Get ready for a healthy dose of running plays against GB. Lynn wants to run. Always did. Damn the torpedoes. Well put Eckeler in cause boy, MG looks HORRIBLE. This isn’t going to be good, at all |

Curious as to why you think TT should go. How? I've been saying this for weeks...
TT can't draft oline, fails at drafting LB'ers, consistently drafts sammy small school that can't compete, has a history of drafting injury prone players, round 4 of the draft? whats that?
Yes it should be obvious to all why TT needs to be terminated.
So your criticism is of the system the Bolts have in place for determining their pick in each round of the draft. Further you get specific about Ol, LB's, and players from smaller schools, etc etc...... I ask you this: Do you think the decisions are being made by TT alone, or are these decisions a product of many influences ?

I believe the message got sent when Whiz got the ax.
Injuries are an absolute fact, no denying it. Then it becomes "what are you doing with the players that are there ?". I don't think they were happy with what they saw.
That Tennessee goal line debacle was an embarrassment. Flat out bad, like bad.
Then last week players dropping passes, Allen falling down, no run blocking holes, etc etc. Something had to give and the OC was who the HC picked.
Did Lynn pick Whiz before they picked Lynn ? I guess we'll never know. ..............................
Whis was kept on as offensive coordinator when Lynn arrived in 2017 (Whis came back as OC in 2016). When Norv was hired in 2007, it was conditioned upon Turner having Cottrell as his defensive coordinator (I believe that AJ had hired his Buffalo connection as DC before his head coach). I haven’t heard anything about a similar conditional offer being made to Lynn, but who knows? 🤷♂️ I like the angle you have, if I may word it differently: Lynn hired Gus and he knew him. Lynn didn't hire Whiz. Bye bye Whiz.

Bottom of the big 3 (Offense, defense, head coach), nobody cares about firing the waterboy or the assistant wide receiver coach.. Ahhh, so it’s the bottom of the top. And every time a coordinator is fired, the other coaches follow in short order. Thanks for that info as this NFL fan for the past half-century was unaware of that inevitability factor. Time to fold up the tent for this Chargers fan. See y’all at draft time. It's just a business man, when the heat gets turned up on a head coach by their boss (The owner) they find a scapegoat they can fire. When the ownership doesn't see any major change, they fire the coach. I've seen this for many, many years all throughout the NFL. I'm surprised with half a century you haven't?

I'm sure Spanos jr. has an influence on who we draft. But TT is the GM and was touted as the Bill Polian aire apparent... I don't think Spanos jr. plays as large a part as you like to suggest.

1. The goalie needs a 5.1 day ban. I don't bore myself with details such as why. Look at it this way, it ain't gonna hurt to do it.
2. The Mods are running a pick em pool like the mafia would. One Mod giving the other late entries, shifty picks, and bonus points from out of the blue heavens somewhere. Recommend reverse 15 minute bans for both of them. An Iron Message must be sent.
Huh, the list wasn't as long as I thought. Who knew ?

No AF, I am not speaking to the influence that might be involved with J Spanos in the mix. I am saying that there is a huge amount of effort that goes into developing any big board, from which the options to choose are provided. In the end, after much discussion, debate, etc etc.....someone makes the decision. Might be TT, might not be, we really do not know. Regardless, there can be no denying any decision is a collaborative effort. Deciding to fire TT just based off of the drafting seems to diminish the value in all of the other responsibilities TT handles, and ignores that collaborative effort mentioned above. If I had a problem with drafting, I would be looking long and hard at my system, not just my GM.

Goalies do not serve any penances......pick a player that was on the ice at time of said infraction. Freak, you are always on the ice......suggestion you take one for the club, eh?

While I think he handled the MGIII dispute appropriately, TT arguably has not had much success bringing in free agents or negotiating contracts in a way that makes players want to come here. ( just wait for the circus that will be the Bosa contract) While that is 100% my opinion... I think the state of the team right now speaks for itself, as well as our last free agent acquisition. 36 year old Thomas Davis... Ummm ok...

I am known as not being very interested in FA's, they rarely produce at the contract level, so TT's lack of signing any big dollars contracts with FA's is fine with me. The Bosa contract will be interesting. Davis isn't horrible, but he isn't costing much either, so.... As far as the state of the team goes, I think AL has maxed out as a HC, and then the injuries seem unprecedented. The rest of the club seems well managed. So new HC, and answered prayers for health next season, eh?

I can't advocate terminating Lynn without TT going with him.

This is my 2 cents; if Lynn wants to run I feel that Ekeler should be the 3rd down back ala Sproles/Woodhead and JJ should be the starter rotating series with MG. I am mad at MG as well but the dude has talent as seen last year. JJ actually has more career big 10 rushing yards than MG does. I like the way he hits the hole than jukes instead of the other way around.
Am I the only one who feels this way? JJ 1a MG 1b EK 3rd down? (EK will probably see more snaps than either of them this way)
