Extend Coach Rivera for 10 years!

As said on other threads: the team was prepared...they look like they actually practiced.

The defensive scheme was agressive and the offense had plays that took advantage of the players strengths. (this all seems so logical but we been held hostage to Fox ball so long!)

Also of note...last season: Goodson fumble-Fox clapping saying its okay chomping gum with fingers crossed for a win.

This season: Goodson fumbled and Rivera sits him down and has a personal one on one with him..COACHING!!

At the end of this game it felt like Andy Dufresne breaking out of Shawshank prison! Sweet freedom!!!!

Salvation lies within Rivera and staff.

I'm also on the Rivera bandwagon, loved the guys intensity, from his first interview after landing the job to how he absolutely tore Brown a new one in that one TC vid, to the Goodson shellacking tonight. Exactly what this team needs.

Exactly. Fox has always been too much of a brother/friend to the players. Rivera giving Goodie the business on the bench yesterday is a perfect demonstration on how you coach, and demand respect.

Gotta love that 85' Bears branch of coaches.

He did not say go get em next time...you were who you were..

My apologies: Foxisms are just stale and have lost all sense of funny...

Fox was a step up from Siefert and who we needed at the time..just as Rivera is what we need at this time.

Everyone will run their course..even Rivera, but I Love the guy and Chud, Micky D.

Rivera and gang equals: Legitimate team... Even if its a 5 win season...teams will come out of the games beat up...and sweating bullets.

There was much of the same sentiment after Fox turned the franchise around.

Let's not put the apples before the cart.

This.

Half of you clowns will be saying the same thing about Rivera that you said about Fox after a few years. People are fickle, simple minded creatures. Football fans are even more so.

I love what i see from Rivera, but im not ready to call the guy Lombardi yet. Stoked for what this season holds though.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
