Adams throwing Ron under the bus lmao

He's right, Ron has had a D play sheet under his arm for at least the last 3 games, I've seen him refer to it.  Not sure about the entire season but it didn't start yesterday.

Rivera should have done it long time ago. Let’s see if the team can get back on track. I doubt Tepper get rids of Rivera until 1 more full season of evaluation.

There's two possible outcomes of Rivera taking over the defense and I don't see how either bodes well for Ron. 

Door #1: Defense stays the same. We continue to get beat over the top, lose games. Tepper sees Rivera is unable to fix the issue.

Door#2: Defense improves. Opponent's scoring goes down, we win games. Tepper wonders why Ron wasn't more proactive to make the necessary changes.

Ron is quickly running out of excuses

How about if we win out and end up with the #2 seed?

the awkward realization that we have coordinators and no head coach

Rivera doesn’t have the guts to fire his friends who he has hired to work jobs they’re not qualified for. He barley had the balls to can Shula.

All Ron did was fire the two guys he has no relationship with / the most recent hires.

and what's it gonna matter.  i don't think they'll be able to practice this week.   it's gonna be cold and there is the threat of dihydrogen monoxide.

Ron needs to read up on the Peter principle for his coaching staff.

nothing wrong with people moving up and getting to a position they do well at (Washington with the D-Line), but you don’t keep promoting “just because” people have limits

This just points to Rivera blowing Cams shoulder before the season is over.

Too little, too late. Something should have been done after the Steelers game, but here we are. The signs were there even before that.

It's the same thing every time. So now Ronny gets to have even more on his table to go along with his stellar game management skills. Lovely.

ugh

It's all gonna come crashing down on Rivera anyway because of his inability to make changes. I doubt Tepper would have been mad about Washington being demoted midseason when we were 6-2 before the 4 game losing streak. Anybody on the Huddle who watches the games could tell Washington was unsuitable for the job by week 4. He makes those changes and we win against the hawks, we beat the Bucs yesterday and we sure as HELL beat the Lions. We're sitting at 9-3 and we're hot. I can't say we would have beaten the Steelers but I think it would have been a much better contest.  Still not enough now to save Rivera imho.

Good now if they fug up it's on them 

[PantherNation123]

Yeah this is actually really good news.  Either A. Rivera somehow makes a huge difference proving Washington is a bum and we win 3 or 4 games and make the playoffs.  or B. Rivera is just part of the defensive problem and we lose 2 or more and miss the playoffs.  If scenario B happens... see you later Rivera.

Basically, this is just a job interview, and Rivera must make the playoffs or he is toast

BBBBBut who will manage the clock?

I don't know how many of you noticed, but vs. TB we had the ball on the Bucs' side of the 50 with about 2:30 left and 2 TOs and we were in hurry up---
