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.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
