Go back and check out how many games in 2015 we had a big lead and let the other team back in it only to have someone make a great play to bail us out in the end. 

I agree, when i compare 2013 and 2015 i dont think 2015 was better than 2013.  

That 2013 had some teams shitting themselves.

ron is a defensive coach who can't put together good defenses. the reason he obsesses over TOP is because his defense can't get whipped if it isn't on the field. a running clock depresses yards allowed and points allowed. he is a fraud lol

it is a passing league, and we play in the best and  most passing centric division in all the NFL.... and Ron has been given a weak group of DBs every season. 

You can't scheme your away around lack of talent in the NFL.  You might can do it for a game here or there.

But hasnt he said himself that the defense doesn't rely great safety play but yet that has continued to bite us in the ass year after year?

This. It's not a coincidence that we're poor overall in close games under Rivera and it's not a coincidence that in our one great season and Rivera we were virtually flawless in close games. Rivera's philosophies provide very little margin for error. We won't bury an opponent, we take our foot off the gas and hope we can hang on.

there i fixed it for you

his history says otherwise.  

Talent matters in the NFL.  You got significant roster issues at a position? You can't hide it for long.  Doesn't matter how good of a coach you got.

Ron ain't the GM.  Ron gonna say what he gotta say.  Ron knows how important DBs are in today's NFL.   Gotta have a well rounded D.

You're acting like Ron has no input on the roster. You really think we've relegated safety to mid-late round picks and afterthought free agents while Ron is begging for safeties? Please. Ron builds his defenses around the front seven. He doesn't want to spend money and resources on the safety positions either. If he was begging for better safeties then we'd actually be spending valuable resources to get them.

You think Ron begged Dave Gettlemen to spend first rounders on backups? on TE sized WRs?   That was Dave's roster he was building not Ron's.  We are now in the period where Dave's poor first round drafting/building is going to show.

    • So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?
    • sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.  
    • What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
