In ron's defense, that was the first time he's played against kyle shanahan's offense

[electro's horse]

actually no wait that was the fuging fifth

jesus tap dancing christ that was the exact same thing the falcons did in half of 2015 and all of 2016.

did ron lose the tape?

[mcsmoak]

Not to mention he had 2 weeks to prepare for it, but who am I kidding, he probably took all of last week off

[stankowalski]

Shanahan has actually gotten better since then...but I get your point.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea it was pretty much the same plan he ran with the Falcons.  Saw a few plays that made me think “yep I remember that working when he was the Falcons OC too...”

As soon as that little inside shuttle pass got them down to the 2 i knew it was over.

If there's anything I've learned from Ron's tenure here, it's that he doesn't gameplan for teams. He runs his defense regardless of opponent and dares teams to beat them. It's why we are able to look elite against average/bad teams and get exposed against good coaches.

[BIGH2001]

He was just as successful today as he was before

He lost it on his fishing trip

Sadly, it's a pretty valid point.

Said it elsewhere. Rivera can be good, but not great. At this point, he's kind of like that comfortable outfit you refuse to throw out despite the fact it's got a dozen holes in it.

I know we're going to get the standard "we could do much worse" response from some, but that's just not a good enough reason to keep a coach that's clearly hit his ceiling.

And the reality is that we could also do a lot better.

[Chief Keek]

Asking Ron to learn from the past uses too much processing power for his brain.

Bye week ron

wtf do they even do

Rivera’s defense is built to beat someone playing “straight up” football. He plays old school hard nosed 80s style football. That doesn’t work for most teams with new age offenses, the longer he’s our coach the less likely we are to see an analytic adaptable football team. I for one am tired of Stone Age football. I want to win.

It not comfortable tho.  Its tight in the shoulders, threadbare in the middle and faded.  It should be burned.
