Why don't we make mid-season coaching changes?

But others do? Will this continue with Tepper? 

Cause if so, I do see it being a problem especially when it's warranted. Never forget Ravens fired their OC and went on to win the SB. Why does this organization wait until the building burns down to make changes?

It all honesty it'll be wrong to fire Washington because he shouldn't even be our DC. You mean to tell me nobody up top can force Ron to take over the defense, let Washington go back to the DL for the rest of the year? They're just going to allow this to continue? If the standard up top not set, it's not going to trickle down

Other than that one example, usually when you fire a coach or coaches midseason, the season is lost. While we pretty much believe the season has now been lost, there is a glimpse of possibility they can right the ship. But firing someone would pretty much be sinking the ship. Also, who do we replace Washington with at DC?

I’m guessing (hoping) Tepper is more of a scorch and salt the earth kind of guy and will likely clean slate with his franchise at season’s end. 

It’d be nice of Tepper to send a message, but like you pointed out, Washington is another of Ron’s poor decisions bearing no  fruit and with Norv being a first time OC the likeliest of candidates who should be fired is Rivera.

Just an unfortunate mess all around

Most teams won’t fire a coach if they’re mathematically still in playoff contention, it makes no sense to. 

Why Ron doesn’t take the playbook from Eric is a mystery to me. He has to know his job is on the line but refuses to take over the defense. Maybe he knows there’s no fixing it and will make himself look worse by calling the plays.

The increase in blitzing against the Seahawks make me think Rivera at least had a hand in the gameplan this week. It was working early on but the Seahawks adjusted, which made those early red zone failures that much more painful.

We are still above .500 at 6-5 right in the thick of things for a wildcard playoff spot. 

I don't care how sick of your head coach you are, you don't fire them under that situation. 

Mid season firings are for the dumpsterest of fires and teams who have no chance of making a playoff push. 

Like it or not, we're stuck with Ron until the end of the season.

I can live with that.

If we're stuck with him beyond that though, that's when I have issues.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
