Josh McDaniels should’ve been interviewed!

Were you that impressed by his ability to call 99% run plays tonight?

Absolutely. The last time we ran the ball more than 30 times was against Atlanta, and we won. Joe Brady couldn't get away from passing the ball. All he had to do was run it. And against Atlanta, nobody complained about the O-line play. People actually praised how well they played. Every O-linemen has more fun running the ball. That's why Brady was shown the door.

Just because he is a very good OC doesn't automatically make him a good HC.

It's almost like some of you can't remember why he is a terrible HC and HC candidate. There is actually proof why that would have been a horrible idea.

Unless he's grown leaps and bounds as a man and a coach from his time with the Broncos, no he shouldn't have. McD was low key every bit the trainwreck with the Broncos that Lane Kiffen was with the Raiders, Broncos ownership was just smart enough not to air out the dirty laundry in full public view.

It's so easy! All we gotta do is call running plays and we win all the games!

I think Matt Rhule just got his game plan for Atlanta.

In his defense that’s basically what he did to Atlanta the first game.

Anyone who can't see the red flags with Josh McDaniels is not someone I want choosing our coach.  This isn't to say the guy isn't a good coordinator.  He clearly is.  But he's not head coach material.

Also play the worst run defense in the league every game. Brilliant!

Way better than what we have now. JS

As an OC? Yes, even when we had an OC. Not close at all.

As a HC? Same difference. Do not want.

After his first head coaching stint I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig team to gamble on his next attempt.

Absolutely. I wish that was our offense.

They ran it and Buffalo knew it. Hell yes he knows how to game plan around stuff, when was last time we’ve had that?

I'm impressed by coaches who make the calls that lead to wins. 

It's not about being cute. It's about winning. 

Yeah he developed a gameplan that was good enough to win.  He did his job.  Doesn't mean I'm in awe of his Madden-style spamming of run plays over and over in 50 mph winds when he has a dominant defense, special teams, and o-line to rely on.  That's basically Rivera's dream gameplan there; the only difference is Rivera didn't have the personnel to pull it off.

I think McDaniels is a good offensive coordinator, I just don't think last night's game elevates him to godlike status which I'm apparently in the minority about.

Belichick is still pulling all the strings

Wrong.

That was terrible offensive football.  It was admitting that Jones didn't have the arm to throw in that wind.  That's all it was.  The game was tight.  There is no excuse.  It's not like the Pats put the game out of reach running.  They were a couple dropped passes away from losing the game.

That's an offense Ron Rivera would be proud of.  BS.  It was a terrible display by a team that effectively admitted the limitations of their rookie QB.  This was a game the Patriots simply didn't lose.  Which is very different than saying they won it.

Barely 200 yards of total offense?  Come on.
