This Is A Big Year For Rivera (Playoffs Or Bust)

Of the 3 coaches prior to Rivera, the 2 successful coaches (Capers and Fox) both made the playoffs in their 2nd years.

I am very happy with Rivera thus far, but I expect the playoffs this year. Smitty has guaranteed it...

And as a die-hard fan and PSL owner, it has been long enough. 3 long years w/o the playoffs...

I was so pumped in 2008- only to be subjected to one of the most humiliating playoff losses of all time.

I took it in stride due to the great success of 2003 and 2005, but the time has come to start reclimbing the mountain.

We have the OROY in Newton and a lot of offensive playmakers. Rivera's calling card has been defense.

He has a full draft and off-season to put his stamp on the defense. No more excuses- the playoffs are expected!!

I mean.... I disagree. If we don't make the playoffs, I wouldn't say bust. I sure hope that we do, and believe that we have a chance. But if Rivera doesn't make the playoffs a year after possessing the worst team in the league, and then a year after having the #9 in a tough division, I wouldn't say it was a bust or failure of a season.

I would be happy with a winning season. If that is god enough for a playoff spot, then great. If we go 10-6 like Tampa did 2 years ago and still not make the playoffs, I can't say we will be a bust. I would just hope that we are still in the race the last game of the season instead of out of it by the bye week,

Any improvement, even a 7-9 season, and RR won't be a bust. Given, I think we'll do a lot better than that, hopefully double digit wins and playoffs, but I think as long as we're heading in the right direction Rivera will be our coach for a long while.

      NextGen Passing Chart - Week 3

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I was here the past two weeks while you dominated every thread with constant complaining. I decided I wasn't going to try even posting with all that negative crap. All of you would  have found great amusement in trying to attack anyone with a more reasoned  positive approach. So I waited until now to come here to celebrate a win. Not to champion Bryce. It was only after you and others make negative comments despite the huge win that I commented. I am a Panther fan not a Bryce fan or Bruce hater. I will support him as long as he is a Panther. After that he is largely dead to me. But again won't go back and forth. I have nothing to defend and just going to enjoy the win.

      Bar is on the floor boss.  And he remains way too inaccurate even in the most conservative asks of a gameplan.

      Josh Allen is a playmaker and the closet thing to Cam Newton the league has seen.  So yeah, Bryce isn’t…..just like Josh Allen  Buffalo does not have better personnel than us across the board on offense.  Their leading WR last year was freaking Shakir followed by a disappointing rookie season by rookie WR.  We had the most expensive OL in the NFL last year.  A rock solid backfield.  With comparable WR talent.  If give them a clear TE edge but it’s a wash given out OL investment.  what they do have is a QB that makes everyone human in the field around him better.
