McDermott D

[Buffalogic]

This d is so much better with an aggressive leader. Frazier should have been fired a long time ago. These guys are making plays all over the field. The pressure is great and von is waiting in the wings. A lot to be excited about.

Hopefully we'll all feel the same in a week.

I mean, it was the Commanders with an inexperienced QB. Mike McDaniel is a millennial nerd boy dweeb, but he knows NFL offense. We aren’t getting 9 sacks and 5 turnovers against him. We only win if we get touchdowns instead of FG’s and can manage 1 or 2 turnovers that become points.

Re: McDermott D

Listen, I'm not going to **** on Frazier, what's the point, he did the best job he could.

Lets focus on what the players are saying, or what the beat reporters are reporting from the players themselves. The theme I've picked up on is how some of them, like Greg Rousseau, are talking to the coach way more now than they have before. Bernard said something similar, like he's there, hands on, and they all like it and they're responding. It's still early, but good results so far. I was kind of shocked at how little they felt they knew the coach based off of some of these comments, feel like the unit is really coming together.

Also like how Rousseau basically said McD told him look, sometimes you just have to run through a guy, pound his ass and don't get cute. Love it.

So why aren’t you ****ting on Frazier? He held this d back and gave us 13 seconds. That should have been our Lombardi.

Because it's done, it's over, nothing's changing the past. I mean we still had to win 2 more game to win the whole thing. Time turn the page.

Why turn the page? I hold sports grudges long and hard. I never let go. Frank Wycheck, Brett Hull… I relish the day I can dance on their graves. Frazier isn’t that level but I fully believe he cost us a championship.

If we sack tua 9 times he'll be in concussion protocol

Re: McDermott D

If 12 points a game is all we need to beat, we will win a lot.

But we will be lucky to sack him 2x

Re: McDermott D

Who's afraid of the big bad fish, the big bad fish, the big bad fish... Not me. Stats normalize, chances they break out for 40+ again are small especially against an opponent who has owned them. At the end of the year if they're great they'll be slightly outside the curve at the high end, but not by 20+ points. If they are they're a Super team. Not buying it.

I don't think anyone wanted to crap on Frasier. His D was quite good. But i think it had the wrong mentality. It was bend, don't break. It wasn't about winning. It was about not losing. That's the WRONG mindset in competition. McDermott is about attacking. And i think guys like Rousseau, a genuinely kind human being who also happens to be a physical freak, kind of need that aggression from their coach. Aggression that these guys are clearly responding to.

If McDermott was our DC in 2021, the Chiefs don't win the 13 second game. That's the truth.

Smart Josh, Aggressive D and 12 personnel (sometimes adding even a 6th OLman to the mix) is our recipe.

LETS GO!

We've been a finesse team. It almost worked. But it didn't.

Now it's time to beat the crap out of people.

Yup.

I have nothing else to add. That was our Lombardi.

And it was the Broncos. Miami isn't putting 70 points on the board against Buffalo.
