We have the Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. If we lose, we'll have an announcement of Rhule's firing by 1 p.m. on Monday.

I think we're that close. Another loss and it's hit the road. Might survive a loss to Buffalo if we win vs. Atlanta. Loss to the Bucs (and that's almost a guaranteed loss) and he's probably out. Lose to New Orleans (a team that has been falling apart all year) and Rhule is on the street.

Personally, I don't think Rhule makes it past this coming Monday.

If we lay an egg on Sunday, it is a certainty that coach has lost the team

We could only hope.  The Falcons, while still losing, have been competitive of late.  We rarely sweep them and I think a home loss to to a sub-.500 team should be the final straw.  Plus, firing Rhule this early gives us a leg up in the next search.  Waiting until the end of the season puts us in the same pool as all the other teams needing head coaches.   My worry is we actually beat the Falcons and Rhule gets a life line that needlessly prolongs his tenure. 

My two biggest wants right now is Rhule gone and the highest draft position we can get.  Losing out accomplishes both.  A meaningless win or two screws up one, possibly both of those.

Unless there's something behind the scenes that indicates Rhule can right this ship, he's gotta go. Based on what can be seen from the outside looking in, Rhule needs to go. Both of his seasons have started out looking promising and then quickly come off the rails.

I’ve been saying all year. He isn’t getting fired after year 2 of a 6-7 year deal. He has to fix the QB situation and at this point I’m not sure if it’s fixable or if they’re going to gut the team trying…but he will get a year 3. Almost without a doubt in my mind.

what makes you think Matt Rhule can fix a QB situation?  His teams never have good QB play.

The problem is the qb situation should be clearer at the tail end of year two and it is more murky than when he started here. 
 

If I’m Tepper, and money isn’t the issue, I’m getting this dude out of the way and letting Fitterer and the new coach come in and begin the building process again.

Lame duck in year 3. I see no way this team is a playoff team next year. OL is still a problem and we still need a long term plan at QB. 
Rhule shouldn’t get a year 3. Nothing is gonna change.

      Current NFL Sunday Ticket sale ends Thurs 5/16

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well if you sign up now for $350, that's a significant savings If you think that's bad, it's good thing you haven't become a big Wrexham fan like myself recently. The subscription to watch their games is about $200 for the season.  Yes that's less money, but that's also for a 4th tier English Football League club (3rd tier next season now), which would be like paying for an XFL package here or something, and unlike Sunday Ticket where you get all games not on local TV, you ONLY get your team's games. So I was only able to watch the Wrexham games with it (granted it's almost 50 games) but none of the rest of the league they were in, which is kinda dumb for the price.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      doesn't have "elite" or even "above average".  It is very close to what they were saying in the Young draft profiles.  Good not great, average not elite etc..  From Walter Football Weaknesses: Arm strength limitations Smaller hands – nine inches One-year wonder It was the only real knock on Burrow.  Arm was nothing special and they tried to make a deal about his smaller hands lol which was a joke.... I really liked/like Burrow.  I see few stay as calm as he does in the pocket.  He needs to stay healthy this year though or it might become a thing for him...

      What a terrible policy... basically saying we're going to screw over our most loyal customers, the ones who would never have planned on cancelling their subscription, and make them pay an extra $100 unless they get lucky enough to hear about this offer first. Anyone who signed up last year in time to get the $100 off should just have had the discount automatically added to theirs this year again too.
