It is a coaching marvel that with a make shift o line, rookie #1 WR, no healthy running backs, losing Greg Hardy, no speed in secondary, and no cap space we are 3-3-1

Hell he may deserve another extension for making lemonade with this bunch of lemons

 

 

Good point!

 

But let's blame Ron anyway!

Ron said several times he was ok with Chandler and Bell.  It doesnt seem like he went out of his way to get some talent at o line signed.

Ron doesn't go get the talent.  Gettlemagic is the one who gets talent.  Ron has to coach what he's given.

 

As a great principal told me: you teach the kids you got, not the kids you want.

As has been mentioned, and per his own words, Gettleman works with Rivera on setting the roster.

THIS times 100000!!!! Some people just don't see it, I think about 21 of 32 coaches would be 2-4 to 0-6 at this point with what we have!

Except Rivera believed in those guys too. Some evidence suggests he believed more than Gettleman did.

Whether you agree or not though, it's way more likely Rivera gets canned than Gettleman.

I don't ultimately think Rivera will be fired, but if the season goes in the toilet I do think it's conceivable.

Ron believes in who he is given. Players coach.

I think Ron would prefer decent players instead of one really good one and crap on D. Need to give him a solid D to coach instead of the NYG model that was always criticized.

I think Ron believed in Gross, Wharton, Captain, Mitchell, etc. too. Those were the best guys on weak units....I think discount Dave thought he could repeat basically what was a lotto win in the cheap FA bin in 2013. Which ultimately is the difference in this and last year

I think 'hoped' would be better than 'thought'. You really never know until the team starts playing. And it's not like he had any other choice. You've got to shop in the bargain store if you're poor.

The only way I see us firing Rivera is if he completely looses the players. Other than that I see us firing our OC. I don't know if we will fire our DC since we had the 2nd ranked defense last year.

Personally I think McDermott isn't that good and the only reason why we had the 2nd ranked defense was because we could cause havoc with only 4 guys rushing and the rest in coverage.

First of all you don't fire the coach of the year in 2013 because you fruit basket turnover the team and you don't win while you struggle with poor talent because you pick up unknowns and over the hill veterans.  Secondly why keep blaming Shula for all the injuries on offense and lack of receiver talent. Chud who was supposedly great averaged the exact same number of points in 2012 as we are averaging right now with arguably much less talent.  Not only is there no need for change but you would be changing things that aren't the main problem.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
