I wonder what this board would be saying if Taylor wasn't benched and ended up injured, and they had to give him the big contract. Everyone would be bitching, because the bench game was a meaningless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who was hired to comment on the NFL is commenting on the NFL . . . and one of the most universally panned decisions (benching TT in favor of Peterman and the historical precedent) around the country.

I wonder what the other players were saying in the locker room about how the team thought about them and how they were going to approach that game given that we were not playing our best QB. I think the result of that game answers the question. Edited November 30, 2017 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) I doubt McDermott made the call to bench Taylor. Doesn't make any sense. I just hope it wasn't Pegula that made the decision for him. Edited November 30, 2017 by TheTruthHurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am flying up to see UM in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte this weekend. One of the things that I made sure of is that the people with whom I am traveling are not going to give me grief about going to see Arsenal play Man U at one of the local Arsenal Pubs. Great game yesterday. It did look cold though. There was some brilliant moments of Wenger ball. I am convinced that we will definitely finish in the top four. I am not as sure about what to do about Alexis and Ozil though. If they play like they did against City, I would sell and try to get Draxler (always rumored to be going to Arsenal) and someone else (am I allowed to dream about Griezmann). If they play like they did against Spurs, it is a more difficult question. I just would hate to lose them both for nothing . . . especially if their hearts are not into it.

TheFunPolice Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Rex is engaged in reputation building... wait and see. A guy gets on TV and suddenly he's great again. Gruden won with Dungy's team in Tampa then ruined the program but now he could have almost any job he wants and is some kind of guru. Rex will be in the mix for some team's job, especially if there are quite a few open. Chicago makes some sense, given the connections. Redeem the Ryan name in the windy city? The Bears could use some personality or something interesting. It's easy to forget that there is even a team in Chicago.

Ozil was fantastic last night, Sanchez less so. Still think Ozil could stay think Sanchez is off. Looks like Lacazette is out for the next 3 or 4 weeks which would be a blow.

Looks like Lacazette is out for the next 3 or 4 weeks which would be a blow. As for Rex, that is an easy sell given that most objective people would say that it is unfair to fire a guy in less than two years who had the best winning percentage for the last 17 years of the history of the franchise . . . especially given the injuries and people (Whaley? ownership?) throwing him under the bus with leaks moments before a huge game etc. Ozil - He is a very good player when Arsenal are in possession and he is interested. When we are not in possession, it is like playing with a man down. If he moderates his wage demands to a more reasonable amount, extend him. If not, get what what we can in the January window. Sanchez - I suspect he is going to leave as well. I would make another attempt to sign him before the January window closes. If we cannot, I am sure he would have a lot of value to a team still in the Champions league competition. Ozil also would have some value. Lacazette - I made a comment yesterday to another friend of mine who also is an Arsenal supporter. With Lacazatte getting injured, Lacazette is now officially an Arsenal player. Injuries are a rite of passage it seems. Speaking of injuries, I feel horrible for Santi. He is one of my favorite players.

Yea think that is him done. Such a shame. I was at his last game when he came off in the CL Group stage last year. Sad that we won't see him again.

TheFunPolice Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I forgot about the leaks right before big games... totally dysfunctional and obviously aimed at undermining Rex. We can say that he was a total disaster, but the man went .500 here and didn't even get 2 seasons. His hand picked QB Tyrod is seen around the league as a decent QB. There were tons of injuries. He was jerked around by the dysfunctional front office. There are plenty of things he can say in his defense. Could be part of why Whaley was eventually fired too. Same thing happened when St. Doug was here. Leaks have stopped now. Put all of those mitigating factors on top of the fact that Rex is a likeable guy in person and a smooth talker who tells you what you want to hear and talks big and some team is going to give him a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 TT had a groin injury, plus if he had been on the roster even with the injury in I think March the team would have been on the hook for his entire contract extension. It was an easy decision to sit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be pretty embarrassing for Rex to admit. I would have ignored the order. He was a lame duck by that stage anyway, why not stand up for yourself and make the owners fire you then. The writing was on the wall anyway for Rex yet he caves? Makes him seem even more of a loser than I thought! What in the world are you talking about? Rex WAS fired by the owners. He did stand his ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
