Why don't we know how to win?

[MikePJ76]

Could be the head coach.

 

After all he is the guy responsible for Breaking Jerry Jones playoff drought in 2009.  As the eagles DC his D got torched two weeks in a row to end the season costing them the division and then losing the wild card game.  

 

He just simply can not change what he can not overcome...at least not here.  

 

Hearing McDermott say Allen played well enough for the team to win the last weeks makes my head explode.  I dont ever want to hear him speak or talk about this team again.  I hope they just play it out and then decide to part ways in January.  Lots of coaching changes coming around the league this offseason so it is better to get a head start.  

 

and my hot take is absolutely no one from the Andy Reid tree or the Bill Belichick Tree.

McDermott record in OT:

1-5

Only win was 2017 rookie head coaching year.

 

What about 3 points or less games?

What about 1 score or less games?

 

If McDermott's team didn't demolish the opponent like they were supposed to most weeks... McDermott is the reason this team cannot succeed.

 

I am now finally convinced after today.

Because Bills Stadium is built on sacred Indian burial ground?

We did have Native Americans doing a war dance of sorts on the field last week during half time against the Jets....maybe trying to exercise the poltergeist?

At this point, it almost doesn't matter if McD has had bad luck, or really does pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

It has become ingrained in this team while he is HC.  If every one of us fans is thinking "how are we going to mess this up" w/ a few minutes left & a lead, it's a good bet the players have a similar mindset.

 

It continues until we string together a few improbable wins, or have a change at HC.

I’m getting cozy with the comfort that Allen is just Phillip Rivers. Try it, it makes more sense. 
 

His turnovers is a MAJOR problem. Sure, throw three picks when it’s a shootout and the Bills can win the game 38-35. But yeah, that never happens either huh. Another 4th guarded INT on the wrong side of the 50 in a close game. Philly turned it into 7, easily. Allen is a dimwit.

Rivers isn't half the quarterback and to discuss it further is not worth anyone's time.

[4th&long]

Because we don’t play to win. We play not to lose.

[Kaenon]

I'm sure you are too.

👍 

We've got other things as well to keep us uplifted.

 

[Charles Romes]

Jets- Defense fails to hold touchdown lead against Zach Wilson late in the fourth

Pats - Defense fails to hold 3 point lead in last minute, giving up a TD. 
Broncos - Defense fails to hold lead on last drive

Eagles - Defense fails to hold 3 point lead last minute

Eagles - Defense fails to hold 3 point lead in overtime. 

[RiotAct]

you kidding???  I could go for several more losses just like this one!

Why do these comments always bring out the crazies that want to compare every little tiny minute detail of the comparisoneés games.
 

One day, probably in like 4 years of not winning the Super Bowl, you’ll see.

 

Allen, for whatever reason…. is drowning in bad beats. There’s no way he’s accepting them in a vacuum. Rivers’s teams suffered stupid loses. Allen’s teams suffer stupid loses. That’s the extent of that comparison. Not arm strength and foot speed.

Got to give all the refs $1,000,000.00 to win

The Eagles are filled with national champions. We have guys with traits. We also don’t have HS state champions. Winners know how to win. 

Very interesting point. We’re stocked with potential winners with great intangibles. Other teams just have outright winners.

Hahaha. It’s what it is. Allen is fine with it sitting over there on the big white bench all by himself all game long. 

[technobot]

Our defensive minded head coach can't engineer a stop when it matters. 

 

We do silly things/take silly penalties/come up small and keep teams in the game. Good teams punish us for this. Even bad teams come through when we insist on playing to their level.

 

We play tighter as the moment becomes bigger and seek out new, implausible ways to lose.

 

IMO it's our culture. They all own it. We've seen everyone from Allen and Diggs through the bottom of the roster make just the awful plays or inexplicably not come through on a wide open type play.

 

We'll always have 2020-2022 but that iteration never won big either. We need a new coach/system and a culture reset. Clock's always ticking in the land of Not For Long. It feels like we're wasting a franchise quarterback otherwise.

Answer me this...

What is McDermott's head coaching record in OT?

NOT-GOOD

[Wayne Arnold]

Time after time, the defense has no idea how to stop teams at end-of-game situations and come away with victorious stops.

 

That is not a good look for the defensive head coach.
