Ireland Defenders Please Read

He traded up for Daniel Thomas.

He traded up for Miller too.

As far as Dion Jordan goes who's made a bigger impact on their team...Jordan or Ezekiel Ansah (24 tackles, 7 sacks, 2 FF)? Jordan or Star Lotulelei (Has solidified the Panthers run defense, 38 tackles, 2 sacks and we have two impending free agents in Starks and Soliai)? Jordan or Tyler Eifert (38 receptions, 439 yards and 2 TDs as the #2 TE for Cincy)?

So with the same players we beat the Patriots(who just destroyed the Ravens yesterday) last week, and got shutout by the Bills yesterday... With the SAME players...

The Jaguars have several wins. In fact, they looked pretty good in a couple of them. They are not a talented football team.

We beat the Patriots because our QB was red hot in the second half and a practice squad player got his one and maybe only chance to ever play in a real game and seized the day.

The NFL is a league of matchups. We match up well with the Patriots right now because they are missing their best receiving threat and their best defensive players. They do not have a great pass rush.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Any team that has a better than average D-line will give us fits because we have the worst O-line in the NFL.

When they dont make the right moves they are fired. Ireland has the relatively unique ability to consistently make the wrong moves yet remain employed.

Fair enough and perhaps at the end of this season that will be his fate. I personally have no problem with it! I can't quote any stats but I'm guessing on those team where the GM was replaced, more times than not, it didn't equate to greener pastures.

That's what scares me! A lot of fans seem to think that by getting rid of Ireland we automatically are going to get something better. IMO, it more likely that we revert as a team than get propelled forward with a new GM coming in.

Here's probably a simpler way of looking at it. Of the teams in the league that fans admire, that "dream" roster/coaching staff etc that they wish was there own. How many of them are ran by newly acquired GMs vs. GMs that have been there for awhile?

Further for all the "sucky" teams how many of them have had a revolving door at GMs. Because, after all it's the GMs fault and the "next one" will be better.

But they still destroyed the Ravens... By no means im saying we have a great roster but there are a lot of issues with the CS. They pulled a stinker thats it, there's no explanation for that, you really think this team doesn't have enough TALENT to put points on the board against the Bills?

And the Rams beat the Saints. We have given up the most sacks in the NFL. We cut that number in half by replacing ONE player with a player who had already proved he wasn't very good. That's how bad our OL is.

People wanted to blame Ryan Tannehill for the sacks, can you believe that. You got two tackles being routinely walked right back into the QB and people are blaming him for not pulling a Houdini on every play. He had the second fastest release on passing plays in the entire league -- more than a half second faster than the average -- and people were saying "he's holding the ball too long."

Maybe, just maybe, our offensive line sucks. It sucks a lot.

You guys crack me up. Let's stick with a GM who has proven to be bad for the sake of consistency? Hey, you know who tried that?

Detroit.

You have your cause-effect relationship inverted.

If anything he's getting better!

The 1st overall pick, the 15th overall pick, a second round pick, 2 third round picks, a fourth round pick, a 6th round pick, $25 million contract to Justin Smiley, $29 million contract to Jake Grove, $42 million contract to Vernon Carey, $5 contract million to Tyson Clabo. And much more. Still gave up a franchise record of sacks.

But hey, at least Ireland got offset language in his first round picks! In order to prevent players from collecting their entire contract if we cut them, Ireland fully guaranteed their contracts. We are trendsetters!

I might have to add the first paragraph to my sig!

He's made a ton of mistakes, but that still isn't going to stop me from rooting for us to get in the playoffs. Simple as that.

 

[Daytona Fin]

Before the season started, my main goal for this team was to make the playoffs. We are within that goal with one week to play. If we make it , I feel this year was a success. If not it will be a disappointment for me.

That being said, I am not looking forward to a 2014 rebuild process. If it happens ,so be it. If it doesn't, so be it.

He should have been fired when the whole dez Bryant thing went down. What gm does this? Unfortunately, our gm garners more attention for his stupidity and bad decisions than for the product that he places on the field.

I don't think a rebuild is needed. We have some talent, some of that got injured and that always hurts. We just need a few pieces here and there, maybe one good draft away from being that team. When you draft leaders, or even pick up a good free agent or two, other players feed off of that and it makes them better. A full rebuild, in my opinion, would just set us back more time, time we don't want too waste because our qb is going to be going into his prime, and we don't want to waste those years.

That's why i say a new GM is going to change a lot of the pieces and its going to set us back and that includes a possible coaching change and then we are stuck in a NYJ situation.

Sounds great. Maybe the new gm will feel the same way, rarely works that way though.
