We have two chances to can Ron and this coaching staff: Black Friday or the Bye Week. Since we’re most likely getting boat raced on Thanksgiving, I elect to fire Paddleboat and Dust Up on Friday morning. That gives you 9 days, until the next game @ home Vs. Miami (which might be a bigger beat down than the beat down we’ll get against the Cowboys). You give EB 9 days to get his affairs in order, and get the team prepared. He’ll have to be a tank commander for the rest of the season. No more clueless paddleboat or “special” Jack twiddling their thumbs up their noses on the sidelines.

That’s the beauty of it, you can still lose all of those games w/o Rivera there to stand stone-faced on the sidelines with his stupid crossed arms. We’re not beating the Rams or Jets, so you can wipe that thought from your head. We don’t have the heart or the OL to withstand both of those DL’s. I’d fire Rivera’s ass & Dust Up’s ass on Friday morning at the latest. Stop being patient for no reason. Paddleboat & Dust Up don’t deserve to stay on past next week. They haven’t earned it.

These are our next six games after today: @Cowboys Dolphins @Rams @Jets 49ers Cowboys LMAO @ any coach, much less an interim HC in Bieniemy winning a single game in that final stretch. You don’t have to worry about “dumb fans” getting riled up about some possible fluke victories by a possible interim HC in Bieniemy, because it simply won’t happen. You can fire Ron & JDR on Thursday night or Friday morning after our upcoming blowout loss to Dallas, and not miss much of a beat.

What does it matter if we fire everyone today, versus waiting 6 or 7 weeks? The losing will continue either way, and no one will fail Harris for making changes whether it be now or in early January. This coaching staff and FO don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt at this point. This is the worst coaching staff in the league hands down, and an example has to be made here, before complacency starts becoming old. Somebody has to be fired here, with the most logical choice being Del Rio. I don’t give a damn that we have no adequate assistants on defense to replace him, they can’t be any worse than Dust Up has been the entire season. This is a historically awful defense, and somebody has to pay for this disaster. If it’s Dust Up, Paddleboat Rivera or all of them, an example has to be made NOW. We already know we’re keeping Howell for next year. I don’t need 6-7 more weeks to evaluate anyone else besides Howell. Everyone else besides #14, 17, 8, 93, 94 and #1 should be expendable. There is no other reason for keeping the coaching staff until the end. Bieniemy can be interim until early January.

The Giants moved the ball up and down the field at will in the 1st half against this team. If we were playing a halfway decent opponent, that would've been a 28-0 or 35-0 halftime score. The defense was about as pathetic as it gets in that 1st half. They get a little bit of credit for what they did in the 2nd half, but overall they were a C- or D+ at best. They made Tyrod Taylor look like Lamar Jackson for 2 Quarters, and he probably had his best day passing the ball in several years. The whole D this year has been unacceptable and unforgivable. Just a horrific season, and one that is entering the days of Haslett or Barry, where we wake up on game day, wishing to just hold opponents below 30, and not have opposing QB's or WR's have season high or career high days against us. Isn't it hilarious that the one time we finally have an offense that looks like it can score 20-24 points per game consistently, our supposedly "strong" defense reverts back to the Haslett/Barry days, and we give up 30 PPG? It never ends with this team.

You think this defense is capable of holding a lead, much less a blowout?? This will be the typical game (extremely frustrating), which is back and forth until late in the game, when DeVito throws a pick or fumbles the ball. It will probably be a one score game. I would be shocked if we won by 10-14 points or more. This defense will let DeVito have over 200 Yards passing and at least 2TD's minimum. It's what we do best. Keep in mind, that this team in 4 years under Rivera has only won a game by 20+ or more exactly 2 times (both times strangely enough to the Cowboys). We're incapable of blowing teams out, or even winning games by 14+ or more. We're just not built that way.

This is going to be quite possibly the worst opponent we face all year, and one of the worst Giants teams in recent memory. With all of that said, this will STILL be a close game, but I have Washington eeking out a win. Tommy DeVito will have his best day all year throwing the ball, and Saquon Barkley should do well against us (like he always does). I think we can throw the ball on the Giants, so if we get a lead early, we should be able to hold on, but the defense will definitely make it hard for us to feel confident that we can convincingly. N.Y. Giants 21 Washington 28 I think DeVito will have the ball with a chance to win the game, but they go 4 & Out around the WSH 30, and we collectively exhale and unclench our assholes.

