Honestly....there were some VERY powerful families that kept that franchise alive in the 40's that wanted his head as well as some of the executive committee. I think Rodgers play kept Thompson safe for 1 more year. The pressure is there but I don't think Thompson will cave. If he doesn't get terminated this year he had better have a great draft, not trade down and sign some impact FA's or he's toast next year. The OL, DL, LB's are all his doing. Watch the Ravens play defense - that's what I want! They're brutal and intense. I want teams to fear playing against our D. That means drafting players that would be spending their lives in a Super Max if they didn't play in the NFL. Tame them just enough to not be a PR problem, feed them raw meet and don't allow them to have sex during the football season. Take 2 15 yard roughing penalties per game just to set the tone and MAKE THEM COUNT! Destroy a receiver over the middle and take that 1 extra step AND WAX the QB - both early in the game. ALWAYS get the last shove in after the whistle.
