A Trip Down Memory Lane: Circa 2007

Recommended Posts

Did a little digging this morning. It's fun how the internet seems to be eternal these days. Let's take a look back at some forums from the off-season after 2006.

"Marty fired...Ron Rivera isn't out of the woods, yet. Reply: Who cares? I hope he leaves."

 

http://www.hbcusports.com/forums/showthread.php?56435-Ron-Rivera-won-t-be-back-with-Chicago-as-DC

"I'm fine with it. I think it was time for him to go anyway."

 

http://forum.go-bengals.com/index.php?/topic/28409-ron-rivera/ 

"Rivera is not worth it. He can't scheme and relies on good ballplayers to look good. Chicago has better players on D than we do--I think the D would actually take a step backwards with Rivera. "

 

"Agreed, though I don't think Rivera was so much the beneficiary of great talent so much as he was a shadow of Lovie Smith."

"It's Lovie's defense anyway. He's the one who brought in the scheme. i have no worries about Chicago's defense, barring injuries again, going into next year."

"People are crying for Ron Rivera to become the DC. Go ask a bears fan and they'll tell you that he rarely ever blitzed, even less than Contrell. The reason he did so well on defense was that big middle linebacker some of you may know as Urlacher. Bears fans would get pissed off at how passive he was. But yet they still had a great defense when it came to players so it worked. So Rivera isn't the answer if you're looking for all out blitzes. "

 

Fun Facts:

This is the word of Ron for the people of Ron. Thanks be to Ron.

    • Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season 
    • I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win. 
    • I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
