His emotions are all over the place during games, and McDermott knows that, hence the emphasis on not getting too high or low, a mantra Allen repeats a lot.
Not a bad strategy, but he plays his best when he's angry.
McDermott with a lead in a big game (especially on the road)is dangerous for us. He will always get insanely conservative and let the other team hang around.
Now attack them. Enough of this conservative crap. Go down the field. Take a shot to Cooks. Play to win the game. A ten-point lead would be huge in a game like this. Actually prioritize scoring over your stupid and impotent gameplan, McDermott.
I'm starting to wonder if this is even true. We may have a good receiving corps that has been rendered useless by an awful offensive coordinator. That's a possibility.
