Latest vid on Panthers.com: Not Sitting Back

Observations:

Shares Rivera's view that the defense should dictate to the offense, not just react.

Gets an evil little twinkle in his eye when he talks about attacking.

Video software they're using to review game footage has an XBox style controller.

T-Shirt and Jeans guy where Rivera looks to always be in a suit.

Most interesting part for me: Said he believes not just in putting pressure on opposing offenses, but in running the defense in such a way that it puts pressure on the offensive coordinators calling the plays on the other side. That's pure Jim Johnson philosophy there.

Makes me think back to the '09 home opener, Davidson was so outmatched it was pathetic

seems to me that McDermott won't be the only Carolina coach that will be a hot commodity in a few years. Rivera is hiring young, ambitious coaches that want to climb the ladder. and just maybe he is giving them the freedom and expecting the kind of success they need to do just that.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
