Is Sean McDermott in Bill Belichick's head?

he's 3-7 against him, so probably not

3-1 the last 4...

Yeah, "rent free" or whatever the cool kids were saying last week. 😉

[Royale with Cheese]

He is now.  
 

After McDermott’s comments after the hurricane, I think Belicheck took that a little personal and wanted to beat us down yesterday.

How is McD doing the last two seasons?

 

3-1

[eball]

Of the 10 McD/BB matchups since Sean became HC yesterday was probably the closest we’ve seen to a “fair fight” in that you had two playoff teams late in the season.  Perhaps the late 2019 game fits that bill as well.  BB certainly hasn’t “owned” McD when both have had competent teams.

 

2017 — Brady vs. Tyrod

2018 — Brady vs. Anderson, Brady vs. Rookie Josh (insignificant last game of season)

2019 — Brady vs. Josh x2, both close games

2020 — Josh vs. Newton x2

2021 — Windstorm, Josh vs. Jones

The dumbest statement Matthew Fairburn has ever made.

The real Billy Bellicheat is a .500 career Head Coach, with serial cheating behind his record of "victories", along with favor shown by officials.  It's a joke really his career trajectory is now mirroring that of the dishonorable Chuckles Fairbanks.  It's not just a hot take it's the cold hard facts he's never really won anything, everything is tainted by so many gates, and the more animosity Boston fans had the worse it looked yesterday.

[Freddie's Dead]

So Bill, since I'm doing a story on influencing the weather, any truth to the rumors that you are consulting with NASA about cloud seeding or other methods to produce 50 MPH winds when you travel to Buffalo for the playoffs?

[Hebert19]

Well I saw a stat from Boston reporter that since 2017 McDermott has all but eliminated passing from patriots.  Something ridiculous like 4TD and 11 INT.  

[PromoTheRobot]

For all the grief McDermott took for his post game comments after the first Pats game, local Boston media is in it's own denial phase today. Saying it was a one-time good game by Allen and that he can't be counted on to perform.

McDermott looks like a genius today but Allen saved his ass yesterday. A lot of questionable decisions yesterday..going for it on multiple 4th down calls.

Yep. The Bills defense has played New England tough since McDermott got here. The games we have lost have mainly been on the offense. But Allen, Diggs and Lil' Dirty all balled out yesterday.

He coached angry yesterday and that's the coach we need going forward.  

Its a fine line between ANGRY (emotional) and calculating aggressive coaching.  I am hoping that its the later in McD's case.   On this point, its my understanding that the analytics folks are saying that teams should go for it on 4th down more than they do these days in order to win more.....in that case, we are certainly practicing that with McD's calls these days. (analytic approach emphasized here)  Worked out yesterday anyhow.

I don't think anyone is in Bill's head but if there is its Brady. 7-6 when keeping score.

or were they ? questionable ?

 Methinks not my friend.

[MJS]

Belichick has not adjusted how he defends Allen and that has been his downfall. It's not about keeping Allen contained in the pocket anymore. Josh is an elite passer now.

I admire the guts..but we were up 5 points on that 4th and 1 call. If Josh doesn’t make that play, The Pats stop us with an opportunity to win the game, late. We would be singing a different tune today. If that would of happened. Glad it didn’t but it was risky as hell. Thank God for Josh making a play because the Pats had it defended pretty well.

McD believed his team would succeed.
analytics be damned lol. 
 But the defense was playing pretty hot just in case pats had to go the whole field. these are not the days of Brady and his offense

 Go Bills
