Will players play harder?

With the firing of Marty, it seems players are very pissed. We already heard some don't like the coaches and Rivera losing the locker room. Will they just go out there and play their best? Or will one player just snap on the coaches, I believe Cam will be the one to snap. You would think this would motivate them, but I feel they will just go trough the motions.

They may play harder because at this point anybody can get axed

Yes, but only to a certain point. Players like CJ, DeAngelo, Stew have crippling contracts that will kill us cap-wise if they are cut.

I think it's a near certainty that players will play harder because they all got slapped in the face with "noone in this organization is above being shitcanned". The problem will be if they are all playing to save their own asses and not playing harder as a team. There is a real and tangible difference and a lot of players playing to save their own asses and not as a team isn't going to be anything anyone wants to see.

Honestly through this whole process I see that as the biggest challenge for Rivera. The coaching staff can make decisions to change scheme / playcalling / fire assistants on their own...but keeping this team playing hard as a team through the rest of this season is going to be damn hard to do.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
