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.

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
