Inexcusable Last Drives By Rivera & Shula


NJPanthers12

Recommended Posts

I avoid posting on here after game days, but it needs to be pointed out that Rivera and Shula cost us this game. Running the ball three times to play for overtime on our last offensive series is completely inexcusable. And then after playing for overtime on offense, Rivera decides to use his timeouts when the defense is generating no pass rush. This is not to mention that our running game was clicking the entire second half and the two wonder twins decide to throw the ball on first and goal from the 1 yard line.

This coach has been here for 6 years now and I am seeing the same dumb mistakes week in and week out. I do not want to hear anything about the refs costing us the game, this is on Rivera and Shula.

That was the worst coaching job by this staff since year 1.   Maybe ever.  

No excuses for a game so important only to exhibit absolutely no discipline and poor performance.  DA f*cked uip but this game without Cam showed the nation (who didn't turn the game off) how poorly coached we are.  

No matter how great lst season felt, this has never changed.  We can't capitalize and refuse to gain momentum after scores. We have to be one of the most pansies teams to play with leads in maybe forever.

I am not one to panic or overreact after losses either,  but there need to be answers after this game. I know the Charlotte media is notoriously soft, but it is time for them to question Rivera. Outside of the Hardy situation, Rivera could not have had it easier from the local media.

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
