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.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
