It was fun. I was only a lurker back then here but that year was magical on many levels. It's just rough now. Being bored during the season is just too damn brutal and doing it continuously is worst. I just want this season to end so we can talk about better football than I can really hope for yet.

I think it's an alt but sometimes life just surprises you I guess. It's a comical take IMO. I can't tell if they really belive it or are spoofing that take. Either way you are right, fan how you want. It's been really bad around here since we all found out JR was a sh$tbag so it's no real surprise people are extreamly volatile after 5 years of nose dive from the heights of mediocrity. If it gets unbearable then just hit the ignor button and let others deal with it.

It's a head coaching gig. It's all prove it regardless. I have zero interest in watching more of that kind of football. We can do better and we should try.

You are not. Fug the Boys and the Jones. I just wouldn't watch and go do something fun if I thought it was going to be such a bad game, just like I did back in 2008.

You are correct. Lots of fans were happy to see him go to Arizona after seeing the giant step back the D took going from McD to Wilks. When he was under consideration for that gig it was kind of a running joke about Arizona taking someone that wasn't qualified to do his current job let alone a promotion.

No new boss of his will care about what Rhule stole here. If Tepper does have any tears he can wipe them away with all the money us fans throw at him. Will they care about him helping to oust and then replace their last boss? Maybe and then again maybe not. I was just raising the possibility as I am not thrilled with the idea of making Wilks as DC part of the package for the new HC, especially if it is a 1st time HC and we want to get away from Ron ball.

To us fans? Hell yes. To his new boss? Well that is a little more complicated.

His actions made him absolutely firable but Wilks was open about how bad it was and helped to oust Rhule by having an option to replace him. Wilks was very critical of Snow which was who proped up Rhule and then fired Snow first thing with Tepper's blessing. Anyway you cut it Wilks was part of the internal friction during that process. Not saying he was wrong at all just something to be mindful of if they try to make Wilks part of the new HC's hiring requirements.

He only deserves it if he is better than the compitition and there are better options out there. This isn't about fair because that is a simplified concept for children before they learn how complicated reality really is. He should have earned the right to a new job next year and that is a massive upgrade for him over last year.

I like Wilks but I wouldn't saddle a new HC with the guy who helped get the last one fired. I do want to see him in the league but I'm not sure here is great for everyone moving forward if he isn't the new HC.

I would honestly be more excited to dump more bad contracts (Thomas comes to mind) and get over the dead cap in 2023. They won't do it because the people who helped dig this hole are still trying to impress Tepper with their genius understanding of wasting cap in the future without a franchise QB on their 2nd contract to force you to need to do so.

He isn't worth top money but he is still a good player. The fact we need to bring in a better DE to compensate for him really tells the tale of what we should have and should do with Burns. Riddick is out there destroying the Burns is a exceptional player myth.

Then we need to dump those supporters also after the last game. Hurney's ghost lives on still. We can and should try to do better and I am already exhausted looking into our past this year. Wilks does not compare well to the top candidates out there IMO. I would even rather have Reich over Wilks. We desperately need outside help or the duds brought into our front office will ruin this shot at competency yet again.

Anyone we bring in has a chace of failure, it's unavoidable. I would feel a lot more comfortable if we could figure out how it went so bad so fast up there. Do not let a first year crew do a mega trade is the one lesson I can clearly see. The risk is way too high and I'm not certain they can recover from that move now.

We have seen leader of men fail on gamedays too often here. We saw the dud of what a nonleader and nonstrategy looks like in Rhule. Taking a shot on an offinsive candidate is the best case scenario for us. There are no guarantees but I can't muster anymore cares for leaders of men who are just bad at strategy. Steichen, find a new bridge QB, draft a project QB in the first or DE with trade up for a project QB. Not sure on FA or DC. I wouldn't mind a move to 3-4 but I'm not thrilled about a huge contract for Burns and staying in 4-3 unless we bring in a really good strongside DE to pair, it's not on the roster yet.

If it is in ongoing treatment it should be listed? I get what your saying and agree to a certain extent but how many guys in the NFL are 100% most weeks in this part of the season? Link This one says he did not practice and not injury related/resting player. IDK, weird. If it was 20 years ago I would just laugh at the injury report because it seemed a lot more common to just lie back then. He looks about the same to me overall.

He hasn't been on the injury report since week 11 and that was with an elbow designation. Week 7 was the last time knee was listed for him. Link

I don't think it's got paid syndrome but he is just a good and not great player. When he got his deal he was the only Oline player worth playing so we really didn't have a choice to not keep him. I see Ickey making rookie plays and mistakes, like that safety pushing him over SMH, but I see Moton making those bad plays in his 6th year. He has some good matchups and bad matchups throughout the year but overall he is still a good player who is going to get beat on occasion. He certainly isn't a Chandler or Bell lol.

Meh, win and Panther fans would go. We are at 5 win at the end of the season so Wilks can ask but it's just not good enough. There will always be opposing fans but one of those franchise are on the cusp of their first losing season in a long time and the other is in it's 4th 5 win season. This is on ownership and not the fans.

It's not really a tank but just acknowledging the reality of the situation and begging for the mercy to make it end for the year.

Riddick was ok and he is right there for a resonable price. Burns isn't top shelf but he is good enough. He shouldn't get a top contract, he hasn't earned it.

Embarrassing football is all the NFCS is this year and whoever takes the crown is just the biggest loser. None of these teams are worth watching in the postseason.

I want to see us clean house but we need a new direction in the coaching staff at the minimum.
