I hope anyone that has believed that any high-value players on offense will either be drafted or signed as FAs knows what this means... that everything of value in this offseason will yet again be dedicated to defense.  Ron will gladly feed his QB to the wolves but one thing he will NEVER do is allow his defense to fail, especially when it will specifically be HIS defense.

We're not even sure who's playing QB next year.

I don't hate Rivera - he's a solid coach. I just think we've seen what he can do here and it's time to go a different direction.

2019 won't be a lame duck year and I didn't say anything about firing him after a playoff run. He's under contract through 2020, so he would have one more year under his current contract to coach after a 2019 playoff run. That's the point of my questions - what is the argument for extending him beyond 2020 following the 2019 season instead of seeing how things play out in 2020?

Yeah, I agree that he might not get an extension due to his inconsistency. Usually coaches that are doing well don’t go into the last year of there contract with things up in the air, but I wouldn’t blame Tepper if he didn’t want to extend him.

Jan 2020 quote: Yeah, but you can't fire him, Cam's shoulder was recovering and what was he supposed to do when he was given the 16th overall pick? 

Something a coach would never say.

can't wait to watch the pressers where ron play's the 'how the d  really isn't my fault' game.

I dont understand why everyone is upset....what DC did you want that was better than Rivera?

Nobody cares about that. We want Rivera gone

[Pimpdaddy]

Not sure Ronald is cerebral enough to DC and HC at the same time...

True but our defense looked like crap against the Bucs and the Falcons. Not sure if this excites me all that much but it is what it is.

He didn't call plays in those games.

Want to do like the Cardinals and replace him with a fired College Head Coach? The market is bare and Rivera is one of the best DC's in the game. The fact that the defense improved as soon as he took over play calling duties should be enough to save him his job. If it weren't for the defense this season we would be in the playoffs.

I am coming to terms with RR here next year, gaglfaph, sorry I threw up in my mouth a little bit. 

...Making RR in charge of the D is smartest thing RR has done in the last 3 years...even if it was under duress.  This secondary coach we brought in better eliminate those chunk plays that were killing us all season.  Now if Washington focused on the DLine again... I wouldn't have worries about coaching on D.

We need to let go of Adams, unfortunately, and Gaulden is practice squad material.   We have to do something about safety and DE in off season.

Now about that red zone offense.....

They mean the 2nd falcons game.

Brentson Buckner is available and would make a ton of sense.

FFS, bench Cam, draft a QB to get time, and cut all the overpriced veterans. it's time to rebuild and have something in place for when both Ron and Hurney's contract run out. Tepper is JR 2.0 no doubt and i'm close to being done until they prove they care about winning.

Reminds me of the meeting Fox and Hurney had with Richardson after 2007. It was basically a "make the playoffs next year or you're both gone" meeting. We did make the playoffs, but it ended in the most infamous game in Panthers history. And we followed that loss with 2 miserable seasons until Fox was finally canned. This reminds me too much of the past. I feel like we will make the playoffs next year, but at this rate nothing makes me think we will sustain success.
