So he, as a supposed defensive guru has noticed a REALLY big problem that's been going on for several weeks and doesn't know how to fix it. Awesome.

I know how to fix it. 

Fire him and bring in coaches that know the hell what they're doing. Throw as much money as you can to bring in the best and accept no excuses or dur moments.

I mean how inept do you have to be to get fired. If a coach does anything he brings consistency and identity. This team has neither.

Anyone else notice that this season, Rivera has become more willing to accept that the coaches are making mistakes rather than just putting it all on the players?

I don’t think so, I think he’s genuinely nervous about his job security though

I think the issue is ok, go with the analytics, but also the analytics don’t always work out (I.e the 2pt failed). So, when that happens where does that leave you? I think when you’re dealing with a 2 score deficit like that the rule is a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, meaning you get the 7 there and live to play another series with either a 1 or 2pt to win. Doing it in scoring drive one has a much bigger chance of deciding the game at that point instead of later. In a tight situation you always want to delay the decision because it gives more time for your opponent to screw up.

We don’t have the guys we need for run defense. It’s that simple. Someone said earlier this year that we sold out to rush the passer in a pass happy league and it was paying off. Except lately we’ve played 3 teams with good running games and in two of those games our pass rush has not worked. We need to find more from our pass rush consistently. Brian Burns really screwed up punching the ground after that tip instead of blocked punt. Him being out is screwing up our pass rush power and it’s hurting what was a great season for him. I’m sure he wishes he had that moment back but also it was fuging stupid.

That'd be....unfortunate....missed opportunity for Rivera to shore up his specialty before he got canned.

No "magic fix" says the ten year head coach who still hasn't brought this franchise back to back winning seasons despite having extremely talented players on both sides of the ball for the majority of his time here.

The longer this drags out the more similarities I see with John Fox and his last couple of seasons with the Panthers.

I don't think Ron is an awful coach, but it should be clear now we have seen the ceiling of this franchise with him at the helm and that ceiling doesn't involve winning a championship.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
