Nitpick - The defense isn't creating turnovers and Rivera is still playing not to win

Not worried about the lack of turnovers. Keep playing well on that side of the ball and they'll come. 

Rivera being conservative with a lead? Unfortunately, it's just who he is. It's not gonna change. More often than not we're going to take our foot off the gas and hope to hang on. It's a chicken poo way to play the game, but it's a typical defensive minded coach approach.

We are second to last in turnovers, that needs to improve 

 

And Rivera is lucky his stunt of playing for the FG worked out at the end. Let's not forget the end of the half FG or going soft zone after being up 14

The defense is trying man. It'll come. 

Nothing lucky about playing solid football.

Soft zone? As mad as I was when the opposing teams offense was moving the ball down the field eith ease.... I'm pretty sure that was Brady out there.

I was absolutely furious when we played for the FG instead of going for the TD. HOWEVER, after reviewing that last drive, Pats still had 3 timeouts. All it would have taken was a Cam spin around sack or a couple of incompletions and then Brady gets the ball back with plenty of time for either a FG or TD. Still hated the decision, but it made sense at the time. I guess Rivera was going to live with either Gano or overtime.

As for the soft zone defense when up by 2 scores or more, yeah that sh*t still pisses me off. Why abandon what is working ALL THE TIME? I can't recall how many times in 2015 we just let teams waltz back into the game after being up big because we went to prevent zone D. We would totally abandon our gameplan. Just makes no sense to me.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
