Quote:Actually, I agree with Prisco on this one. Let the season play out and see how everyone, players and coaches react. What's the worst that will happen? The team loses out and gets a high draft pick? The team turns it around and meets the expectations of so many and ends up with a better record than last season?


I remember prior to the season that most on this board thought that a .500 season was out of the question. Many predicted less than that with around 6-10 being the final record. What if the 6-10 record that was predicted is met? Would that not be meeting expectations?


Many on this board last season and the season before were tired of being blown out and the game being decided by halftime. Being competitive and being in a position of at least having a chance to win was a milestone that many were calling for. That milestone has been reached.


The next goal is for the team to learn how to finish games, and I have confidence that it will happen. I also think that the theoretical threshold of 6-10 will be reached and possibly even be exceeded. I wish that I could say that it starts Sunday in London, but I don't think it will happen then. It's going to start after the bye week.


The bottom line is Prisco is right. Firing Gus Bradley does nothing at this point other than conceding and giving up the fight. When you do that, you are accepting defeat and you should not expect a young team to try and get better.
