BIGH2001

Our current strategy for building a roster mostly appears to be picking up unwanted players from other teams and hoping they will play better here against the odds. This is what Gettleman used to do and when it failed it failed spectacularly. It only worked a time or two because we had drafted really well in the early 2010s and we basically stole Olsen from Chicago. Over time, Gettleman proved to be a horrible GM. Fitterer doesn’t seem all that different other than being more active in the trade market.

Damn I grew up in High Point and I have to get directions to archdale. Good reference there.

Derrick Brown and Jaycee Horn were bad picks considering all the other needs we had at the time. Ekwonu made more sense. But it’s hard for me to look at much that he’s done and be really impressed with any of it. Granted the coaching staff isn’t any good either but IMO it all needs to be blown up from the top down.

I started this thread after the giants game. Fitterer has gotten way too much of a free pass for the rosters he has put together and some of the awful trades/draft picks he’s made. His mid round picks have rivaled the Hurney drafts and the “value” on his trades has generally been poo. I suspect people are letting him skate because they can’t bear to think that we also need to replace the front office in addition to most of the coaching staff.

The Offense looks worse than it ever has with an NFL OC and O-line coach. That tells me where the blame lies.

I disagree that the staff is a “bunch” of college coaches. We can’t use that excuse really anymore because we have mostly NFL guys at key positions. The common denominators are as follows in order of blame: 1. Rhule 2. Tepper 3. Fitterer 4. (Insert name) shitty veteran QB from another team’s trash dump.

I went to a game against the Vikings last year and couldn’t believe how different the experience felt from a game in the Fox, Rivera or even Seifert eras. This was the only home game I’ve been to since the Rhule regime began. There is almost zero home field advantage as the fans who remain are apathetic. Everyone else is either an opposing fan or seems like they are just there to get drunk on an expensive budget. I’ve got PSLs (this will be my last year) and I haven’t even bothered to go to a game this season. Gave yesterday’s tickets away for free.

So after all these years we’ve finally emulated the Steelers franchise.

Is Jeff Nixon still on the staff? His scripted plays on the first drive we’re better than the poo mcadoo has put on tape this year.

Just wait until tomorrow. Rhule will tell you that we ranked first this week in yards gained on 2nd and 8 plays.

This is what happens when lowers are going for less than $100. Tepper has really done wonders for this franchise.

The tickets were bought at some point. That’s all Tepper cares about.

Deck chairs on the titanic but he really can’t be any worse. At this point I just want the team to lose until Tepper finally gets a clue. It’s pathetic that Sam darnold is Rhule’s last card to play.

Tepper keeps Rhule for year 4 and we sign Derek Carr is the more likely scenario.

No way he comes back to play for this staff.

Rhule got a game ball last week.

There's more than 17 points. Game over.

It's just year 3 out of 7. Calm down, guys.

7 years 63 million. LOL.

I'd rather have no announcers than the ones calling this game.

There can't be any legitimate reason for keeping Rhule beyond this game.

Arizona has now figured out the defense. Play fast and run a lot of misdirection.

That'll happen soon enough. Maybe next week, definitely in the LA game. We haven't played a team worth a poo yet.
