Rivera on blowing leads

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

 

Hell we almost did it with Buffalo again this year.

And another thread bashing the coaches despite another phenomenonal start to the season. 

 

What would it take for some of you people to just accept what he is saying at face value, and stop trying to outcoach him from your single wides? 

 

He said "we were just trying to keep it in front of us instead of playing aggressive." He recognized the problem. "If cost us." He recognized the outcome of the problem. He's taking responsibility and letting everyone know that the reality check was effective.

 

Even still, somehow some people are bashing him for it.

 

we could be 0-5. We could be the saints. We could be the giants. we have good coaches. Good team.  Good start to the season.

If it hasn’t changed by now (which it hasn’t) it’s never going to change.

Rivera is VERY lucky he has the talented roster that he does. It’s the only reason he is still employed.

The simple fact that he doesn’t even mention the offense when talking about blowing leads tells me all I need to know.

Hilarious how Ron (and that idiot David Newton on ESPN) seem to just want to lay the problem on the defense and totally ignore the run-up-the-middle-run-up-the-middle-SAVE-ME-CAM! Shula time-of-possession offense.

Groundhog day plays and prevent mindset is going to bite us at some point.

Shame he won't take responsibility for it... it's all, ALL, on the coaches and mainly him and his culture.

The players run the plays schemes that the COACHES tell them... for him to insinuate this tendency is on the players is insulting and MORE shitty coaching.

The 2015 colts game breakdown is an example of the Rivera book that we see o-so-often.

Up 17 with 10 min left in the game.  Defense goes to soft afraid of a big play, and Luck drives down in 3 min for the TD.

We get the ball to go

1st Stew run, 2nd Stew run, 3rd Stew run, PUNT

gives ball back to Luck who procedes to drive down and scores a TD in 2 min

Panthers ball.  1st down Stewart up the middle, 2nd down Stewart up the middle, 3rd down inxomplete pass

Colts get it back drive down kick the FG to sebd it to OT

It's a relatively safe way to kill time while leading. Imagine cam throwing an interception instead of a run up the gut for -1 yard. Much worse indeed. You don't need homeruns when leading by 3 scores going into the 4th quarter. You need to protect the ball and run the clock off.

Ron coaches like a god damn coward with the lead. It's like clockwork, and it's not on anyone else except Ron.

The Panthers were DOMINATING the Lions entering the 4th quarter. There is no excuse for that game being close at all, and if we don't complete that 3rd and 8 Stafford probably at least sends it to overtime.

[countryboi]

this stuff is a balancing act between wanting to stay aggressive and continuing to pass the ball and running the ball more and sitting on the clock. either way  if it doesnt work Ron is going to get blamed. the bigger issue here is the lack of a running game hat will allow us to run the ball even when teams know we are running the ball.

we could be 0-5. We could be the saints. We could be the giants. we have good coaches. Good team.  Good start to the season. 

We could be and a wins a win.

 

However we are tiptoeing a fine line.  Where it could be avoided all together.

Yes we've escaped for the W in these such as vs the Lions.  But very easily can it sway the other way and lose the game

*cough* *cough* KC blown 14 point lead in the 4th for the L.  And every L in 2012 to beginning 2013 to where everyone out there was convinced Ron was being fired for this very reason
