Lynn and Bradley may have been a better option

 

Fans didn’t want Marrone and they didn’t want Lynn. Consistency is important and we let 2 competent coaches leave.

Marrone left on his own accord.  Please stop with this stuff that happens around here where people make stuff up that fits the narrative they want to write that is based on something other than reality...it happens CONSTANTLY on this board where people just literally spin something however they want 5 years later that is completely false.

Tyrod has never had a game close to the ones Rivers has put up the last two weeks. Those are number that Tyrod only puts up through a entire 3rd of a season. Not saying we didn't score, but he has a hell of a lot better QB to work with this year. 

 

Rivers has had 4 games this year with a passer rating of less than 83. Only one of those games was a win. He had one game with a passer rating of 37.2 and 3 INTs. He is as inconsistent as they come. But yes when’s he’s on he’s really on. When he’s bad he’s really bad and has a penchant for throwing game-losing picks.

Marrone left because it was him or Whaley, and the Pegulas chose not to give him what he asked for. Even though he had us on the cusp of a playoff appearance with freaking EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton as his QBs. But the wrestler from Pennsylvania (yes I seriously believe his home state was a major factor in the Pegula’s decision) gets full control in his first ever season as head coach. It’s baffling.

The Giants/Redskins game should make for some really compelling viewing.

Please...Marrone tried a power play, overplayed his hand and no owner in his right mind would have caved to his demands.  HE himself admitted he screwed it up and that he learned a lot from it and he regretted it.

Yes, the comparason to Dak is premature.  But let's not label Peterman "garbage".    Dak plays behind the best line in the NFL his rookie year and has Zek and a great WR and TE cast.  Peterman has McCoy.  

 

Well the Bolts just destroyed the Boys. Dak looked like garbage behind a great line, WRs, a HoF TE, and an RB who has run for more than 1000 yards. Wonder how he would have looked behind Mills and Ducasse, with no # 1 WR (and no legit #2)?

Yeah we will get to hear about how awesome Cousins and his .452 win percentage are while he throws for 400+ yards and still figures out ways to lose

Anyone else enjoy the irony of scheduling the Redskins on Thanksgiving

Could be. I'm happy fr A. Lynn. Good guy. Good coach.

Haha...well they WERE a part of it...they had no idea 100 years or less later we would completely screw them over

Thinking about watching the college game instead.

He sure as heck looks like a completely different QB this year without Zeke. He looks confused and indecisive. Can't seem to carry the team

 

Romo commentating too.. how awkward

Part of me thinks Romo was secretly laughing on the inside watching this game unfold.

But the owner caved to all of McDermott’s demands, who had shown exactly nothing before this job? That’s an interesting change in Pegula’s philosophy. The guy has no clue how to run a sports team. I think we’re well past the point of arguing that.

Would you take Tyrod over Rivers on any given Sunday? I know I wouldn't. You can try to use QB ratings and whatever you want, Rivers is clearly the better QB.

True, but I DID actually want Lynn as head coach. I thought it made the most sense. 

 

Having said that, I really do like the McDermott/beane combo and think they'll get us where we need to be 

[Kirby Jackson]

Anyone watching the egg bowl?!? One of the nastiest injuries that I’ve ever seen to Nick Fitzgerald.

On a day where I know I need passing yards to win I want Rivers. On a day where the turnover battle will decide the winner I want Tyrod. I would take Rivers over Tyrod on any given Sunday but I wouldn’t feel 100% confident in my choice like I would with a Brady or Brees. Just depends on which side of Rivers I’ll get but the past few games in a row it’s been the good Rivers.

If I'm playing to win the game, I start Rivers.  If I'm playing for draft position, I start Tyrod
