What would you have done?

Please, be honest and don't be condescending in your responses.

 

What would you have done this past offseason to prevent this from happening? What would you have done differently than what Gettleman did with the knowledge we had at the time. Who would you have signed, who would you have drafted, and what personnel moves would you have done that would make this team better than it is now?

 

I see everyone clamoring for Gettleman's head on a platter right now, but no one is providing any counter arguments to what he should have done differently. I'm seeing "he should have addressed the line" but when I ask with who, no one provides me with an answer. I'm not being condescending or patronizing, I honestly want to know what our other options were. Please be specific.

 

Go back to right after we franchised Hardy: Not knowing what we know now, what do you do with the Cap situation we are in? Who do we sign, who do we let go? How do we prevent this from happening?

Wouldn't of tagged Hardy. Luxury since we were cap challenged.

that means we could of kept some key roleplayers. I would have made sure Bell and Chandlers were backups even if it meant losing some future draft picks. Wouldn't need Pro Bowlers but some young talent added

90% of the fanbase was thrilled with the tag at the time. That's a hindsight call, that's why I said AFTER Hardy was tagged.

not franchising hardy then being forced to pass up on legit talent at OT, WR via FA or trade.

and i wouldn't have picked old guys in the secondary who were bad enough that they got cut from really bad defenses in our division.

and i wouldn't have given rivera an extension until after he pulled off two winning seasons.

I agree hindsight is always 20/20. just like all these guys that say we should have gone for it on 4th down and assume it could never fail. well there is your proof. The FO built a team they believed in. I was concerned about the OL i wish they had atleast tried to bring in some garbage level lineman to see if they were better then ours. Im not sure who, so i cant give you that. It has more to do with us not being a dominant D we all expected the D to be strong and the o to only need limited points to win. once we lost the ability to get off the field it all imploded.

I would have let steve go, but would have replaced him with better WR's than what we did.  I definetely wouldn't have tagged Hardy.  Also I agree Bell and Chandler are very good backups.  That is our glaring problem.

i was in the 10% that wasn't thrilled. i questioned it all along. far too much money invested in two players from the same position.

funny thing is Hardy says he wants to play and feels bad seeing us lose... that money was thrown away and now he's somewhat guilty. If we were going to commit to him we should have signed a realistic long term deal. if they give him a monster contract next year it really proved DG is rdicilous!

you missed were he said you already tagged hardy, so now answer again

Don't make us try to compensate for Dave's dumbass move. Hardy was never going to be here next year, it wasn't going to happen. So you spent 13 million on a 1 year rental. Any other job in America that's enough to get you fired.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
