Saxum Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Fans can't figure out to be quiet when we are in offense (unless they are in beer lines). Find a way! (oh Covid-19 virus may solve issue since we may be playing with no fans) 1
BillsVet Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 McD's job title needs to change from Head Coach to Chief Executive Officer.
BillsNutHawaii Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I like the strategy, it’s great - I don’t like the HC sharing all this information.... it can only help our opponents. No need to teach our opponents how they can also develop a competitive advantage. That’s one reason why Belicheck is so successful - he keeps his lips sealed (To the greatest extent possible - not withstanding media requirements). I know, queue the “Belicheat” moniker, but when you think about it, doesn’t “Find a way” essentially mean “anything goes” ??? I’m not implying anything, just throwing it out there for thoughts / discussion. 1

Happy Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 He sure comes up with some good platitudes, these need to be transferred into winning key games (vs Pats, playoff caliber teams in the regular season, playoff caliber teams in the playoffs). 2 1

But my line of work (US Army) for 26 years made me that way - that’s my (lame) excuse. On another but similar note, HC John Harbaugh came to my Command (HQ, INDO-PACOM here on Oahu in Hawaii) to speak with senior leaders about military planning, strategy, operational concepts with the purpose of modifying and implementing these tactics into his football operation. In return he also shared some of his organizational practices with us. So in summary, the “over analysis” as you put it, has been and currently is quite prevalent in the NFL. 2

Mister Defense Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 I don't like it. It is an expression that is used in situations when you are up against it or desperate. Screw the strange motto; that in itself doesn't fit with this team. The motto should be: No More Mottos

If you read the article and listened to the interview with the HC there was much more to it than the motto..... I also replied to another comment in this thread about John Harbaugh and a meeting with him ... you may find it enlightening about how the modern NFL is functioning ....and then perhaps you’ll come to the conclusion my remarks aren’t really a stretch, or believe what you want, I’m certainly not pushing you.... I’m just here to share in pleasant exchanges 1

What did he say in the interview that wasn't in the article that makes you think he's giving other teams a competitive advantage?
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Not the most inspiring, but winning is all that matters.
MrEpsYtown Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 It’s a little cheesy, but I thought “playoff caliber” was cheesy as well, so as long as we win I don’t care what the motto is.

I would just never reveal my tactics / strategy to an opponent ...nothing good can come out of it..... Bill Belicheck keeps his mouth shut and the results speak for themselves .... and that goes well beyond football
