Am I the only one who thinks an 8-8 finish should cost Rivera his job?

If we manage to beat Atlanta and the Bucs, especially when both of them need wins way more than we do, that tells me the perceived lack of talent on this roster is a myth, and that this team simply underachieved again after a playoff season. It also tells me that this team was more than capable of winning 11 or so games and being a playoff team, but as usual under Rivera, didnt play like it until the games no longer mattered, which is a true sign of the complacentcy sydrome this franchise has been dealing with since the Fox days. This year has been 2006/2009 all over again, hopefully JR finally learned his lesson.

For as poor as we have looked, this actually a playoff caliber team in the NFC. This team is roughly 3 plays away from being 8-5 instead of 5-8.

Were a few plays from 10-3. The Falcons, Seahawks and first Saints game have been the only ones where it was clear that the other team was clearly better that day

And I don't like Ron playing the injury card but there's a legitimate argument to be made that we've had an unusual amount of injuries to key players this year and that has certainly affected our record.

And that, my friend, is because of COACHING.

Ron and his staff need to be given their walking papers.  They won't be, but its only putting off the inevitable for another year.

When we draft an actual difference maker or two (or three) , hire a new OC, and make a legit move in free agency this coming offseason, you will see that it makes all the difference in the world. Rivera will be a legit COTY candidate yet again. Rivera's history has proven that  that's the higher likelihood.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I'm on record as saying Bryce has a looooonnnngg way to go to even be in Cam's shadow.  Cam was a phenom.  I'm not comparing Bryce to Cam or even holding him to an expectation of what a #1 overall pick should be.   Doesn't matter where you're drafted.  Could care less.  Sometimes you get Cam with the first pick and sometimes you get Trey Lance.  Tom Brady or Brock Purdy.  All I care about is they are on the team now and part of the plan and the process.  All I care about is if we end up with a good NFL QB who'll allow us to compete for chips.  Bryce's journey isn't Cams.  Very, very few are.   If it makes you feel better, pretend we drafted Bryce in the 7th round.

      Injury report

      I don’t know what to tell yall,  literally a NFL QB in slow motion breaks down where the ball should have gone and when…and the difference it provides Renfrow on that play.  It’s two different worlds for the WR.   Oh, and it’s probably then a completion of course

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      The question was if you were Morgan what would you do with the team since Bryce is a bust.  I don't agree at all he is and I certainly don't blame the fans for his play. Fans being short sighted and dumb is totally separate from the question posed and in no way did I say or indicate that my fault of any coaching or on field play is the fault of said fans. My answer is I would Keep Pounding and methodically building.  If Bryce turns out to be a bust, then yes, horrible mistake.  The trade capital makes it even worse.  Just because we traded up for Bryce doesn't change anything now.  We begged for a methodical build and now we are doing it.  Right now.  And all it took was one bad game after all the progress last year for you to fold. If the Jags game is just another dip in the Bryce/Canales stock on the way up then the plan is still working. Canales, Morgan and company are one year in.  Building methodically.  Improving overall.  One bad game doesn't prove me right or you wrong.  And Bryce's play, which was bad, in that game isn't the last straw saying, yep, now there's is zero chance.  Let's cut him, maybe fire the coach, look for a new GM and start all over again.
