Good point by our buddy Kroeger

It's kind of weird because Rivera had always been great at the end of the year, it was just slow starts killed playoff hopes. This year we started 2-0 and we're going to end worse than any other year of Rivera's. Time to blow it up, coaching staff-wise.

At this rate it would be more of a surprise if the coaching staff was retained then fired.

 

However, I say do a full clean house and get the GM and FO out, too.  Blow this thing up, find a man who knows football and put him in the FO to run the show and find a hungry college coach who has experience with offense and green to the league.  Get him the right coordinators and rely on the talent in the skilled positions for a rebound.

I think a big part of the problem is that all the new guys (Rivera, Gettleman) came in saying "we're gonna keep the same staff in the front office, I'm not gonna rock the boat there." Maybe it was JR feeding them that line, but as a result we have the same stagnant losing culture. Gettleman needs to just completely gut this franchise in February and rebuild it from janitorial staff to head coach.

I'd agree.

The remaining schedule...

- At New Orleans

- Home vs Tampa Bay

- Home vs Cleveland

- At Atlanta

Anyone see three wins in there?

Honestly the only win I can see is Tampa but that's not guaranteed at all though. I don't think we finish this season in good standings at all. It's time to get a coaching staff in here that can groom a QB.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
