I prefer Rivera by a lot.  

Which is more of an indictment of Fox. 

 

These other guys could have been our coach too. Woof.

Rivera was one of four defensive coordinators to be interviewed by general manager Marty Hurney and team president Danny Morrison last week. The others -- Perry Fewell of the New York Giants, San Francisco's Greg Manusky and Rob Ryan of Cleveland -- were not asked in for second interviews.

Fox 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown by botched kickoff,... no back to back playoffs, last playoff blowout blamed on quarterback but Arizona spoke of failures for us to adjust on offense and defense. Kept it vanilla.

Ron 3 playoff appearances, Super Bowl appearance. Super Bowl blown because of failure to adjust to opposing teams defense. 

That's tough,... good enough to motivate team to playoffs occasionally,... but screws the pooch and goes Marty Ball when it matters?

Elway hit the button because Fox couldn't get there with a top 5 HoF quarterback on his last season or 2 and star defense,..

Rivera,.... hummm we have no Elway at the helm,... what if Elway was here, would Rivera be?

Right now I've got no love for either.

Fox was stale. Rivera scared. Both results in lack of success.

I think to a large degree they are indentical. 

Rivera just has a Riverboat switch which takes a painful amount of time to hit.  Ron also is willing to embrace things Fox wouldn’t IMO.  

But their game management is nearly indentical until Riverboat is forced to come out

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
