Kincaid Kool-Aid

Yeah. It was on local CBS in Philly not a streaming service and they just kept going with the Cleveland game. They didn’t even bother cutting over once the Browns were in victory formation and then even showed the handshakes instead of the Bills game. Infuriating.

Same issue except I watched it directly on CBS network TV in Philly. So mad missing basically the first quarter and our first TD. At the very least they should have done a split screen. It’s not a youtube issue. CBS screwed the pooch.

RIP

Yes and no. The article says in many places McD treats his coaches and administrative staff like crap. This is not the mark of a high integrity person. That does get to his character and if true rips back the curtain on the persona he presents to the public of a decent christian man. And if he’s not that great a person, what are we doing? I suddenly feel a lot less bad getting rid of him since clearly he’s not learning from his mistakes on the football side.

Agree. Sure, it’s a hit piece in that it portrays McD and his leadership/behavior negatively. But bottom line though, if McD didn’t do any of what’s alleged, there’d be nothing to write about and this piece never gets written. As someone else said, you could call Bernstein and Woodward’s expose on watergate a hit piece too, but it doesn’t make it less valid. The whole point of the press is to hold those in power accountable (as objectively absurd as it is to compare the two situations of course!).

I guess he could lawyer up, but the stories cited in the article would need to be untrue. The 9/11 fiasco was already confirmed to be accurate by McD. Not sure why Dunne would straight up make things up if he expects to stay in business or avoid such a lawsuit.

Well said!

Yes, but the statement itself seemed less enthusiastic than one would expect from a captain and longtime player under McD in my opinion. Also, a reporter shoves a microphone in his face after practice. What is he supposed to say?

Exactly. Not exactly a ringing show of support by Hyde.

Ok, argue, debate, whatever synonym you choose frame the exchange, your opinion is not indisputable nor is it fact. I think we’re good here.

Here’s the thing though…it is arguable. Matter of fact, we’re arguing it right now. Not worth belaboring the point. Agree to disagree.

I guess we have to agree to disagree. Maybe as a defensive captain he felt compelled, particularly as nobody else seems to be rushing forward. As someone else said, for a guy who’s been here 6-7 years under McD, It felt like he was going through the motions and saying the minimum expected.

Disagree. I didn’t come away thinking there was a ton of passion. Felt like something he felt he had to say.

Agree. The fact that Allen has not come in hot to defend McD yet, at least that I can find, is very telling

While I'm not convinced McDermott should stay, this is very well said. I still think if McDermott can't show us something the rest of the way, time to move on and thank him for what he's done to turn the franchise around.

Wowza, I was always a sceptic of bringing Daboll back (if even possible) to replace McDermott given his struggles in NY and McDermott’s history of relative success. Just finished the whole article and half of it’s true, McD truly has to go after this year latest and we need to figure out a way to get Dabes back, or at least get a couch who will put the focus on building around Josh as it should be. Yeeshhh

This. Except all whites, not a fan of same color pants and jerseys…it’s just too much, especially if your colors are bright blue and red.

He and Bills brass had different ideas about tight ends. Hey-ohh!!!

Kincaid is like if MarQueis Gray and Jason Croom had a baby, but that baby got on the field and was good.

Von’s gotta be a scratch. Forget the off the field stuff, which is of course awful. Dude is a waste or space right now on the field until proven otherwise. This is a perfect chance to get him off the field for a multitude of reasons.

You mean to tell me that this guy is useless?!? The wingspan. The range of motion. The passion. Elite!

Beat me to it. Regardless if you think McDermott is terrible, not being on the same page with him is not a way to help things get better...

Really curious to see if this is the week we bring in playoff Lenny as a battering ram

What does a tie do for us?

Each of our losses have been terrible/crushing and inexcusable but last week’s is going to stay with me for a while. Maybe because I was in Philly at that game…watching the Chiefs then us blow it, and now seeing San Fran dominate is both cathartic and infuriating.
