i liked him when he came. i really wanted Marrone to stay one more year to finish taking out the trash, honestly. but that was ok and mcd vindicated himself from my judgement when he had early success (potentially too early) with the '18 team.
i bought into him as a rebuild team after having Rex run the team with Roman and Thurman, two obvious subpar coordinators. He brought in two great candidates to run the team and it seemed like he could manage being the overseer of the team as HC. Dennison ultimately struggled.
it was against the Chargers that i first noticed a problem with him. he let Peterman start to the discontent of the entire team. to the point that the team gave up and didn't even care. they were messaging people during halftime about how it was messed up. against SD the chargers the coach took the team in unprepared and unwilling to step in when the OC was making a bad decision with peterman when it became obvious.
fast forward to '19 and what he did in Houston. he had the team in a position to win and they choked. that was more of a shrug it off thing but it was the first time we saw a team unable to do anything valuable in the postseason but it was not the last.
by tennessee in 2020 it was fairly obvious that the coach had issues. he took an unprepared team to get their ass handed to them and added a loss next week with an uninterested team against the Chiefs. the rest of the season rocked with supreme talent and one of the best rosters in the league in a long time.
but 13 seconds was the nail in the coffin. for 2021 it was completely reasonable to see a disappointing loss to old big ben, a miserable jags game, an ass kicking from an inferior colts team we couldn't stop from scoring.
in the end, wins are wins. and most here are happy just being relevant. i think this way of thinking means you're a loser. you either want to win homecoming queen or just be happy being asked to the dance.
the question that gets asked to me all the time is if not McDermott then who? i don't have a solid answer for that because i don't pay enough attention to the candidates. but i do know that fear from possible mistakes is greater than the mistake of satisfaction over mediocracy.
fire mcdermott at the end of the year.
Sean McDermott is Lindy Ruff. Both guys who had a ton of success but now seems to be running out of steam.we saw the murderer’s row of coaches that followed Lindy, and I am terrified at the thought of that happening to the Bills too, because I do not trust Terry to do the right thing. Ever.

But those weapons come at an expense. If you need to surround the guy with multiple top weapons than maybe you shouldn't be paying him $250M. Go get Brock Purdy
No sane human being would take Brock Purdy over Josh, even on his worst day -

Again, these are the hypotheticals for what I'd want in return.
also, remember, Josh's film from Wyoming wasn't spectacular.
Counterpoint, Josh wasn’t hyped as the Second Coming of Christ-

Defensive depth is being tested and oh boy is it being exposed.
There’s only so much depth can do when you have four superstars out.-

Yeah, Josh needs to make those plays. I get that. But also, once again, Josh dragged this team to win at the end of the game and the defense let him down.

Allen to Chicago for first and third overall, first in 2025 and 26.
Draft Williams and Harrison.
Why would you look at Williams’ film against Notre Dame and Utah and decide he’s worth a top overall pick?-

Purdy going just 2 weeks ago was the MVP front runner. He needs to start getting more credit.
Anyone is an MVP front runner when you get Kittle/Aiyuk/McCaffrey/Debo to work with and a top-5 HC4 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said:

What's wrong with the 49ers?
I don't know if SF is going to make the playoffs.
Should Shanahan be fired?
Shanahan can only do so much with random limited white guys at QB

It's impossible to do that. I think what might be more realistic is making PI a 15 yard penalty and a first down. Maybe they could implement something like it's a spot foul for blatant intentionally PI.
Problem is you’ll have DBs intentionally drawing a foul on long bombs to eat 15 yards instead of 45-

Refs are bad. So obvious.
Mahomes, Reid, and Kelce. It's the new version of Brady, BB, and Gronk.
I believe they are a destiny team for many years. They are clearly the team to beat in the AFC for years.
Kelce is 34, he can’t realistically go at this level much longer. Hopefully anyways -
That’s 100% grounding

Did anyone see that stat on ESPN today, where Allen was 10 for 22 yesterday with 2.5 seconds or more throwing time. And with less than 2.5 seconds to throw he was 17 for 17.
Not sure if there’s a thread about it. There has to be something to this. Obviously when he has no time to think he is going on quick instinct. when Josh has time to think, he chucks too many downfield into coverage instead of taking the easy play. He’s a mustang and you can’t tame him, says Von Miller!
Makes sense when he’s scrambling and everybody is covered-

Possibly but not as polarized as Josh. He goes from superstar to dud quick. He can carry our team but also bring down our team.
I dunno, yesterday was just another example in the McD era where Josh dragged this team to win, only for the defense to collapse (Hail Murray, 13 Seconds, Vikings, Titans, etc)-

Yesterdays game was a perfect example. Throwing late, throwing behind and over receivers, staring down receivers, throwing bad interceptions, overall sloppy play.
I blame scheme more than anything.
For Pete’s sake, this is like the fifth game in a row I’ve noticed Gabe and Stef right on top of each other running routes

No, the “process” was turning around a pathetic nothing franchise festering in 17 years of futility and turning it into a contender. That was accomplished. I don’t know why people STILL bash the process thing.
