regardless of the outcome of this game, Rivera needs to be fired tomorrow.

Talk all week was how we control our own destiny, win and you're in.

We come out and give up TWO BLOCKED PUNTS IN THE FIRST HALF, BOTH RETURNED FOR TD. I have never witnessed such failure in my history as a football fan, from peewee football on up.

The status quo and mediocre efforts are not acceptable, and someone needs to make that clear tomorrow.

Like I said in the gameday thread, the entire FO should be evaluated for overseeing this debacle. Gettleman included.

 

we've see everything we need to see from rivera and his group of inepts.

 

i want to see what gettleman can come up with when given the chance to pick his own coaching staff from top to bottom.

 

but he needs to own that clusterf*ck he is responsible for on the OL.

won't get an argument from me.

at least one person should be fired tomorrow....rodgers.

then shula the week after that if they don't win.

then mcdermott.

then rivera at the end of the season.

No doubt Rodgers should be, but Rivera needs to be. Enough is enough. It's his responsibility to oversee his staff and ensure that they, as well as the players, are prepared to win each and every game. Too often, and today is the most obvious example, he doesn't have us prepared.

But the problem is that if Rivera and Co. weren't his guys, then why are we sitting at this point now?

who do we put in his place?

 

 

not that it matters.

 

totally agree on it being on rivera's shoulders for us not being prepared.

he gave rivera & co a chance and it paid off last season. we just didn't realize how much of a fluke that season was going to be. couldn't fire rivera after last season. there was no reason because it seemed like rivera turned the corner when really it was just a blind squirrel finding a nut.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
