Kuechly yelling on the sideline

I'd agree with whats been said so far that when it first happened, it certainly seemed as if Luke Kuechly was going off on Ron Rivera.

After watching further into the game though, I'm not dead certain that what we saw was actually Luke taking Ron to task.

NBC showed a clip of Luke talking to a ref about something that happened on that long TD on the prior play.  Didn't appear he was satisfied with the answer they gave him.

It's possible, then, that he was just heatedly relating what happened in that conversation to Rivera rather than talking at him.

Plus, to be honest with you, yelling at a coach - especially the head coach - on the sideline just doesn't seem to fit in Luke's character.  Teammate?  Sure.  Coach?  Eeeehhh...

Now, is it also possible that Luke was indeed pissed at Rivera?  Yeah it is, but I'd really need to see more of the actual footage of that (couldn't find video online anywhere) hear some further info from the parties involved or at least talk to someone who's a better lip reader than I am to say with more certainty.

Regardless of the true character of the discussion, I'd have to agree with one thing others have said.  Specifically, that Rivera's stoic reaction was kind of annoying and did a lot to summarize how the whole game played out on our part.

So on this topic, info, video, or speculation...Fire away.

Rivera doesn't call defensive plays so there is really no way Luke was yelling at him for something he did. More likely an defensive alignment issue or something the refs missed. 

Btw, he clearly was pointing to the other side of the field saying "that was f****** BS."

Totally taking a stab in the dark here, but remember when Ron made Shula stop yelling at the refs awhile back about not throwing flags on Cam taking repeated illegal hits? Maybe that's what this is about. Luke was clearly pissed at the refs about something. Maybe Ron refused to take up the cause and Luke was sick of the poo. He may have gone off on Ron about not speaking up for the team when calls weren't going our way - calls he saw as obvious. That would seem to fit with the situation.

Again, 100% speculation there which is all any of us have right now.

Ron knows he's lost the team.. I hate I because Ron is a really good guy and has been through a lot the past few years. He's really put his time in a bad situation this year. Ill never dislike Ron but we may have to look for a fresh start while we still have all the talent on the roster that we have

Like the fact that Seattle's OL could basically tackle our guys and still not get a holding call tonight?

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
