I may be wrong but didn't JR get rid of Fox due to lack of back to back winning seasons?  

Fox knew he was done before week 1.  Rivera ain’t in Foxland yet.

peope act like we are in a bad spot.  This is actually a good spot based on Rivera’s history.

If this was to play out like Fox then next year would be his "lame duck" year.  JR has gone on record saying he doesnt want to let go of a coach before his contract is up.  Just like Fox's last year here, everyone knew after the previous season had ended that the next year was it for Fox.  What happened? We ended up with the number 1 pick.  I really hope JR has learned from this and is willing to cut ties with his head coach before his contract is up.  I dont think I can make it through another "lame duck" year

JR didn't really "get rid of" Fox at all. He just let his contract run out without renewing it.

Rivera's contract runs at least two more seasons.

Has he really gone on record with that, or are we just all using the past to expect this?

 

I can't recall.

10-6 probably gets us in the playoffs this year.  I'd be shocked if you fire a coach with a 63-48 lifetime record making the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years.  If he wins a playoff game he gets a 3-year extension, otherwise he gets a 2-year extension.

8,9, or 10 wins but no playoffs gets him no extension and a lame duck year.

a losing season, and I think he is toast.

I'm leaning towards they get at least 1 more year no matter what, unless we  go 4-12 or 5-11. A worse performance than last year would most certainly get them canned pretty quick. But anything around 7-9 or better and it gets into the murky territory of them getting one last season to turn things around.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
