Will Rivera break the "no back-to-back winning seasons" curse?

I love me some optimism....especially when it goes along with my pre-season prognostication of 9-7....I'm off by two so far, but I'd make some changes to the remaining games...

1 Sep 11 CAR @ ARI - W.....oops, I hate how this one played out...close/no cigar

2 Sep 18 GB @ CAR - L....closer than I thought

3 Sep 25 JAC @ CAR - W...right on

4 Oct 02 CAR @ CHI - W- Highly charged emotions for this one....and disappointing

5 Oct 09 NO @ CAR - L....again, closer than I thought

6 Oct 16 CAR @ ATL - L....dammit :mad:

7 Oct 23 WAS @ CAR - W....right on :)

8 Oct 30 MIN @ CAR - W

9 Bye

10 Nov 13 TEN @ CAR - W

11 Nov 20 CAR @ DET - L

12 Nov 27 CAR @ IND - L

13 Dec 04 CAR @ TB - L

14 Dec 11 ATL @ CAR - W

15 Dec 18 CAR @ HOU - W

16 Dec 24 TB @ CAR - W

17 Jan 01 CAR @ NO - L

9-7.....2-4 inside NFC South- No Playoffs- I probably have my Homervision glasses on....plus I picked 10-6 last year, I thought Matt Moore would pan out.

    • I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.
    • Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.
    • Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
