samy316 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I didnβt see this posted anywhere, so I thought it would be best to drop this here: Β Β Β Apparently the Cowboys-Bills game got a higher TV rating locally in DC than Commanders-Rams (by almost 100K viewers). Β This ownership group really has it work cut out for them. Β The renewed interest the team had after the team was sold in July has drastically dropped. Β I donβt think the goodwill has completely disappeared of course (seeing that the new ownership group hasnβt made any major moves yet), but I do think this is another blinking red light to how far this franchise and fan base has fallen, and what it will take to bring fans back. Β I think we might see a VERY active offseason, with several free agent signings and a new 1st Round QB selected.

NoVaSkins21 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) The minute a new GM and HC is hired, this team will be better off than under Rivera and Mayhew's entire tenure.Β This team will finally have direction.Β Patience will be the key, but it will feel good to have that structure for the first time since the late to early 80s to the late 90s Edited December 19, 2023 by NoVaSkins21 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinzplay Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 To his credit, Harris is a man of his word. I would've fired RR after the Chicago game. The entire league would've understood why, and why now. It encapsulated so much of the RR era, much luke the Cheeseman debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron never really tried to build roster. It was more like putting bandaids on a broken leg like the Wentz signing, or even worse putting a bandaid on a heart attack with the Wylie signing. It was like he was always trying to do just enough to sneak into the playoffs and not really building for sustained success as a contender 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Magic Johnsonβs future tweet (probably) about Rivera: Β βRon Rivera was the coach of my Commanders. He lost more games than he won.

TheItalianStallion Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I couldn't help noticing that the 1st and 2nd down defense was better than where it had been since JDR's departure. It does show that they've redone some things over the past 2 games. Now, the 3rd down D is still terrible, and the relative improvement on 1st-2nd down doesn't mean that RR should be retained. But it should factor into the postmortem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what time the game is. If itβs a 1pm game; Josh can have his exit interview that evening. Maybe as a birthday present, he delays the announcement until Monday but there really is no need to delay the inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Except if Rons plays it like an absolute asshole, I'm expecting both to reach a "mutual agreement" so that Ron leaves the teamfairly and respectfully. I'm not expecting a firing in any way, even if that would be the same results. Β We've been classless and messy for so many years, that a little bit of class from our owner would be the best thing indicating that change is coming in the right way; Anything else would be so same ol'... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Β I think we might see a VERY active offseason, with several free agent signings and a new 1st Round QB selected. I'm less concerned about this now, than I was in years past because Snyder is gone. And this isn't unique to us--I doubt very many teams with 4-win records and about to overhaul the coaching staff, front off, and most of the roster in the next couple of months have great local ratings. Β I was all in beginning of the year--and I still am. I just don't care about this team, right now--other than embracing the tank. What, I think, WILL get good ratings this year? The Draft. New owner, high pick, legitimate GM, new, innovative young coach? They'll be a buzz.Β Β This team has gone like the 2005 Nats: At the start of the season, new owner, fans all jacked up on Mountain Dew, and they played reasonably well, starting 2-0, probably should have beaten the Eagles, then the 2nd half, and we all realized how bad they were and the complete rebuild is coming. Β On a side note, we need a countdown in the thread title, (it's 20 says BTW). Β Get on that @88Comrade2000, this is your time to shine, buddy! You've been waiting for this for YEARS!

philibusters Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I like Rivera so I hope Harris handles it in a classy way.Β This was a make or break season for Rivera after his first years were lukewarm.Β Clearly the season broke bad and Rivera has to go, but I think they should treat him with respect on the way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
