Here we are beating the crap out of Atlanta.  An unsportsmanlike penalty against Benwikere (I think) is called.

Rivera has the defense on the sideline chewing their asses.  Discipline.  You see it when he walked away.  TD and Luke both stepped in.

This team is a mirror image of Rivera.  Tough, smart and HIGHLY Disciplined.

It is why our defense works.  It is why everyone knows where they are supposed to be.

Many of us including myself questioned Rivera in his first 2 yrs.  He was maturing into a Head Coach.  Now in his 5th season.  He is the master. 

I love him as our head coach and the way he has this team mirrored in his toughness.

Just the fact that he was part of the 85' bears gives him huge amounts of cred. You can see when he fumes after dumb ass penalties, that he is about to explode on the team. When he gets that 'I will kick your ass'  look on the sidelines...time to take cover.

Stupid poo like that can cost you a game.  He holds a tight reign on these guys.  Hard to do when most are millionaires.

I hated the Bears because they were so dominating.  I am happy he brought that with him.

I feel bad that early on I wasn't willing to be patient enough to let Rivera mature into the head coach position and learn all the nuances of being the overall leader of a team.

He needed time to develop the sideline game-management skills, but also time to get the right guys in place, guys who would follow his lead and continue to lead by example.

I apologize, Ron

Many of us were like this. 

IMO he truly has turned into one of the best coaches in the league.  We are lucky to have him.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
