Not a reaction thread - Washington may very well be fired

He wasn't great IMHO, and I wasn't sad to see him go...

Washington was a great DL coach, and obviously a lot of the guys really respect him.  But I don't think he was ready to be a DC.  I don't know what happens, but something has to change.

Rivera is a good coach overall, but to question his loyalty to guys is certainly fair.  If he doesn't fire Washington, maybe he takes over playcalling.

Tepper isn't going to do something rash, but tonight was a complete embarrassment.  If Ron doesn't take steps to address it, and we miss the playoffs after this start, then who knows.

Firing someone without a plan is stupid, and I don't know that Washington needs to be fired.  But something has to be done.  The defense has under performed most of the year, and tonight the dam broke

But tomorrow, we are still 6-3.  Just have to get better

There's just no way you can continue with Eric Washington at DC after tonight. The D has been disappointing all season but we've still managed a good record, but tonight we looked like one of the worst defenses that's ever taken the field in an NFL football game and thats honestly not an exaggeration. The Steelers could've hung 70+ on us if they wanted to do it.

This game didn’t feel like the ass whooping it was to me. Cam should have thrown the ball at Olsen’s feet. It was an unforgivable, egregious mistake. I don’t think our game plan was as bad as it shook out. Other than the boneheaded pick six, Cam looked good. Eric Washington will take the brunt of this loss but Cam was running for his life all game. It was the worst protected I have seen him in 3 years. Reminded me of the super bowl. Can’t get mad at our d coach when Cam got hit 57 times on 35 dropbacks. Did Cam have a single drop back without pressure cuz I legit don’t remember it.

Sometimes you have to give a guy enough rope. Ron is a defensive coach and this defense sucks. If he can't fix it then it might be time for us to move on.

Agree 100% . Ron obviously shouldn't be a head coach anywhere.  He is just a "figure head" and he's good at that.  He really needs good coordinators though (like Norv).  Washington should be gone though - even if it's just a spark for the D

I'm not saying we shouldn't get rid of Washington... I  just wonder who we bring in better at this point and whether keeping him and having Ron call the plays is an option, especially if that means ceding complete control of offense to Norv.

In no way do I not think we can continue as is after this debacle

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
