Jags: 12 Skins: 0

I agree with you 100%. I think the guy is motivator of men. But his game day decisions have been horrible. And I am not the only one to think so: "The Mike Tomlin experience was in full effect. A game that began with the Steelers as 10.5-point favorites turned into a last-minute loss, one questionable decision at a time, to make it three ‘Ls’ in a row, leaving their playoff fate now hanging in the balance." https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/12/10/18133844/steelers-ben-roethlisberger-injury-return-raiders-loss-mike-tomlin

I guess it's a black Monday date for Gruden then. That shouldnt stop Dan from firing Allen RIGHT NOW though

Exactly. The salary is the determining factor in the comp pick. And there is no one breaking the bank for HaHa after what he put on film this year so far.

I just listened to Jays presser and it was pathetic. Placing blame on ghost penalties is simply a losers excuse. Those offensive penalties had nothing to do with his defense getting consistently gashed. Yes. He was dealt a ****ty hand with the injuries AGAIN this year. But the healthy side of the ball was abysmal yesterday. And worse yet his players quit on him. I actually like Jay. And defended him hard over the past two seasons. But it is time for him to go.

How does a GM who has made the incredibly horrible decisions such as Allen has keep his job? Lets go down the list FROM JUST THIS SEASON: 1) Lose Cousins. Yes Cousins didnt want to be here and wasnt going to sign a long term deal with the Skins. but how much of that decision was based on Allen's ineptness when he had a chance to lock Cousins up long term? 2) Trade for Alex Smith. I was actually OK with this decision when it happened. But i was unaware of a 71 MILLION DOLLAR FULL INJURY GUARANTEE in that contract. Just a horrifyingly stupid decision for a guy that has a minor injury history and was 33 years old. Not only that but we lost a good CB and a 3rd rounder in the deal. 3) Trade for Clinton-Dix. Wasted 4th rounder for a guy that has no idea what a tackling angle is. 4) Claim Rueben Foster. He may end up being a baller for us. But was the PR hit worth that possibility. 5) Throw a Skins legend out to take the heat for the Foster decision. Instead of talking to press himself. Allen decides to send out Williams to get trounced by the media. DISGUSTING. 6) Another losing season on the horizon. The Skins were 6-3 at one point this season and are on their way to another epic collapse. None of this takes into account the **** show that has been Bruce Allen over the past decade. Shanny, losing young up and coming coaches that turn out be gold, Scott McCloughan Etc, Etc, Etc.....Not to mention the clubs record under Allen: 41-68. It is WAY PAST TIME for this wanna be football GM to hit the road.

That doesnt really matter as whoever gets named temporary coach is going to be gone at the end of the year anyways if you fire Gruden. For me you shouldnt fire Gruden if you dont fire Allen at the same time. They have both had more than enough time to turn this franchise around. It is time for both of them to go.

I had been avoiding the nuclear option the past couple of seasons because I believed that Gruden was a decent coach. I WAS WRONG. It is time to blow the whole thing up. So here are my thoughts on that: I was playing with some of the cap numbers and the Skins can realistically get out of Smith's contract hell by cutting Brown, Norman and Reed. That is a start. I would add Thompson and Davis to the trash heap in the off season as well. You could obviously try to trade them and get something out of them. But who wants our trash? That would put us around 18-20 Mill under the cap by my calculations. Even with having to eat Smiths contract. That should be enough to go after a decent QB in the off season. Whoever that is debatable. But both Tyrod Taylor and Teddy Bridgewater should be available this year. And you could use your first or second rounder to take a QB to groom in the mean time. Here is my plan: FIRE GRUDEN AND ALLEN RIGHT NOW. Hire a REAL GM and let him find his head coach. Off season cuts or trades. Alex Smith. Post June 1 cut. Cap hit -19.5 million Josh Norman. Cap savings: +8.5 Million Jordan Reed. Cap savings: +6.1 Million Zach Brown. Cap savings +5.75 Million Vernon Davis. Cap savings +5.0 Million Stacy Mcgee. Cap savings +2.4 Million Chris Thompson. Cap savings +3.0 Million Net cap gain: +11.25 Million. With the cap increase and our current salaries that would leave us roughly 18-20 Million under the cap. Sign: Offense: Ty Nsekhe. He has become invaluable as our swing lineman. Pay the man for 2 or 3 more years. A QB. Either Bridgewater or Taylor on a 2 or 3 year deal. Maybe Josh Johnson or Butt Fumble could hold you over until a rookie is ready to play? A LG. We need a LG to make the line complete. There will be some decent ones available this off season. Saffold and Iupati should both be available. either would be great next to Trent. Defense: A slot CB. We are going to be young on the outside at corner next year. Need a vet in the room. A ILB. I dont think there is going to be anything good on the market. But you will need another body in the room. Draft: Round 1: QB, WR or CB best player available at those 3 positions. Round 2: QB. WR or CB Best available left after whichever you chose in first. Round 3: CB, TE, OG or WR. A QB must be drafted in the first 2 rounds this year. Rounds 4-7 best player available. We are going to need a pass catching TE, G and at some point though. That gives you a depth chart like this: Offense: QB: Teddy Bridgewater or Taylor, Rookie QB, Maybe a 3rd like McCoy/Johnson/Butt Fumble RB: Guice, Bibbs, Perine, Marshall and a Rookie/Cheap FA WR: Rookie WR, Doctson, Harris, Richardson, Chesson, Quinn, Davis, Sims TE: Sprinkle, Cheap FA- Maybe Reed or Davis would be willing to take a team friendly deal? and Rookie TE OT: Williams, Moses, Nsekhe, Christian OG: Scherff, FA Guard, Bergstrom, Bowanka, Rookie swing player Center: Roullier, FA/Rookie Defense: DL: Allen, Payne, IO, Settle, Brantley, Rookie/cheap FA ILB: Mason Foster, Rueben Foster, Hamilton, Harvey Clemons OLB: Kerrigan, McPhee, Anderson, Mckinzey and a Rookie Edge CB: Rookie, Moreau, Dunbar, Johnson, Stroman, Alexander, Cheap FA S: Swearinger, Nicholson, Everett, Apke, Rookie/Cheap FA Teams: Way, Hopkins, Sundberg. Now. This isnt a Super Bowl winning roster by a long shot. But it should make you competitive while your new coach and GM get their feet under them. It gives you a pretty versatile roster as well. Nice balance of youth and age. Obviously that roster is over 53 players. But you would have the Practice Squad to stash a couple of rookies on. Continue building through the draft and you could be a real contender in a couple of seasons.

I just watched Jay's postgame press conference and he is a defeated man. He has had enough. And you can see it in him.

What are you talking about. One of them beat us in the Super Bowl?

Note to Dan Snyder, If you fire Bruce and Jay this week I will buy 6 tickets to the Eagles home game and bring my entire family. If you dont I will not buy another ticket and attend another home game as long as you own the team. Sincerely, A fed up fan.

I am officially off of the keep Gruden till the end of the year bandwagon. I have been defending him for 2 seasons and it is just time. Gruden and Bruce need to go tonight. Season on the line and the team lays a disgusting rotten egg. He had 5 years. Time to move on. We can cut Norman, Reed and Brown and eat Smiths contract. That would still leave us with 12 Mill for FA. Those guys are gonna be gone anyways. Time to blow it all up and start from scratch IMO.

You are late to the party pal. I have been drunk since the first quarter. No other way to tolerate this **** show. Hmmm.

So who started Johnson on their fantasy playoff team? 7 point play right there!
