You guys are idiots. Team goes 12-4 last year. String of injuries and...

-QB needs to be benched for a guy that has as many career interceptions as touchdowns

-All coaches need to be fired. "Ditka could take the practice squad we're fielding to the super bowl. Why can't Ron?"

Sorry to be harsh, but the overreaction party is getting a little loud. Settle the hell down. Injuries happen. And sometimes, they all happen at once.

But what do I know. Let's fire Ron. Grass is always greener on Greg Schiano's lawn, who is available, by the way.

He can say it was communication problems all he wants but it's the fact that he doesn't turn around and look for the ball that got him benched. He's been messing up the last couple of games so I was not mad when he had to stay on the side after getting beat again.

 

This was the same reason RR benched White after the Baltimore game. He said he wanted him to turn around and play the ball instead of trying to hump Steve Smith from the back. 

 

I doubt the team is imploding anyways.

After the way the defense has played the last few weeks, I am off the fire Ron ship. They have cleaned up considerably. If only our offense could pick it up. There's still time and we are still in the division race.

Benching the players the Panthers chose to sign and/or draft is laughable because the depth is worse than the people on the field.

 

Cason sucked last night...I wonder, did i not occur to some coach, somehwere to say 'you are playing 10 yards off the receiver, odds are they are going to throw in front of you as you lack closing speed....you need to be closer.'

There is more to being a head coach than just cleaning up your defense.

 

Rivera still shows the same problems as he did his first year here.  Time management, halftime adjustments, gameplanning, etc.  All remain poor.  The team isn't even competitive anymore.  We are -59 points in point differential and have lost by double digits in 44% of our games.  In 2011 and 2012, I never felt like this team was completely hopeless even when we were 2-8.  Nowadays I don't expect to win a game.

Time management is not a reason to fire a coach. Most coaches suffer from that. I'm not saying he has done a substantial job this season but some of the problems this team has faced could not have been predicted. I mean we have rookies and UDFA starting at important positions all over the team who have done ok but the veterans are now crapping the bed.

We literally have the worst OL in NFL history and an OC who hasn't the slightest clue how to attempt to compensate.

 

Rivera's specialty is D and to their credit, the D has played much better the last two weeks.  A big part of the Saints' 28 points was our offense's inability to do anything.  Handing them a turnover inside their own 5 yard line didn't hurt either.

 

The biggest mistakes Rivera has made are promoting Shula and retaining Shula.  The man needs to go.  He's not the root of all problems, but it's not a coincidence that the offense has gotten steadily worse ever since he took the helm.

Yes, if that was his only flaw then you are right.  It isn't a reason to fire a coach.

 

Unfortunately for Rivera, it isn't his only fault as a head coach as I stated in the post you quoted.  Poor gameplanner, poor adjuster, our team has been below average to flat out bad in 3 of the 4 years he has been here.  12-4 was an anomaly and anyone who is attempting to absolve Rivera from a big chunk of the blame is simply content with, at best, mediocrity.  I am in no way trying to argue Rivera is at fault for everything (he absolutely isn't; this team, at the end of the day, just isn't very talented) but that doesn't excuse him from his poor coaching either.

I'm not advocating firing him at this very instant entering Week 10 next week.  That would be illogical and benefit us in no way.  But Rivera should not be coaching this team in 2015 unless there is a major turnaround in the final 7 games, a major turnaround that I believe is unlikely to happen.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
