Panthers might not get Chip Kelly twice

I don't think Rivera gets fired even with a loss tomorrow. As ugly as this season has been being the first coach in the NFCS to repeat counts for something.

With that said I fully believe we will win tomorrow, it's when we play Seattle in Seattle that has me concerned

Ideal scenario:

 

Beat Cards, Lions get a huuge upset in Seattle...after they get it together, beating the Cowgirls.  

 

NFCC in Charlotte against Detroit.

Torn. Potentially playing Seattle means the Cowboys win. I can never bring myself to root for the Cowboys.

If the Lions win they play Seattle and we play Green Bay. Seattle gets the lowest seed left. Lions are a 6 seed, we are 4, Cowboys are 3.

I go back and forth with Rivera. There's a solid NFL coach in him, but sometimes his conservative, tight butthole, coaching not to lose bullshit gets the better of him. I think the Panthers could get beat 50-0 tomorrow and he'd still be safe. The repeat division championship and playoff appearances combined with Jerry's reluctance to pay coaches that no longer work for him more than likely bought him 2 more safe years here. Rivera squeaked by this year by about as close as you can get.

I think if we get beat down, Rivera is out. It's the only way.

I disagree. I just hope Ron has the team ready tomorrow because we know Arians will have the Cards ready. They could trot out Ryan Leaf tomorrow and I'd still be worried. This is a big opportunity for Rivera to fully slam his foot down and let the fan base know he is the coach and he ain't going anywhere.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
