  1. This team has never won back to back seasons and has never had any history of winning. After 25 years fans have a right to demand better and the absolute clown show we have coaching right now isn't inspiring any type of confidence.
  2. Guess it will come down to how much money is going to be lost at the stadium. With the product Rhule is putting on the field, expect the stands to keep being more and more deserted. Merchandise will suffer. Bad product is bad for business and Rhule being here year 3 will be catastrophic.
  3. Not looking for mid round rookies to come in and save us. But if you draft 2 offensive linemen, and during the short time they get to play, they actually don't look bad, you play them. Especially if they played better than the guys currently starting. And it's not like we're talking about 1 or 2 bad games. These guys have been horrible all season. We're not winning. We're not really even competing. Heading into the off-season, you need to know what you have to be able to build a better team.
  4. See that's the thing. We drafted 2 guys that look promising but we have no idea how they'll actually do because our HC insists on starting absolute trash instead. So now here we are at the end of the season, with only 1 pick in the 1st 3 rounds, and we have no idea what we have in our 2 linemen. Do we draft a LT or could BC actually not be a guard? Is Brown worth starting or developing? Who knows. Oh that's right. Virtually anyone with any type of football IQ watching Rhule constantly put the worst offensive line on the field because the stats say they're versatile.
  5. Which makes me wonder if he will be cut this week.
  6. By coming out and saying Darnold is going to play this week, it looks like he's going to treat the rest of the year like preseason. Well, except for the part about actually playing guys to see if they might be any good like Brown and BC.
  7. Brady has 7 rings (2 losses), possibly an 8th. If you add up every other starting QB to have won a SB that's still playing that still doesn't equal his amount of wins in the big dance. The most anyone else has is 2 and that's Big Ben 13 years ago. Peyton Manning, one of the greatest to ever play, went 4 times, won 1, lost 2 and we all know what happened to get his 2nd. No other player has that amount of history winning as TB and at that's the most important position to get to that point as well. Brady is in a win now situation. At 44, he isn't playing forever, even though he wants to play until 50. Guys playing or coming to Tampa know this. It's different than building a winning franchise. Guys going to Tampa are going for a greater chance to win a SB. Guys staying after last year are staying to do it again. He elevates everyone around him. This isn't me having a man crush or anything on Brady. I just recognize he is the greatest NFL playoff QB we will likely ever see play the game. Players and coaches know that as well.
  8. Keeping Rhule and firing his assistants is like changing your baby's diaper and putting the shitty one back on.
  9. But how much of that is because of TB? The guys there want to win it all and they have no better chance than with TB at the helm. It's just the way it is. If Brady had retired at the end of last season, all those guys wouldn't have been back, guaranteed.
  10. 3 card Monte wishbone offense. Which QB is gonna throw the ball?
  11. Company BBQ. Openly praise his coaching and leadership abilities. Send him home with a really big to go box of sandwiches and cole slaw.
  12. 1. Fire Rhule. Fire Rhule. Fire Rhule. Did I mention fire Rhule. 2. Hire a coach with actual NFL experience. I don't necessarily have to have the next greatest coach. 3. Don't spend in FA and waste any comp picks we get letting some of these guys walk. We're going to need all we can get. 4. Fitts works his trade magic and somehow Madden's our way from 8 to 15 or so and manages to pick up 2 or 3 extra 2nds and a couple 3rds, and we still get somehow get Linderbaum. Did I mention focusing on the oline? Extra picks are spent on guards and another C. Yes, we need 2 because right now we have zero. 5. Keep Cam on a team friendly deal. This year is not the year to overdraft a QB. 6. Fitts works his trading magic again, this time sending Erving, Elfein, and Darnold to Detroit, virtually guaranteeing them the 1st pick in 2023 in exchange for a 4th or 5th or a 2025 7th if they will take those stupid contracts. Goff isn't good, but he's not guaranteed 1st pick bad. Step up Mr. Darnold and fulfill your destiny. 7. Focus on the oline if we don't in the draft. We need a center first and foremost (see 4). It all starts right in the middle. We all saw how much a healthy center matters when Kalil got injured and we eventually ended up with Pooadis.
  13. If it will get rid of Matt Rhule, I'll go to Dallas and pack his crap and drive his Uhaul right to BofA stadium.
  14. That would require some forethought and common sense. Here in Carolina we fly by the seat our pants and poo the bed the entire time. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
  15. 1. Odds of drafting 1st in 2023 are about 95%. 2. Sunday will be more free for golf 3. Traffic around the stadium will be nil for home games
  16. Rhule probably wanted to keep Darnold and the Jets said no.
  17. For the first time since this franchise was established, I just don't give a poo anymore. I'd rather have George Seifert look like the crypt keeper on the sideline than Matt Rhule.
  18. I almost wish we had hired Urban Meyer. At least he'd be fired by now.
  19. It's OK. IF we had drafted him, Rhule would be throwing him under the bus saying he held his block too long.
