you cant blow entire drafts as a GM as well as FA . and no , dean RR wont be strictly a HC . his career is this

It's awful and I have no clue why Dean would want this work out at all. Why keep a HC and GM who have a fluke year?

Let me ask you this skinsdad and board folks, why has rivera/Mayhew neglected the OLine?

Did they believe our players and free agents were better than they are?

Did they not properly evaluate the free agents and draft picks?

Is OLine not a priority in their overall team strategy...kinda like linebackers?

I am not trying to be funny and am curious what the reason or reasons are.

I think Rivera has done what he was brought here in Washington to do. Provide cover for Snyder and bring some sense of organization and professionalism to the team. He has done that and it is time for him to go. He is great guy and an average coach at best. I wish him well but it is time to move on.

Agreed.

I wonder what their strategy is or was.

I think Rivera always wanted to build an elite defense first and collect offense talent each year to build then offense. His inability to target a qb from the get go always puzzled me.

Perhaps Dean can shed some light on it as he follows Rivera more than I do.

Nicely put.

His job is done and he accomplished his purpose. I always thought he was a transition coach and GM. Just my opinion.

Don't play games dean...come on.
You are here to convince everyone that Rivera could and should be our savior. You have done it for 4 years and I have argued with you for 4 years. You deflecting any and all blame from rivera proves my point. I dont think you realize that you are doing it.

Nothing gives you a rush like someone agreeing with you or being overly excited about Rivera or the team. County said he thought we might get 12 wins and you said " I love your optimism". It was an absurd statement and it proving to be laughable.

Many posters including myself tried to tell you wentz wasn't the qb, but you refused to listen. It had to take the Cleveland game for you to realize you were wrong and that wentz suxed. He is out of the league Dean.

You and i argued about Scott Turner, again, you tried to convince me his offense would work. I told you for 3 years turner was bad. You finally admitted it after the CLE game.


I have told you for 4 years Rivera wasn't the guy. You finally admitted he stinks as a GM but contradict yourself by saying if he wins a playoff game, you want to keep him. What will you do when Rivera is fired?


Let me ask you this

Given what Rivera has done here and in CAR, does he stink as a head coach?

Should the fans support Rivera going in to week 8 and why?

no games. im not apologizing for rooting for my team. Sure, things have not worked out. Winning a playoff game means something., If you are not going to give him credit for winning a playoff game this year with this team which would be a massive overachievement then. I don't know what to tell you. I want to see the team win. You can want RR gone all you like. I would be happy win a playoff win this year.

You didn't answer my questions. You still can't grasp the concept of supporting the team but not Rivera. I was here before Rivera and will be here long after. Rivera isn't a dictator you must support dean.

Why is it a massive overachievement? It's year 4 with total control?

If you want to see the team win, you would understand that we need a GM and better head coach. You do want to win...just under your circumstances with Rivera in control.

I want rivera gone because he sux as a GM and is a bad head coach. How you haven't come to grips with that is amazing. A playoff win literally changes nothing with Rivera.

He would still sux as GM
He would have had 4 winning seasons in 13 years as a head coach.

Those are the facts Dean. I want to be better...you want mediocrity.

You didn't answer my questions.

I know what you want. You cant dismiss winning this year. That is what i support. Its an overachievement b/c he has basically a rookie QBto do this with. If my hypothetical does come true and Harris still fires him than that means RR had no chance at all to prove himself this year to Harris. Which is fine. If Harris wants to clean house, he has every right to do that.

If you want to dismiss the fact of a playoff win with a team who was projected to win 6 or 7 games that's your right. I just disagree. The gm thing could always change in the off season

sure but I just can't dismiss a playoff win this year with this team. if my hypothetical comes true. It would just mean Harris already made up is mind without this season even playing out. Which is fine if he wants to blow it up.

again no evaluation of the past and no focus on the future . do you believe RR can win a superbowl with this team ? that is the only analysis that means anything

no it doesnt but what it takes into account is do they believe RR can win a superbowl with this team in the future , he dismissed one year when he fired doc rivers dean , why ? because he didnt buy that doc could win a title

I can and will dismiss a winning season because Riveras career has shown he is incapable of establishing continued success. The data is there...look for yourself. I don't want a coach who wins every 4 years. He has only won 3 playoff games in his entire career. Is that impressive to you?

