"We're close"

We're closer to Matt Rhule getting fired

[blueandblackattack]

I've been trying to keep some minuet flicker of hope for this season, but our guys look like they're over it. There's just no fight in them, and that shows a lack of faith in the direction Rhule is driving them. You can see it between plays, they just look defeated in the 1st quarter. The team leaders that are still trying are fighting an uphill battle right now trying to rally the team, and it just sucks. We had such a good window of opportunity to take the division back when Brees/Brady did/about to retire, Sean Payton gone and now Matt Ryan too. 3 years to build, but it's hard to keep the torch lit.

I bet Beane and McDermott are eating steaks right now and enjoying how much we messed up letting them walk. "Sometimes the answer is on your roster" was right with them. It's a damn shame.

Hurney said the same thing the first time he was fired. 
 

it’s just a way of saying an embattled coach/FO person watches tape all day and the fans/press don’t. “you can’t tell what’s actually happening out there.”
 

Except everyone watches tape now. And every jabroni on Twitter can fire up all-22 and see how poorly these players are coached.

Does he remember when they then went 2-7 after the three game streak?

It's a theme around here.  Both Rhule seasons have featured teams that were 3-2 after five games.  Both Rhule teams have gone on to win only two more in each season.

I'm terrified history may repeat itself.  We claw our way to 3-2 giving Rhule some relief from the hot seat.

They're not good at football. Wait and see their final records

Honestly opened this thread thinking it’d be about close to firing Rhule

I would love nothing more than for the hometown guy, Steve Wilkes, to take over and get these guys ready to play. Let him run the defense and McAdoo run the offense and let the actual NFL coaches run the show.

The bye isn't until the first week in December. Surely we won't have to wait that long.

I am not sure I see three straight wins against the Saints, Cards and 49ers. Even at home.

I can't look at what we do as a team and say that it makes me have any confidence against those three head coaches. Especially Shanahan.
