Did Rivera ever say why they didn’t go for points before halftime?

This is precisely why I went after Person on twitter a couple weeks ago.

Two things going on there.

Ron is too comfortable with his job, and the fact that 8-4 is great as far as he's concerned.

The journalists are too scared to ask him the in depth, really tough questions.

 

In reality, it should be the other way around.  The writers should have nothing to fear, and Ron should be shaking in his boots....but we are the Panthers, and you know what that means.

Exactly. That's why nothing will change. All the Panthers beat writers want to do is ask about Cam's fashion.

One thing is certain, don’t do anything and here we are 

send the fastest receiver on a go route to the sidelines and maybe, just maybe,  it might be intercepted but also might be caught or pass interference

two time outs and 46 seconds, take the shot, that’s what winning teams do, that’s the urgency  to make use of every single, offensive possession against a high scoring offense particularly when the defense is struggling 

what did Rivera  / Shula do, find that hole and crawl in it  gutless 

Conversely it didn’t bother dipshit Shula in NY with a qb with a right thumb contusion to not throw the ball 28 times   Nonsensical 

Too, the Panthers have failed to get any free agent WRs and there were several to be had that would have not broken the bank.  They best fix that in FA this year. Worked for the Rams and Eagles. Could have any of the three. Woods. Watkins. Jeffrey. Instead they have scruffs. Well done

This is just Monday morning quarterbacking.  If we come out in the second half, march down the field to tie it up, and go on to win, none of this angst matters. 

What a tired cliché - 'playing not to lose'.  Everyone plays not to lose.  Find me someone that plays to lose.  If you play not to lose and you are successful, you win.  Its just semantics.  Rivera believed our best chance to win (hence not to lose) was to play it cautious at the end of the half so as not to dig a deeper hole.

well...sometimes i cant blame him...cam throws a pic six or RB fumbles for a TD return...then you go into the half time with a stick up ur azz....it can happen in a flash.

When has Ron ever given Cam and this offense that he says he believes in a chance to take the game by the horns to an opponent once when Cam showed him up...Cam was fired up and ready to do it...Too bad nobody else on offense was.

...well...its definitely time to start taking aggressive chances or we gonna be home for new years...NE does it right...they always score before the end of the half and then score on the opening drive to start the 2nd half... thing is we shouldnt be in these positions...whos fault is that...

You remember last year when we lost to the saints? Ron called a dumb ass timeout and gave the saints the ball back with a minute left before the half. Brees drove right down the field and they got a FG. 

Sean Peyton has balls. Ron Rivera has a slit between his legs.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
