No way...First of all I don't see us beating the Saints in NO when they have a playoff spot on the line. I also think that SD is a lot tougher than people give them credit for. I could see us possibly going 6-10 again. But IMO Rivera has done enough already to pretty much seal the deal as far as being fired.

Keep in mind that this win came against a rookie OL, a rookie QB, a rookie RB, and a defense that was so bad they fired their DC mid-season. The eagles are pretty much the biggest dumpster fire in the league. Don't expect such methodical wins against good (playoff contending) teams.

The other thing to keep in mind is whatever GM we hire has no connection to Ron Rivera. He's expendable as far as they are concerned and if JR really wants to win then he will leave the personnel decisions up to new GM.

No, YOU KEEP IN MIND outside of the Giants and Broncos we MF'N shoulda/coulda won ever other F'N game. We have a good team they just don't know HOW to win yet. It could click and at any time.

I do not like the term the best (insert losing record here) team ever but I think we fit that bill. Given our performances outside of those 2 games I do not see why a winning run isn't possible.

lil extra here WTF is our running game

The problem there is that several of the losses can be placed squarely on poor coaching decisions and the same type of poor decisions we saw last year, indicating that Rivera has learned little to nothing. I will buy into another year if and only if we win out and several of the vistories are a result of shrewd gameplanning, adroit in-game adjustments, and gutsy coaching decisions overall. However, I don't see that happening.

This team plays KC, SD and Oakland. We always play ATL and NO tough, so winning 5 out of our last 6 is possible. That would put us at 7 and 9, and improvement over last year. Ron Rivera wont be fired if that happens. Gruden wants the job. Dear God

ill take any and every win we can take, and as I stated last week, Rivera hasn't been near as bad a a lot of fans have been trying to make out. I still think he's gone but its not the slam dunk many fans think it is.

Btw Gruden isn't going anywhere, there have been maybe 10 NFL and college teams saying Gruden this or that. I haven't heard him say anything other then not interested so far

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
