Thanks- I just didn’t want to put words in your mouth. Thanks for reaffirming

Just so I don’t put words in your mouth, please tell us why you think he hired Babich and has him calling plays

Went back and forth between 9-10 before pulling the trigger on 10. Monster schedule

Agree 💯

Do you think this is the reason he made this move? Or do you think he did it because it is in the best interests of the teams success?

😘 Sorry, didn’t have my reading glasses on, missed that part my guy!

Except I didn’t claim it that to be the case

How long into this thread before posters start claiming that McD did this to deflect blame onto Babich when we don’t win a SB and use him as the scapegoat to save his job

Keon won’t take your offer? 😉

And in the playoff games vs the bengals and the chiefs, we didn’t have a top 5 roster in the field. Not even close. Beginning of the season roster doesn’t = end of the season roster. We suffered a lot of bad luck…..a long with being out coached. just like Shanahan has been out coached in 2 super bowls vs Reid. They have a much better coaching staff than we do….. just as they have a better coaching staff than every other team in the league. It’s not always about us. Sometimes it’s also about the opposition…..and KC is great

No- he’s the head coach and ultimately owns all responsibility. I don’t think that he is responsible for the players making plays and the OC calling plays. He is the one most reasonable for our losses each season. He’s not the only one responsible. That falls on many facets of our team. We had the weapons in the past and only lived up to their potential in one season ending loss, 13 seconds. 19- they failed. 20, the O failed. 22 the O failed. 23, the O failed. yes, the D failed more so.

Milano and Bernard both missed the games with lower body injuries- if they weighed 10 lbs more…..they still would’ve gotten injured. Our biggest guy, Daquan, missed most of the season with a torn pec. Von got rolled up from behind. Benford is not a smaller corner. Tredavious is not a smaller corner. Douglas is not a smaller corner. Dodson was not a smaller LB. all of our injuries didn’t occur because we have smaller Lbers.

Fair point- I digress- part of the blame lays on him. I was one of the critics on that fake punt call. I hated it. I suppose we still had a slight chance after the missed FG, but I don’t really put that failed stop at the end on him. The 8 yard run by Pacheco on 1st down basically sealed the game. again- he deserves blame. Do you think he’s the only reason that we haven’t won a SB?

Supremely athletic. Perfect guy to roll the dice on with zero risk. He made a smart choice and landed in the perfect spot. If he’s ever going to excel, it’s right here. Just needs to stay healthy

You don’t see the significance of not scoring any points in the last 18 minutes of a game vs pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Andy Reid in a playoff game? How many teams have defeated the chiefs in the playoffs doing that? You’re asking me to play make believe in instances that could never be possible- how would josh have fared if the ravens played without roquan, queen, Humphrey and a broken Clooney? How would he have don’t if he were on the niners without Warner, ward, greenlaw and a broken bosa? How would Josh have done on the bengals without Pratt, Wilson and a broken Hendrickson? again- you’re putting this on one person- and it’s ridiculous. I don’t see how anyone that understand football could really believe what you believe. He’s been part of the problem. He isn’t the only problem. There have been multiple issues leading to our losses.

Yeah, the stacked ravens defense that wasn’t missing all of their Lbers, 2 starting corners, had their best pass rusher relegated to a hobbit and who’s great safety tandem got torched all game? Definitely all mcds. I’d have loved to see that ravens d play with Aj Klein, a hobbled Tyrell Dodson and Dane Jackson playing the lions share of snaps. If thats the only way to defeat the chiefs in the playoffs, they’re going to win several more SBs so again…..was it mcds fault that the offense didn’t score any points in the last 18 minutes? because every loss is his fault.

Correct- I’ll say it again- McDermott is not without fault. He’s 💯 part of the reason we haven’t won a SB. He’s just not the only reason. so I’ll ask again- what part did McD play in the offense not scoring any points in the final 18 minutes vs the chiefs? Was that his fault? Did that happen to play a part in the loss? Is ANY team going to beat Mahomes and Reid after not scoring for the final 18 minutes in the playoffs? ….. meanwhile his defense got stops on the last 2 possessions….. when the team absolutely needed them to. but yeah- the loss was on him 💯 👌

🤣 Obv mcds fault that the offense didn’t score in the last 18 minutes of the game vs machines and Reid! OBV mcds fault

2023- offense doesn’t score a point in the last 18:23 of the game……. Not part of the equation? Interesting

So mcd, who wasn’t the defensive play caller most seasons, is the only reason we haven’t won a SB

Players not making enough plays- coaches getting out coached- injuries. Combination of all 3 is why we are what we are. I don’t think this is very hard to understand. Watch the games- it’s pretty obvious to me. those that think there is one reason we haven’t won a SB don’t understand the game properly. Our season hasn’t ended 4 years in a row because of one thing

I was a Cam Lewis hater 2 years ago- this past season, I thought he played fairly well in his limited opportunities. He can play S and the slot, which is why he has a stranglehold on a roster spot. Especially this season without a viable backup for Taron and all the injuries at S. Makes sense to me

Consider the source. He bashes 99% of the time. Malcontent sounds like you need a new past time then

I don’t know the post june 1 numbers, but his dead cap is almost 17M if he’s cut. Looks as if we will pay 2-3M more in cap in order to release him. He’s not great, but if that is that case, cutting him makes no sense imo

Because they like this kid more. Obv
