Josh Norman reaction to loss: "I don't know what to say. We just get our hearts ripped out every week. Down like this? Four seconds (left)."

Also, Steve Israel just said on the post game show, "I've never seen anything like this. This is my team and it's just gut wrenching... Had to change coverages or something... Don't know why we aren't covering everything (referring to preparation and coaching)."

a rookie is upset about a loss? rivera's in-game ability sucks, agreed. but destroying the future? that's a little rash.

What do you call it?

CJ already insinuated he was hoping the coaches were the ones fired last week. It's not just losing when guys are saying "getting your heart ripped out."

I dunno man - I get concerned about players mentality too.

You take these kids and keep putting them in situations where they could and should win but sabotage them? Not everyone is going to maintain an edge under that.

Moral victories aren't going to cut it for a full season.

don't know if he's referring to the coaching here

but yea this season is somehow topping last year as far as close, heart shattering losses.... even when we were up 19-7, I knew we would somehow find a way to lose... this has been the theme of the Rivera Era

As I said before, we're in the mess we're in now and stuck with this cloud hanging over the team and in the locker room because we let Fox hang around way too long after he lost the team and stopped caring.

According to CJ, the players gave up on Rivera and/or his staff weeks ago. When he keeps losing games with his decisions and these guys are out there giving it their all, the only way to deal with it is to compartmentalize - play the game, lose it, forget about it, get used to it.

LOL Sure...

Did you see what he said after last week's loss?

whatever he said after last week's lost is irrelevant after his play on the field today. if anything, the coaches lit a fire under his ass [as well as the rest of the d-line]. that doesn't sound like 'destroying' our future.

No it's not irrelevant. He's not playing for coaches, he's playing to win. Yet, the coach that they already don't like and don't want to play for sabotages his efforts again today... It starts to weigh on you.

Hardy has been doing fine. Today things went his way on the stat sheet. I'm not going to give Ron credit for what Hardy did.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
