Harbingers

Wow. That’s some fire right there.

And why we paid him I will never know. He was obvious he was not happy with the Darnold decision, he sat out of OTA’s. If we didn’t pay him I’m betting he would have sat out the games too. The whole situation was very high risk, we could have easily traded Robbie for a pick or two if his contract wasn’t so Hugh. Fitts made a big mistake there. But I’m sure it all came down from Rhule. I’m betting Robbie told Rhule “I’m not playing if you don’t pay me more”, Robby being Rhules guy you know Rhule just said “Ok”.

Who’s gonna call it? Shaq? Robby? CMC? DJax? Only person who could call it and not immediately get canned/Rhule poo list is Robby probably and I don’t think the rest of the players would be partial to him ripping them.

Yep, he only wants players who will be yes men and keep quite about anything coaching. Why do you think Cam got cut? Cam already had an identity, an identity that did mesh with Rhule. He wants players that will take on his identity, yes that works great in college. This ain’t college and in the pros Rhules identity is nonexistent and he’s stating to blame everything on the players. He’s on a slow road back to college land right now.

Translation, he knew PJ wasn’t gonna dig us out of that hole either.

Agreed. I preached it when we hired him and right now it’s showing correct. Rhule just does not appear to have the tools to coach successfully in the NFL. He’s too used to his “process” that just doesn’t jive with adult players. He’s used to taking up high school boys. If Rhule is around next year he’s gotta give up a lot of control or this won’t work. Process was the sell from Rhule, but this team has absolutely no identity, spirit or motivation. So clearly his process doesn’t work.

What’s more interesting as I rewatch it is Robby seems to yell at DJ too. Robby is toxic and got to go if Darnold is anywhere near the building. Even as a backup next year. And that isn’t even a knock on Robby. It’s just obviously apparent he and Darnold, perhaps other players or even coaches are incompatible. I’m sure he’ll have success elsewhere in that instance.

Rhule on Darnold, that’s been proven. I’m thinking the other two as well. Rhule needs to go, or have his personnel decision rights revoked.

This.

Because he’s Rhules guy from college. Why even ask that question?

Like I’ve been saying for a couple months now one of the two gotta go. Robby is definitely a detriment to the team from a personnel, attitude, negativity side. Plus his crap play. Darnold has been poo since week three as well. I guarantee you Robby has turned the entire receiving core on Darnold, or has tried to. Dysfunctionaliry is paramount here and it’s just gonna continue to ferment. Rhule needs to go and one of these two need to go. Or both.

Ugh. Fugging transplants.

@LinvilleGorge maybe you already posted but how’s the crowd split today? Lotta patriots in house?

We always get gumbel. I like gumbel.

Finally a good play by play announcer. Thank you CBS.

Ya, it seems like a winnable game on paper, but this team… OL’s gotta show up today and CMC better have a snap limit.

You lucky devil.

You are forgetting we have the top two defenseman in the league.

Ya, Aho, Necas and Tro need to pick things up. Yet again we are seeing the effect of missing Nino, multiplied tonight on Pesce. Short term the panthers got some pay back. Long term watching their other games, I don’t think they last at the top of the charts that long. We just need to trudge ahead and not let the injuries bare on us.

Honestly if that was what it was I’ll gladly take that and the man down early versus the lighting.

Nah if we lose Tuesday I’ll be far more concerned than tonight.

What ever it was, was not close at all. Just rewatched it. So TDA was just hurling insults/slurs from 30-40 feet to draw a penalty. Svech was no where close to the ice.

I don’t even think Svech was on the ice. The ref def said 77. Maybe svech is carrying the penalty cause an ejection?

Which we all can imagine what happened there. If he said anything he should get the boot.