Vegas does not dictate the reality of the situation Dean. It is for betting purposes.

Suppose we do use Vegas as a source of truth, why in the world would we have any confidence in someone going in to year 4 with complete authority to only win 7 games? Why would Vegas select that as the total? We are year 4 into riveras rebuild, yet, we are not projected to be .500? Did that not concern you at all?

Who put the team in a place to be projected to win 7 game Dean? Who is in total control here?

What did Rivera need to prove? He was head coach and GM for 3 years and couldn't get a winning record. What else needs to be proven? What is it about Rivera that makes you defend him so passionately and ignore the facts?

You still won't answer my questions!!!!

forget comparing basketball. You damn well know we dont have a Super Bowl roster. Im sure Harris knows that too. IF HArris was going to give RR a fair shot this year a playoff win should be enough. If Harris made up his mind to already move on thats fine too. I fully understand that RR is gone if we have a losing record and miss the playoffs

We do have a Super Bowl roster, minus an OL…a single OL player.

im not defending RR. Im fuly aware he is gone if we lose this year. If Harris was going to give him a fair shot to stay on as coach a playoff win should do that especially if we beat the #2 seed. Im not pro RR at all costs. I just believe if he wins a playoff game this year with this team that should matter. Forget the past. I thought RR had this year to prove something. If you dont give him credit for winning a playoff game then Harris's mind was already made up going into this season.

If harris would have assumed control earlier, he should have fired Rivera but it was to late.

Would you stop mentioning the hypothetical? You have brought it up a million times already.

Why should anyone forget the past? It is called analytics dead. Of you are right, then we should throw data out the window because past performance is not an indicator of future success. You can't say forget the past because that is absurd.

You are still dodging my questions. Why.

Everyone is confused at why you come up with hypothetical situations for him to stay. One would do that because they want rivera to stay.

I think you are holding on to it for dear life because you will have to face the music again that you were wrong. You are tired of being wrong and want rivera to work outnso you can be right. That is why you bring up your hypothetical situation over and over again. Rivera should be gone in your hypothetical situation period. It's not enough.

Why would you want rivera here is he wins a playoff game? Without saying he overachived...what is the reason? You said you are not pro Rivera at all costs...but you are still pro Rivera in some aspect right? Why?????

i am bringing up the hypothetical b/c that is the only way I believe RR can stay here. you guys disagree, that is why we are going back and forth on this. IF the hypothetical doesnt happen then there is no need for all these messages.

IF Harris is going to give RR a fair shot this year and playoff win should be enough to stay. Im pro RR that way. No pro RR if we lose. lol what music? I said he will be gone if we lose. If you are going to fire RR for winning why have him coach this season? Should have just fired RR and gave the HC to JDR.

Disagree.

The point of my responses is to understand why you are supporting Rivera.
To me, it makes little sense for you or anyone to be undecided on Rivera at this point period. I cant see how a single game overrides years and years of information we have on him. We have 3 going on 4 years of frustration and disappointment.

If I am tracking here:
Rivera goes to the playoffs and loses game 1, he is gone.

Rivera goes to the playoffs and wins game 1, welcome back coach Rivera for 2024.

Is this correct? I am not asking what you think harris will do...I am asking you what you personally want to happen. You keep dodging the issue and refuse to say why you would want rivera to stay here and you refuse to answer my questions.

I agree, Rivera should have been fired....but it wasnt logical as harris took over too late. 3 years is plenty of time to show what you can do. Rivera improved 1 game in 3 years. That is bad. Make no mistake, Rivera is here not because of his performance, it is because there was not enough time to build a new front office.

We had Zorn and Spurrier just 2 years each right? The fact that you are still on the fence and 1 game and 1 game only will shape your opinion is just crazy to me. You are literally on the fence and it all boils down to 1 game so you can make up your mind is not logical to me at all. Seems like you are really wanting him here and are mentally coming up with scenarios for him to stay.

Again, past performance generally indicates future actions Dean. We have to rely on harris previous actions because that is all we have to go on with how he will probably handle our situation.

You repeat the same things over and over again.

We all know that you think Rivera should stay if he gets a playoff win. It makes no sense but whatever.

Again, you refuse to see the logic in the situation.

I cant wait until Rivera is gone so we don't have to hear about the glorified 1 playoff win scenerio.
