I hate Ron Rivera

I knew he wasnt the guy in the late hours of February 7th, 2016. His status quo approach to everything is infuriating. His stoic demeanor on the sideline is frustrating. His hatred of playing talented young players over washed up vets is unforgivable. His conservative approach to games, especially with a lead is outdated.

all that being said, I’m not sure how he is being blamed for losing today. We tried to make a statement on the first drive when we moved all the way down the field and Cam got stopped on a play he gets 9/10 times. The next redzone possession Norv gets obsessed with running McCaffrey up the middle. Getting 3 points total on your first 2 red zone possessions is a great way to keep an inferior team in the game. 

In the second half we move down the field and Cam (who i think played a fantastic game today) threw a terrible pass in the endzone to a guy with about 3 career catches in double coverage. Why he is even getting a look with all the other weapons on the field is another question. 

That’s 3 out of 21 possible points we got in those 3 red zone showings in a game where we missed a potential game winning field goal. 

As much as I think the Rivera era has run its course, this isnt the game to blame him. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. 3 of our 5 losses have come directly from what I would consider unforced mistakes

It was an asinine decision by Ron to go for it on 4 and 3 on that first drive, he should have taken the three points.  I would have been fine with it if its 4 and 1 but 4 and 3, no.  Same can be said about the decision at the end of the game last week.  He seems like he is coaching while also looking over his shoulder.  I think he knows his time has come.  

At this point I seriously doubt we get to 9 wins.  Just a terribly frustrating year.  We have lost three games this year due to poor coaching game management.

Yes those mistakes were made, but at the end of the day we had a chance to put the game away with our offense. Ron and Norv decided otherwise and played right into Seahawks hands. As many times Russell Wilson has beat us with his escapalability, and that' even when had a good defense. You decide to leave time on the clock and trust your defense that had 2 key starters out in the secondary. Yes indeed my friend this loss is on coaching staff period.

No need to hate him as a man but he is a mediocre head coach on a cursed franchise that will NEVER EVER IN OUR LIFETIMES WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP.

never. It’s the sad sad truth. We can start a club with the lions, bengals, jags, cardinals, browns, and all the other teams that will probably never win a Superbowl either

      i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"

      Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health.

      Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
