Rivera Monday presser

[Zaximus]

He's clueless and continuously gets out-coached.    The excuses and lack of ownership is out of control.    We're down.... so let's not play our fastest receiver that can get open..... brilliant.

I haven’t seen it mentioned since the gameday thread but what in the hell was that squib kick about to start the second half? That was just dumb.

 

I imagine the coaches must have seen something on tape, which it didn't exactly go as planned obviously. The best part is FOX showed a graphic how the Panthers were the best team in terms of limiting opponents field position on kickoffs. Whoops

What do you see on tape that makes you want to squib it? That’s a seriously question. Usually you’re just trying to catch the opponent off guard and maybe get a guy to mishandle and fumble. Rivera was just so weird that game. Don’t go for it on 4th and inches with a guy who has converted all but two 4th and 1s his entire career but then decide to squib kick to start the second half? Just really weird decisions from Rivera.

Andddd the Bucs just fired d coordinator so that's the good it does I think ours is next in line.

Firing your DC six weeks in isn't a sign of accountable leadership, it's a sign you're a shitty head coach and your team is a dumpster fire.

no explanation other than Ron is a pretty crappy head coach

I have been a big Rivera supporter, but I was pissed about not going for it on 4th and inches at midfield at the start of the game.  We have the best short yardage QB in history and you punt.

Set the tone for the whole game... and it was embarrassing.  It's certainly not why we lost, but it was gutless.

Anywhere beyond our own 20 and it is fourth and less than a yard, I support a decision to let cam sneak it.

I missed the context, but can somehow please explain to me what the hell "inclement weather" had to do with us losing yesterday?

I mean, jeez...

They had to practice in a ballroom because we have no indoor facility. Practicing installations in an event space rather than on a practice field could create some issues. He never said it was weather at the game.

The squib kick was not planned, it was shanked by the kicker.

LOL! You guys get so bent out of shape that an NFL coach doesn't apologize to you every week for not winning the game and making you sad about the Panthers. Plenty of coaches make mea culpas on the podium and continue to suck. Dirk Koetter can take the blame(and he should) all he wants, as vocally as he wants, they're still going to suck. 

Hilarious. 

Rivera doesn’t make excuses and continues to such, so there is that

Agreed. I like Rivera, I do, but he makes sooooo many questionable decisions. The best running qb in history and we punt...baffling.

don't forget the coordinator turnover. 

Damn  Ron.  Translation:  "I dont have a domed practice field, our coaches are more focused on schemes than putting the best players on the field, we got some boo boos and lady luck don't like us like she did last week. 

This was pathetic.  The players were confused and they did not seem focused.  You do not need a dome to keep them  from jumping offsides.
