Um....... see Lewis, Marvin. The Titans put up with Fisher for YEARS and ruined VY and the Rams were smart enough to not let him ruin Goff too.
All I know is I'm as worried as you are that we will keep Harbaugh and keep the status quo with Marty. If I was Steve, I'd basically tell him he can stay but he's getting new Coordinators. If he wants to stay and keep Marty, then he and Marty can go elsewhere in 2019.

Everyone thought this was a tough schedule too. You never know until the season actually plays out

The sole reason I want us to make the playoffs is because I want lamar to feel that, and experience it, and if he can get a win, he puts the league on notice and everyone gets to see him rather than read his statline, and know that some of the shit they’ve been talking about him was off base.
If we don’t make it, ehh, not a huge deal, and probably for the best, Harbaugh will get fired, Marty too, better draft pick, likely easier schedule next year for 2 games.
We aren’t about to see a super bowl this year, or next. We got some building, and developing to do. Picking at 16 next year puts some really good players in our reach that could truly be the difference for us, or it gives us a better path to trade back to address the holes were gonna have when players inevitably retire.

I just want to make the playoffs just to experience what it's like to be in the playoffs again. Of course, your reasoning is another reason for it as well. I wouldn't even care if we lost a close or get blown out.

Friend heard that his job security was not in jeopardy anymore. I have him looking into the source. Think he may be incorrect

So I watched some highlights on YouTube, looks like Kenneth Dixon and Gus Edwards are a fierce heavy hitting combo. Would love to see them together next year with a rookie speedster. I think it's time to end the Collins and Allen experiment. Also it seems like Mark Andrews is our biggest passing threat. I think this team is trending up. With another good draft, free agency, and an off-season for Lamar, I would not be the slightest bit surprised to be some of the best in the AFC!
So I just want to say from observation that I’m pissed off with the support at m&t all year
It’s been not full, it’s been quiet and today was egregious... booing Lamar’s offence after 1 quarter of bad play in a 1 score game having not booed during any of our losses all year - even the steelers game becoming a 3 game losing streak

We're losing the home crowd advantage to some extent. However, I think the rain had to do something with it.

You're right. I am local so I can't point fingers but you're right. On Tv, it looked a little like a preseason crowd. I'd say the folks that do go are pretty loud but it is disheartening and I'm not sure how to explain it fully.
@Dom McRaven ’s point is probably a fair reflection for bucs and a couple of the early games in the schedule for smaller(ish) crowds but it’s been consistently poor
Like it makes me genuinely worried that if we win the north that we won’t actually represent our fan base well and actually create a home field advantage
This year any advantage we’ve had has come from conditions and weather and not crowd noise
Ironically our road support has been pretty great in a few places though

The more I think about it, the more I think the rain had to do with it. When I went to the Bengals game, I thought the home crowd was pretty good, but even louder on defense ESPECIALLY when they showed Ray on the jumbotron. The place went fucking crazy. Don't even get me started when we retook the lead 24-21.
Now @rossihunter2 is correct with our road support. It's larger in the southeast area compared to if we went up against either Ohio team or the Colts. I can hardly see any purple against these teams. We got Florida on lock and apparently Atlanta too. Even though it wasn't loud, there were a lot of purple against the Titans. I saw a good contingent of purple against the Chiefs. LA's home crowd is wack. Did you guys see how pathetic it looked against the Cardinals? We can possibly turn this upcoming game into another home game.
When they showed ray and played the music that was how loud it used to be so often on 3rd down or scoring plays etc...
That’s the only time it’s been like that all year from my memory and that’s disappointing
I’m glad we’re playing the chargers at the stubhub tbh - they are much worse at home because of the support in that stadium - they basically play 16 road games a year

I think we really need to get off to a fast start because it seems that the Bolts tend to start off slow (ex. 49ers,, both Chiefs games, Cardinals, etc.).

I agree, I just think we have to do what did against the Patriots in the Wild Card game where we got off to that fast start and never looked back.
