Steve Smith has not had any problems calling Gettleman out. If Rivera had something to do with it, why hasn't Smith said anything?

 

I think it was a Gettleman decision, not a Rivera decision. Doesn't make any sense, Rivera making a decision like that but can't seem to make any other decisions.

 

 

Your post sounded like you were questioning Gettleman, not Rivera.

There is nothing to add. SMH! Speechless!

 

 

The thing is you can still do that and give yourself a chance for a first down.

 

You don't have to go tight and run it up the middle

This team is done with this staff. I was at the game and watched Olsen after the third run just start screaming at the panthers sideline.

Players were pissed.

 

If true, that was pent up frustration over FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD DOWN, because the coaches didn't even allow the offense to try to score a TD or take one shot at the endzone from inside the 40.

 

It's the coaching philosophy, not one 3rd down play.

Exactly. Even my six year old daughter knows that. Must be new to Ron and Shula though. They didn't even consider a serious try for a first down and are stupid enough to admit it in the presser. Unbelievable.

I'm not defending his words, but did you guys expect him to say anything different? 

Yes, I do.

 

I want to hear him say:   I fuged up.   I took energy away from my team and I called a 'play not lose' series of plays.

I cost my team and I'm sorry.  I"m sorry for them and I"m sorry for the fans and I will learn from it and do better.

 

You know the same poo they want Cam to say every week.  His QB who constantly takes the hits for his Shula's and Gettleman's common dumbness.

 

It might even earn him some respect in that locker room...this everybody but 'me' bullshit is getting very old.

 

Here's a note to Ron, think about what the Patriots coach or the Green Bay coach or the Indy coach or the Arizona coach would have done and try to emulate them.  Even if you are not great, pretend you are.    It's fairly clear you ware not a big thinker out there.  Let me be clear, you are a 3-6-1 coach, what exactly did you have to lose by going for it?  What happened to the 'agressive' coach you promised to be?

 

This is sad times Panthers' fans.  There is not enough talent on this team this year to save this coach from himself.

 

I'm getting to old for yet another lost season.

Because this has never burnt him before... Smh. Atlanta would've only needed a FG too, there's was roughly what 1:15 left? That's lot of time to get into FG range.

Please fire this moron.

And again, I don't think he's just saying this stuff. i think he genuinely believes it.

He does. Ron per his own words isn't Riverboat. Outside of his 4th down calls now....Ron is text book safe. Always has been. Textbook safe call was to run and try deep FG. Smart play was to use the 2 minutes and ask your FG to attempt a very high percentage kick and take all time off the clock

He's so nonchalant about trying to get the first down.

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
