After the Patsy game plan tonight maybe mCd should have taken a HC gig before he gets fired by Belly.

Is Belichick ever going to retire? I wonder if McD knows something others don't? Beli taking a front office job while McD transitions to head coach would seem to be a smooth transition.. Who knows when Belichick will call it quits though.

Would be lovely to see McDaniels take over the Patriots head gig.

With Beli still pulling the strings behind the curtain things wouldn't be that much different tho probably.

I totally hated the thought of firing Shanny but now realize it was time. When Kraft does the same thing it will be with a new HC with a new system that gives them the best chance to win not more of the same. |

The last time I noticed mc Daniels does not coach the defense. Nor does he throw the picks that ulitmately cost them the game. Seems to me that there is a lot of unjustified hate going on. |

Do you realize how ridiculous it is to mock a player who outplayed one of your golden geezers and made a fool of both of them?

if the Patriots could ever learn to draft well and develop the guys they stock all those picks for they would be a sick team.
people ignored the failings for years because they got FA's the come in and replace guys they let go but it's piling up now. McDaniels didn't script the game plan well in the 2nd half but on some of those plays, the Ravens just wanted it more. you could see the hunger in their play, especially on that Ridley hit. |

The good news is you should be able to order a Canton High Tee Shirt when he ends up as their HC. If you did watch the game you would have seen how the Raven's were keying on what the Pats were doing and were able to get multiple passes batted at the LOS, hit and hurry Brady, and even force a holding call on Solder. The Ravens were able to cover WR's forcing Brady to run on 4th down, panic and end up throwing it away when he should have manned up and done everything he could have to get the 1st down, you know like Elway did in SB XXXII. I admit to missing the CiDtL option in garbage time. I figured they would have tried to push the ball downfield late behind 15, after all Orton was able to hit him on those garbage time bombs. Instead they kept throwing to Welker running crossing routes, when they finally got Welker down the field he was chased down by the guy he juked. Sure they missed Gronk and Riddley late (they were already down and ineffective when Riddley went out) but they still had Hernandez, Lloyd and Welker and they kept going to Welker 1st running the same O as in the 1st half. |

For what it worth those 400 hundred yards and 13 points sounds like that past 12-14 years. Face it the BAL defense was better prepared for both Denver and NE offenses. And in both cases their offense was better prepared than our defenses. We were out coached and our players were best at their own game. How many games have we lost over the past decade to teams that should have been easy wins? We lost this past game at the LOS. Mostly with their OL beating our DL. allowing Flacko all the time he needed to throw the long ball. |

The facts are neither NEs or Denver's OL are dominate and in DEN case have had issues in the red zone almost forever. This year was better but the facts are when Moreno went down we floundered. Now would Bal have taken him out of the game anyway? I guess we will have to wait till next year to know. BAl has a class GM and great HC and they have been building a solid franchise since they opened the doors. I can only hope that John E will be half the GM that Newsome is. |

It's so funny how much McDickless supporters will go out of their way to defend his pitiful performances.
I have even heard excuses for the Rams' No. 32 offensive showing in 2011. I don't care how poor the talent level is, a capable offensive coordinator finds a way to generate production better than 32. There's no defending being dead last, which the Rams were by a wide margin. |

Sure their defense showed up. But these wins are a result of an offense clicking on all cylinders. Credible journalists calling flacco elite after this season? I wouldn't have thought that. But he's balling right now. That offense smacked them right in the face while the pats offense looked pitiful at home when it counted most. |

There was an article about how the pats call in the plays quickly in their speed version of the no huddle based on options Brady is sent in over the head set and at the line, those are usually run plays or hot routes. They got away from this very early in the game, you would have seen this if you watched it. I highly doubt Brady would have audibled out of all of mCd perfect plays into plays that failed. It came down to execution just like our loss did. The fact that the Ravens were able to learn what the Pats were trying to do then cheat into better positions to break up their plays just proves that no adjustments (which mCd admitted to not believing in during a Bronco Presser) were made. Ravens had 2-3 bat downs at the LOS late in the 4th quarter. Also if you watched the game you would have noticed that when the Ravens went up 15 with like 8-9 minutes to go they dropped into deeper coverages taking away the quick strike, something Milus should have instructed our Safeties to do last game. When the Pats got inside the Ravens 30 the Ravens clamped down and were able to force a turnover on downs, a batted INT and a straight INT. mCd has always been a great garbage time coach, even Orton looked great with the game out of reach. It was what they didn't do with the game in reach that hurt them. To endlessly defend a guy who continues to fail at his last 3 stops just because you don't want to be wrong about him is insane. |

mCd should have let the phone ring and gone on interviews, not because he wanted an HC job now but to gain experience interviewing and forging new relationships.
One of his biggest short comings was his contact base in the NFL. He had to have his 1st DC suggested to him by his agent, his 2nd came from outside the NFL ranks. If he wants to have a successful career he needs to get out from under the Belly tree. Chances are Belly could retire, get fired, or need to offer up a scapegoat at some point if they do not continue to have success. The chances of a phone ringing after your team has failed is less than if you stay out and active on the radar. That said a poor interview could limit him also, especially in the closed loop that is the NFL, but to call around and tell guys not to call you is laughable. |
