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?

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
