Similar record after bye weeks, I think. Rivera and extra time just don't seem to mesh well.

I have to admit I don't really understand that.

It’s because Rivera likes clockwork, rhythm, flow.

Its always been his best asset and worst downfall. It’s why we look worse in late or primetime games(not always but if our overall flow is fuged then way worse).

Anything that disrupts it is like a reset button back to zero.

You're an NFL head coach. You adjust.

Honestly cannot understand how Rivera has a contingent of supporters around here. Dude is horrible.

Because he's a great guy.

You ever have that friend that you really care about who desperately wants to be a singer or an actor or a dancer or whatever but while you really really want to see them live their dreams, objectively you know they suck at it?

That's Rivera.

I agree with everything except this. Any HC who says he’d give his Franchise QB a concussion “I’d have taken the shot too” is probably not the “greatest” of people. 

Thats just me though

I put that under him as a head coach, but I grant there's an argument to be made.

I do believe he's a great guy all around, but a terrible decision maker.

So he defends Cams mentality and will to win. Defends his QB and you poo on him for defending cam? Hypocritical at best.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
