Ron Rivera, like you, fell asleep during Rams-49ers

NFL coaches, they're just like us.

 

Panthers coach Ron Rivera acknowledged he was unable to stay awake for the duration of the Rams-49ers snoozer on Monday night, this despite the Niners being the next team up on Carolina's schedule.

"Unfortunately, I stayed up and watched. And the reason why I say unfortunately is I fell asleep somewhere in the beginning of the fourth quarter," Rivera said during Wednesday's press conference. "But I got to see three quarters of it."

Can you blame the guy? It was around 1 a.m. in Charlotte by the time the fourth quarter started. Compounding matters, the Rams and 49ers had played a third quarter that will go down as one of the least inspiring periods of football in recent memory. The two teams combined for seven punts, two first downs, one interception and zero points in the 15 minutes of game time.

Rivera is also 54 years old. Any dad over the age of 40 who's sitting in front of a TV past midnight is asleep. That's just science.

The Rams fielded the most offensive offense I've ever seen. 

It was (at least what I saw because like Ron I fell asleep sometime after halftime) worse than our 2010 offense. 

The only time I've ever watched a game with offense that putrid is a high school game.

It is an indictment on the whole organization that they traded up to get Goff at #1 and then didn't have him ready to play. Anyone, including Pickles from day 1, would have looked better than Case Keenum.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
