I can go more. Want me to?

Absolutly, but just so you know I was making a point about the other guys criteria. Superbowl shouldn't be the only measure of success. Maybe a little success in general would be good.

Well, I mean if you can't beat established teams as a rookie HC at the helm of a previously 2-14 team with a rookie QB coming off a lockout then what good are you?

Remember when the Skins went 1-15 in Gibbs first year?

2010 Denver Broncos were 4-12.....Fox managed to take them deep in the playoffs in 2011....go figure.

I think patience will prevail. Stickin with Rivera. Good things to those who wait

I disagree. A good coach grabs a team and leads it....that has not happened and won't.....when Steve Smith is having to discipline our #1 draft pick we have a problem. We need a GM and a coach...hell for that matter we need a new owner that actually cares about winning more than the bottom line.

Yea I've posted the same thing in other threads. It matters who you beat. If you get to the playoffs then you're playing a good team.

Yes, we've had close losses. Coaching is critical in end-game pressure situations and that has been painfully lacking.

So, the guy wins 6 games with a rookie QB in a lockout season, and we are calling it terrible now?

Rivera's been pretty bad this season, but bringing up the fact that we beat rookie quarterbacks doesn't really invalidate the wins to me, seeing as how we had a rookie as well.

Fair point. My concern is that the trend has extended 5 games into year 2. At some point you have to beat a playoff-caliber team to be a playoff team, not just get the better of your fellow cellar dwellers.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
