 It also set up Slye for failure on the pressure kicks. We were successful on gambles today but if we failed on anyone of those then this game could have gotten ugly.

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa.  I was with you up to here.

First, with Slye, the bottom line is the guy left 5 points on the field yesterday with missed kicks of 33, 33 and 28 yards.  Seriously, it doesn't get any easier than that.  If your kicker can't make those kicks, he has no business in the league.  It's one thing if he's missing 50+ yard kicks, that's expected.  But when your kicker can't make them under 35 yards it's not your team that's the problem.

Second, it's not fair to criticize Ron one week for not taking chances and the next because he gambled too much - not saying that "you" are, but it's definitely a theme across the Panthers fan base.  Ron's a good coach.  It's very possible that he's simply reached the end of his effectiveness here, but I fully expect if/when we fire him, he'll get another chance elsewhere and do well.  Sometimes the combination of organization and coach just plays itself out, and a change is needed to move forward for both.  I suspect this is where we are with RR.

5 games left, 3 against teams I hate the most...atlanta, seattle, and the saints

its a damn shame these games dont mean squat

what a disappointing season

tbh, wouldn't bother me if Rivera is let go at the end of the season. Aan after 2 weeks of bad coaching decisions, then a bad kicker game? everybody's sphincter was tight...butt that is no excuse. 

then the bigger question, who do you get for HC?

only reason to do it is if there's a candidate for his replacement on staff already and i can't think of anyone remotely qualified besides norv, who i hope isn't being considered. 

Perry Fewell has experience as interim HC for Buffalo for about the same amount of time as we'd use him.

You could promote him to DC and let Nov coach too. But that's not going to happen. Tepper doesn't have the balls. We will be stuck with dumb and dumber till Riveras contract expires.
