Don’t worry Sean, next year you can join me on the couch and complain about the next DC. If McDermott was the one who called the defensive alignments during the Bears last drive, he should already be at home on the couch.

I’m actually happy with the way he has molded a halfway decent defense while we continue to see player after player go to IR.

But here’s where he lost me. If you watched this game, you know we destroyed Cutler in the first half (6 sacks, 2 turnovers, 7 pts allowed), but the Bears made halftime adjustments (something we’ve never seen in 18 years in Carolina), and Cutler wasn’t touched in the second half. Asked about the Bears adjustments, McDermott said, “If they adjusted, I didn’t see it.”

Wow. Seriously?

Like I said, he’s done a pretty good job this year. But he, along with Rivera, Chud and the rest of the staff, will be unemployed as soon as we hire a GM. A shame, because I think McDermott can coach.

McDermott acted like he invented the game when he was DC in Philly, the boy genius who understood defense in ways that poor slobs like us could never possibly understand. It figures he’d be praising his defense the Monday after they blew a lead. The ego on this guy is enormous.

Carolina, like the Eagles need a total house cleaning including the hot dog vendors.

Classic Eagles. Win the stat game but put up fewer points than your opponent. There was and always will be only one Jim Johnson. Obviously it transfers over to other teams as well.

Sounds like the DC is calling out the Offense for not putting more points on the board.

This guy is a joke! You’re now big talking after a couple of decent games by the defense? Where were you last year and before that in Philly when you had horrible defenses? You had the worst defense in the league last year and the last game you let the Bears easily march down the field on the last drive calling the same EXACT play over and over.

And now you don’t want to be questioned? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Juan Castillo’s defense was putting up decent numbers and losing late. See where it got him?
