So he, as a supposed defensive guru has noticed a REALLY big problem that's been going on for several weeks and doesn't know how to fix it. Awesome.

I know how to fix it. 

Fire him and bring in coaches that know the hell what they're doing. Throw as much money as you can to bring in the best and accept no excuses or dur moments.

I mean how inept do you have to be to get fired. If a coach does anything he brings consistency and identity. This team has neither.

Anyone else notice that this season, Rivera has become more willing to accept that the coaches are making mistakes rather than just putting it all on the players?

I don’t think so, I think he’s genuinely nervous about his job security though

I think the issue is ok, go with the analytics, but also the analytics don’t always work out (I.e the 2pt failed). So, when that happens where does that leave you? I think when you’re dealing with a 2 score deficit like that the rule is a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, meaning you get the 7 there and live to play another series with either a 1 or 2pt to win. Doing it in scoring drive one has a much bigger chance of deciding the game at that point instead of later. In a tight situation you always want to delay the decision because it gives more time for your opponent to screw up.

We don’t have the guys we need for run defense. It’s that simple. Someone said earlier this year that we sold out to rush the passer in a pass happy league and it was paying off. Except lately we’ve played 3 teams with good running games and in two of those games our pass rush has not worked. We need to find more from our pass rush consistently. Brian Burns really screwed up punching the ground after that tip instead of blocked punt. Him being out is screwing up our pass rush power and it’s hurting what was a great season for him. I’m sure he wishes he had that moment back but also it was fuging stupid.

That'd be....unfortunate....missed opportunity for Rivera to shore up his specialty before he got canned.

No "magic fix" says the ten year head coach who still hasn't brought this franchise back to back winning seasons despite having extremely talented players on both sides of the ball for the majority of his time here.

The longer this drags out the more similarities I see with John Fox and his last couple of seasons with the Panthers.

I don't think Ron is an awful coach, but it should be clear now we have seen the ceiling of this franchise with him at the helm and that ceiling doesn't involve winning a championship.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
