Official Panthers - Packers Gameday Thread

[Sam Mills Fan]

Our goal for the season should be trying to scrape together an 8-7-1 or better season. Even if we make the playoffs, we aren't doing jackshit and I would rather not go out in a humiliating way like we did last season. Just get the back-to-back winning seasons thing off our chests and go from there.

Yeah the Stewart run killed any chance we had to score on that drive. Shula is never gonna get it as long as he is the OC of this team.

 

And to be clear: I was yelling at my TV set, the moment Cam handed it off to him.

 

And of course, those precious seconds, cost the Panthers any chance of scoring (along with Rivera's Dum Dum decision to kick a FG, just to get some points on the board).

So why exactly did they hand the ball off to Stewart then, burning off about 30 precious secs?

 

 

Looked to me like, again, Rivera was PLAYING FOR THE FIELD GOAL.

 

He has no aggressiveness in him.  He's Coach Milquetoast.

I like how you think he will sign here just because we offer him the money. Ever stop to think he might want to go elsewhere, you know, someplace with a legitimate coaching staff and OL?

You'll feel better about it after the game. He's not going anywhere.

People though everyone wanting Rivera fired last week was a immediate reaction to the tie. For me it was the final straw. Time and time again Rivera makes poor decisions in the clutch. Mix that with poor clock management and being soft overall. Refusing to make adjustments and personnel changes

Just spoke to Shula and he explained his draw call to me personally .... he said he meant to take a knee, but we still had timeouts lol

[WolfpackPantherMan]

Understand the sentiment but they had to there considering how badly the clock was managed.

Worst half of Panthers football since 2010... maybe ever... That was a joke

 

So they had to go for a FG because the clock was mismanaged.

 

Either way, its on Ronnie boy.

Well, if that was the case, it was sad. Because the Panthers ended up inside the 20 yard line anyway. They could have really used those precious 30 secs or so.

Football is so mental. The panthers are just broken. No heart this year

Half a game would HAVE be how the panthers get their first consecutive winning seasons, though. It's the bare minimum way to make it happen. It just fits how they are.

[Byrdman4real]

I can't believe Rivera kicked a FG.

Maybe, if they didn't run the ball earlier with Stewart, they could have used those precious 30 secs to score??

Stewart shouldn't even be playing. Hell the other RB's been running harder anyway. They deserved to play more.

This is where Rivera made a poor decision

 

Keeping Shula as OC

 

[carolinarolls]

There is only one positive thing to say.

It's half over now.

Rivera is softer than a goddam marshmallow.

 

Odd as hell considering he was hard as nails on the field.