Dallas is a juggernaut at home. I actually think that if the game were played in Landover, we would definitely have a chance to win. Dallas is a BEAST at home lately. They are the kind of team that demolishes bad teams (especially at home). We're going to run into a Buzzsaw on Turkey Day, and we'll probably be too overwhelmed to match Dallas point for point. Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence and that defense play a LOT better at home than they do on the road. I actually think that Howell might get sacked 5+ times, and that the Dallas defense will tee off on this OL and Howell. Dallas against bad teams is a scary sight. We definitely qualify as a bad team.

It doesn't matter how Howell performs that game. We might score 30 and STILL lose by 15-20. Have you watched this defense this year?? Dallas is going to ABUSE this defense, and we'll have a very difficult time trying to keep up. Howell might very well have his best game of the season numbers wise, but it's not going to matter, if we're down late in the game 49-30. I don't care about wins at this point, since the competitive part of our season ended yesterday (it really ended against the Giants, but yesterday was the absolute confirmation). At this point, I'm only watching to see Howell's development. That's the only important thing going forward until Black Monday.

We're NOT beating Dallas on Turkey Day. Dallas actually has a quality NFL offense (especially at home where they are unbeatable). The only way we're winning that game, is if Howell has the game of his life with 400+ yards, 4TD's or more in a shootout. Lord knows we can't stop ANY offense, let alone a Dak-led offense at home. We're probably going to lose by 2-3 scores, and I might be conservative with that prediction.

You’re not the only one who was thinking this. I was hoping we’d score with no time left for the Seahawks to try to march down the field for a GW FG. I was silently disappointed that we scored with :52 left. I knew that Seattle had enough time (along with timeouts) to get to FG range and win the game.

We don’t have a shot a Caleb or Drake. To me, those are the only two QB’s that are as close to can’t miss prospects as there are in the upcoming NFL draft. There’s no other QB I’d draft after those two, if Howell finishes the year as a clearly defined starting QB, or even a top 10-15 QB numbers wise. Penix, Nix, McCarthy and the other potential 1st Round QB’s aren’t going to be as good as Howell is right now. In the case of Penix Jr. and Nix, they are already coming in older than Howell is right now. I think our best course of action this offseason is to draft OL and/or TE early and often, and surround Howell with a capable line, so that he can excel even further moving forward. We’re not going to be in line for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye, so we aren’t going to be able to draft any franchise level QB’s as good as those two are.

It’s not just DK. Tyler Lockett & JSN are very good, very capable WR’s. Lockett is probably the most underrated, under-appreciated WR in the NFL. Our secondary is going to have a REALLY bad day at the office, if we can’t get Geno outside of the pocket. I agree that our defense might give up 40+, if we’re not absolutely stout today. We’re going to have to score, and score quite often for us to have a chance in this game.

When you have a defense like this team’s defense, ANY OFFENSE is high powered, if the opposing QB is competent. We’re EXTREMELY lucky that we faced Mac Jones last week, and not a competent (or God forbid a great QB). Any other QB not named Mac Jones (or Desmond Ridder) would’ve easily handled our defense last week and won. Seattle has some great WR’s and a pretty good RB in KW III. If Geno is comfortable in the pocket on Sunday, he’s going to torch us with ease. We need to probably score 30+ if that’s the case.

I wouldn't be so sure regarding that Luck take. Luck was outstanding his rookie season, when you look at the Colts record that year (11-5). Luck's 6 seasons were the best of any QB since Dan Marino. He had three 30TD seasons, including one 40 TD season in 2014. He was definitely on his way to breaking passing records at his trajectory, but the Colts did him no favors by giving him a horrific OL to play with his first 5 years. The OL was actually getting better right before Luck retired in 2018, so we'll never know if he would've stayed in the NFL had he been more patient. The only QB's that have matched or will exceed Luck's first few seasons statistically are Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow. As a note, the Colts had an 11-5 record in each of Luck's first 3 seasons. They also went to the playoffs for all but 2 seasons that Luck played in Indy, including an AFC Championship. Luck was a phenomenal QB, that had a chance to be an all-time great had he played with a better OL.

