Rivera: “The guys are trying”

[Tbe]

lol...well geez bud. I guess as long as everyone is trying their hardest.

From the Athletic...

Rivera was a little defensive after the game, referring to injuries and the effort shown by both his players and staff.

“I just think that everybody needs to understand that these guys are trying. They’re doing the best they can,” he said. “The coaching staff is working their asses off. You look at the mix of players they have had to deal with, the guys (they) have tried to work with, I think our guys are doing things they need to do, giving themselves the best chance to win.”

That “guys are trying” line won’t go over well among segments of the fan base.

We lost to a team that was a prime example of incompetence this year.   Ron you know this is over.

[saX man]

IT IS OVER

[Cookie Lyon]

Trying? Give me a break, Ron! I love how he always has the "injury excuse" in his back pocket. Hopefully, Tepper doesn't fall for the okie doke.

[Mr. Scot]

Hey, at least it's a better response than "sh-t happens".

[rodeo]

ok so if you're trying that hard and still losing to one of the worst teams in football then that means you're not good enough for the job

I don't doubt it. The roster just isn't good enough and the coaching staff isn't good enough.

No kidding. So this is what we can expect when everyone is working their asses off?

Next.

Groundwork for retaining your job laid.

[BurnHurnBurn]

This is what trying looks like?  Ruh-roh.

[Mr. Scot]

I'm reminded of Geoff Schwartz responding to the news that Lane Kiffin had expressed his interest in a certain college head coaching job.

Schwartz replied, "I've expressed my interest in having washboard abs".
