We had that game in total control and he goes full pussy mode and easily could have lost on a hail mary. This doesn't even feel like a win.

I'm kind of done with Sean, he's holding the team down more than anybody (except Josh when he is playing stupid).

See my previous fire McDermott thread
I came.
I saw.
I conquered.
Yes. I’ve been on and off the fence but I’m off on the side of the team would prosper without him and his pet chimp Dorkey
Tough to suck the joy out of a victory like McD has done throughout his tenure here.
I get. You're up by 14 with 10:00? to go on Baker Mayfield, so punt it. Hell no, go for it on 4th and two. Seal the game on that play and celebrate before the final whistle.
No. That's not a McD's team, or a championship one

I won't blame him for Phillips acting like a moron on that 4th down play. The game would have been over and the Bills would have won 24-10.

I’m so sick of being in the shotgun inside the 5 yd line. We have the perfect QB for sneaks and play action. If you need a yard, play football like a bully.
Thurmal (10-27-2023)
This has happened far to many times during his tenure. He turns easy wins into almost loses. I want a coach who kicks the opponent in the face when he has them down.

That's on the OC. Call that play, I hated that shotgun run. And I mean this is a clear indication that McD doesn't trust his OC/O. I mean statistically over the last 4 years McD is one of the most aggressive 4th down playcallers in the league. But when you see the stupidity on O at times, and with the Buc looking incompetent for most of the night (I mean their last scoring drive took like 7 minutes), you'd probably punt too.
I hated the punts, basically said what we all know, we aren't good enough to overcome such a small failure.

You guys want to really laugh our offensive numbers based on Expected Points was better this past Sunday than Tonight, LOL.
You guys really want to put the game on the line with a Dorsey short yardage call? Haven’t you see those fail enough?

2 4th down stupid penalties extending the drive was the problem. As was said… it would been 24-10
notacon (10-27-2023)
We just might be the 1st team in NFL history that needs to hire a 3rd down and short offensive coordinator ..... Dorsey has just consistently proven he doesn't understand that part of the game.
It would be different if he screwed up once or twice every 20 attempts or so but he's averaging better than what seems like 50% or higher ..... that's not good enough and a change shoulda been made a long time ago.
I'm strictly referring to 3rd and very short.
McD always looks scared on the sideline. He coached scared in the AFCCG and the :13 choke job. That was enough for me.
I want everyone on this team to succeed, including the coaches obviously, but how many more years does he get? Same story, and same mistakes, every year.

A month straight of unwatchable, pathetic football. This was against inferior opponents too, with 3 of 4 being vastly inferior.
Two plays that stick out in my mind:
PLAY 1:
Right before the half. Tampa had already used their last time out. Their players are looking to Bowels on the sideline for what to do. Clock is down to 16 seconds, and it would be a 60 yard field goal.
So what does Opie do?
He calls timeout. If he lets the clock run, the half is over, just like the Giants game.
Instead, Tampa gets organized, and pretends to run a play. They eventually punt.
PLAY 2:
End of the game, Mayfield drops back to pass....sees nobody, and gets wrapped up for a sack, clock down to 6....5....4.
Oh Wait!!!
Opie called another of his patented "Oh shucks, let's give them another try" time outs. Put 12 seconds back on the clock, as the play never happened.
The game would have ended on that sack.
Instead, Mayfield completes an out pattern, then gets the Hail Mary with 4 ticks left.
He has pulled some boneheaded plays and called some silly time outs and challenges in the past, but this one takes the cake.
He's not learning from his mistakes, and he's coaching scared.
And then there's Dorsey:
Shotgun on the six inch line again.
WR screens that put us in 2nd and 11.
This team reminds me of the 95-96 Bills team.
They were still good, but the way some of the games came down to a last defensive stand, it was pretty clear that everyone else had either caught up with them, or surpassed them.
