He should win it because 95% of this board wanted him fired 10 weeks ago.

 

 

PS..........and punting it today w/ 2:00 remaining saved our season.

 

exactly, everyone wanted Rivera to go for it in the room I was watching. Not trying to sound like a know it all but I explained that if we didnt get the first down the game would be over and the way our D was playing you let them go out there and make a stop.

Rivera made the 100% right call to punt.

I was extremely upset that we did not go for it on fourth down. We were very lucky that the saints did not attempt a pass on their last third down

 

That was a classic if it works he is a genius, if it fails he is the most dumbass coach in the world. Pure Riverboat Rivera style.

I mean, it truly is amazing how we have arrived at this point. He was a week away from being fired. 99% of the time when a coach, franchise, and fan base reach that point, it doesn't get turned around... in most cases it gets worse.

Looking forward at the time of the Buffalo loss, there is no way anyone outside of that locker room foresaw us being here.

I am not going to lie, after Buffalo, I had seen enough of Ron and his terrible game time decisions. 

Ron hadn't changed, he was the same guy I had watched for two years, making bad decisions, being too conservative and not believing in his players.

As far as I was concerned, the end of the season couldn't get here fast enough so Ron could get the axe he so richly deserved. 
 
I am now happy to say; I couldn't have been more wrong about the guy.

Hope he gets coach of the year, he deserves it.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
