Add this into his inprobable list of blown close games.  

 

It's comical at this point.  He should show some honor and resign

He’d never do that. It’s just easier scamming the Pegulas and fan base for more dough and empty speeches.

 

I do agree it’s extremely comical at this point, and I can’t believe I’m saying this…worse than before. Incredible feat.

 

The ultimate blockhead.

You do understand that fron the sideline it is difficult (if not impossible) to count all your down linemen. At the very least someone upstairs should have alerted McD to the 12 men.

And done what?  That the thing thats so annoying.  Everyone in the stadium knew the fire drill was coming.  We had plenty of time to prepare. And we still screwed it up.  Lack of attention to detail all night.  
 

So many things went wrong, but it’s tough to lose that way.  I do feel as if we got the short end on two big calls (saw it in stadium only; just got home and no tv replay yet).  Perhaps the one comfort is that we probably will be ready to check sentimentality at the door and reload after this year.

A billionaire fracking mogul doesn't strike me as kitty cat, he is a bit fat I suppose.

They blew it, and it starts and ends with McD. This team is not mentally prepared for ANY situation

I agree. My point is that the blunder is likely on the asst coaches. To some extent that's on McD as HC. In any event, the staff needs to work out why these late game blunders happen and take corrective action.  BTW I'm not a McD homie. I'm just pointing out that it's not the HC's responsibility to make sure that the FG team does not have too many players.

Tank for Harrison! 

[Eastport bills]

His defense was great. The effort was incredible and it all gets wiped out by a penalty that’s just an attention to detail failure.  The HC is always responsible. The fact that Josh was not mentally ready to play a must win game is also a big problem. The idea that Cook couldn’t be stopped and he was benched for most of the 1st half, is a problem. Sean will get another job either as HC or a DC, but he can’t stay here.

Taking zero responsbility in the post game.

Let me guess: “we didn’t play complimentary football”?

[LarryMadman]

Said it before, I believe this team has the horses to win it all but the coaches are holding them back. Evidence again tonight, how long does this broken record have to keep playing before Terry gets a new record.

I agree completely

This might be a fireable offense.

The FG team is determined pre-game. You send the FG team out. Who thinks to count your men? That's why I think the late injury messed up the FG team.

There is a designated special teams captain that has the responsibility to count the players on the field.

 

Also, they knew more likely than not a FG would be attempted so they should have everyone ready to go on the sidelines.

 

HUGE ***** UP!

If McDermott or Dorsey have a job at lunchtime tomorrow, you know that whoever is running this clown show must be incapacitated.

 

I really hope they are dead men walking.

 

But even if Terry/Beane decide it's over for McD, they will wait until they are eliminated from the playoffs.

 

Which, I'm fine with. This year is a wash if you change coaches now anyway.

 

We need a offensive guru HC and there aren't any of those that can install a new offense over the bye week.

Defence was great until they need a stop in a clutch situation.

 

So typical .

 

Jacksonville, Patriots, bengals last week, now this week where they need a stop in the 4th and can’t get it done

Our D has been in a situation of needing a stop 5 times in the last 6 games. They only stopped Tyrod. This is a continuous problem that keeps getting overlooked because our O is struggling so bad. 

[KHAN]

When was the last time we lost a good, well played, hard fought game. Most of our losses are complete debacles.

[Bray Wyatt]

McD was hired basically bc he is the opposite of Rex Ryan. Rex lost a game by only having 10 people on the field, McD looses a game by having 12.

And I think you couldnt be more wrong. It's mcd's operation and he failed....again

[Dr.Sack]

To be fair Denver was allowed to swap personnel 

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

Don't get me wrong, the players made a LOT of mistakes tonight, but 12 men on the field there is a fireable mistake. 

 

We had used back to back timeouts after Broncos kneeldowns and McD had ~5 minutes of real time to figure out what to do. The decision was to have 12 men on the field.
