Is what it is. Hopefully one of them step up and take the job.

Exactly.....but he might be.
I keep reading how Rittich is undisputedly better and should be the guy going into the playoffs. That simply is not the case.
Unfortunately its a lot more to do with Rittich regressing than it is Smith finding his mojo again, but as you say, here we are.
They have about a month to figure it out right now and a whole whack of games in that time.
I dont care which guy it is, but certainly wish that one of them just figures it out and rolls into the post season with a swagger and confidence, something we are not seeing much of from either at this point.
As for the Wills/Pinder thing from yesterday...anyone want to point out anything Wills said that was incorrect? Pinder moved the goalposts when they were talking about save% as to who was better etc, and thats what he does. He doesnt care about accuracy or integrity towards the subject. He cares about being controversial and having a different take. Nothing wrong with that but the way he goes about it and his condescending/smarmy ways are what get to the guys he works to everyday. He comes across as "im smarter than you" and people really don't like it.
