Thanks, DA and the Taints for taking that 32nd spot for us.

Offense: D-(not an F due to Shenault and CMC) Defense: A+ Special Teams: A Beating the Taints: Over 9000

Man, so nice to beat the Saints to get off the schneid.

Depending on how today goes, you might wish you had grabbed some plastic.

Goddammit. Well, that seals it. I'll get his jacket fitted up and his HOF bust started.

Smart move to bring that large sign to cover the action on the field. Will save a lot of grief.

Yeah but he also wasn't good with Brady either.

I don't disagree but at least now we could potentially recoup something. The longer this drags on the lower his value gets.

He got a lot last year and produced nothing. Maybe he is just not an NFL player or maybe he isn't getting a fair shake by the coaching staff. To me there isn't any difference. May as well trade him and try to get some value back.

Becomes??

Yeah, I agree. Time to trade him if you aren't gonna use him.

Damn. Yeah, I think he can be called a bust now.

Yeah and "too much patience" is an extremely rare thing in the NFL. For rather obvious reasons, IMO.

I don't think there is really any more reason for people to root for losses to end this regime(which I don't truly understand anyway). It is basically inevitable that Rhule is finished here.

There are a lot of ifs in there, to be sure. I definitely think the roster is much worse than most fans want to believe, so I think rebuilding is going to happen no matter what the scenario. We still have to recover from multiple bad drafts in a row and a lot of bad free agent signings(those will be easier to shed). Also worried about the culture. Indications are that Rhule has populated the place with "his" guys that also share his lack of accountability and some other negative traits. That's not good for a pretty young team. My biggest fear is that this is going to be viewed as a lower tier coaching job and we end up missing out on good candidates.

Not sure I can buy that as much as I buy that he is buying the BS Rhule is spewing because Tepper really doesn't know very much about football. I don't think that is a small thing to overlook, that he really has extremely limited football knowledge but still meddles in the football operation side of things.

Well we did completely strip it and try to build it again. It was just a massive failure. It is going to take knowing who is coming in for me to assess what I think will happen.

I definitely agree from a fans perspective but I also understand it would largely be a net negative for the franchise. Especially when it comes to hiring the next guy.

I don't disagree that there will be some tough choices(and easy choices) but we have no clue what the architect of this new team will be. It's going to be really difficult to get a bead ok who is going and who is staying based on that fact alone.

We are looking at this from a largely reasonable person's perspective. I am not 100% certain that Tepper is in that camp.

If that is the case, then we are truly doomed. There is no hope for anyone but the younger fans because it will only improve when Tepper is no longer the owner.

Yeah, this is the one divisional rival that really needs an ass whipping. Losing to them at home will get Rhule the most heat so far, IMO.

The mid-season fire sale scenario is extremely unlikely. I saw a couple of people mention that and it's basically all but an impossibility. The offseason fire sale is really hard to predict. It's going to really depend on who our new GM is(If Fitterer gets elevated to GM or we bring in someone else) and who our new HC is. Without any idea of the architect of this new "re-rebuilding" I don't see how this is something that is reasonable to assume or want.

I have referred to him as Ian Makeupareport.
