warfelg Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 No. It will take a few weeks but a few guys will “retire”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 They could fire pretty much everyone for all I care. Tomlin wont be fired, but he shouldn't be extended. Danny Smith is done, for sure. Porter needs to go. Never liked that hire to begin with. Butler has actually had this defense playing fairly well despite lack of talent and inconsistency at certain spots...but they should still be looking for alternatives. Fichtner will get another year. They won't blow it up this year ... but it might not be far off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his OC now, and that won't change, maybe even if there is a new HC but I agree that they won't fire or "retire" tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt a fan of his playcalling, but that seems to be a never ending theme....not just for us, but around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eventually it looked as though arians was here and goodbye to the run in the RZ. Even toady, they went pass happy early and on early downs, not just 3rd down. Just another reason to lose interest is all the talent is on the offence yet they fail on a regular basis. OC can take some blame but there is enough to go around. I would like to see a season of him calling plays as he did for a while when running Connor in the RZ. Until then, I expect the usual passing steelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 only problem I had with the new OC was too much passing at times. Ben led the NFL in pass attempts by games worth more than the next guy..that can't happen again next yr outside of that I liked what I saw from Randy's style and I think he will be willing to adjust for the better next yr(better run/pass ratio and better ways to help brown get open) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 would like to see this offense have another back for depth(they can do better than ridley for the 3rd back), a young TE(since randy loves tight ends..would like to upgrade from jesse and Vance might not be here for long)and a vet WR for depth ..I think these moves can be done for cheap(don't need to use high draft picks to find this kind of depth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 this is bens team, as long as he is here, they will be a passing team. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Butler, Danny Smith, Porter, and Jerry (the other LB coach) all NEED to be fired. Butler just seems out of touch with gameplanning. I would make a damn strong arguement Kevin Colbert also needs to be fired. They wont fire him because whomever they replaced him with would likely want to fire everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Raiders are said to be hiring Mayock for GM. It appears that others out there are available for the GM job, former player as well. Until colbert is gone expect flawed drafts, and with tomlin here, expect more of the same.

warfelg Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'd kinda like Louis Riddick. Not Mayock smart, but he's a smart one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
