We just went head to head with the Super Bowl Champs with the worst o-line in the league, the worst offensive play caller in the league, the worst group of safeties in the league, and the worst punt return team in the league. Our rookie WR dominated "the best CB in the league." Our defense looked like our defense of last year even with missing pieces. We've had some major injuries and losses on our team, Bene, Hardy, Norman before yesterday, our guards, CJ and TD have been limited, Cam coming off ankle surgery, all of our RBs. All that and we only lost by 4, and for the most part dominated the game aside from one drive and a low-percentage 58 yard field goal, and some bounces that didn't go our way (we lost our botched option fumble and they kept theirs, if both of those go the other way that's at least a 6 point swing + momentum). Think what we can do once we either have Hardy or that $13M back to improve our other areas, and also some other dead money off the books or lowered like Beason, Godfrey, Gross, Smitty. Norman will keep improving and giving us some huge help, as well as Norwell being a huge revelation at guard, and Ealy improving possibly making CJ and/or Hardy expendable - getting cap room back. Need to put things in perspective folks. This is not the end of the world, or the end of our team as it stands. Gettleman isn't trying to get rid of Rivera and Cam by putting crap talent around them--he just had no other options to improve our weaknesses. We are just a couple problem areas away from being the team that we were in 2013. Yesterday we saw a flash of that team for ~55 minutes of the game even with the massive problems at OC, o-line, safeties, etc. Anybody suggesting Rivera needs to be fired, Gettleman needs to be fired, Cam shouldn't re-sign here or we shouldn't re-sign him, and other overreactions need to just calm down. We have an 8 game stretch where we play only 1 team with a winning record and we are currently heading our division with a sh*tload of promise for the future. Calm down, relax, get ready for Thursday and keep pounding.

Yes but Shula needs to be gone.

That's not an overreaction. I've been on that dudes side but the play calling has been atrocious minus one or two games this year

This can't be stated enough. The dude can singlehandedly cost the team games. Yeah, you can execute the play given, but it doesn't matter when the wrong play was called. The play can be executed perfectly and still gain nothing because it was a $hit play that played right into the defenses hands. As Cam would put it, gotta have better play calling simple and plain.
