Pretty sure a Pederson or whoever would go with Bears/Broncos/Raiders/Vikings/even Jaguars over us this offseason. Might as well tie Rhule and Sam to each other and let em stink it up another year, no more excuses or scapegoats

Yeah I think Doug Pederson could do it but he's probably gonna jump right back into a head coaching job in Jacksonville or Denver at this point. Not a great year for us to contend for a legit coach.

Yup this team only had 9 picks this year, 2 of which were Gilmore and the coaching staff can't take credit for him just coming in and freelancing. That is bottom 5 in INT's

Not even the worst talent wise besides the O-line, just lost

Best case scenario is Tepper forces the hire of an actual NFL quality OC who in the back of their mind knows Rhule might get let go halfway through the season and this is their one shot at a future head coaching job. If Rhule picks up on that vibe he may actually say fug it and bounce back to college

Yup 9 interceptions on the year, 2 of those from Gilmore who required zero coaching for his. That puts us in the bottom 5. Between that and Dallas showing everyone you can straight up run all over us we got exposed pretty early on.

I know it's not completely relevant but we sure did go from a top 10 fantasy D to ranking around 25 since the bye week

If there was an actual human editor involved wouldn't they have fixed "fans were even chanting that a Charlotte Hornets game"? I think the theory he uses some lazy speech to text app is possible, especially with his accent and delivery

So he changed the lie but still didn't bother to correct the actual grammatical error? I really don't get how he's survived through like 500 ESPN layoffs

This staff sucks. Robinson already looked ready to go in the preseason games. They cut him, put him on the practice squad etc and it's a situation where he looks good because they finally actually let him play. Should have been in Chinns role all year and Chinn should have been up beside Shaq and Luvu. I feel like they've been waiting to make these obvious moves until after the season so they can claim their coaching over the offseason as the reason for any potential improving when in reality they're just making bad evaluations

No one wants a Darnold jersey? I wouldn't be surprised if CMC is asking to go to the Chargers or Broncos, pretty much the only attractive options for him that have the cap space

With the contract and the injury history what's he worth? A 2nd from maybe the Chargers, they're pretty much the only young playoff caliber team with cap space.

Was just thinking that. Same name, trash writing. I'd imagine the NFL teams each having a beat reporter would stick around longer than some other sports. Nascar, certain college sports, stuff like that will probably be stripped down to regional coverage. 430 beat reporters is a lot

Probably Gilmore and Reddick are the more obvious FA guys that will be interesting to see what they decide to do. Luvu will be interesting because I think he'll probably get decent offers from other teams. Pretty much everyone else is under contract/rookies/or jags

I mean he signed a 3 year Hurney contract, then Rhule/Fitt cut him before this past draft even happened. He owes nada to Rhule. It is surprising since he's usually super optimistic, I imagine there's quite a few guys feeling like they're wasting their prime years in this failed experiment

I highly doubt they're used to anyone paying attention to their press conferences coming from Baylor/Temple. Rhule is the worst at it, whether it's completely lying or just wording things in a super cringe-worthy way

Its the Rhule culture, they take all the credit when good, none of the blame/tons of excuses when bad. Has rubbed off on the players too according to those post game pressers

Yeah that would be best case scenario if Rhule is around, but would he even want to return in that situation knowing the writing is on the wall? That scenario basically reduces him to an overweight cheerleader who doesn't know how to manage time outs, a far cry from the initial goal of him being some genius program builder who brought in his whole crew to turn another bad team around.

Couldn't even pick a long snapper that could make it through preseason, he liked him for being "just like a regular guy"

It is really unfortunate we didn't get to see more of BC and Deonte Brown, we dunno what we already have. If we take best LT available i'm not convinced BC is a guard, if we move back and can grab like an Ikem around 10-15, guard in rnd 2 then you have some flexibility and may have everything figured out and just pray Elf looks better with competent guards around him. I like linderbaum but I think he'd struggle playing as a rookie in between Jordan/Miller

I like the Ikem pick, we need some attitude on the line, too many soft guys. Moton gets by with great technique but I miss having Norwell style guys wanting to destroy guys at guard. With Ikem and if they actually play Deonte Brown, we're already much improved. My theory is Rhule knows Deonte is better than Miller/Jordan but his ego won't let him make the change until the offseason so he can say he needed next camp to truly get him prepared. That and he's trying to used car salesman his way into justifying these bad OL FA contracts

Oof so 4 of our worst offensive players are they guys that Rhule is won't budge on, but BC he still isn't sure if LT is where he's gonna stay. Tepper has to at the least force the hire of NFL coordinators that can take over head coaching during next years bye. Rhule will know what's going down if that happens and he can either suck it up or bail before camp starts

Yup, I don't think we'll have to jump that far back but agree with the overall sentiment. I wish we'd seen more of BC at this point but since the whole interior is a glaring issue I'd like to trade back and go G/C or C/G back to back and get it over with. None of these guys can be worse than Jordan/Miller, and they'll have some level of motivation/excitement to actually at least try to show some effort one would think. I'm not sure I can think of another coach we've had that would keep these guards out there this many horrible games in a row, I guess Rhule is just that stubborn because he chose them and doesn't want to admit failed evaluation

It's the incompetent in game play calling that is like coaching for dummies level stuff, for all that have been involved. Problem is Rhule doesn't have any experience to share with these guys so they're just learning on the job just like him. Obviously starting with Brady's playbook of Sean Paytons preseason sheets doesn't help either especially playing in the same division

Yup, although earlier in the season they were trying play action every down but not actually ever running the ball, which is not how you succeed in keeping the defense guessing. Ellis could probably call a better game than Rhules staff
