Here's a VERY realistic road map to Rivera being fired after the season...

We started 6-2 and I think it's going to take a miracle to go 9-7. Why? That 6-2 has already turned into 6-4 with back-to-back humiliating losses, including one on national TV. There is no chance in hell that we're beating the Saints either time we play them. So we're up to 6 losses. That means that to salvage a winning record after starting 6-2, we need to win 3 out of 4 between the Seahawks/Bucs/Browns/Falcons. Can that be done? It can, but I think it's 50/50 that we finish 8-8 or 9-7. If we miss the playoffs with an 8-8 record and get humiliated by the Saints twice in three weeks to close out the season after starting 6-2 there is ABSOfugINGLUTELY a chance that Rivera gets fired, especially with a new owner. Missing the playoffs after starting 6-2 would be one of the biggest disasters in our history. I prefer us to go 9-7 even if it means keeping Rivera one more year just so we can get that monkey off our backs, but if firing Rivera is the consolation prize, I'm completely down with that.

I’m willing to accept this team losing the remainder of the games if it guarantees Rivera being fired to be quite honest. 

Great fan--WTF  kind of comment/ attitude .

Lets hire Condeleeza  Rice for gods sake.

Honestly that Steelers game forever in my eyes sealed his fate. Anything short of a playoff run all but guarantees his firing. I don’t believe Mr.Tepper appreciated being emasculated on live T.V like that to his old bosses or whatever.

I’m really doubting that this team can go on the road and beat anyone on our remaining schedule. I’m also doubting that we can even beat the Aints once or the Falcons. Seriously wouldn’t be surprised if we finish 7-9.

Not sold on the idea that Tepper fires anyone after this season, but finishing at .500 or worse after a 6-2 start might be enough.

You could be spot on.

    • I’m old enough to remember when I wanted to draft Njoku We brought back Mitchell and officially kept Tremble. Mitchell Evans isn’t going anywhere. Sanders who knows, he was awful last year I fully agree we need a better TE. This room is awful Njoku would be a massive help in the red zone. However it really seems like Dan and the FO prefer to go young on offense
    • You’re underselling Loveland imo. He’s so damn good. You can line him out wide and count on him to win 1 v 1. I don’t see that from Sadiq. Loveland is going to go over 1000 yards next season I’m not overly asking for a WR3. It’s just one of the few directions Morgan could go in round 1.  Let’s say Thieneman, Fano and Cooper are all on the board it’s a tough decision. I just don’t see how this team would take Sadiq over some of those guys given the way they run their offense. Our tight end room is easily bottom of the league so I can definitely see why someone would want a tight end though. At one point during the season I was on the Sadiq train as well. I just don’t think value wise for us specifically it makes sense given our team as a whole As far as tight ends go in this draft I really like Max Klare. Very smooth mover     
    • Some of you need some serious help with the way 9 lives rent free in your heads I know for a fact, Dan loves Bryce. Bryce is his guy. This offense is very young and they’re asking Bryce to do a lot. With Idzik taking over playcalling duties it’s a move that is another step in the process of Bryce taking control of the offense. 24 years old. This youth movement on offense and putting more on 9’s shoulders is going to pay off in the long run
