McDermott was essentially asked if he was out-coached by BB.
McDermott replied: "Let's not give more credit than we need to give credit to Bill Belichick in this one. Whether it's Bill or anybody else -- they beat us, right? You sit here and you tell me when we start with an average starting field position at the 40-yard line and he starts at the 23-yard line -- and I'm rounding up in both cases -- and we were 1 for 4 in the red zone, and they were 0 for 1 in the red zone? You give me that ahead of time then I like my chances. I like my chances. So, with all due respect, it's not a Bill Belichick-type thing."
He basically said - "Let's not give Belichick credit. His team started at the 23 yard line and mine started at the 40 yard line on average. We were 1-4 in the red zone and his team was 0-1 in the red zone. I like my chances with those odds."
That's great Sean, except YOU LOST... the reason you weren't out-coached is because you had better opportunities to win than your opponent and didn't? How does that make any sense???
Boggles my mind. This is like if two guys ran a race, and the guy who lost was asked "do you feel that the guy who beat you is a better runner than you?" and the loser said "no, he deserves no credit. He had to run 100 meters and I only had to run 70 meters. He tripped and fell and I didn't. He still beat me anyway, but don't credit him, I like my chances in that situation."
