the list is only going to get bigger. He posted Screenshots of his conversation with Brady's trainer trying to make him look like a crook: AB texts the guy asking for a refund. Guy says, sure that's fair, let me know where to send the refund. AB: This guy is a crook! Dude is a clown.

I seriously can't comprehend how AB is garnering even a shred of the benefit of the doubt from some of these posters. A timeline of Events over AB's Career: •Kicked out of Florida International University after fighting a security guard •⁠"Don't touch me. I'm the franchise" • ⁠His second year in the league he took a personal stretch limo to a charity event, had them open every single expensive bottle of wine, rejected it.

FLY LIKE A FREEEEE!" • ⁠Made a lot of crazy tweets saying stuff like 'Devil is a lie', a proverb about burning down a village... he made a lot of crazy tweets around this time is the point here • ⁠Liked a tweet about Mayock getting raped in the ass • ⁠Signed with the Patriots • ⁠Moved in with Tom Brady • ⁠The sexual assault allegations came out (the one where he's getting sued) • ⁠The sexual harassment allegations came out (the one where he's not getting sued) • ⁠Threatened the woman not suing him in a group text that included his lawyer and had a picture of her kids in the text • ⁠Got released by the Patriots after one week • ⁠Went off on a tweet storm and said a lot of crazy poo about a lot of people, and was supportive of people sending threats to the writer of the article detailing the sexual harassment allegations • ⁠Said he was done with the NFL • ⁠Went back to college via online classes • ⁠Tried to outsource his homework to Twitter • ⁠Wants to come back to the NFL • ⁠Filed several grievances to try and get more than $40 million from the Raider's and Patriots • ⁠Was ordered to show up for a deposition regarding trashing the condo • ⁠Was accused of "reprehensible behavior" during the deposition Note: I cut the specifics about the deposition so I could fit this as a single comment. You can read more about it here if you're interested, because it, like everything else, is nuts • ⁠Said that the Patriots have to pay him anyway, so they might as well let him play • ⁠Tweeted a couple of bizarre tweets about the Raiders using him for HBO ratings and the Patriots trying to steal his stuff and kept using this weird chicken based metaphor • ⁠Tried out for the Saints and brought an entourage and film crew to shoot a music video with him when specifically told not to do that • ⁠Called out Robert Kraft for his rub and tug massage session in Florida • ⁠Starting training for a boxing match with Logan Paul • ⁠Tweeted "No more white woman 2020" • ⁠The attorney representing him in the suit involving the condo quit • ⁠Used a bunch of slurs and profane language towards cops in an Instagram video he posted • ⁠A police youth football league cut ties with him and returned a donation after the release of the video saying there was a "irreparable rift" between the department and AB • ⁠Threw a bag of gummy candy dicks at the cops in a video he posted • ⁠Got dropped by his agent • ⁠Was involved in a disputed with movers at his home where he allegedly threw rocks at the movers and moving vans.

I'm hoping that Tepper mandates Rhule Hire actual NFL caliber coordinators, but Rhule refuses on grounds of loyalty, so Tepper has no choice but to fire him.

Yeah, I don't trust a word out of AB's mouth. He lost all credibility a loooooooong time ago. Same Lawyer said he was vaccinated. Turns out he wasn't. Now he's hurt...

If a stud LT is available when we draft, we need to take them. BC could very well move inside if that happens and make Matt Rhule's wet dreams come true. I have no problem with that scenario. Having said that, The fact that Rhule made BC learn damn near every position EXCEPT the one he played in college before sticking him in at LT only for him to out play every other guy that's played there all year is absolutely asinine and completely unforgiveable. A fireable offense

Hmm... Who put together the QB and OL rooms... I wonder...

