Punch's Post-Game Thread

I should know better than to come in here with the knee-jerk reaction yet here I am.

Haskins is terrible, if it isn't obvious. All the progress he made at the end of last year has been wiped out. He just looks uncomfortable, like he's trying to learn how to play qb for the first time. Trying to do too much. The staring down guys thing - idk how it became an issue this week but if he keeps that up his leash will disappear.

At the same time we have to give him at least half the year if not the entire year to at least try and show some progress. If Allen was the answer, we wouldn't even have to ask this question. Rivera knows what he has in Allen.

Rivera - I just feel like he's treating these first 4 games like preseason since we didn't have one. It's why he keeps swapping out young guys and not calling timeouts at the end of the game. He already knows the weak spots on this team and I feel like he's just looking for progress. If he's still giving up when we're down by 11 in the second half of the season then I'll be seriously concerned. But for now I feel he's using these games to get a feel for the team. Or maybe the cancer treatments are affecting his judgement? Not sure but he absolutely has a long leash, certainly longer than Haskins. You guys giving up on him 3 games in are taking the easy route.
