Are They Really Losing Faith?

Watching GB/MIN game

We was close with GB and was cheated out of a couple of TD's. We didn't play good against Min and got embarrassed by Ten. GB making Min look like amateurs

But I look back and this team doesn't look the same like in week 2. I know we're injury riddled but like Cam said you gotta play with some type of pride. Seeing how the D gave us chances to get back in it, if I was Chud I would have hopped my ass out of the box and went right to the sidelines to try to get some things going, some motivating

This team is just waiting for failure. When adversity happens we are seeing this team come apart at the seams because its just happened so much and we have been on the losing end. I am also starting to wonder about Rivera's leadership.

Yea about 3 weeks ago ppl started to mention Rivera and I downplayed it

But I am too. I hope didn't quit on him. I know, I know... losing makes things worse

It may be unfair, and it could be selective memory, but I can't remember seeing Rivera doing anything to try to raise spirits when things have gone badly.

Every team hits rough spots. It is incumbent on the leaders to pick the team back up. When things have gone badly for us, I see Rivera with his stoic look on the sideline, Cam pissed at himself on the bench, Smitty ready to put a beating on someone, etc. What I don't see is anyone giving encouragement and pointing out that they can turn it around with a positive attitude.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the same thing?

The truth is Rivera never expected Cam to play this well this fast, so he was already prepared to use this as a trash year. It explains the play calling in the first 4 games.

I think you are right. JR, Hurney and RR had as a primary objective Cam's development, not winning games specifically. RR has stated this on more than one occasion.

Then Cam comes out and starts to light it up. Players want to win and could care less about long-term development. So there is a disconnect between the FO plan and the players objectives. Rivera is trying to walk a fine line now, keeping the players fully engaged while not losing sight of the original objective. That is why he is always talking about managing expectations. If your only expectation is to win each and every Sunday, there is no reason to worry about managing perceptions.

All of this makes it very tough for everyone to keep it together. It seems like a minefield to me, but it's JR/Hurney/Rivera's team and they have to do what they think is best for the franchise.

I hope they can negotiate this without major problems because they do run the risk of it blowing up in their faces.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      I think they took him for that.  He projected to fit the role we saw in Tampa and Seattle.  But Bryce doesn’t throw those balls.   Bryce basically throws to the sideline or endzone…..not really ever putting them up and in play between the 20s.

      By TimeTravelerTep · Posted

      Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.

      Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.
