Given what was reported about Tepper's reaction to the San Francisco game, he might have reason to be.

Missed that.

It was originally recorded by Joe Person in The Athletic. Other sources have also confirmed it.

Tepper was reported to be livid after the 49ers game and apparently ripped into Rivera pretty good.

A week later, Rivera went back to being "Riverboat".

Oh wow, didn't hear about this. 

[Mr. Scot]

Link to the thread where Tepper's tantrum was discussed.

Rivera may have had a reason for going Riverboat

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.

Three weeks is about 1/5 of a season.

So missed opportunities followed by it is what it is,...

The analytics quote seems passive aggressive.  He's going out of his way to let you know it wasn't his decision with the language he used.  Must bother Ron to be be lectured on math by a guy who made 12 billion dollars.

Interesting observation there.  It is odd that Ol' Rowboat is citing "analytics" like that....  I think it as a sh*tty call to go for 2 at that point.

Joe Person originally reported in The Athletic. Both Jourdan Rodrigue and Jason La Canfora have confirmed it.

Okay, so just one reliable source has confirmed it?

Sounded a little salty with that analytics answer. It’s disturbing he’s a defensive guru and he can’t solve the run defense problems 

Yeah, he didn't own that one little bit and if you are one of 32 leaders at the top of a highly-paid profession, that is not a good look.

Valid, but to be fair La Canfora was the first one to say that Newton was going to be out longer than anybody expected.

I just like to throw barbs at sports journalists who aren't the best at their jobs.

La Canfora has always been hit or miss. He's better than Mike Lombardi, at least.

I've mentioned I tend to prefer the local guys because they're only focused on one team, but that doesn't mean the national guys are useless (especially Rapoport).

Aaron Wilson used to be a go to guy for all things NFL when he covered the Ravens, but since switching to the Texans he seems to concentrate primarily on team news instead.

Best thing I could tell you these days? Subscribe to The Athletic. It's worth it.
