Rivera on blowing leads

“Probably the biggest thing was guys trying to do more than they needed to,” Rivera said. “We tried a little too much to keep it in front of us instead of being aggressive like we had been for three quarters.

“I thought we were just trying to keep it in front of us at that point, and it cost us.”

 

Is he serious?  You're the head coach.  I doubt the players would decide to play soft if someone isn't instructing them to.   Be accountable Ron!

He said "we" several times and said "guys".  He did not say the "players."  I am pretty sure he meant the coaching staff.

at least he realizes it's an issue

Sad thing is its been the big issue with him since back when he was on the brink of being fired and Jerry stood in the endzone before a game to watch him and let him know.how hot his seat was.

Even in our best season in 2015 we blew leads.

31 point lead to seattle

30+ to the giants

20+ in the 4th to indy having to pull the win off in OT

20+ to Greenbay for TD to pick the ball off down at about the 5 to escape.

 

Its just typical for a Rivera team

I’d say it’s also the offensive philosophy at the end of the 3rd and entire 4th quarter that aids in the opponents coming back. Shula/Ron loves to go run heavy when we have any kind of a lead, even when the opponent knows what the panthers are trying to do. Doesn’t matter about execution if the opponent knows what you’re going to do. More 3 and outs = our defense goes out there again with minimal rest.

@KB_fan

any chance you'd be interested in seeing how RR blown leads stack up against the league average for blown leads?

From whose perspective...certainly not his which is problematic because that's where the issue lies IMO.  If he continually thinks it's the secondary "missing opportunities" by "by trying to keep things in front of them" then correction will never happen. 

It baffles me that this is RR's mentality even after all these years.  He came from and played with arguably the most aggressive defensive unit in the history of the National Football League.

After the choke job to Buffalo in 2013, where Buffalo drove 80 yards in 1:30.

Rivera had the worst record in the league (in his first 2+ years) when leading the 4th quarter and 2nd half.

Next game everyone assumed he was going to get canned. Richardson stood on the field and watched Ron pregame.  Panthers went onto drub the giants then had a heckuva rest of the season

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
