Aggresive index 2014 - Has the riverboat beached?

Everyone else had gold & cash to barter with, all Ron had was a bag of stale peanuts. And he still won his division.

 

My post was about his willingness to go for it on 4th down as opposed to other teams lately not personnel.  Reading comprehension and thread following is a bitch.

There weren't as many opportunities for him to go for it.

If football was THAT consistent, then you'd have something to base off of.

Can't compare such inconsistencies.

Rivera isn't the same coach in 2013 who was fighting for his job. After 2013, he got comfortable which resulted in our losing 7-8-1 record in 2014. Nothing will change next season as well since making the playoffs by default is good enough for him.

Saying Rivera has struggled as a Head Coach. That I can live with. Saying he is content with not winning. That is just not right.

No one rises up the ranks in the NFL with a "Good enough" attitude.

Rivera may not have had the success we would prefer he have. But his failure is in no way tied to compliancy.

Fear is a hellofa drug. Let the past go. Free yourself from the shackles of doom. 10 years from now no one will even remember our 2nd Divisional win was with a losing record.

 

 

in the late 1820s abraham lincoln took a flatboat trip down the mississippi river with a friend to transport poo to new orleans. it was a formative experience in his life, and one of the lasting impressions in his mind occurred when they were camping by the shore overnight and a couple of runaway slaves sneaked on board and tried to ambush them and steal their cargo and kill them. lincoln beat their asses with an oar and drove them off, and a few weeks later in new orleans he watched a slave auction and connected the anger and desperation in the attack with the inhumanity of that institution, something that stuck with him throughout the rest of his life and helped form him into the most powerful abolitionist politician of his century.

 

another thing that happened on that trip was they were beebopping down the river and a pair of steamboats blew by them, racing. one of them, the yazoo or some poo, turned into a complete badass in the race and threw all caution to the wind, forgetting the boilers and the water levels and left the other steamboat in its wake and all the antebellum fatasses on board the loser all sad and bummed but then the lead boat, all cool and awesome and winning because of its gambling, blew its fuging stack out of nowhere and blew its entire cargo of antebellum fatasses into the mississippi river and burned down to the hull and sunk. lincoln drifted past them staring at the wreck.

 

i kind of think ron rivera might be the yazoo

Dude...sometimes you scare me. And there is a small part of me that likes it.

Pie for the Abe anecdote.
