Riverboat Rivera on not going for it on 4th and a centimeter on the first drive.

Is that why the defense got carved up by the Washington practice squad?

[beastson]

I completely forgot about Anderson and Samuel. Not to mention CMC as another option. Now we got Greg back.  Its starting to feel like there's too many options for Norv to incorporate. 

Running 5 straight times to start the game got me looking at him crazy, not even Shula did not poo like that. Forcing the run to work so it can establish the pass, I mean this isn't 2003 anymore. This is 2018 going on 2019. I'm not ready to completely turn on Norv cause when we've been aggressive I've seen better results,  but unlike the defense I KNOW the offense is better than what's being shown the last 2 games

This thread is where Panther fans who think like me live. I was able to attend the game today. Section 122 row 1 and I gave Ron a mouth full. I yelled for him to stop coaching by the book and coach with his damn gut.

Every year the league makes it easier to pass and every year we obsessively try to run the ball into 9 man fronts who are daring us to throw it.  What's the definition of insanity again? 

[JARROD]

Ron is a clown,..

[Manther]

Tepper wants to place his stamp on this franchise.    If we miss the playoffs, Rivera will be gone.

[GoPanthers123]

If we miss the playoffs Ron is out that is a given. Tepper is here to win and he will bankroll all the FAs we can get our hands on.  The 1st qtr was a big hole and then the bleeding stopped but we couldn't put up enough points. 

 

That was the story of the game, horrible start that buried our chances.

[Castavar]

This Panther team with Ron is the equivalent of the Golden State Warriors with Mark Jackson. He will be able to get you to the playoffs, but will never be able to make this team reach its full potential and win a chip. Now, we can either go hire ourselves a Steve Kerr and make history with our future hall of famers on both sides of the ball, or we can remain with Mark Jackson.

[DeAngelo Beason]

He's used to having a defense that can keep the offense in the game.  He's forgetting that this defense is laughable now.  If we're go have any hope of getting the playoffs again, this offense needs to be thinking "touchdown" on every drive.  It's just a mindset that we lack and many other teams have.

tepper needs to go have a nice long talk with ron and tell him if keeps coaching like a pussy he will be fired.

Tepper needs to have an extremely short conversation with Ron and tell him that he coaches like a pussy and he’s fired.

[Panthera onca]

Ron either is ignorant of or doesn't like to use analytics. He is "coaching" himself out of a job.

[rhyslloyd]

Loving the collective fire in the bellies of the huddle.  fug Ron. I literally cannot wait until Tepper kicks him right in the ass out onto the street.  

[therealmjl]

We'll never win a Super Bowl with Ron in charge.

[Zaximus]

Even if we get enough wins to slide into the playoffs, Ron is NOT the coach to take you over the edge.    Maybe in 1986 but not in 2018.    It's time to move on.
