I'm glad we have McDermott

Whats this about?

McDermott had been saying that there would be accountability all his career.

 

The ST coordinator and McD were on different pages. For one part 

 

The offense was fired up. Did all they could. I never got all the names, but know Diggs was chippy. After the game in the locker room players venting turned into aggression and blaming. Hughes defending the defense and being vocal. The players got chippy. McD having to calm that...

 

All the while no one quite sharing the info...

 

McDermott not addressing he was part of the problem on the decision to kick deep vs squib. The ST coach saying kick deep, bass arrives late. Misses McD making the call to squib. Coverage was squib kick per McD but bass never got the info because McD missed it.

 

Players knew this and it took a while to spread. Players were frustrated.

Marv is 100% the reason we lost SB 25.
 

Thurman Thomas: 135 yards rushing. On FIFTEEN touches. Give him the all 25 times, hell, 20!, and we win. 

I love Marv but I agree, if the Giants show you that offensive front and you have Thurmanator you just pound it all game. Thurman should’ve had a 240+ yard game and a SB win

You people have brain worms. "Our top-3 stud receiver who Josh loves can just leave." Absolute insanity. 

If it's going to be that big an issue for him he can go. What plays did he make today? I'll hang up and listen.

People are gonna be upset very emotional after a loss like this

I guess I'm just at peace with it today, but man some of these takes...

Sweet, let's go and gamble on a Matt Ruhle just because the grass is always greener. Hell, let's make Rex the head coach again. 

 

Frazier. 

If it's Frazier, then McDermott needs to address it.  But McDermott seems to be in perfect agreement running a base Nickle defense with few blitzes that gets steamrolled in the playoffs.

That’s fair, I didn’t like the matchup, but I’m still feeling somewhat unreasonable because I didn’t expect a blowout. It happens too much at home during the McD years.

I knew the Bengals were going to take our lunch and slam the locker door on our head after watching the Miami game. No more time needs to be wasted on this very average at best coaching staff.

To be fair, McDermott should be rigorously exit interviewed by the GM or the owner and what the next steps should be in improving the team. 

 

The teams performance today, sadly, was a direct reflection of the coach.  Paper tiger.

 

The playoffs are too big for him.

[McBean]

He’s horrible.

 

Fire him tomorrow.

The start of this game was no different than the start of the regular season game against Cincinnati.  You would have thought that we would have come up with something on defense for this game.

It's simple for me. McD is a good coach but he's not irreplaceable. Frazier needs be gone by the end of the week. If McD isn't on board, then he can go too

Agree, based on the Bills playoff performances since 2017, I guess we will simply need to accept with this coaching staff and fan base that "close enough is good enough".
