Rivera: "Learned from first Atlanta game to stay aggressive"

 "Cannot expect to win this football game by kicking field goals" Quotes provided per S.Reed  and J.Person.  So Rivera is saying all the right things today at the podium today. He really should have come to this conclusion after previous Atlanta games  (actually we have heard this song before), but better late then never. Here's hoping that he doesn't get sphincter freeze when it comes down to the aggressive attitude.  Hopefully he takes Shula aside and relates to him that the red zone play calling needs to produce. They can beat this team if they stick to their guns and do what they say. Pound the piss out of them with Stewart then slice them up with K.B, Cotch, and Olsen.  Have faith in the offense to get a yard or two when needed and go for it. If your going to talk the talk , you better walk the walk.

Really Ron ... how insightful.  Seems like we heard that before. 

 

Should have said, 'It was asinine to put on the brakes and leave our kicker with a 46 yd field goal attempt.  Especially considering how well we were moving the ball and the time left on the clock.  But hey, I am still learning.  Next time I won't bring a skirt and will let my players finish the game ... without handcuffs and poor game management'

I was doing family Xmas stuff and didn't get to see the game, but I saw that we started kneeling to run the clock down with like 2 minutes left on the 2 yard line instead of scoring. How does this fit in with the 'stay aggressive' philosophy?

Well, you see, it's a process.

at the end of the game??? No point in trying to score when you can go into victory formation.

Got no beef with that. Browns couldn't stop clock and it ended game.

Techically, if you score a quick TD you then give the Browns a chance to still win

Seriously? That's your example of them not staying aggressive? That's just fuging dumb. The Browns were out of time outs. The game was over. Kneel down is the only play in that situation. Why risk a turnover when all you have to do is kneel on the ball and win the game. Goddamn...

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
