Why would you think that? The only way I see that happening is if Rattler gets injured.

.... or possibly, piss poor performance.... or a blowout by either team. :beatnik:

Re: Haener or Rattler
 

There is one thing that gives me hope about rattler. Dennis Allen's job is on the line. He's gonna start the guy who gives him the best chance to win. It looks like Rattler has passed Haener on depth chart. Maybe there's something they see that some of us don't yet.

I still think we get waxed but I've been wrong before and probably will be again.

Re: Haener or Rattler
 

So again… We fans are in the position of wanting to win, while knowing that we if we win just enough to keep Dennis Allen around, we will continue to win just enough to keep Dennis Allen around, without becoming a championship team.

Or perhaps we win, make the playoffs and go deep as we get healthier.

Sorry, I'm a recovering optimist.

Re: Haener or Rattler
 

Nothing wrong with that, Danno.

About to head down to Nola. Can't wait to see what Rattler can do. He's definitely better suited to handle the problems caused by the decimated offensive line.

Bad college O-Lines....NFL is next level

Re: Haener or Rattler
 

I agree....sorry we are to this point. I know the coaching staff knows they don't have a line. Which backup could we afford to lose through injury first?

That said, how many times in the NFL have we seen an injury elevate someone else for the future?

I would say Allen is giving Kubiak the nod to this decision. I don't think Allen would go this way.

We have an uncanny knack for putting good personnel in harms way and humiliation.
