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.

      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.
