Panthers Highlight Reel - moRon Rivera's Dumbest Decisions

Panthers played Oakland two years ago (the Game Cam Got Fined by the NFL for getting in Jerome Bogers face). Early in this game, the Panthers were rolling, and had a 14 pt lead in the second quarter. All of a sudden, Ron Ron thinks a 14 pt 2nd qtr lead is big enough, so decides to take the air out the ball and run it up the middle.

 

Now the Panthers actually won this one. However, they barely won, sweating it out in a ugly win that should have been a blow out. It was just indicative of Rivera's entire philosophy on why he loses close games, and/or barely wins them. He thinks a 14 pt lead, no matter how early is worth taking the air out the ball.

 

PS: The game where Josh Freeman (not sure if it were mentioned yet) of Tampa Bay, marched up the field with less than 1 min left and no time outs; tied, and eventually beat the Panthers. It was shocking. BTW: That QB's now out the league (or at least not starting). SMH

against the bears in 2012

-kicked a field goal to go up a point, celebrates like medlock just nailed the game winner in the super bowl

-slant, slant, slant, slant, slant, slant, field goal

game over, bears win

Yep. That one is tops for me. I am still mad.

Okay, the clear and obvious answer is in the original post. It can't get any worse than that, possibly the dumbest decision by any coach in Panthers history. Granted, it was less than halfway into his first ever season coaching anything so you have to cut him slack, but that was beyond the pale.

The only person I would cut slack for that is a child/ person brand new to football. Ron was a fuging player he should know when not to call a to

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
