If it is as bad as it looks and is starting to sound then more will keep droping lose. I think today's game plays a part in that. The Teppers made a big move earlier this week and whatever happens is going to shift responsibilities onto the new crew.

 

I can't believe they flexed this ass game to 4pm lol. It's on in NY although I'm sure everyone will be watching 49ers-Eagles.

I’m hoping for an embarrassing loss today.  Until Tepper openly admits he is the problem I can’t pull for this team to win.  

Tepper has already shown it's going to take that and so much more. I expect a hiring cycle where he doesn't get what he wants will be another step in that direction but it's going to be a brutal path to ever get to that point. If they play that bad then he can just blame one side and I'm betting it will be the coaches again.

I got free tickets when I came down to see friends. I wish I was you who had an excuse to not to have to watch this game. They flexed smartly for sure

Yeah whoever takes this HC job is going to do it solely based on money. I really doubt any young and upcoming coach is willing to risk ruining their careers over appeasing/entertaining Teppers football ideas. Didn't Tepper have Rivera switch to a 3-4 defense? lol. Been meddling the whole time

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.  Reich was fired because Bryce was about to get benched after the last two games. Be damn what Tepper wanted. It wasn't some coaches, it was most of the offensive coaches involved.  Reich, McCown, Brown and Staley.

 

Couldn't really let Brown go, wouldn't have had enough staff on offense. So he got to stay. 

Reich was fired because the team was 1-10 and did not show any signs of improvement over 11 games.  At no time did we go max protect, we'd go empty back sets on critical downs and our scheme just wasn't working.  Sometimes players produced in spite of it.  How about Deuce explaining why his back is running the wrong route and almost interfered with a 4th down catch by Theilen?  There is a lot of bad coaching all around and none of it looked in sync.  That's a head coach's responsibility.  instead, he was worred about play calling.

His first year when he was mostly 'hands off' lol.

Yeah it's going to be for a lot of money but he is also not going to get a Ben Johnson. Petters walked and so would Ben is my guess. How much rejection and how far from his desired outcome is the questions there for me. It is going to take a lot to crack that ego IMO.

I have no doubt Dalton would have produced a few more wins possible enough to be in contention for the South. They sold the farm for the boy wonder so they forced him out there. 

That's the sad part is if we sat Bryce all season brought him along slowly, all we had to be was a mediocre football team to win this horrible NFC South, possibly even with a losing record.

The "sharks" that Jonathan Jones was referring to aren't likely to be young, up and coming coaches.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid.
