Should a loss to the Falcons on Sunday be the nail in Rivera's coffin?

No.

New Orleans lost to a lowly 1-7 Falcons team, should they give up and fire their coach?

Comparing Ron to Payton is comparing apples to oranges. He’s not even in his stratosphere. Payton has gone and won a SB. Payton has also had 4 winning seasons of 13-3, 11-5, 13-3, 11-5 in a row. Rivera can’t even string 2 winning seasons in a row. Not to mention they might’ve made it to the last 2 Super Bowls in a row if not for a missed tackle (who knows how they would’ve fared against Philly) and a blown call. Oh, he also beat Rivera 3 times in one season!

I suppose it's possible if Tepper fires him Monday. However, the only logical answer if that doesn't happen is that it depends on what happens the rest of the year. He's not getting fired if they win out and finish 11-5.  What's the purpose of topics like this?

I'm not in Riverboat's corner per se but he's been dealt an unplayable hand this year and I'm sure Tepper realizes this. 

After last season I thought Hurndog would be gone and Ron be allowed a make-good year....

....given what I've seen this year I believe Tepper will keep both around for at least one more year.

short answer...  yes.

Rivera's coffin has been nailed more than Jenna Jameson on coke bender.

He will likely just walk into Teppers office with industrial strength lip balm......

I'm a Ron Rivera supporter, but if we lose to the Falcons then he's deserves to be canned. Punched in the balls too.

You mean having one of the worst run defenses ever in the history of the NFL. Yeah he's just a good coach with a bad GM.

Let’s just say I picked up Atlanta’s backup RB to start in fantasy this week.

I hear ya.

I'm on record saying both will return next year.

What's your official prediction?

You don’t have an emoji added worthy of that. Get with the program.
