The reason Rivera shouldn't return.

Oh and we know how smart those media guys are...by all means lets listen to them

True but we also know what he has done in two seasons.

If the players love Rivera so be it, this is the best possible reason to have Rivera and company on board for the next season.

Do not disrup the harmony !!!!

What harmony? We are one of the worst teams in the league... our players should be afraid for their jobs, not dictating what the front office does.

I'm also not really sure the current system is worth keeping. Everything hinges on Newton. In many games we make him not only the engine, but also the wheels, transmission, wipers and brakes. We go down more than a score or we don't have immediate and flashy success with our RB committee? Other than a couple of perfunctory hand-offs, Newton is going to be our running game for the day. He also will have to play as close to mistake free as you can hope for a young QB -- especially one asked to challenge the league lead for most yards/attempt.

How many games have we won with our "system" when our QB has even a single turnover again?

Exactly. The games we have won this year were from us scoring early and jumping to a substantial lead. Even then a few times we nearly let the opposing team come back to win in the fourth quarter. Then take a look at our losses and see the painfully obvious complete inability to close tight games at the end. When it comes down to the wire where coaching decisions win or lose the game, our staff gets out coached nearly every single time.

Let's give them another year though, surely this will not be a recurring problem next season.

It still matters how he finishes and how the GM feels about him. If they team can keep playing like this I will not be mad about his return.

I agree and is this team worst than Atlanta was when Mike Smith first got there or what about San Francisco when Harbaugh took them over?

We are pretty much the Texans before Kubiak got another guy who knew about being a head coach in Wade Phillips..
