Nothing in the first couple days. All energies need to go towards making the offense better. Defense is more than good enough. They just need an offense that can stay on the field and score. What's absurd is that we have done as bad a job at fixing the offense, esp the OL. If we had done a better job, we wouldn't have to commit so much towards the OL this year. We've pushed ourselves into a corner.

We've already put too much into defense and done a piss poor job taking care of that OL. Best thing we can do for the defense is throw everything at the OL and improve QB.

Friggin defense. How about we focus on OL and get that poo right. Sure, MLB is a need, but OL is so much more important to the success of the team. Same with QB, but we need to get OL right before ANYTHING else. If we take any defense early....I don't know, I'm already pretty much done with this poo franchise, but that would go nowhere near helping gain any hope back for this team.

Jerry was a crap owner. Might be better than Tepper (would have a hard time arguing otherwise so far), but still a crap owner. Bar not exactly set high.

I sure didn't want him to fail...but he did. Easy for me to admit because I'm not paying him. I think even those fans who didn't want him as coach here, didn't want him to fail. But he did. This team has a lot of problems. It had a lot of problems when Rhule was hired. He was supposed to fix them. Instead there's more and bigger problems. The team isn't better than it was when he took over, and it should be because that's what he was hired to do...make it better.

I won't be watching bad football.

dark cloud....he'd still be here to mess up the team even more.

Guys with legit pro experience coaching the position they would be hired for? Can you do this?

Fans are just being too picky expecting the team to win. They should focus on the same things the team does..... I don't know what those things are, but I've been assured it's working 1000%.

We're trying to play chutes and ladders in a chess tournament.

nope. jumped right to blah. bordering on dry heaves.

blah, blah, and blah.

i can definitely see that, esp. in the awy the players talk to the media. it seems more like a culture thing for sure and the HC creates the culture. the more i see what rhule does i think he's a manipulative leader-type, which in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing....as long as the leader knows what they are doing, which i think we're seeing isn't the case. he's manipulating the team off a cliff.

His sober tweets come before noon. The rest of the day....

They've been talked about in another thread or two this afternoon, but yeah.....no one is really all that impressed. They've gotten the attention they deserve.

Truth is regardless of who we hire, my feelings towards them and the team are going to continue to be "meh" until Rhule is fired. I won't allow myself to get pissed off anymore but this crap team or get excited when we have an ok draft and pick up a few decent FAs or win a couple games early in the season. Regardless of what happens we're going to keep winning just a enough games to get us a top 5-10 pick every year as long as Rhule is here. He's more interested in trying to build his "culture" (whatever the hell that is) than win.

except that we won't get first pick. we'll win games...early on in the season and then we drop off the cliff. we're looking at a consistent 4-5 win coach.

i'd like to find out what goes on during half time in that locker room.

I think that's giving them a lot more credit than they deserve. They're not that smart. They're just holding on hoping that something works and they're too cocky to realize they are in over their heads.

I think we've got a lot of good players, but there's not really a core group that is this team's identity. It's just a bunch of players. Not a bunch of panthers. Any of them could go and I wouldn't blink. First time ever I've thought of the team like that. Tepper/Rhule has destroyed our identity. I mean we weren't really a great team, but we had these players that you'd have a lot of pride in and that you'd call the faces of the team. We just don't have that anymore.

PJ Walker = Brenton Bersin

Silver lining

Losing with Rhule has taken away the enjoyment of being a fan. People are pissed. It's ok. You can be a fan of a team and be pissed at the direction they're going.

How much experience calling an offense has he had? How recent?

Come up with something positive then.
