Fire everyone. There’s no excuse.

This isn’t salvageable. Nothing about this team is working. Every single aspect of this offense is awful, probably the worst in team history. Our coaching staff is inept. Our pass rush is nonexistent without Burns.

Fitterer and Reich need to go. Hire a new GM, have them hire the coach. Both Teppers need to entirely remove themselves from any and all football decisions. The number one free agency priority next year needs to be O-line, so Bryce Young doesn’t actually die before we draft another quarterback in 2025.

Be prepared for another 2-3 years of being the worst team in the league. There’s no escaping it now. This is rock bottom.

Yep go scorched earth. Spend every dollar you got of cap on Oline and weapons next offseason and if Bryce doesn’t elevate they’re still there for a rookie in 2025

The excuse is David Tepper. Lol

There isn't anyone hired or on the roster worth building around. Just work with what they have in 24 and build better, not around past mistakes.

[Varking]

Petition the league and ask if we can do another expansion draft. 

[Tbe]

It’s sad the amount of cap and draft capital we’ve spent on OL the past few years.

Can we fire Nicole?

This franchise is the house undergoing a major renovation, rather than a total rebuild, but is sitting with weather protection, uncompleted, slowly withering away, year after year, as an eye sore on the street.

Honestly, Tepper will just make another series of bad hires and keep meddling away anyway. The names keep changing and the results just keep getting worse. Until David Tepper realizes that he's the common thread between all these failures we're gonna be stuck being the NFL's doormat.

We could at least be mediocre with a real NFL QB instead of the bosses wifes crush. 

The staff is good enough to be mediocre with a guy with NFL measurables. 

Doormat is because our QB fuging sucks and the defense is completely obliterated.

I don't disagree. I think we're probably right around .500 if we're playing Andy Dalton.

He may need a consultant to hire a consultant at this rate lol.  The last help he received did him no favors.  He's definitely going to the wrong minds for help.    

DT just needs to find the most obvious choice for an in-tune, well regarded mind and throw all the money at him and say--"hey blah blah, this is your operation now, make me a winner"

We had someone pretty interesting in the pipeline in Mike Borgonzi if we would have just hired top down at the start of this mess instead of Rhule.  My guess is that he wanted that greater role but we had Rhule in place as the coaching/czar/Pee-Wee Belicheck.  Andy Weidl, Joe Hortiz, just find the obvious FO guy.
