Rivera on the punt call: "Didn't want to give Saints momentum"

[catnip]

We could replace Paddleboat Ron with a statue on the sideline and no one would know the difference.   We need a coach with some fire in his belly and lead this team to victory.  At least show some emotion . This is a reflection on the team .

If I was in charge, he would've been fired today for that decision alone. Such an awful, spineless call.

Lol ok Ron

Even in 2015, I distinctly remember the players saving the coaches arses against the Colts, Packers, and Giants.  That 15-1 was magical because the players refused to lose.  

This staff should have been gone in 2014 at 3-8.  It is now 2017...smdh

please stop lying this game was on Cam & defense .

The whole defense let explosive plays happen on a consistent basis with poor tackling and failed assignments

2015 was good coaching just poor talent on OL & skill players thanks to bum ass Dave Gettleman.

If DG didn't ignore the OT position and got some competent talent Panthers would have won the SB.

Agree to disagree but I will admit that I was not a fan of a lot of DG's moves.  

Also--I'm usually not salty about missed draft picks because you can make thousands of examples, but Kugzilla over Bakhtiari is probably the biggest missed opportunity we had right there for the taking.  There's our LT for Cam's entire career.  We got Edmund at 108 then the Packers got arguably the best LT in the league at 109.

His "Riverboat Ron" card needs to be handed in...   He hasnt gambled on anything since he was about to lose his job 3 or 4 years ago..

Usually, I can shrug off coach speech but seriously, Ron? You can't give the Saints something you don't have.

Lil Dinghy Ron.

The fact that RR would say something as moronic as this, even after having had time to reflect on his senseless choice just goes to show how out of touch he is. It makes me feel that he is being complacent about his job security-he feels like he can do or say whatever he wants knowing that there won't be repercussions. 

A net gain of 15 yards field position or the chance to pull yourself within a score? How can a professional coach make such a poor decision and pass it off with such a feeble excuse.
