So i really don't think this is that big of a deal. I'm not sure it changes much of anything for the team that wasn't going to be changed anyway.

I think, barring something unforeseen, Ruhle is going to be back and this doesn't really change that. next year will be a make or break. 

I think this does mean that he and brady have very differing views of how the rest of the season should play out. There's been sniping in the media previously that indicated they haven't been on the same page for much of the season. 

If I had to guess, I'd say that ruhle probably just wants to run out the year and didn't think Brady would do that. 

The burning question right now: What happens if we lose out, especially if we do so in embarrassing fashion?

This is a valid concern.

It's also true that if you hire somebody who's not qualified for the job, holding on to them just for the sake of not changing too much too soon is a mistake.

Sure but look at the roster turnover we have had in the past season and a half.  It's almost a totally different roster and much much younger.  I think it could be hard to tell anything for sure in that amount of time.

The guy who had final say on that roster turnover was Matt Rhule.

We will get a win versus the Saints and/or Falcons.  Will it be enough to save Rhule's job?  It depends on how bad the losses are I would imagine.  If we eek out a win over the Falcons and get taken to the woodshed by the Bills and Bucs, that lone win won't matter.

I'm not a tank-type of guy, but I will say if we lose out (or nearly) I won't be too mad if it means better draft position AND, most importantly, Rhule gets canned.  Of the short list (I think there was 6) of HCs to replace Rivera, Rhule was literally dead last on my list.

Losing out is very possible. I can easy see us losing the five remaining games to Atlanta - Buffalo -Tampa Bay-New Orleans-Tampa Bay.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
