If we get swept by the Saints or Falcons, shouldn't that be the nail in the coffin?

Getting swept by the Falcons who are possibly worse than us, should be

Getting swept by the Saints (that will be 5 losses to them in 2 seasons) should be

I'm not sure if missing the playoffs should be the final nail in the coffin, but you must win against your division point blank period. If you're not good enough compete and win against your rivals, you have to fire the coach and start over

I think most the Huddle has already thrown dirt in the coffin

Good possibility we get swept by both.

Losing to stupid lions should have been the nail....getting blown out on national TV. ..,today...

[Carl Spackler]

Absolutely getting swept by both unless we beat the Saints’ backups. Just gotta score touchdowns or go for it on 4th from now on. Can’t trust dipshit to make anything.

What does my thread have to do with playoffs?

This is about getting swept by Falcons or Saints should be the reason Ron Rivera lose his job if not for anything else

Ron has already sealed his own coffin.

Odds are we get swept by both. They've both thoroughly owned us since 2015. I said before the Seahawks' game that I thought we'd ultimately go 9-7, but I thought we'd win this game. Now 9-7 might be our ceiling.

[The Lobo]

Haven’t beat NO since 2016 and I can’t remember about ATL but I feel like we’ve only beat them twice since 2015. That among a list of things should have RR gone.

Playoffs or not, sweep or not ... this team is trending in the wrong direction. We need some fundamental changes. We clearly have talent on offense. Even on D, we have people that we can build on like D-Jack and uhhh ...  I got no one else. Our D needs  some serious love 

[Pandora's Box]

A decent HC would have realized his DC is poo, fired him then took over the defensive playcalling...Ron doesnt have the balls to be a HC...

This D isn't THAT far off. Add a legit pass rusher and a true centerfielder type FS and you'll see a world of difference.

I mean I don't think this team is going to win another game. They just look defeated in every way shape and form. The season is over.

This is why I am for blowing up the whole thing. This is as good as it gets. I’m not a knee jerk fire the coach kinda guy, but we need a different staff and a different attitude 

If you remember the 2001 season, we had many games where we just quit. The very next year, we went young and Jack Del Rio lit a fire into that unit and made them an elite D. The result was immediate
