No longer a conspiracy

[frash.exe]

I give you that about the staff... I was unhappy about that when it went down. He should've fired Rivera when he was hired. Knute Rockne's corpse wouldve taken last season's team to where they went, and possibly further.

That being said, what we're seeing now is less about coaching and more about personnel.

I'm not going to disagree at all with the OLine looking like a pile of poo. At face value, they're already bad, but we knew since the 2011 season how bad the cap was going to get at this point. Yea, teams that are tipping the cap ceiling have more often than not been able to clear a lot of cash, but that's mostly because those teams don't sign everybody to backloaded contracts with a poo ton of guaranteed money like Hurney did. Those are probably the worst kinds of contracts you can write up.

how is this not a conspiracy?

It's time to stop calling it a conspiracy. Gettleman sabotaged Cam this season. He had both the opportunity and motive. And if he didn't sabotage him then he's extremely incompetent. He even succeeded in turning myself, one of Cam's biggest supporters against him. This team will go nowhere as long as Dave Gettleman is our GM.

I think he just wants draft picks. With gross retiring and other players taking big contracts he took the cheap route on FAs and completely ignored the oline. I believed in rivera and i think he should be held accountable not jus for the record but the way he handled this. For one Rivera never spoke out about steve and even had a hand in the matter, regardless of money how to u jus let a guy like him go, we needed the leadership especially with gross gone there was no one left other than steve. Not to mention for being "riverboat ron" he sure as hell dont take many gambles. Or is that jus shula, who else needs to go. This team has no heart left. I believed in this team and its Coaching staff sadly enough, and what a dud that has turned out to be. But oh well every other game we have ill watch hopelessly of a win. But seriously some changes have to be made next year or im gonna wig out!

Sighs~

Yes, I'm sure The Giants, Falcons, Jets, etc general managers all wanted to sabotage their teams too.

I left the possibly of incompetence, don't know why you guys are forgetting that part.

Precisely. Either Gettleman truly believed this would be a good offensive line and WR corps or he had some other reason to make such bad decisions. Either one is awful.

Dave didn't want to suck to hurt Cam he wanted to suck to get high draft picks

Duhhhhhhh

[AceBoogie]

Like I said, our OL was destined to suck this year. No rookie and free agent would have saved us.

You don't have to do much at all to upgrade both Tackle positions. That alone makes us a better team

Dumb post by OP ... I understand you are probably upset about tonight like most of us, but no GM in their right mind would do that. It is a high pressure high stakes job and they don't have time to fugg around like that

1. It starts with Shula. It was a gamble promoting him. We gambled and failed, and now we gotta cut our losses. The man has no imagination whatsoever, but we mistakenly attributed Cam's early success to his relationship witu Shula and wanted to build on that success. However, Cam's success was a result of Chud's playcalling all along. The deep balls and medium - long range passes have effectively left with Chud. Our long passes are terrible the past 2 years.

2. Cam has regressed, straight up. He is not making the the throws he made as a rookie. I have no idea wtf he sees out there on most of his throws. Even most of his completed passes are not the best throws. I don't know what happened to him.

3. Oline can be better, but they are not the reason Cam is getting drilled every other play. It is Cam's poor decisions, combined with Shula's schemes, or lack there of, that are getting Cam hit/sacked.

4. We need a running back. I'd may be keep stew if he stays healthy, but everyone else in the backfield needs to go. We need a RB that can block and pick up blitzes

I go where cam goes. If someone personally sabotages this franchise, i can no longer root for them. How can you root for a team that isn't dedicated to winning? Wherever Cam goes, i go.

How can the fuging owner not see this, oh right he sleeps during games.

That's already been shown to be crap (C B Dellinger debunked it).

I'll take it one step further. This franchise won't be Sh!T until Jerry Richardson sells.

[Cpt slay a ho]

Our Gm is trash.....that's the conspiracy

 

We suck in all 3 phases of football

 

every move he made this off-season is biting us in the ass

[R0CKnR0LLA]

also go cardinals

This 'conspiracy' talk is as ridiculous as it ever was. Gettleman took the exact same approach as he did the last offseason, but it's gone as badly as it went good last year. Add in the same lame OC that was there for the final 8 games of anemic offense last year, Hardy and the front 7 completely disappearing and leaving the secondary completely exposed,, and the abysmal OL and you have the recipe for the BS on the field.

I will say it is still amazing how bad this OL is and that they thought this would work, but who would have said before the season that even Kalil would be horrible. I will call the OL a failure on the part of the front office, but the rest was a gamble of the same sort as last year and this time they lost.

I will also say that I advocated giving Rivera a small raise and a 2 yr. 'prove it' type of extension rather than what he got because I wasn't sold. The FO should take some heat for that as well, as it was blatantly obvious that last year's team overachieved to some degree.
