Ron was right. This is what you cried for.

After watching the Carolina and Detroit game end like it did. I was in awe how we over came Devin Funches off day by dropping a TD, and 3 other catches that would have been first downs. Detroit player stepped out of bounds on a play that should of killed the drive. Cam Newton had 357 Passing yards and 3 TDs.  The defense missed 9 tackles Sunday. Gram Gano was also drinking the same kool-aid as Devin Funches for he cost the team 4 total points. With that being said Ron knew all of this and he decided to no longer be a "coward" and play for overtime. Many of you guys here complain about Ron after every loss and even most wins and you wanted him to have more "balls" as you call it. Well here he is! He wanted to win the game by any means. A Bill B type call. Maybe you rather play for overtime and hope Detroit makes a mistake against your struggling defense.  Overall I like the call I believe we will take care of the Seashawks this Sunday.  The team knows Ron means business. Also Cam I can not blame you for you balled out and misfires happen. However this is what you been screaming for. Live with it and get behind your team. Stop acting like spoiled brats after EVERY single game. RIOT  MF RIOT

This is peak Ron Rivera.

Of course going for it wasn't the right call. Either way Detroit gets the ball back with plenty of time to get in field goal range. If time was about to expire, sure you can make an argument to go for two.

But Rivera is not too smart. Going for two in this situation was strictly a "I don't trust Gano to make an extra point" play. Of course Ron probably didn't see it that way, but that's what it was.

So many things can go wrong in one play with the game on the line. Why risk it? A tipped pass, one missed block, dropped pass, over throw....

The correct decision there is to kick the extra freaking point and play for overtime.

I liked the call. No qualms about it.

I just hate the fact he refuses to give Curtis Samuel significant snaps and chooses to throw players under the bus instead of evaluating himself.

As a coach you hold players accountable. Ron has faced pressure since day one in Carolina. The winning-est coach in franchise history. He finally has the offensive coordinator he wanted. He will get the defensive coordinator he wants next season. I believe his hands were tied on personal decisions and coaches under JR. We will be ok.

The point is ya'll would still cry if he played for overtime and we lost. The only thing going Carolinas way yesterday was the play of Cam Newton and DJ Moore.... Thats about it. It was the right call. Cam just missed the throw.

I don't know what the point of this is because I don't see many people complaining about going for two. People are rightfully pissed at Ron for once again throwing his players and team under the bus and having zero accountability for his own coaching decisions that hold this team back.

He hasn't changed. At least not intentionally. Ron Rivera displayed himself to be the same scared coach he always has been by deciding to punt on the previous offensive drive late in the 4th quarter on 4th and a few yards. Wasted opportunities were self inflicted from the staff as well as some players. That much is certain. What is also certain is that Rivera still can't resist but to stick to his ultra conservative approach to game management until it's too late. The 2 point conversion call was just Ron panicking after his usual play it safe antics backfired yet again.

    • You are right--it was DC.  I remember talking to him at Belk in Albemarle one day--the Panthers were on a bye and they were (at the time) a disapointing 4-4.  I mentioned that the record was disappointing and he seemed to get a bit annoyed.  He dId not say anything.  I trying to suggest that we will get better, but I think he was pretty upset about it.  No hard feelings, but the man was simply trying to shop with his wife and this annoying jerk starts making comments about his job---I get it.  I apologized, telling him that I was trying to be supportive and not critical--he did not think it was a big deal.  I'd see him at events from time to time-he'd wave or say hi, but it was awkward for me.  Figured I would say something stupid.  Jordan was pretty popular--nothing like she seems to be now--she is holding her own in a man's world...proud of her.
    • Like we have had the last 3 years.
    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.
