I think Matt Rhule gets one more game

week two of 2013 we were in season three of ron rivera's embattled tenure and a fanbase sick to their stomach and ready for his head watched his team drop a heartbreaker to the slapdick buffalo bills.

rivera blanked the giants a week later and that team went on to win the division. tepper knows this is a possibility if the team's on the brink and just needs to turn a corner.

if we drop one to the saints next week i think it's curtains.

I don't think Tepper knows jack poo about our past. You think he'll reference our 2013 season turnaround when assessing Rhule?

not directly no, but that happening was a reflection of the ability and arguably litmus test of a ball coach to turn around a foundering team

This is easily our worst era.  I really think it beats out the deaf mute Seifert's regime.

Seifert gave us 1999. Had no defense but our offense was so entertaining to watch, and we didn’t even make the playoffs but it came down to the last week tiebreaker. 
 

One of my most nostalgic years. Moose. Walls. Jeffers.

That last week of the season was still one of the craziest, most entertaining things ever, even if we didn't get into the playoffs due to the old rules.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
