Should a loss to the Falcons on Sunday be the nail in Rivera's coffin?

New Orleans lost to a lowly 1-7 Falcons team, should they give up and fire their coach?

Comparing Ron to Payton is comparing apples to oranges. He’s not even in his stratosphere. Payton has gone and won a SB. Payton has also had 4 winning seasons of 13-3, 11-5, 13-3, 11-5 in a row. Rivera can’t even string 2 winning seasons in a row. Not to mention they might’ve made it to the last 2 Super Bowls in a row if not for a missed tackle (who knows how they would’ve fared against Philly) and a blown call. Oh, he also beat Rivera 3 times in one season!

I'm not in Riverboat's corner per se but he's been dealt an unplayable hand this year and I'm sure Tepper realizes this. 

After last season I thought Hurndog would be gone and Ron be allowed a make-good year....

....given what I've seen this year I believe Tepper will keep both around for at least one more year.

You mean having one of the worst run defenses ever in the history of the NFL. Yeah he's just a good coach with a bad GM.

I'm on record saying both will return next year.

What's your official prediction?

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
