whatever he wants to.

probably. and his rationale for all the losses and spins to make them sound like wins would have been torpedoed a lot quicker and more violently by the press.

if by lucky you mean not run very well, then yes. absolutely.

yep. it was pretty obvious that he'd rather have been with the NYG, but that $62 for 7 years was a pretty good argument. very much a N00b move for a new owner with more cash than any other owner (at the time) and thought that money solved all problems. of course what money does is enslave you to the idea that money makes everything right and more money = more smarts. the reality is it makes everyone stupid and the more you have the more boldly stupid you get...but people listen to you because they fall prey to the myth that money = smart. but yeah....rhule knew what mattered at the moment. money and freedom to do what he wanted as a coach. hurney and tepper basically came to his door begging and pleading and gave him whatever he wanted.

i get the feeling that tepper isn't concerned about how he is perceived...i mean not until after he does something. he impulsively does what he wants when he wants and then hides when backlash comes.

someone gonna get fired.

Did you seriously not know that winning in the first couple years is important? You thought it was ok to lose and keep losing because you have a 5 year plan? Have mercy.

Define "well"

i think we need to take a couple QBs this year. taking one or even two late wouldn't hurt in addition to picking up one earlier.

that's the thing that i have to keep reminding myself of. no matter where you pick, it's going to be a gamble. no way do i think he should be the only addition to the QB room we make in the offseason, either. as fluky as QB can be, it would be hard to justify not coming out of the draft with a couple prospects. We've got to keep swinging.

made a trade at the beginning and picked up a few more. Just did 5 rounds. used PFN draft simulator. Not sure how i feel about it but was curious what it could look like if we held off on QB and took a couple shots at it. flame away. CAR 18. Bryan Bresee DT Clemson 39. Dalton Kincaid TE Utah 48. Henry To'oTo'o LB Alabama 57. Zay Flowers WR Boston College 70. Tommy Eichenberg LB Ohio State 88. Michael Penix Jr. QB Washington 105. Owen Pappoe LB Auburn 125. Jaheim Bell TE South Carolina 136. Tanner McKee QB Stanford

as one who is just tired of losing so much, i wouldn't mind at all winning the rest of the season.

absolutely right. losing every game and winning every game on our easy schedule is just as likely to happen.

problem is that not only are we not a really good team, we've got a bunch of other teams left on our schedule that also aren't very good. the only team left on the schedule with a winning record is seattle and they have already lost to bad teams that we have beaten, even at home. so far they've been swept by the NFCS and seem to have already peaked this year. its not all that unrealistic nor is the scenario particularly complex that would have us go to the playoffs. that's what happens when your whole division sucks. we've gone to the playoffs before without having a winning record. no reason that couldn't happen again. that's the "benefit" of being in a sucky division. someone has to go.

could say the same for politicians or really any high profile person. world would be a much better place without everyone shouting to the world every thought they have. burn, twitter, burn.

Here's where I am. We could do worse. We have done worse. We could do better. I'd like to do better. If he is given the job, I'm not crying.but I'm also not going to get excited.

I know.... October.

Then when do we wear the pink jersey?

Panther Pink Panther BLACK Panthers are black

same can be said for most gunslingers.

full disclosure...i grew up a clemson fan. i grew up hating the gamecocks in the process. i saw some people talking about how well he did against Tenn. after he and USC just weren't that good to that point. i thought it had to be a fluke. like most others, i just don't like the kid. i think he's a punk and i have to admit that what he showed us in that netflix show wasn't good. that is what cancer in a team looks like. i watched that clemson game thinking that it was clemson's right out of the gate. but rattler had me rattled the whole game. he kept doing stuff that just pissed me off because he looked so good doing it. rattler killed it. did something happen and he turned a corner? who knows. but what i saw that game and what i saw from him in the bits of the Tennessee game i watched, i couldn't help but wonder how well he'd do here. i still think he's a punk and could be problems for whatever team he goes to, but what i saw him do on that field....i don't know. if he can do that on the regular, it makes the jackass part of him a bit more tolerable. i'm not saying yes by any means, but my no has gotten a bit softer.

he looked really impressive against florida. he doesn't look particularly tall. is he a legit 6'1?

i think we need to brace ourselves to the idea that we might win out the rest of the season or at least win all but one or two. giving sammy the bye to prepare will only help him and the rest of the offense. chances are that we won't come out of the bye flat like we have in the past. seahawks are very hit or miss. they've lost 2 in a row, to the bucs and raiders. and they've lost to the saints and falcons. are they seriously looking like they could get swept by the NFCS? i think it's a definite possibility. playing at home is the thing that will help them the most, except they lost to the falcons and raiders at home so who knows? steelers just aren't good. they are looking at one of their worst records in over 30 years. worse...it seems like they've just given up. put that team on the road against a panthers team that still has fight and is actually winning at home with Wilkes, i'm not going to call it a gimme, but for those hoping for a loss for the panthers...i wouldn't bet on this one. lions...who knows? true wildcard team. who knows what to expect? they have a good bit of fight in them, though. with the exception of blowout losses to the pats and cowboys, they've been really competitive in every game and kept it close when they lost. playing them at home will help, but i expect this one to be a fight. then we've got the saints and the bucs, both on the road. we've already beat them both, even though it was at home, i think they are both definitely beatable at home. both are very inconsistent. as much as those hoping we tank, we could end up with anywhere from a 6-11 record to a 9-8 record and with any of those scenarios we could find ourselves in the playoffs. as crappy as the non-NFCEast has been, we could even win a game or two. at this point nothing would surprise me.
