Anyone else see this weekend as a potential crossroads for the season?
We’re 3-4. Last week we had a very poor performance vs the Giants. Jonathan Allen’s comments after last game showed the frustration in the locker room. Ron is the betting favorite for first coach fired. Oline changes with Gates on the hot seat. Now trade rumors for Sweat. I think this team either bounces back and shows some grit with a strong performance vs the Eagles, or we completely implode.
Unfortunately, even with a win against the Eagles this week I think our ceiling this year is as a .500 team (we’re too inconsistent for much better than that). But at .500 we could be in the wild card conversation late in the season, which I would enjoy. The alternative could be Ron losing the locker room and this gets really ugly.
Bouncing back and showing grit is not something I want to see this team do. The writing is in the wall for the entire front office and coaching staff. As much as I hate seeing our team lose, there is no reason for them to AGAIN be mediocre and go 8-9 or 7-10. Another middle first round pick.
This locker room needs to get ugly. I love the dudes we have, but clearly it ain’t just coaching.
