    Do you ever make a post where you are not taking a shot at others on the board?

     

    Make your point and let it stand on its own without trying to draw attn to it with your drama

     

    Pessimistic posters get shots taken at them all the time, told to go find another team yadda.  So I dunno, maybe just ignore it if you don't like it.

    McDermott said, when asked if he regretted starting Peterman against the Ravens. "I felt like that was the right move and I'll take that to my grave."

     

    The whole taking stuff to his grave thing bothers me to. I mean, c'mon, that's used when someone is trying too hard to convince.

     

    I just don't like McDermott's style.  Something about it just feels very wrong to me.  I hate to say it but I liked Marrone's style better, even though he was a dinosaur as well.

    They invested heavily to acquire Allen and they are sold on him.

    That's just stupid.  They did the same with EJ, then came along a guy like Wentz.

    It's simply idiotic to not try to get the best QB possible even if that means drafting one in the first round in consecutive drafts.  Doug Pederson won the SB with the help of red/yellow/green light real time analytics, something almost all other coaches would not do due to ego.  The ego/coach knows best **** needs to stop IMO.  If you suck this season and you get a chance to draft the best QB in the draft, unless Allen didn't shock the NFL world, you draft that damn QB.

    Not necessarily.  He had to have promised Daboll a certain degree of autonomy over the offense to get him to buy in and take the job.

    I thought from Daboll's post-game presser, reading between the lines, he'd seen what he needed to see from Allen and wanted to go forward with him.

     

    It could have been a combo of Daboll, Beane, and feedback from the team leadership council.

     

    I sure hope McDermott isn't pushing for Peterman due to him being a fellow bible thumper. Everyone needs to be on the same page here...

    That is the "Silver Lining", indeed.

     

    Judging from McDermott's facial expressions and body language, that doesn't look at all as if that was the plan, or even a possibility that had been strongly considered.

     

    If the loss had been by a smaller margin, and Peterman had more than a 0.0 rating, he probably could have started him 4 games.

     

    IMO, the plan was to go the first 4 games with Peterman, then switch to Allen.  Now Allen is thrown to some very nasty wolves.

    The good thing about it is if Allen had started week one and didn't have a great game, a lot of people would be calling for Peterman.  Now Allen can just play and we don't have deal with a good portion of the fan base calling for Peterman if Allen struggles early.

     

     

     

    Yeah, this was discussed amongst family while watching the game on Sunday.  Maybe this is why McDermott said starting Peterman was the right decision.  But I think that's giving him way too much credit.  He might be a young coach, but he strikes me as a dinosaur who's not going to make it past 3-4 years as a head coach..

    In fairness, if you are this frustrated maybe take a break from the team for a while?  It's going to probably get a lot worse before it gets better.

     

    How can you seriously suggest this?  What fan of a sports team takes a break?  That is really **** advice IMO.

     

    If you're not a Kool-Aid drinker take a break from the team?  wat?

    It will take several years.  Don’t see this regime making it through.  The Jets seem way ahed of us and they have a 100 mil in cap space next year.  

     

    Yeah, Beane fell asleep while counting all his draft capital, the Jets move up to #3 will ultimately cost him his job.
