Yeah, they've been drafting for a 4-3.

Sutton is retiring at the end of this season.

My only concern at this point is if Emmitt Thomas "retires" with him.

Thomas needs to go NOW.

Thomas needs to go NOW.

So does Al Harris, and well pretty much everyone on that side of the ball.

I just hope nobody is promoted from within.

The defense needs brand new blood.

Not happening, Canuck.

Reid isn't going to fire his longtime DC on the cusp of HFA.

Buttons retires at the end of the year. We need Old Man River Emmitt Thomas to be gone with him.

Britt Reid will still be Dline coach, at least.

Hope he DOESN'T get promoted to DC...

I'd rather fire Thomas today and let Al Harris be DB coach for next week and playoffs. Of course, he's a team legend and that will never happen...

And there lies the entire problem with Reid.

He knows the defense is atrocious. Sitting Scandrick and Parker is not sending a message - it is desperation. The two rookies looked scared shitless out there (Ward/Smith), and Sorenson has no business replacing Parker either.

Firing the playcaller sends a real message of accountability this late in a season.

FUCK NEXT YEAR. FUCK THE DEFENSE IS A YEAR AWAY NARRATIVE. YOU HAVE A WIZARD AT QB WITH AN OFFENSE ABOUT TO GET HEALTHY BUT YOU ALLOW THE ELEPHANT TO STAY IN THE ROOM? FUCK THAT NOISE.

I want some offensive players to speak up. This team could use some tension/infighting. Enough with Reid’s “we gotta be better” speeches.

Embrace the urgency. Sutton needs to be canned TODAY.

The only time that I thoroughly enjoy the NYC media. They never hold back.

I can't imagine what the headlines would be like right now if this was the NY media. Sutton would be getting torched.

I guess best spin on yesterday is that was what Reid was trying to do by benching Parker and Scandrick?

Actually Sutton needed to be canned YESTERDAY! But I get, and agree, with your point.

Reid should have pulled a Zimmer and fired Sutton after the Chargers loss and gave whoever 10 days to prepare. But he is way to loyal.

Could the defense be worse if they fired him? No? Then do it. Even if the next coach is just as bad, maybe it lights a fire. Maybe it's a reset button that helps somehow. It can't get much worse.
