Rivera Press Conference 9/8

[Ruff]

Rivera said he "hasn't seen the video" of Ray Rice.

[SgtJoo]

Rivera on what Cam learned watching on sidelines: how much he hates watching from sidelines

[SgtJoo]

Kelvin Benjamin got a game ball.

 

Rivera on Benjamin: "He did a lot of good things but it doesn't speak to his whole body of work. He has to understand how to finish plays."

 

Rivera says team gave rookie WR Kelvin Benjamin a game ball for his production but he needs to be better with the nuances.

[CarolinaSamurai]

He needs to talk to the league about the lack of holding calls against our pass rusher.

Bad calls/no calls all game

Thomas Decoud???

[Ruff]

Offensively "we want to continue to run the football and on defense figure out how to try and attack Calvin" versus Detroit. 

 

DeAngelo "ran very hard".

 

"One victory does not mask the problems we have got to get corrected".

Doctors were adamant that this one week would make a huge difference in Cam's longterm health

That can't be right! All of the PHd Huddlers were adamant that Cam's health would not improve any in one week.

Doctors??? Pffft who needs those guys when you have the wealth of knowledge the huddles posters provide.

[Razeyfingers]

Anyone else hear the small shot he took at the D play calling in the 4th qtr.

Was this the same few telling us we were crazy for suggesting cam would not play because David Newton and ESPN said he would?

[stirs]

I hate that the league seems hell bent on getting the scores of each team above 30.  With the ticky tack calls on DB's, who knows that they would not turn a blind eye to a little DE holding.

 

I know, I am just ranting

I would have to lose 40 IQ points to take anything related to ESPN seriously, therefore I cannot comment on that question.

Rant on brother! That bull crap roughing the passer call gave them a little hope and a TD for their "comeback" soon after that DA was high lowed and driven into the ground well after the ball was out and there was no call.

These refs need to stop worrying about the score and do their jobs unless that is their job. I don't trust NFL refs after the 49ers coronation we were invited to last year. Rivera said he should have kept his cool but when you realize that your not just playing another NFL team but the refs and Vegas too it can seem daunting.

I hope coach continues to call them out on their BS calls. Keep Pounding

Hmmm...

 

You spend your whole high school career waiting for the moment that you can get out from under the thumb of your local principal. You escape and get yourself a great job, only to find you're still answering to your principal!

That was the situation of Tampa Bay's Doug Martin on Sunday. Well, sort of. Peter Morelli, who refereed Martin's game against the Carolina Panthers, also happens to be the principal of St. Mary's High School in Stockton, Calif. And that's the high school Martin attended. Martin embraced Morelli during the game, which surely raised a few eyebrows among fans not sure of their connection.

No word on whether Morelli slapped Martin with extra detention. But if Morelli throws flags on his misbehaving students, he's officially the best high school principal in the country. (We assume his students don't ask for booth reviews of his decisions.)
