Was Gettleman feeling himself too much after last year?

I don't think so, when he was hired he said that it was going to take two years before he has room to do much beside cap clearing and that it could be rough ride until then. We were a surprise team last year, I just think that he just stuck to his 2+ year idea rather than trying to re-sign a bunch of guys that wanted more money after one good year of play.

A couple have gotten to it before me, but it has a lot to do with getting the cap in check.  We were in a perpetual state of overpaying & we are paying huge $ for RBs when most are getting a lot out of rookie RBs.  I think he has the right idea, but I want to see that he does make the right calls along the way.  He needs to shore up the OL, DBs, WRs & clear some of the $ from the RB position; we also need another starting OLB.  I also would like to see him light a fire under Rivera, get rid of coordinators, or even Rivera if needed; that Coach of the Year award blew my mind watching how he coached..even last year.  I have more faith in Getts than I do in Rivera or even JR.

Yes. He thought he was going to be able to perennially plug in bargain basement free agents at key positing while letting proven performers walk. I hope he's willing to learn from his mistakes, becuase there's certainly a lot to learn.

 

 

This so much. He really thought he could just plug and play positions like linemen into the offense and as long as they were hogmollies that it would work. We all see how that works out now. And he had an overconfidence in the defensive line to the point where he thought that bringing in guys like Cason and Harper would excel since our d-line would be so dominant. Even without Hardy our d-line is not supposed to be this bad so he needs to reevaluate his emphasis on the d-line and get better secondary players.

I honestly think so. Early success may have messed with him a little bit. There is a reason teams just don't let talent walk away. It's hard to come by in the NFL. Cap space may have also played a role but hopefully any evaluation fater this season will be done with these lessons in mind.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
