Why Rivera was the right hire?

Don't be too certain about that

Exactly...all we have is the system, the foundation, not sure we have all the peices here (i.e. players) to make it work just yet. That will come in time but don't expect a #1 defense next season.

Offence will take a lot long I suspect with no decent available QB's out there.

But but, Sean McDermont took over for Jimmy Johnson.

Well D was good last year for the defense we were running and how the offense was. Im not sure how good our personnel really is with the Jim Johnson 4-3 scheme.

That's my point. Different system all together. Most of our players may do well but it's not certain that they all will thrive in this syatem.

If you read the Chargers boards you read about how Rivera took average talent and made them into the #1 D in the NFL. I am hoping he can do that here. I think we have good talent at LB (w/ TD healthy). Everywhere else we are average or worse. Of course drafting a solid DT or two could give us a respectable DL in a hurry. DBs would probably be OK if we were getting more pressure up front.

Correct and it will just have to play out. Rivera will get the most out of these guys I have no doubt but will it be good enough for him. We will see with the draft and FA what he thinks of the players he has on the team. That should give us a clue as to what may be ecpected with the D.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
