My God, John Fox is truly Teflon John

Despite the team having been ran right into the ground, having the worst team in nearly a decade, having a fifth straight season with no playoff win, having a grand total of 3 playoff appearances in 9 seasons, having no back-to-back winning seasons (the longest tenured coach in league history that can say that)....he is STILL largely escaping blame so far this season. There's always a new villain. Last year it was (rightfully) Jake. This year it's been (rightfully) Big Pussy. Yet these "John Fox sucks/should be fired/is evil" threads still rarely go anywhere.

Why? Is it just because we all assume this is his last season so we don't care that much?

3 playoffs in 9 seasons isn't bad. Seriously. Ask the Lions or Bills.

Anybody with this kind of response is a defeatist, enabling, loser of a fan. I'm sure you're a great person FuzzyPanther, but that response sucks.

3 playoff appearances in 9 seasons IS bad. 0 playoff wins since Shaun Alexander was NFL MVP IS bad. No back-to-back winning seasons in 9 seasons IS bad.

Assuming we don't make the playoffs and the teams that are currently in playoff positions do (which obviously isn't guaranteed), the following teams will have at least 3 playoff appearances in the past 9 seasons as well:

Indianapolis

San Diego

New England

Cincinnati

NY Jets

Baltimore

New Orleans

Minnesota

Dallas

Green Bay

Philadelphia

Tennessee

Pittsburgh

NY Giants

CAROLINA

Atlanta

Seattle

Tampa Bay

Washington

Kansas City

Chicago

Denver

That's 22 teams out of 32. Not impressive in the slightest.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
