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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
