Who still wants Rivera fired...

Still don't know how to feel about rivera, the minute you've seen enough and proclaim he doesn't have it, the light bulb in his head goes on and he starts making the right decisions, and the team starts playing better.

In any case I think the continuous playoff experience is good for our players and coaches. If the Panthers win this next game, I'll consider this progress over last season.

2011: Started 2-8, finished 4-2 to make season 6-10

2012: Started 2-8, finished 5-1 to end season at 7-9

2013: Started 0-2 and rumors about him being fired if he lost to the Giants began, went 12-2 and won division.

2014: Started 3-8-1, including 6 blow-outs, finished 4-0 and won a terrible division.

 

I'm not advocating it, but this is Rivera's yearly sctick and I'm getting tired of it. Obviously, him being let go isn't going to happen, but another year and I hope that is it (if this happens again).

 

Shula needs to go, no matter what though.

Now isn't really the time for this discussion. I love Rivera as a defensive mind but he has not yet endeared himself to me with competent coaching. But looking around the league which coaches truly are safe?

 

Tomlin? Belichick? Carroll? I can't think of many. 

 

IF we can get a competent game manager and some solid offense I'm fine with Rivera.

    • Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?
    • Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess. 
    • Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
