Not a coach or a teammate. Certainly there are bigger things going on, but to me it just sort of cosigns how I view him/how he is. A million people checking up on him and he doesn't respond to one person on the team, not a coach, not another WR, not his QB. Nobody. Sports and football in particular tend to be pretty familial, but Tyreek isn't interested in being a good brother the same way he isn't interested in being a good father or good partner. Yea, I just finished the episode, I think McDaniel is far from their biggest problem. They’ve got a ton of injuries, and Tua is not Josh. If it’s not for Harty’s punt return TD, we probably lose that game, against a really banged up Dolphins team. Granted we wasted a lot of opportunities on offense too, but Miami isn’t losing because of McDaniel and his coaching style. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very dark for Miami vs the Bills in the Allen/McDermott era. Well said. That was my takeaway as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine McDermott cussing like a sailor in every team meeting and practice? 😂 2 hours ago, Low Positive said: He's not a joke, he's just not a head coach. He should be an OC cooking up plays in the lab. You are correct about the unnecessary F-bombs. It looks like he's forcing them in an attempt to be relatable to players, but at his core McDaniel is the Yalee that he is. Also, putting the Yale football helmet in his office is a strange touch. After the first Bills-Fish game he met McD at midfield and told him "I respect the !@#$ out of you." Who does that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 All of McDaniels' speeches sucked. He is horrible at addressing the team. Just stuff as much meaningless sports jargon, motivation jargon, and swear words into your speech as possible. That's all he does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say we were closer to a bigger win than a loss and I think the stats back that up. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fitzpatrick is a Harvard grad and extremely popular... just because someone is an Ivy League grad doesn't mean they have to be labeled as non relatable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been a blowout. But, of course, the offense kept shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers and blunders. Play this game 10 times and I think the Bills win all of them. Everything that possibly could go wrong for Buffalo went wrong, and they still beat them. Edited January 10 by MJS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is nobody would ever call Fitz a nerd. McDaniel is basically a grown-up Steve Urkel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 McDaniel is weird, but he seems like a good coach. He does not seem like a leader of men, so we shall see where this all goes long-term. Also, maybe I am just old and out of touch, but what was Jerome baker wearing at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins are really banged up. KC’s been pretty sketchy too, but Dolphins going to play in -5 degree whether and banged up, if they can even keep the game close would be impressive for McDaniel and his team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Also, I think it is funny that the Dolphins had, what, five pro bowlers? And the Bills have two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Another random related thought: If Vrabel doesn’t go for 2 (and make it) after that first TD the Titans scored in the 4th quarter of that MNF upset, there’s a decent chance the Bills are hosting exactly zero home playoff games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did get beat because of him. He was clearly out coached in the 2nd half. McDermott adjusted on defense and McDaniel was not able to handle it. They ran for 100 yards the first half and 7 in the 2nd half. And they barely even attempted any runs, even though they had the lead or at least a tie for most of the rest of the game, until the Bills went up. I think this failure rests significantly on the shoulders of McDaniels. Yes, there were many factors, but coaching was certainly one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. I was thinking almost the same thing on the excessive cursing. Seems like a wimpy kid (yes I know he played football) that tries to act tough with all the f bombs. PS.

McDermott got luck with that end of the first half blunder, we left 3 points on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
