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.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