After they traded their starting QB away for an unproven 2nd round pick and questionable roster. Cowboys are in the playoffs year two under McCarthy Mike Vrabel - Playoffs in year 2 in TN Andy Reid took the Chiefs to the postseason his first year after finishing with a 2-14 record in 2012 Sean McDermott took the bills to the playoffs in his first year after 18 years of missing the postseason Frank Reich took his team to the playoffs in his first year as HC after not being able to even pick his own staff in 2018 and the Colts were 4-12 in 2017 Sean McVay took the rams to the playoffs year one of his tenure when the rams hadn't made it to the postseason since 2004. Kevin Stefanski took the Browns to the playoffs after a drought of 17 years Matt Nagy (sucks) still took the bears to the playoffs with a 12-4 record after a year of 5-11 Brandon Staley in the playoff hunt year 1 of his tenure as HC of the chargers Bruce Arians - Playoffs in year two**thanks to assistant HC Tom Brady Arthur Goddamn Smith has won more games in his first year with a poo roster and no offensive line than Matt fuging Rhule has in either of his first two seasons. Riverboat Ron - Playoffs year one in the dumpster fire that is DC Matt Rhule - iT tAkEs TiMe To BuIlD a WiNnInG tEaM! Fire his ass, get a competent fuging coach in there. Immediate turnarounds are not unprecedented as long as there's a good coach at the helm.

That's who I'd aim for above all else. Maybe throw in zylstra for ST purposes.

We just lost a division game against the Saints where we had a shot to knock them out of playoff contention, and I don't know if anyone really cares that we lost. As a fanbase it feels like we are beyond the pain of losing and just want to lose more in the offset chance that losing MAY lead to the firing of Matt Rhule and co, when that's not even guaranteed. I dunno. I'm not upset we lost, I'm upset Tepper expects me to watch this poo one more game, and potentially next season as well. Not worth it homies. Not Worth it. Glad I only caught the very beginning and very end of the game.

If it happens, I'll GLADLY eat crow and talk about how wrong we ALL were. I WANT to be wrong. I just don't see that happening though.

Jesus Christ: I mean... What are their mods doing?

We need to trade down to hopefully recoup another second, or hell, even a second first round pick. then we need to use all the picks to draft offensive linemen that have not been scouted by Matt Rhule and his cronies.

Matt Millen, universally regarded as the worst GM in NFL history has been doing nothing but praise our coaching staff as he calls our game. "You gotta give him a year three" As they showed a completely misleading graphic showing the total record of Rhule's first two years as a coach at temple and Baylor where it failed to show the improvement there was between year one and two as opposed to the complete collapse and regression from the Panthers year one to year two. Really Millen? Tell me all about how you know how to build winning football teams.

Good. Now when we get completely dominated by the saints rhule won't have the excuse that his starters were out.

What if Watson isn't cleared legally, but he OK's the trade to Carolina, but only if they fire Matt Rhule...

I will watch NFL redzone exclusively next year, not buy any merch, and attend no games.

If you're in dark mode you can highlight everything to read it like so:

I honestly came out of it thinking the opposite. While it wasn't great, I felt it could have been much worse for Rhule. Person Sprinkled just enough positive anecdotes to try and keep it balanced as opposed to an expose of the dumpster fire that has been created.

The positive quotes were from Robby Anderson. That's it.

God I hate Hurney and his "gut feelings" on poo.

The energy and hype for the team will be at an all time low. No one will want to go to games, no one will want to buy merch or jerseys... It's the perfect opportunity to drop some new uniforms to generate buzz. Set it in stone, Rhule stays, we get new uniforms. Thanks coach Hov

How much of the player ratings on the big board was on Fitt and how much of it was on Rhule? If it's on Fitt, I'm honestly not impressed based on what was passed up to draft who we did when we did to acquire more picks. If it's Rhule, I could cut him some slack as Rhule and his team would have evaluated the talent and ranked them according to where they saw the player's value. Fitt then made calculated trades to acquire more guys clumped in the same talent bracket that Rhule put together. This is more forgivable.

Would you trade the win against Washington last season for Penei Sewell in the draft? Lose out, fire rhule, rebuild in the ashes.

The more I think about it the more I lean towards Josh McDaniels and I'm not happy with myself for reaching this conclusion.
