  1. Patient organization in Pittsburgh. Pegula I believe grew up a Steelers fan growing up so it's just one of the reasons I believe McDermott really has to screw up royally for him to ever be fired.
  2. Cowher and Tomlin both won it in their second year with Big Ben. Mostly due to their defense.
  3. It sort of tells you something when you have to turn to basketball as your best analogy. A defensive minded head coach with a top five quarterback statistically for three years with this much regular season success is pry Tony Dungy with the Colts. Starting in 2002 he went 10-6 (lost WC round), 12-4 (lost AFC Championship game), and 12-4 (lost divisional game) in his first three years with Peyton. McDermott starting in 2020 (when Josh became Josh) went 13-3 (lost AFC championship game), 11-6 (lost division game), and 13-3. The Patriots and Steelers would be our Chiefs and Bengals in this silly comparison. It took him two more seasons to finally win a Super Bowl. The comparison isn't perfect but it's all I got.
  4. Lol. 115 page thread about a veteran missing one practice in June is damn impressive.
  5. Mike McDaniel just to see if he has the strength to lift the Lombardi on his own.
  6. About a week after the Bengals game I heard it through the grapevine there was a domestic disturbance at Allen’s house the night before the Bengals game and Diggs felt Josh’s head wasn’t in that game. Which is what his issue was. I didn’t want to say anything because I assumed it would be resolved by now. This is just something that was told to me who knew one of the police officers. I’m not 100% sure he wasn’t full of *****.
  7. I'm not seeing DHop. Jerry Jeudy is with him though for some odd reason though.
  8. Diggs was just seen eating breakfast at the Denny's on Transit.
  9. We give the QB's and head coaches all the credit for winning the Super Bowl anyways. Go get the most money while you still can. I have no problem with that.
  10. He's a great coach with a great offensive mind. However, to be fair he only won one Super Bowl in his 14 years with Drew Brees going 9-8 in the playoffs. Is he really that much of an upgrade over McDermott who has a similar playoff record percentage wise with Allen (3-4) but has yet to win a Super Bowl? I'm not so sure.
  11. The Miami playoff game? The defense only gave up 231 yards. They gave up only one long touchdown drive more than 18 yards. We gave up a 50 yard punt return and Allen threw two picks that gave them a short field in our territory along with fumbling one for a Miami defensive touchdown. They also forced two key turnovers and made a couple of key stops on 4th down. We lose that game if our defense didn't shine. This defense ranks so highly year after year (besides 2020) because they play a basic but effective system that excels in stopping below average to average QB's. It's that simplicity that allows elite offenses to pick us apart. The lack of ingenuity and adjustments is frustrating to watch for three straight playoff exit games. I think they recognize this and it's why McDermott is taking over the play calling after axing Frazier. They need a way to at least slow the Chiefs/Bengals down when we hopefully face them in January again.
  12. Even if they removed the rookie wage scale the position has become so devalued it may push a lot of first round running back prospects into the third and fourth round so NFL teams avoid having to pay them much.
  13. Yeah. I laughed when the left was praising Bill Barr of all people (Trump's former "partner in crime" in their eyes). I do take his commentary on the indictment seriously though and I think for the first time Trump may be in some trouble. Pry not a smart idea knowing you're being recorded to admit to two reporters that the secret Pentagon documents you're showing them are classified, you could've declassified them when president, but you can't now. Just stupidity and carelessness on his part knowing that there's people in higher up places dying to charge you with a crime.
  14. Even if that happened he still had the Chiefs missing the playoffs which was a popular prediction if you wanted to be a contrarian last off-season. He doesn't have enough clout to have a six page thread over his season predictions.
  15. The Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, and Commanders. Just not against us. Also, the Falcons, Panthers, and Saints.
  16. Not first round picks. It will be how quick Kincaid can learn the offense, establish rapport with Allen, and adjust to playing against NFL defenses. I expect around 40 catches for 500 yards or so.
  17. A head coach is going to hire the best assistants possible because it gives them the best chance to win and keep their job. Thinking they're afraid that hiring too good of a coordinator that they might threaten their job is tin foil hat stuff man.
  18. Fair enough. I asked that question because Payton was the only coach available that I would've considered making the switch to after the Bengals game if I was Pegula. A proven innovative offensive minded NFL head coach who has a strong enough resume/personality to sell to the fans and players that as much as McD is loved, they just couldn't pass on that upgrade. I pry still wouldn't have done it because we have too good of a thing going here at present. I'd have to see either a disastrous season not due to an influx of injuries or another playoff game where McD was as thoroughly outcoached as he was in that Bengals game. I doubt McD chooses assistants who won't threaten his job. That's not how the NFL works. You want to do everything you can to hire the best assistants because winning is the key to job security in a cutthroat business that is the NFL. The only two examples off the top of my head in the last 10 or so seasons is two ex Bills head coaches ironically (Mularkey and Marrone). They had some weird team dynamics there and they were replacing two horrible head coaches.
  19. It's just one guy named Adam Rank. He's harmless. Last year he had the Broncos going 12-5 and the Chiefs missing the playoffs. He bought that narrative so why not buy the narrative that the Jets are the new Broncos and the Bills are the new Chiefs this year.
