Nebulous explanation at best. But good effort, I'll say that. Sympathies about the week at work. Stay strong! You seemed to have made an emotional statement totally off the cuff. Forgivable by any standard. 

Let me remind everyone:           RON RIVERA WAS THE 2015 COACH OF THE YEAR.

I know people want it to, but the reality is that Coach of the Year doesn't really mean much.

For about four years, Rivera and Bruce Arians were trading off Coach of the Year titles. Neither of them ended up with a championship and Arians got fired.

Heck, if you look up who's won coach of the year since 2000, the vast majority of them have never won a Super Bowl. The only exceptions are Bill Belichick and Sean Payton. And when you've got names in there like Marvin Lewis, Jim Haslett and Lovie Smith, I mean really...

Will you people please pay attention. This is the last I'm going to say about it. Read the entire conversation and you will get my point. I'm not talking about any other year than 2015 nor am I comparing Rivera to any other coach. Stop with the bullshit comments.

I saw the conversation.

Rivera winning the coach of the year award doesn't invalidate his point about Rivera's coaching philosophy. Nor does it strengthen the suggestion that Rivera is a good coach.

And his point is invalid because it was that the PLAYERS coached themselves. It also doesn't weaken the suggestion that he is a good coach willing to evolve. So what's your point?

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
