       lol it's cute when kids think they got ya. "Literally ANYONE out there probably could do better with this much talent." lol you can't make this shiit up.

 

    You started off like you had a pair, then wilted under the pressure. "You don't have to name names to know that." I actually giggled at that one. 

You and I have gotten into it before.  I wanted Shula gone and you defended him.  You're wrong again.

i honestly believe Rivera is very close to being an above average head coach, he just needs to adjust his philosophy to match the NFL in 2018 and let go of the '85 bears mentality.

“Close to being an above average head coach”

you know he is #5 among current head coaches in total wins over the last 5 years in the NFL.

id really hate for our top 5 winningest coach in the NFL to reach above average...

when people don’t know what they are talking about....

almost above average when he’s top 5...

It's valid to mention that there were indeed people who used the same "how do you know someone else wouldn't be worse" argument to stand against firing Shula and Dorsey.

And as mentioned, I'd like to hear what the folks who say "you can't fire him when he's made the playoffs four of five years" have to say about the firing of Gettleman.

Dude nobody was against firing Shula, outside of shortyly after the 2015 season. I’m never understood what the issue was with Dorsey outside of being a scape goat for Shula. But at the same time I could have cared less about Dorsey being fired. Because imo he was just a scape goat as I said before.

Oh, I can assure you, there were indeed Shula advocates. They might have been a few in number, but they were here.

And the knock on Dorsey was always that he was more "buddy" than coach.

    Aren't you cute. Resorting to making things up is so tired. Show me one post where I defended Shula. And I will crown you the King  of the interwebz.

 

    I did give Shula credit for designing plays. He just had no idea how to actually use them. So no. You have not hit me with an ah ha moment.

You think 3-2 is performing well?

To be fair 2 losses came against a defensive unit that could've been in the history books.

    Very few people wanted Shula around.

 

    Very few people know exactly why Gman was fired.

 

    Those two circumstances are not really close to the Rivera divide.

We know he wasn't fired for a poor winning percentage.

It goes to logic and consistency. If you agreed with firing Gettleman, then you can't credibly use the "he's winning games" argument to say that Rivera is untouchable.

    So what happens to those who don't agree with the Gman firing? Or those who do agree with it? Can they not dislike Rivera? Are they not allowed to like Rivera. Saying one thing is "Credible" or not, in an opinion based thead? Really?

 

    And there are more reasons to like Rivera than that tired ol "He's winning games" trope. You make it sound like that is the ONLY defense for Rivera.

Has Norv been an upgrade so far?  The results seem about the same to me offensively.  Granted it's a small sample size but I hope the offense gets better than it has been this far.

iamhumpy you may want to root for another team if you don't want to associate with panther fans.   you also, in case no one ever told you, aren't very bright.    so, judgmental and dumb aren't a good combo.  don't know if you've ever realized how much you miss, and how often your panties get wadded up, but, its a significant amount
