Gruden never went 3 years in a row without making the playoffs

Also interestingly enough, Gruden's 1998 Raiders suffered a late season collapse

What?  A Gruden team suffering a late-season collapse?  Unpossible!

Ya, this late season collapse was my favorite.

Would suggest everybody take everything he writes as a joke.

BucBalla85 knows a lot about football.

haha, I know a good amount. Still a young guy so I havent been around to learn as much. Smart enough to know that Raheem deserves his shot after what he has shown so far.

Well, if I looked at the 10-6 record alone, I'd agree with you for sure.   But I think that was a fluke due to a weak  as hell schedule.    If he makes the playoffs this year, I'll say he's the man for the job.

Sounds good, but I doubt the Glazers listen to your opinion on whether playoffs this season is the deciding factor. I guess its always cool to dream though. I do think though that if he has a big setback, like a 6-10 record he wont be back. I think it has more to do with the effort of the players this season than anything. A 6-10 record would mean that the players didnt give their all, and thats on the coach. Especially with the talent on the team. Age/experience is the biggest factor with this team. Everybody who follows this team should know that.

In reality, that's all I'm saying.   If they go 6-10, maybe they should consider that Raheem isn't getting the job done.

I truly believe Raheem will never go 3 years in a row without making the playoffs. The Bucs will win playoff games too, not just get there and lose.

Uh huh.

How about if they quit on him as Players and go 4-12?
