If we miss the playoffs at 9-7 or 10-6 and still fire Rivera.. We deserve to be bottom dwellers.

Our D is elite, Cam is playing like Peyton Manning. Rivera inherited a 2-14 team with Jimmy Clausen and a joke of a D. Under him we would have gone 6-10, 7-9 and either 9-7 or 10-6 (assuming that will be our record this year). Not to mention back to back OROY and DROY on his watch. You know what kind of teams fire HCs after winning seasons? Terrible teams that never get ahead.

Rivera is like a brand new HC in recent weeks and he now finally gets it. I hate the NFL's playoff structure that punishes success and Rivera is too good of a man and turning into too good of a HC to get "Lovied" and fall victim to a flawed, unfair NFL playoff structure. You just dont fire a HC that oversees a top 3 D and a QB that is having a MVP season. The reason I make this thread today is because the NFC is looking harder and harder to get in at 9-7 or 10-6. Yes I know many of you have your "'line drawn in the sand" and say its playoffs or else but think about it, you really want to risk breaking up a MVP like QB and a top 3 elite D and our first winning record in ages?

Can you all stop with this retarded talk about playoff positioning? It's Week 8. Eight. Ocho. Octo. We're miles away from having to be concerned about that stuff.

 

If Rivera deserves to be back he will make his case by keeping this team playing at the level it's shown it can play at and we'll be playoffs-bound.

I mean, there are legitimate options out there to choose from.  Some coaches can rebuild the roster, but still can't win games.  If we don't make the playoffs, then the next guy will have a lot of talent to work with.  Also, don't forget Hurney completely fuged us as far as handing out big money contracts [going all the way back to Delhomme after the Arizona debacle].

There's simply too much inconsistency too warrant bringing him back without at least a playoff appearance this year.....coaching decisions could have easily resulted in a 10-6 7-9 record the past 2 years

But being 10-6 is good enough, in my book Rivera held up his end of the bargain by getting us a winning record, not his fault the NFL playoff rule makers cant hold up theirs.

Or we hire a Greg Schiano 2.0. Imagine how painful it would be having hired a Schiano disaster the year after we go 10-6. And besides, its all but confirmed that the playoffs will br extended in the next couple seasons, so 9-7 will be good enough anyway by that time.

Last time I checked the NFL is a business....ands,ifs, and buts don't count for squat....you don't see belicheck or harbaugh making excuses...they get the job done regardless

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
