McDermott has earned the right


Recommended Posts

Diggs wants out. Depleted defense. 6-6. Media and fans turned. Tyler Dunne hit article. 
 

To 2 seed and AFC East Champs. 
 

Not only was this an admirable job of keeping the team together but the way his defense played down the stretch was remarkable.  He should be HC until he’s decides he wants to hang them up.

As a head coach, as a leader, I have been as down on him as anyone on these boards. I still believe that if this team doesn't at least make the AFCG we need to strongly consider moving on. 

 

But his defense has been absolutely lights out down the stretch, and is THE reason we are in the playoffs. 

 

All year are offense has struggled. With turnovers. With moving the ball. And that didn't change during our 5 game win streak. We consistently put the defense in bad positions. And they consistently got the stops needed to keep us in games. 

 

An absolute masterclass from Sean to end the season, and he deserves a lot of praise.

First: he digged the hole he is now getting credit for getting out of. 

 

Second, we squeaked out wins against undermanned teams over the past 5 games.  Let's not get ahead of ourselves and see what happens in the playoffs, when most McD issues arise.

Agreed. In this game, the Dolphins were very successful in the first half with that misdirection toss gimmick. Second half, scoreless!

 

I think that defensive adjustment is the big takeaway of the game. (honorable mention to the punt return TD) 😀

Yep. I was having big issues with Sean but he really got his team to rally. Have to hand it to him. If I can be critical if him when I think he’s an issue I damned better well acknowledge when he is coaching his ass off.

This. If we come out flat against a Well coached Tomlin team, I would not be surprised at all.
