Yeah. Would just be nice if her ever hit on one.

I disagree. Beane has made some moves to get players and McD refuses to let them see the field. Elam is a prime example of that. The guys had 3 ints in big moments but for whatever reason he is constantly a game day decision to be in plain clothes. Don’t follow

Right. Now all the sudden we’re great because we sacked a 3rd string QB with a depleted OL. lol. Got it.

Yeah I think I’ve proved that I can speak for myself over the years. Time and time again I disagree with the masses in this place and don’t back down and hold my ground. Even when I’m in a thread and I’m the only one making the point for a particular side and everyone else is debating it. Yet here I am, continuing to not back down and defend myself. I’ll be here next year this time too. Expressing my dislike for this coach again after we don’t win a championship again. Ive been very vocal that I don’t think this coach ever wins a SB unless he gets extremely lucky and Allen goes full nuclear and just punishes people in the playoffs. He’ll have to overcome McDs terrible coaching to do it.

IMO our defense has enough talent to impact and match up with the teams in the playoffs. We’ve proven it in the regular season year after year. Again, it’s McD and his conservative mindset in the playoffs that kills us time and time again. like I already stated. If Shanny had Allen he would have set records and won multiple championships by now. McDaniel is the offensive version of McDermott imo. And yes, I do bring it up over and over again and hold it over him. Because he continues to make the same mistakes over and over.

Purdy wasn’t that good to begin with. You can’t have 2 potential mvps on the same team and claim that he was great. They had a really good defense and CMC. But it’s kind of tough to compare Shanny with McD when one of them has been to multiple SBs with multiple QBs. If Shanny had someone like Allen manning the QB spot on his team they would go undefeated and would have won at least 2 SBs by now.

I’ll be waiting.

Including coach. Thank you

IMO he won’t be given the opportunity in the playoffs. Because McD will have him on a short leash. Which is his MO in the playoffs. He refuses to coach and play aggressively and once and for all best a team. Always playing not to lose. I’ve been sayin it for years and it continues to be true every year. Now we’re getting somewhere

Many people see him as a savior and a defensive guru that has managed to do amazing things with little or no talent. Despite all the picks and FA resources spent on the defense.

No. My argument is that McDermott is good enough to do everything we need in the regular season. He doesn’t coach conservatively. Then when the playoffs hit he goes into a shell. Happens every year.

You need that many OLmen also but you don’t see them taking 18 OL in the first 3 rounds and in FA

That still doesn’t negate the fact that the “guru” and beloved defensive head coach has gotten everything he’s asked for to help his defense. despite being a top 5-10 defense every year and finishing near the top of the league in sacks during the season, he vanishes in the playoffs. Against literally every opponent. He had a decent showing against the ravens in the Covid year and that’s it.

Oliver top 10 pick Russeau a first round pick Phillips a 3rd rd pick Epenessa a 2nd rd pick Basham a 2nd rd pick and I can’t even begin to talk about all the FA resources spent on the DL. It’s more than 10. Here’s the ones off the top of my head. Miller Murphy Star Phillips Lawson Settle Floyd Joseph Ford

Oh don’t worry I don’t need people to back up my opinions that most of you on this message board disagree with anyway. I really don’t care. As would you in a debate that actually uses facts.

Ugh. For once I’d like a team that I am a fan of to actually win it. Not finish 5th. I guess your happy with playoff mediocrity

100% if a defensive guru (and that’s what many want to call him) is so good, then he shouldn’t need early pick after early pick. And free agent after free agent to bolster his line to get his job done. But again, you make a point, if they are this bad at identifying talent on the DL then maybe they need to rethink their strategy

lol. You’re funny. Last I checked were on a message board not a debate

Like I said, they’ll defend their lovable coach over everything. Can’t take criticism even though it’s warranted. But hey, we’re no longer the bottom of the basement and a playoffs team every year. So let’s be happy. YAY!!!! 🤮

Yup. I guess I must have missed his team getting destroyed in the AFC championship game. And then completely botching a simple kickoff and mismanaging a defense with .13 seconds. Oh, and then I must have missed the shellacking by the Bengals at home. And then again a loss against the Chiefs this past year. So if we have such a great coach you would think we’d have won even a few games against good teams. After all, we can beat the chiefs and create a pass rush against Mahomes in the regular season, but can’t seem to do it in the playoffs.

Don’t worry 808. Some people will never get it and will defend their beloved coach through everything no matter what.

You better believe they are going to overpay for him. Just like they did with Epenessa

This is such a loser mindset. He is always top of the league in defense and was top 5 in sacks last year. Right until the playoffs then nothing.

Again. He is too conservative. He always coaches not to lose in big games. He never brings pressure. He rarely blitzes. He’s too scared to let up a big play. If McD is so good, but the talent is so weak he wouldn’t have a top 5-10 defense every single year. He wouldn’t have been near the top of the league in sacks last year but he was. Right until the playoffs and then he goes into a shell. Happens every year
