Mike McDaniel might be drunk, jesus.
Sure sounds like a dude who's relapsed. Fucking awful for him, might be time to go back to rehab and reevaluate whether his career is itself a barrier to his sobriety.
 
The kind of hammered you only get when you know your ass is on the hottest of hot seats.

Methinks he knows he’s done, it’s just a matter of “Does he make it to the end of the season, or do the Dolphins pull the plug earky?”
He's so inside his own head and caught up on some hyper specific thing that it all comes out as gibberish. That's anxiety cranked up to an 11, which tracks. He's got no control of his football team and is facing the type of problems that can't be fixed by running some innovative play. Especially when his innovative plays haven't worked all that great or consistent for the last 2 years or so.

He's trying to work out that shit in his brain when the only real solution is to stop being a pussy and become a hardass. Or at least a hardass to SOME extent. Like Jesus Christ. You have a good special teams play and your team immediately goes out there and gives up a more impressive special teams play. That's outright embarrassing and a calling card for teams that rest on their own laurels. Which is his fucking vibe incarnate.
 
The incompetent GM is buddies with Ross on some level or he's spooked about the optics of firing a black GM, considering he survived both Gase and Flores getting fired.
Grier has been with the FO 25 years. In Miami. He definitely has a video of Ross snorting cocaine out of a horse's vagina or something.

Reid's the dude who calls the weirdest plays. Like how often do you see mesh routes in the NFL? He's stolen Shanny's ghost screens too.

McDaniel tried to solve football. He failed. Every DC knows you can just contain Tua on the left and have the LBs move into coverage immediately.

He comes across as a guy who has no idea who to blame, what to blame or offer any actual solution. He is flailing around having no idea what to actually say about the situation.

I wonder if he is just deliberately trying to steer everything into the ground so he can get fired as quickly as possible.
Speaking of NFCN QBs who sucked today, JJ ain't looking too hot against the Falcoons.
JJ isn't the only Viking who is sucking right now. Jefferson looks like shit. Most of the offense looks like they have no direction. This team is coming across as the most disorganized team since O'Connell became the head coach.

Making bold predictions 2 weeks in retarded but all the data suggests the NFC North pecking order for this season feels established as:
Packers
Lions

The most averagest team as a 50th percentile marker on the graph


Vikings/Bears literally who cares?
Dolphins as our 32nd of 32 teams.

I don't think he's doing it intentionally, but it seems like it's the drawback of a young head coach. Especially one with his zoomer-tier personality type. He's never been in a situation where he was the leader. Where the buck stopped with him. I think he's cycling through ever possible solution in his brain, but it simply isn't there because he was never equipped to find the type of solution he needs here. The dude can probably be a hell of a coordinator. Maybe even earn another HC job down the line, but it's clear as day that he wasn't or isn't ready to gameplan AND run a locker room.

Six sacks is alot. I wasn't watching the game so I'm not sure where responsibility falls for those. Probably a mix of everything I'm sure, but the Falcons didn't do themselves any favors with 5 frickin' field goals. A good team would have taken advantage of that shit on both sides. Scoring more than 15 points over 55-ish minutes, or stealing the game away because the other team never capitalized on their drive beyond field goals.

He comes across as the type of head coach who probably needed a disastrous first coaching tenure to help forge him to be a more successful one in the second. It is why I am not really ready to write him off yet as a coach. How much of the problem is his fault is up for debate. The issue is what lessons will he take away from this experience moving forward, and if he has the capability of implementing them.

After 2 weeks what we have learned is that the Lions have fallen off but not as far as we thought last week. And that, maybe the Packers are a serious contender. If they stay healthy (Sorry just jinxed it)
 
Eagles pulled a W but was with my in laws. I actually turned the game off, that intro was fucking embarrassing. It was so sloppy, I felt a need to take another man's remote and turn sports off.

Then I brought out his bourbon to ease our suffering, I'm pretty much the worst house guest Don't like your show and time for fancy booze.

I didn't watch really, wasn't being silly the first quarter was just highschool it was bad. I'm shocked and this is NOT even if they played perfectly, you can't back to back fuck up. I don't see playoffs if they do it.
 
Uh excuse me he looked really good against the Bears for one quarter and, oh, Goff put up 50 on the Bears today? Hm.

He's booty cheeks. Enjoy hell, Viking bros.
I know this thread has a lot of fans of other NFC North teams and maybe I'm a tad biased because I first got into football around the time the '98 Vikings happened and John Randle was my favorite player as a kid, but the dude's played like 9 quarters of professional football so far, let's not write him off quite yet.

This is what I love about Philly sports fans. Any other team beats the perennial SB champs, in their own stadium, and send them on a full on spiral at 0-2, and their fanbase would be ecstatic. Not us though!

I don't say that to be deprecating, I completely agree, we looked fucking awful out there, Saquon Barkley is Saquon Barkley, but we've got 2, arguably 3 star WRs that have been starving these past two weeks, we can't just soley rely on him and Jalen's legs forever. And our defense is not the same team that ass raped Mahomes in the SB. I understand we lost some key guys but Vic Fangio's gotta bring out the whips and chains if they think that level of play is acceptable. Adoree Jackson should be flailed Kunta Kinte style in front of the Foles statue at The Linc.

That said I really liked what I saw from Mukuba, and other than a penalty or two Jihaad Campbell looked pretty good for a rookie too.
