We wait all off-season to witness garbage football for yet another season.

I can’t believe Tepper signed off on signing Rhule to a 7 year contract. That should’ve been a red flag letting us all know that Tepper was in over his head.

I've said it before, but Tepper for a lot of his career was basically able to just "big ball" his way through everything.

I think he genuinely believed he'd come here, shake things up by doing them differently, "show em how it's done" and have the world bow down to him as the best NFL owner ever.

Instead, he's in contention for a spot as one of the worst. And I'm not sure how somebody with an ego like his handles that.

Think you got it backwards. Most fans only care when the team is entertaining. It's the diehards like us who follow regardless.

But either way, all boycotting means is more opposing fans at games like we see already.

Not all diehard fans come onto forums like this is sort of what I was trying to say and some fans even if they aren't as intimately into the off-season moves and things like that will attend anyways because it's something to do on a Sunday. The mindset of "Sticking with a team through the tough times" is prevalent in fans that might not look online or even be aware of this sort of action taking place at all. 

We can definitely put a dent in Tepper's profit margins and I'm not saying that boycotts are completely ineffective but that there will always be a group of fans who are attending games and of course as you mentioned opposing fans will also buy tickets and fill the stadium and ultimately I don't think it'd be enough to make the team unprofitable which would be the only real scenario in which Tepper sells. Making less money and losing money are two entirely different things and I just don't really think it's feasible for a modern NFL franchise to be bleeding money, let alone for any significant period of time. Even the Chargers bounced back in terms of revenue last year after essentially telling their entire established market and fanbase to eat poo.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By SCO96 · Posted

      When I see those figures my stomach gets queasy at the thought of Bryce getting a similar deal. I think it would be a wise for the FO to speak to him and his agent before the deadline for 5th year option.  If Bryce expects a similar deal prior to his 4th year...or even after his 4th year...Morgan needs to try to work out a trade deal and move him.

      2026, an LB draft?

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I do hope Sonny Styles is available with our pick. Reese will go top-3, but Styles is a beast in his own right. His size next to Wallace would be a heckuva balance and he plays fast. My guess is Styles destroys the combine and goes top-8. Gotta hope the "taking an off-ball LB early" conversation causes a bit of a drop. It did with Campbell in last draft, so here's hoping Styles can last until the late teens/early 20s.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      Teams can win in spite of bad offense.  In spite of bad defense.  In spite of bad ST.  In spite of being weak at corner.  In spite of weak WRs.  In spite of weak QB play.  like I said, what is taking place is the unique cherry pick where some fans say we can't state the obvious reality about the QB spot.  But look at Atlanta!  But look at these 3 throws in this game he was treated as a backup for every single other snap!  Exceptions don't make the rule or change the big picture. I have seen lots of your post, I don't recall you rushing to Philly Brown's defense when it was just matter of fact stated Cam Newton won NFL MVP/went to the Super Bowl despite a weak WR cast.  The entire board universally agreed the weak link to that roster was what it was.     I would reckon if I searched hard enough, I could find you making the same matter of statement that teams do in fact win in spite of very clear weaknesses.
