Not a good look for the franchise. Absolutely agree. He says Josh doesn’t have that look in his eye, I’d say he sounds like a Coach who is scraping the bottom of the barrel for answers. Hes running out people to blame for his team continuing to come out flat and uninspired. Can’t blame the fans, can’t blame the owners, fired both coordinators now. 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not the same guy right now. The thing that strikes me is McD being so forthcoming with how little he usually says about anything. You don't think this is a weird thing to say as a head coach in reference to your QB? ...McDermott on why he think that's dissipated with Allen over the last few weeks: "Yeah, I have my own thoughts, but I won’t go there right now.

GoBills808 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I mean to me, and maybe it's the confirmation bias talking so take it fwiw, this sounds exactly like getting the narrative out there that the offense is the root cause of all the issues. Because it can't be the defense. Because McDermott's in charge of the defense. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the year before that? Obviously that’s McDermott and Daboll butting heads about running the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the weird part, not the take itself which seems evident. That's my point. Even in the postgame presser he was clearly flustered and immediately went to bat for the defense while saying the offense is the problem. The guy is not approaching his job like an HC right now. He's just responding like a defensive coordinator. 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 23 minutes ago, Coldfronts said: agree 100% more than just scheme. It was apparent when Brady had his press conference and he said that I want to see that look in Josh's eye again and all the rah rah rhetoric. They all know that Josh is the engine and they have to keep him in the right positive mindset Quote Let the confidence rebuilding begin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 This could be as simple as he got along great with Josh as the quarterback coach, but when it was time for him to be coordinator, they crashed Could be a simple as that 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just responding like a defensive coordinator. That’s right. He clearly has no ideas on how to coach an offense to score in the NFL circa 2023. He feels it closing in. The QBs psyche is fragile, the teams confidence is fragile, and he’s about 1 bad loss away from getting asked about his job security. The pre step to that is constantly asking about having too much on his plate running the defense and HC. Soon it will be Sean any concerns about your job?

EasternOHBillsFan Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Bob Jones said: I don't care who the OC is, or how "bad" your team is, if you're making $40 mil A YEAR (6 months, really), and you're playing a game, and you're not happy just to go out there and play, you need professional, mental help. Wall Street execs and stockbrokers are just as susceptible to these kind of mental issues as someone "playing a game", so enough with that... a job is a job, no matter if it's trading or throwing a football in a professional league. People get on bad streaks, go into bad funks, etc, etc... it's called LIFE. Edited November 17, 2023 by EasternOHBillsFan 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 11 minutes ago, The Wiz said: He was asked about the Cook benching after the fumble and basically said that he hadn't earned his trust the same as someone that might have been with the team for a longer period of time. I'm assuming this is a direct "trust" comparison between benching Cook and not benching Davis after he had an INT go off of his hands. So a guy who fumbled twice in 27 games gets less trust than a 58% catch percentage receiver. Got it. Wow that is unhinged. Cook hadn't fumbled since his very first snap in his very first game. We lost two drives because of Murray's mistakes - on one drive he dropped a pass with only one man to beat in front of him, and then on another drive he got tracked down and tackled by a freaking nose tackle. McDermott is floundering IMO. 4 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
