Entering the year the entire conversation around McDermott revolved around the playoffs. We had the Offside in KC, Shakir catch in SD, turnover fest vs NE, and a punt return TD against Miami. Sure we had plenty of plays go against us earlier in the year, but this is what has happened during our winning streak and as a result people want to assign McD credit to the extent that many have already determined this season was a success.
If we drop out in the divisional round in the weakest year the AFC has had since Josh has been around I can’t view this year as a success. This was never about the regular season. McD has never had regular season issues. He has had postseason issues. That is where we need to see things change and some of you don’t and that’s fine, it’s just crazy to me how cocky the fan base has gotten with McD being the “right guy” when we haven’t even played a playoff game this year. We say in one hand Allen is among the top 3 and many take offense if you don’t give him the #1 nod but we can’t win an AFC championship.
I hope it changes but I can’t make sense out of why people think it already has.
