Will this be the end of the Schottenheimer Experiment?

[TheMarathonContinues]

So glad he didn’t trade anymore draft picks away . D D D next April plus free agents .

I wish he did. I trust us doing trades than I do drafting in those rounds.

 

[RonWashington]

500 yards and 27 points and you are still blaming the D? lol

Man.

The offense put up 500 yards plus and 27 what does it take to put a team to sleep 600 yards and 45 points ……

 

[phildadon86]

D was bad but good for their standard. I honestly feel Colts wanted to lose at the end. I dont know what that pass was by Jones.

The fact they didnt run the ball to leave Dallas 50 seconds instead of a 1:30 or whatever it was tells you everything you need to know.

My point was. 500 yards and ONLY 27 points is an offensive failure in my opinion.

 

[RonWashington]

On that Mickey Mouse screen to the WR Dulin that went off to the races with missed tackle after missed tackle Schottenheimer should have stuck out his foot and tripped him I guess

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Who is there to be traded that can't be after the season? I mean there is an argument for Pickens, but if a team doesnt give you what you want for him they might as well just wait and see if Pickens can improve his value with a big 2nd half.

IMO Jerry not going out and grabbing even a couple of lower end guys says more than not trading anyone away. I'm not sure we have many free agents to be that carry any sort of trade value.

You trads guys to improve your draft picks and gain more picks. I get we dont have our first but we still have our 2nd and that could improve.

I don't recall Jerry ever selling and at 80 years old I dont know why he would now a few weeks after trading for Porter.

Jerry isn't selling because he thinks this roster is good enough to fight for the division. We know Jerry at this point.

 

[DogFace]

He signed a 4 year 18 million $ contract and Jerry doesn’t pay people to stay at home . He will be the coach in 27 with hopefully more talent on D to be competitive. Over 500 yards of offense Sunday 27 points and the D still made it a nail biter , had the Irsay daughter scribbling furiously on her note pad.

No.

Noooooooo!!!

Sorry Ron. I can’t accept that. I’m going full denial mode.

 

[RonWashington]

Did you see Minnesota at 6-2 ? They haven’t had 500 yards 27 points since Fran Tarkenton but sure blame the offense .

I dont know about failure. They had 500 yards because they had to overcome penalties and 1st and 20s. Scoring 27 with 14 penalties is probably fortunate.

Damn good point.

 

[RonWashington]

No.

Jerry made MM fulfill all 5 years of his deal and wouldn’t extend until the last year was on the books . He doesn’t pay people to stay home . Get this lousy D right you may win more often .

 

[Majic]

My take.
He wants to keep Parker and his system, but needs to keep seeing improvement. He does not want to change scheme again.
I think Schotty will be gone unless a division win.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah I dont know how they gage players and coaches when they do that but at this point the players want to leave and Shane probably wants to be fired lol.

Yep. No way they can fire another DC before year 2. Parker might be safe.

 

[RonWashington]

In LA Harbaugh hired a lousy coach in McDaniel to run the offense and they are 0-8 .

 

[RS12]

Doesnt matter who the coach is. Until the "winning is optional culture" changes you could reicarnate Tom Landry and it wont change a thing. Jerry is the culture and until he goes all you are going to be provided with is weekly football and gear to buy. If you cant see that I cant help you because if this franchise was going to win by accident, it would have already happened.

 

[CWR]

I know it probably wont be so lets get that out of the way.

However.

If this team shows up the way it has in the past especially after a win. Flat, uninterested, uninspired, and no effort, they are going to get utterly destroyed.

Will that be enough to finally get Jerry to see that Schotty isnt it? Another embarrassment on national television?

Schottys record after a win is enough to tell me that our chances of winning this game are slim.

To everyone who thinks this defense has improved...Well. Get yo popcorn ready.

Anyways back to the original point, if this team comes out flat again, and get destroyed by 20 plus points. Does Jerry put Schotty out of his misery?

I thought wed have to lose to Indy and get mauled by the niners. I dont see it happening now. Its gonna take some consecutive embarrassment. We may have Tennessee next. Maybe that would do it, along with Giant wins.

 

[nobody]

Hes firing Shotty after this year. They aren't waiting around for him.

Only if he fails to make the playoffs. Jerry hates paying coaches that are no longer working for him. That contract runs through the 2028 season.

Now there's a blast from the past. I'm sure the younger members have no idea who that is!! I remember Fran would scramble A LOT, and then throw a pass down the field for 60 yards!! LOL

In the NFL when it passes down from the owner to the grown children it doesn’t get better . This team is the gold Amex card steak dinners and all the booze the suite will hold on Sundays for Sonny Corleone .
