Still want to give him another season to see where we are at. Playing the coaching roulette game never works for franchises. I feel like you have to give them 3 years unless they are like 0-3 wins bad the first 2 years.

We are 5-6. How about we let the season finish before calling for heads?

Pretty much this. I remember thinking pre-riverboat Ron was in over his head after blowing a last minute lead in Atlanta early in 2012. I’d have understood him being fired on the spot that day, but obviously patience paid off in that situation. 
 

Funny how we try to (or are at least told to) wait 3 years to evaluate players, but we think coaches should reach their potential in their first year and a half. Rhule will at least match the win total from last year and I doubt we lose out. So there’s been progress. But he obviously isn’t there yet. 
 

My opinion means nothing but from what Tepper said when he hired him I’d be surprised if he’s ready to give up on him already. 
 

Not saying Rhule is gonna be great. Just saying I don’t think you can grade him completely yet.

How is this on Rhule? So he wasted a timeout; it's not the first time. Rivera would waste timeouts, too. That didn't cost us the game.

We had a QB we signed 10 days ago playing a great game and the effort was certainly there on offense and special teams.

Unfortunately, the defense laid an egg. I still am MUCH more optimistic coming off this loss than I was coming off the win over Atlanta a few weeks ago because the defense isn't going to play this poorly on a regular basis. 

On the other hand, we actually have a real NFL-caliber starting QB, which we haven't been able to say in a long while.

The NFL adjusts every week. If you don't add a wrinkle they're going to gash you.

3-4, may have been requested by ownership but we've already seen this movie.

3-4 lost Dom Capers job for him. John Fox came in and went back to 4-3 for a reason.

Not a fan of that defense. I love our players but there being schemed wrong.

Get some hog mollies and stop it. Undersized, is a weakness in the NFL. Can't scheme around that.

      Only team with a winning record…

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not to me. You win six games by 3 points but lose one by 30, you have a negative point differential but still have a winning record. Stats are flukey in football. That's why I don't rely on them for evaluation.  But again, my evaluation of this team is not that they're a great team or even a very good team. What I've seen doesn't bear that out. I see an average to potentially above average team that can beat bad teams and also has been able to hang with some good ones. Mind you, that's an improvement from previous seasons but it's still not where we want to be.  And no, I'm still not convinced we get to where we want to be with Bryce at the helm. But we have some challenging games coming up where he at least has a chance to prove me and other doubters wrong. Bottom Line: I doubt my overall assessment of the team is all that different from yours. We just arrive at our respective takes via differing paths.

      This should have been our pick

      We also took XL over McConkey. The Panthers always have an almost illogical hard on for project players that fulfill height/weight/speed parameters who may not have been the best players in college.  Although to be fair,  Tmac was consistently productive and that paid off. They didn't over think that pick and they benefited.  McConkey was insanely explosive at Georgia but the Panthers probably never even considered him with a below average height/weight/other measurable.

      4th and 3 inside the 15 and GT is gonna kick a FG? No way. You're down 4 scores. You gotta go for 7. Okay, they called a timeout. Surely they're going for it.