Bryce Young is just too small for the NFL QB position in today's game. He can't see over defenders, and he doesn't have the physical capabilities to elude the rush from the pocket like the prototypical QB's playing the position today. Young doesn't have a talented squad (or good coaching if we're being honest here) to make up for his deficiencies in size and physicality. To avoid the bust label, he's going to have to get to a team with a loaded roster of fast WR's and a dominant OL (like he had at Alabama). He's the kind of QB that can become average to above average, if his team's talent is significantly better than the opposing team. If Young is the QB of an average squad or worse, he's not going to be long for this league, because he's not good enough to overcome size and strength. If Carolina's FO doesn't get smart and load up on weapons and OL in the next 2 seasons. Young will definitely become a bust, because he can't overcome being on an average or bad team. Since Carolina gave up a LOT just to trade up to get Young, he's going to be pushed hard by the NFL community and the media to perform up to a standard that I'm not sure he can get to. Not having a 1st/2nd next draft and a 2nd in 2025, is going to force them to go on a spending spree to improve the team.

Unfortunately, I agree with all of this. There’s no way we’re beating San Francisco, Miami or Dallas on Thanksgiving. That’s three guaranteed losses right there. If this team wants to get into the playoffs as the 7th seed, they need to have 8 wins MINIMUM. That means that we need to win the rest of the games on our schedule that aren’t SF, Dallas & Miami. We HAVE to beat the Seahawks on Sunday to have any chance at getting in as a wildcard. I have no idea if this team can beat the Jets & Rams on the road, but those are must wins too, as is the Giants game next Sunday at home with Tommy DeVito starting at QB for NYG. If we can get to Thanksgiving at 6-5, then we have a decent chance to be a wildcard team. 5-6 or worse = goodnight Irene. That final home game against Dallas is also the key to us getting into the playoffs. Dallas won’t win the division, so hopefully they’re the 5th or 6th seed by the time we play them. If they have the 5th or 6th seed locked up, they probably won’t play their starters that last game, so if we need to win that game to get in as #7, that makes the winning that game less daunting.

Seattle is not what they were last year, and Geno Smith is reverting back from what was his best season as a pro. Unfortunately for us, I think Geno will have a get right game against Washington, because our D can't stop anyone that's halfway decent, and the Seahawks are coming off of a blowout loss yesterday against the Ravens. I do think that we'll keep it close for about a half, and maybe into the 3rd Quarter, but Seattle will run away from us in the 4th, and our D will fail to contain their offense: Washington 21 Seattle 34

Dak’s line is above average to great, and he has legitimate weapons, and a true #1 WR in CeeDee Lamb. For Dak, there’s no excuse for him to not get to NFC Championship Games. Dak as an underdog in games over his career is 7-12. As the favorite he’s well over .500. That tells me that he can beat bad teams like the Rams, Jets, Giants (and us) like a drum with regularity, but when he has to play stiffer competition, or teams better than the Cowboys, he turns back into a pumpkin. He never has good games when it really counts, like against the 49ers, or against the upper echelon teams in the NFC over the years, like the Packers. He’s been compared to Kirk Cousins for years, but I’ll take Kirk 10 times out of 10, because he knows to get the ball to his weapons in important games and in the playoffs, and Kirk can carry teams on his back if they need to be helped. The Cowboys have won 12 games in each of the last two years, and both times their season has come to an embarrassing end at the hands of San Francisco. Both playoff losses to San Francisco can be attributed to Dak. He fails to live up to the challenge each and every time. There’s no doubt in my mind that they’ll be a wild card team, and lose to San Francisco or Philadelphia if/when they play those teams in the playoffs. Hell, I’d put money in Detroit beating them in the playoffs if they played against them.

