He should get a chance to compete under a coaching staff that belongs in the NFL. Also, even if not the starter, the AZ game is a hell of a template moving forward. He can still be one of the best threats within the redzone for a long time. If the Saints can do it with Taysom, so can we

You know what, coaching ability aside (he has none), I just don't Ike Matt Rhule as a person. He's a poor leader, two-faced, and an awful representative of the franchise. Other coaches have frustrated all of us with their on field results, but Rhule is legitimately the first one I look at and dislike as a man. I don't see how anyone can support this dude inside and outside of the building.

In like an innovative 3 QBs on the field at once kind of deal? Can't get an immediate sack if you don't know which QB has the ball...

Not sure how he is any better than a random high school coach. Gifted 60 million and then proven to be a fraud

I hate this clueless fug

We have the dumbest fuging offensive coaching staff on the planet. Making Shula look like McVay in comparison.

It's not just our games. Every single game is full of just horrible calls. We suck but the refs have a negative impact on way too many games.

Cam returning and facing off against the Pats in a Super Bowl would be one of the greatest narratives ever. Burns versus McCorkle, Cam leading the team that cut him against the team that cut him. That's Hollywood right there

Would probably improve the game at this point.

So what's it going to take to, ya know, get them to do the dirty work for us?

The NFL will never get better until Refs start getting fined or fired. Players suck, they get cut. Coaches suck, they get fired. Refs suck, they get rewarded with the Super Bowl.

And yet the previous guy didn't get the memo, and this entire staff f'd up by getting rid of Cam last year.

Have to wonder what this team would look like if the Joe Brady experiment never happened. Feels like a year and a half was wasted.

Win out and make the playoffs. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. If I keep the "Maybe next year" mindset, eventually next year is never going to come. I'd like them to win now.

I've liked him for a long time. I think his ceiling is a lot higher than he gets credit for. Would've been cool if the Jags had traded the 1st pick and built up their team around him. They probably could've rebuilt the team on the assets from the trade alone.

There's going to be some bad football teams making the playoffs this year. A lot of teams fighting to get to 9 and 8. Wouldn't be surprised by an 8 and 9 team getting in as the 7th seed in the NFC.

Yeah, essentially the last year has been us repeating the steps of the scientific method to figure out what is going on here. We've worked through pretty much all of the variables. The constant is Brady. Teddy has a weak arm, Brady is shielded from a lot of criticism. Sam has issues going through progressions and making good decisions, Brady is shielded from a lot of criticism. CMC is hurt like every other game, Brady is shielded from a lot of criticism. The O-line has issues, Brady is shielded from a lot of criticism. But then you have times like last week. Cam plays great, CMC makes great plays, the O-line doesn't look bad, and Brady still can't generate points or really any sustained drives. Joe has issues with short yardage, Joe has issues with the red zone. So they go out and get him a QB that should be a short yardage and red zone cheat code, and he still looks mediocre. Brady is just not good enough. He is the constant, and is in over his head.

Haha, so no, not smart enough.

He's got a good chance to win it all this year. Will be interesting to see what he does after that.

If the Steelers are dumb enough to get rid of Tomlin, I hope we are smart enough to back up the Brinks truck and send Rhule out to Oklahoma.

It is going to be legitimately hard to tank. That 7th playoff seed is going to be a carrot on a stick for legitimately like 8 teams in the NFC. I don't trust any of these teams to get to 10 wins. A few teams may get to 9 wins and it will come down to like a dozen tie breakers to see who makes it. One of these teams has to make the playoffs. Who do you trust from this list to string together enough wins to get in? 49ers- 5 and 5 and playing the Vikings right now Falcons- 5 and 6 after beating the Jaguars today Saints- 5 and 6 Eagles- 5 and 7 Panthers- 5 and 7 Washington- 4 and 6 Giants- 4 and 7 Bears- 4 and 7 Seahawks- 3 and 7 and playing WFT tomorrow None of these teams are objectively any good right now. Every team is flawed, one has to make it.

Other teams have coaching staffs full of NFL experience. They see on the film what this team can and cannot do. They plan accordingly. This staff doesn't have that knowledge at the NFL level. It's not just the head coach. All of our most important coaching positions are held by guys who made their name at the college level. We have two options: 1. Go through the growing pains and hope they figure it out at the NFL level 2. Blow it up and try again with another staff Right now, the league has them figured out, and they can't figure out other teams.

Someone said he had done it before. Who knows, I'd be ok with turning on Madden and just using the "Ask Madden" play call if it meant getting Brady on a plane to LSU or Alabama and away from this team.

Here is how I see this playing out: - Brady is fired tomorrow - Rhule takes over play calling - Team goes on a run, winning just enough games to lose draft position, and not enough to slip into the playoffs - We will all get excited that the team showed progress to end the year - Rhule is brought back after having saved his job - We will be a sleeper pick in the 2022 season - The wheels will fall off after starting the 2022 season 6-0 - We'll have a similar thread opened up on 11/27/2022 asking where it all went wrong and who we are rooting for All I am rooting for the rest of the year is that something like what I have above doesn't happen. I don't care who wins this year. Hell, let the Patriots win it all again, I really don't care. I just don't want to be stuck in football purgatory any more.
