Running the same play down the field

Exactly. How many plays did we give them the same open field? They just walked down the field, and we let them, same poo different day. Just like the Atlanta game--you knew were going to lose because we play that BS defense that we saw today in these situations---just back up and let the opponent march in 10 yard increments down the field and kick a field goal as time runs out.

Not even that bothered by the loss, I've watched the exact same game it seems like every Sunday this year. By the way---someone should tell Superman that he either starts winning games or tahe can take his droopy towel covered head, his ego and excuses elsewhere.

It's gets old watching this team. Haven't actually been to a game this year, and I know a lot of people that are either giving their tickets to people or trying to sell them---who wants to spend all that cash to watch this garbage.

Agreed. Rivera put the final nail in the coffin for me. I had hoped to find an excuse to keep him around because I feel he's a good identifier and developer of talent, but week after week he falls apart in crunch time, without fail.

It's be a mistake to keep him and would cost this franchise.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