I would generally say that Mahommes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Jackson & Lawrence are franchise QB's that can at least get you to a SB, if you have the right coach and complimentary offense. Hurts is right around this territory too, so I'll include him in on this list. Goff, Cousins and Purdy CAN get you to a SB, but they'd have to have a complimentary defense or high level skillplayers (like Justin Jefferson for the Vikings) to thrive. For everyone else, it's a long shot. Dak for me isn't in the Top 10. He's clearly a step below the Goff's, Cousins and Purdy's of the world, let alone the franchise level QB's like Mahommes, Burrow, etc. Dak is not clutch, he disappears in big games, and he doesn't elevate his teams in any capacity. He shrinks when the stakes are high, and he essentially becomes a net negative for the Cowboys, if they have to come back from a deficit. He's a frontrunner QB in every sense of the word. He's a guy you CAN'T pay, because you're going to be handcuffing your team for the next several seasons, and there's a clear ceiling with Dak as your QB.

Jackson is a former MVP, and he's currently playing at or above the level of his 2020 MVP season. If he wins multiple MVP awards, he's definitely in that Top 5 QB list. The only thing missing from his resume is playoff wins. If he gets to an AFCG, he's definitely in the Top 5 conversation. Herbert has incompetent coaching that he has to deal with on a weekly basis, so that's why he doesn't win as regularly as someone with his talent should. He's a Top 5 QB in my opinion, no doubt. Until they fire Staley, and hire a competent coach to guide that team, the Chargers will never be a serious SB contender (to no fault of Herbert).

You need a Top 5 QB to get you in the conversation of winning a SB. If you're a Top 10 QB, it can still happen, but you need really talented pieces around you to get the job done. Look at the teams that are SB contenders this year. The only teams with Top 10 QB's that aren't serious contenders are the Vikings (Cousins), and the Chargers (Herbert). In the case of the Vikings, they simply reverting back to form from last year, where they were the best team in NFL history in one score games (11-1) plus Cousins just tore his Achilles, so there goes their chances at any realistic shot at contention. In the case of the Chargers, they have a terrible HC AND their highly paid defensive isn't performing up to par. Every other team that has a Top 10 QB is a threat to win the SB. If you don't have a Top 10 QB, then you won't win a SB, simple as that. You're not beating top tier QB's like Mahommes, Burrow or Hurts in the postseason, if the QB on the other side isn't on that level. San Francisco is an interesting case, because before their 3-game slide, we were wondering if Purdy was ascending before our eyes into that Top 10 plateau. It's clear now that he's kind of a system QB, and that Shanahan is a great offensive mind in creating the SF offense to make a less talented QB like Purdy flourish.

No, not at all. Herbert & Jackson are Top 5 QB's, when looking at the list overall. The top QB's in the NFL right now are Mahommes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, Jackson and Lawrence. Those are the QB's that can win you games and put the team on their backs. After those 6, I would have Hurts, Goff & Cousins right below them. Those 3 are very good, but need help around them to win a SB. They can't carry teams on their back, but they do everything else well. The guys after them on that list are either average, or below average as you get further down the list. If you want to be a serious SB contender, you would like to have a Top 6 QB. You can still win a SB if you have a guy like Cousins, Goff or Hurts, but you need to have a damn good roster to be in the conversation. The Top 6 names on that list will always be in the conversation to win a SB every year. One name I left off that could be in that Top 5 list is Aaron Rodgers. He got hurt a few plays into this season, but I think that he could've been in that Top 5 conversation if he didn't get hurt. He did win 2 out of the last 3 MVP awards. We'll see how he looks after the Achilles injury. If Sam can get himself into that Top 10 conversation, then our future is looking bright. Just fill out the holes in the rest of the roster (OL, LB and CB) and we'll definitely have a brighter future once we can settle in a new HC and GM.

Yuck at all these names. We just suffered for 4 years with a defensive minded, dinosaur of an HC in Rivera. Why would we move even further away from what works currently in the NFL, which is young, offensive minded coaches? All those names are either retreads, or defensive coaches. No bueno. Just go after someone on Kyle Shanahan's staff, Sean McVay's staff or go all in on the hottest coaching prospect this offseason (Ben Johnson). No more retreads, and I can't emphazise this enough: NO MORE DEFENSIVE MINDED COACHING HIRES!!!

Bill Belichick is still the GOAT at defeating young rookie QB’s. Since Sam is technically still a rookie, and our offense tends to be Jekyll & Hyde from week to week, I see a close low scoring game with the Pats coming out on top: Commanders 16 Pats 20
