I will say, a boss who is unwilling or unable to fire subordinates who aren't performing, really isn't a good boss.

I will also say I don't really care for coaching revolving doors, but Manning has had PLENTY of time.
Amen. I’ve had to fire friends that couldn’t/ wouldn’t perform their job obligations. It sucks. You’re affecting not only them but their families. No one (unless you’re a real sadist) enjoys doing it. It ultimately becomes a question to fire them, and affect their family, or stay the course you’re on, and affect you’re family if you get fired. Time will tell what happens here.

CMC would have to go like 3-9 3 years in a row to even be on a warm seat.

Sure but you can do that all day, and our fan base is great at the, “But if you take away this and that and do this or that.”

He made the plays, especially rushing the ball for the most part. If Dekkers had been in the exact same situation on their TD, do you think he has the composure to avoid that sack and make that throw? I don’t.
Yes but the play I mentioned was an obvious one where we made not one but two huge mistakes to allow it to happen in the first place.

Lots of posts about holding Manning AND Campbell accountable. What exactly is that besides firing them? Also lots of garbage that CW is countering on Twitter too of people calling for CMC's head.

I'm not on twitter, and only seen the Manning has to go on these threads.

But let's put this out here. If there is talent on the offensive side of the ball........then someone doesn't know how to use it. Pick your name.

Does Campbell have a handle on here? Literally the only place I saw people publicly ridiculing Gilbert was on Cyclone Fanatic.

I don't even think CycloneFanatic did that bad, I think us on here had more beef with Campbell going for a FG on 4th and 1 when his kicker had already missed twice that game and a botched snap on a PAT.

Huh? I mean on Twitter sure probably people said stupid ****, but that's Twitter. No one here was dogging Gilbert.

Plus that's a pretty ****** thing to say to your fanbase after you drop two steaming turds in front of them.

Martinez quietly had a pretty solid day stat wise.

12-19 for 246 yds and a TD
19 carries for 77 yds
No turnovers

Would have never guessed it looked that good. He just made the plays that were there for the most part.
Tap the brakes here. If our offense had a pulse, that’s the stat line of the losing QB with 10 points. Our defense was nails.

That's very not Campbell like. Also I feel like he wasn't talked about too much. I am happy he bounced back this week but Campbell is talking about the wrong thing.

I love Campbell but don't love this quote. The fans have continued to do their part and he chose to throw the fanbase under the bus.
The only person I saw blame the kicker last week was our own Ben Burns.

There is all sorts of things that happen with every fanbase, but if you think cyclone fans are anything close to as bad to what happens at other places, you are crazy.

Not disagreeing with that. But read my last part. Do you think has that been us in that situation where a clear sack is missed that’s the result? I don’t think Dekkers even gets the ball to the receiver to catch it. He has happy feet back there.

And here we go........the "us against them". Not good.

I can't speak for anyone else Matt.........but I wasn't here trying to fry an 18 year old kid. I was here trying to fry a 40 something year old millionaire for making the decisions he did last week putting that 18 year old in that position.

When you start pitting the team against the fans Matt........maybe it's time to drink a tall glass of grow the heck up........or find another line of work.

HD will be a fine QB but no way in hell was he starting in front of Purdy last year as a lot on here suggested that he should have. I get Manning isn't great but I think we have to realize this team just isn't that talented on offense which is a shame because this defense is very very good.
