When I pay someone to paint my house I'm not paying them to paint half of it and that's what Mcd is doing winning in the regular season and not when it matters most. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hated him. Wow, that I di not know - not surprising at all I guess. He looks like a tool.....acts like a tool.....perhaps - he is a tool!!!

I would certainly call 0-3 in the big one not winning when it matters most lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I know this is an unpopular opinion but Shanahan wasn't to blame for the Super Bowl loss. Purdy was. An offense can't function consistently with a QB that has zero ability to make plays with any sort of mess in the pocket. It's a minor miracle that their offense worked as well as it did this season. Deebo Samuel also clearly wasn't close to healthy, so you take away the #1 WR combined with a limited QB going against a stellar defense, no one should be surprised by the result. His team also held the Chiefs to 3 points in the 1st half, and just 1 TD in regulation which only came off of a muffed punt. As far as coaching goes it doesn't get much better than that. I get the complaint about his unwillingness to run but the Chiefs were focusing on shutting the run down all night because they had no fear that Purdy's arm would take advantage of those favorable looks. It's silly to compare Shanahan's record against the Chiefs in the playoffs versus McDermott's. One of them has a QB capable of matching Mahomes' play in the playoffs, the other has a backup QB. At least Shanahan's team didn't get steamrolled the entire game. I mean this has got to be the only place on the internet where anybody places McDermott and Shanahan in the same conversation. So of course I would be enthralled if we somehow ended up with Kyle Shanahan. Hopefully the 49ers are dumb enough to make him the sacrificial lamb next year and then inevitably fall into purgatory when their QB problem doesn't magically solve itself. We could have our pick of the litter if McDermott fails again - Ben Johnson, Kyle Shanahan, Mike Vrabel. Who wants their chance with a top 2 QB and a good core of young talent?

It’s amazing the mental gymnastics some people on here do to prop up other coaches (ex:Shanahan) or players (ex: Herbert) while continually putting down the Bills. Especially in this case-getting the job done for most people is winning the Super Bowl. It baffles me that people are arguing that Shanahan is getting the job done according to their own criteria 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Big pass on Shanahan. McD is a better fit and coach for the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mof who has Mcd beaten ? Rivers playing in last game which btw we almost lost that game and Lamar the regular season Champ of QBs ? Mcd ain't promised nothing in any conference when he struggles to beat the Thompson's and Old man Rivers of the world. Save your breath....Gunner will be the last one on the USS McDermott.

The best team in the NFL has kept them out. Wanna see a chart that shows the best teams in the NFL the last five years? The top five are the Chiefs 63-20, Bills 58-24, Ravens 56-27, Packers 56-27, 49ers 54-29. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/best-teams-in-the-last-5-years-in-nfl The Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, now Spags have just been the best team in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills lost to the Chiefs this season in the playoffs... at home... with an injury-riddled defense... by a missed FG. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I wouldn’t hate it actually. Look what he’s done with a 7th round QB and also led Jimmy Garrapollo to a SB. The skill players on that team are amazing as well. I could only imagine what he could do with an elite QB like JA. Still I’m not ready to give up on McDermott. I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they were to go with the hot OC/DC type like Ben Johnson then the only proven coach out there is Bill and Pete. The Seahawks forced Pete Caroll to step down as HC and take an advisor position with them. At this point I don't know if he would want to come east. He did win a Super and National Championship.
