Rivera throwing in the towel for Week 17, per Rodrigue

[pantherj]

I think Hurney and Ron would have had a winning season were it not for Cam's shoulder crapping out. We were headed to the playoffs.

IN other news: TANK THE GAME RON! Top 10 pick baby.

Unless Tepper cleans house in a massive way to get rid of the Richardson leftovers this team will become the NFC version of the Bills for sometime to come............

Why not

Might as well play some of these younger guys to evaluate.

 

He11,  Marquise Haynes is 1 of 2  DEs signed for next season, yet only been activated 2-3 games this year.

This is perfect time to really get Moore and Ian Thomas a heavy dose for reps for next year.

 

Quite frankly, id even play around and let Moton go get reps at LT and someone else even of its Matt Kalil over at RT.

 

Gaulden Really needs to get reps at Safety.

agree, sir

Load up the IR list. Ron knows he may not receive another contract offer after his ends unless he does well down the stretch, and higher draft picks will be huge. LOSE THE N.O GAME. 

[LA_Panther]

Brace for impact. The free fall is almost complete. That means we won't lose another game this season. Saved by the end of the season lol

[Black on Black]

This doesn't seem like a Rivera type move, way to forward thinking for him. Could it be that Tepper is forcing his hand here? Tepper has an investment in this team and these starters, hope this is a sign that Rivera is gone and Tepper made the decision to sit some guys

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera always talks about "finishing the season on a high note" so yeah, this is out of character for him.

Whether or not it says anything about his job security is debatable.

[rippadonn]

The owner could have definitely told him to pull back as a matter of strategy. We've got more to lose from "winning".

[Mr. Scot]

One final indignity from the 2018 season...

Kenny Albert? Okay. Ronde Barber 

[rippadonn]

Until he's got a better coach lined up I think Ron has another year. Aside from all the poo Ron gets here his resume is among the best available. I dont think this coach will be the quick fire. He probably wants the GM to evaluate that. Is it Marty making that call come time? It depends on Tepper. He has already made organizational changes so change itself is inevitable. People want Ron fired but the NFL community thinks very highly of him and we saw the FO and GMs he's had. I'm OK with moving in another direction by the way but I personally don't think it will happen this year. Once the cat was out of the bag on the shoulder NFL (scheme-wise) game over. They tried to use their next biggest weapon to no availe, you need a healthy QB to win.

Yes, because as long as Ron has a head coaching job, they know they get a free win. I’d want him to stay too.

I pay minimal attention to the announcers but I feel like our record with those two is about 0-15.
