I don’t disagree this team needs to be better in close and OT games.  I just don’t think firing the HC is the answer. 

Let me ask it differently. Do you think that he’s doing a good job? 
 

Please don’t tell me that the record is good. They have Josh Allen. They should win games. What is it that he is doing that you think elevates this team?

brady got a bit tarnished in his last stop but not long ago he was very much in the list of innovative young guys. 
 

he’s not top of the list but he’s worth discussion probably. That he’s in house already might be his biggest knock if trying to turn the page cleanly but I’d have to wrestle with that a bit

 

Ideally we would fire McDermott tomorrow and give Brady the keys to end the season. That would give us a look at his head coaching prowess. But I highly doubt that's coming, and since he hasn't shown anywhere near the success that Johnson and Slowik have had in their relatively short stints as OC I think you just have to go with the more proven options.

Statistics cut too deep for you, Doc?

 

Your stats mean nothing. I watch the losses as they happen and McD is blowing it in real time. And there couldnt be a less precise stat to judge anything off of than overall wins and losses.

Why am I a loser for wanting someone with experience like a jim Harb over a guy who had been our oc for two games? 

 

That wasnt a reply to you. There were 2 posts quoted in that. Yours and another.

No. He’s the easy scapegoat. The next man up in the blame game. Our losses are by 6, 5, 4, 6, 2, 3. I don’t think a new HC gets you over that hump. Players are put in a position to win week in and week out. We shouldn’t take that for granted.

This was Ali vs foreman.  wtf guys?

McDermott is not getting fired this offseason unfortunately; not after having a signed a contract extension this past offseason.  He’ll get a pass b/c of all the injuries on D this year.  He needs to find a really good D coordinator this offseason and pass those duties off his plate.

I hear you. But if we miss on the next one, then that is easily 3 wasted years right there. 


If we stay put it’s almost certainly 3 more sooooo

 

sometimes you have to leave the bad relationship without knowing who your next gf is going to be simply because you know your current isn’t it

you can fix the defense for 10 years - he doesn’t trust the offense and the offense doesn’t trust him. It’s done.

be same result  Control freak Sean will overide the DC in key moments  Only way were winning w McDermott is if Bean goes all offense and we simply score 45 a game

Yes. He is doing a good job. 
 

His overall body of work since 2017 proves he is doing a good job. 
 

Good job: Firing Josh’s buddy and handpicked OC in the middle of the season was clearly the right move.  
 

Good job: With the offense slumping for most of this season, the defense, missing significant starters, either won us the game or kept us in the game with McD at DC.

Define wasted. Would you consider a divisional loss a wasted year at this point? 


yes. I think anything short of conference championship is wasted. 
 

I am losing faith in McDermott, but the mistakes he has made (especially in the playoffs) he has often learned from. Would hate watching the new guy make and learn from those mistakes too, which is probably inevitable.

 

I don’t know— we are definitely approaching a critical inflection point.
