Rivera and Fox are basically the same guy. Between the two of them, Rivera has the most successful season to his credit, though it could be argued that Fox's team performed better in the Super Bowl.

Capers got us off to a good start, but man did things go to hell when he got personnel power. 

And yeah, Seifert. Came in as the coach with the highest winning percentage in NFL history yet couldn't even manage a winning season here. Closest he got was 500 it was downhill from there. Plus he was an a--hole.

You could also also argue that Fox was the reason we lost that Super Bowl. I don’t believe Rivera was the issue against the Broncos.

I blame Fox way more directly for the Cardinals disaster than I do the Super Bowl. Granted, a lot of the credit for the good performance in 38 probably should go to Dan Henning.

And come on, dude. Rivera going into 50 without making any new plans is a pretty big part of why we ended up losing.

1) Riverboat Ron - Coached us to 3 consecutive NFC South titles, 4 trips to the playoffs, our best record ever & SB 50

2) Fox - Coached us to 2 NFC South titles, 3 trips to the playoffs & our 1st trip to the SB

3) Capers - Coached us to NFC Championship within just 2 years of existence & best 1st season record

4) Seifert - Not sure what he accomplished...

You don’t? Cause I consider a failure to adjust to the fact neither of your tackles could hold against their edge rushers one on one, and their rush being a key component of their win, a definite coaching issue.

Well, there was that one really cool game where we had to try and score more points than the Packers to get in the playoffs.

And he did have a pretty killer draft...that same year he got himself fired for going 1-15.

So yeah, basically nothing. Came in with good promise and then just kept getting worse.

Rivera has been hands off on the offense, so if you want to lay blame, it’s Rivera’s fault for not making Shula do something Different.

but with that said it worked for us all season including two dominating performances in the Playoffs, kinda if it’s not broke don’t fix it. I can’t say I blame them there.

my issue with Fox was him trying to get cute going for two instead of just kicking the extra point. People forget about that. But if we just kick extra points Patriots are playing for the tie not the win. Totally different game. That’s on Fox 100%.

the Cardinals debacle and playing Jake when it was clear he shouldn’t of been starting is also 100% on Fox.

I for the record never did blame Jake for his poor for performance late in his career here. The fact that he was even playing was all on the coaching staff.

and I may get some heat for this, but the biggest reason we lost the Super Bowl in my opinion was because cam wasn’t 100% into the game. If you listen to his comments and remarks before the game he was too interested in becoming a superstar it was saying a lot of crazy stuff leading into the game that made you believe his head really wasn’t in it or where it should’ve been leading into a game of that magnitude. Don’t get me wrong I love me some cam and I fully realize we are never even sniffing that season or Super Bowl without him but to say he is blameless in the loss is far from reality either.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
