lions lose to a backup qb/can the panthers go all the way with ron

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

how screwed is this team if they somehow make it into the playoffs? we would easily be the worst coached team in there, regardless of who we play.

how can this team win a super bowl if we make the playoffs?

[LinvilleGorge]

I fully believed that the NFL has evolved to the point that we no longer have an opportunity to compete for a Super Bowl under Ron and his philosophies.

He's a great guy and he coached us to some great times, but I think it's time for us to move on. I won't celebrate it. I really wish that Ron was the guy.

What do you expect Rivera to do? Their D line is light years better than ours.  

 

The deceptive coverages we run wont work if QBs have all day to throw.

He helps build the team doesn’t he?

I expect Ron to acknowledge that his protege DC is a failure and step in and takeover the defensive play calling himself and let Washington go back to focusing on coaching the DL and hopefully elevating their play.

You think Washington just created a whole new playbook out of nowhere? We just don’t have the D line.  KK is trash, Poe is trash and our edge guys are skeletons.  

 

What possible specific thing (in terms of playcalling) could Ron do that Washington isn’t?

If you don't have the horse's, you can't win the race.

the difference was the lions were on the road 

wait, nvm. 

i meant the bears were coming off 10 days of rest ....

actually no, that was the panthers

the lions did play on sunday so a quick thursday morning turnaround is tough for any team

wait, the bears played on sunday as well

hrmmm ...

Further proof that Rivera needs to be fired.

 

Im still amazed by how he kept Funchess on the field after his first 2 costly drops

[motocross_cat]

If we drop this game sunday to seattle we might be done.

 

This is a biggie.

of course.. I think if we get blown out by sea at home it's a 7-9 season.. because it would be too demoralizing.

We should have moved on from Rivera already. Hopefully Tepper makes a move this offseason

When everyone all of a sudden looks like trash under a new coordinator, is it more likely that everyone turned to trash over the course of a single off-season or is it more likely that the new coordinator is trash?
