Kenjon Barner with a 90+ Punt Runt Return TD. * Sigh

Cool story.  They beat the poo out of us last year, and I fully expect them to beat us this year too.  Rivera and McDermott get massively confused when they play that offense.  

Or it may have been because Charles Godfrey, Thomas DeCoud, Melvin White, Roman Harper and Antoine Cason were our starters in the secondary, our offensive line got Cam sacked 11 times, and Richard Rodgers was our ST coach... But no, let's just blame it all on Rivera without backing it up whatsoever.

isn't Rivera in charge of the team?  Didn't he put those players out there and hire that coach?  Boy oh boy, excuses.  Yayyyyyyyy

Name better players that should've been in there. On the o-line, Remmers wasn't signed yet, Turner was hurt and Norwell was playing his first game and was shaky. In the secondary, Norman and Bene were hurt, Tre was still recovering from injury and learning and not ready, Colin Jones is the only one that could've been in but he had no experience at buffalo nickel prior to that so he was a question mark that turned out to be effective when he finally played. As for Rodgers, yes Rivera hired him, but Rodgers was fairly successful in 2013 and then declined. Once the guy is hired it's not the head coach's job any more, it's that guy's responsibility. And Rodgers did a poor job, and was subsequently reassigned. And the players available on ST certainly didn't help. Try naming a better returner for us last season than Bersin...

Norman was in that Eagles game, check the stats.....and Corey Brown was better than Bersin.  Stop making excuses for Rivera.  In the end, he picked the personnel, and wanted them in that game.  Norwell wasn't hurt like the others, he could've played.

terrible fuging logic on display right here. even with 2 extra games the eagles still had more wins than the panthers.

The only thing that actually matters is winning the Super Bowl, so neither team has anything to be proud of. But both the past 2 years we have gotten to the Divisional round, further than the Eagles have gone either year. All that matters is winning it and we've gotten closer to winning it both years. That's all the fuging logic you need on display right here.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
