  

 

It's so exciting to see where this goes!!  

 

Either way, it's good to see that our Head Coach was on top of things and made sure to abandon things that were working so that we could be inclusive to the feelings of other inanimate styles.  There's no denying the fantastic culture he's built here.

You joke, but I’m sure this is it. They wanted to play ball control and avoid a shootout with the Bengals, who they feared would school them in a high scoring game. It’s the usual strategy of the underdog.

*Looks at recent results and performances*

 

No. No, he isn't.

[Eastport bills]

It’s the same reason he challenged the 9 yd pass play in the 4th qtr, and frittered away our crucial TO. It’s because he’s a poor game day decision maker and he’s super conservative and doesn’t understand offensive rhythm and how it’s created. I want to believe we can win games in spite of his shortcomings but if his defenses are unable to make stops, he’s holding us back.

[Process]

Im assuming this is Sean saying he was scared of the Bengals offense and wanted to keep them off the field.

Judging by McDermott's demeanor last night when interviewed at halftime by the sideline reporter, I doubt he could inspire anyone to do anything, other than perhaps to run for the bus.
