I'm sorry. I love TD to death. But football is supposed to be a business, and we have a perfectly young promising talent in Shaq Thompson in the wings.

So when I saw this as the primary reason, it's safe to say our window just got a whole lot shorter:

With likely loaded contracts going to aging vets when we have young talent in the wings (and who we'll probably let go due to such), I don't like how the franchise looks going forward.

Jerry Richardson will likely install a "yes man" GM who will give out loaded contracts to guys he likes and ruin our future. Even though Gettleman just had one of his best offensive drafts of his career, and is one of the best at evaluating talent.

This firing makes no sense at all.

No its was DG's ego holding this team back and I beleive Ron & DG had a little bit of a feud going on for couple of years

Does Richardson want to give TD a 5 year 70 million dollar extension or something? How could they be that far apart? Maybe DG wanted to cut TD?

I would assume it went more like this:

JR:  Extend TD.

DG:  No problem, but what he wants is way higher than we can afford to pay and keep moving forward...same with Olsen.

JR:  Extend them both.

DG:  You running the team or me?

JR:  No one is any longer.  Get out.

Goddamnit I knew it. I swear this is no way to run a successful franchise. As much as I love TD, I will really resent him costing us years of potential success if he got Gettelman fired. He always said he was about the team and all the loyalty he had been shown... Maybe Dave was fuging up and not even talking with TD?

I don't know I'm torn by my respect for what Gettleman has built and love of guys like TD, Greg, and in the past the way Smitty was handled.

Probably said a bit differently, but my impression is you probably nailed the gist of the conversation.

Bye bye, Cam's prime years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
