As he should...the series before is what Chud and Rivera should apologize for.

WHY IS DEANGELO IN A WILDCAT?!? On an important drive in the game? Opps 3 n out..it was cute.

Exactly. As I said last year and still say, Chud is bad in crucial moments of the game. He was still getting cute at the end of the game. That stuff costs you games. He has regressed in his playcalling tremendously this season also. I don't trust either of our coordinators. I would be happy letting McDermott go and Rivera become the DC/HC. He's too wildly inconsistent.

Rivera made the right call to punt the ball. The falcons would've tee'd off on our interior line had we tried to go for it or even worse Chud would've tried another cute 4th and 1 play and we'd all REALLY be calling for Rivera's head to be placed on a platter. I do believe Sherrod Martin needs to get his job back. I knew Naka was our weakest link but Martin was never this bad during his tenure. I like Naka's heart but he just looks way too overmatched for the nfl.

#1 rule of coaching, know your teams strengths and weaknesses. Yes he made the right call....that is if we have a normal NFL avg secondary, but we are the panthers. And the coach should know the secondary is atrocious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why risk the D blowing the game when they gave up big pass plays the whole game. Use our giant QB have some balls and get one yard! Even if we failed we would be pissed and the D would still
would have
lost the game anyway.

You play to win the game and we played to lose.

It was the correct call. In order for the Falcons to win after a punt they must:

1. Successfully throw one very deep ball.

2. Manage two short throws and get to the side line.

3. Hit the field goal (the 2nd quarter kick only like a foot inside the post).

If we go for it:

1. Stop one 1 yards run.

2. Make competions against a prevent defense on which they do not have to reach the sideline as there is time to be tackled in bounds.

3. Hit the field goal (most likely shorter than above and possibly also on the choosen hashmark).

I take the punt any day. Especially had it not worked the media had talked about nothing the "the most stupid call of the week" with all the goat awards to boot all week.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.

      Might not have been in this specific thread... As far as the other, I'm not necessarily reading every post that isn't responding to me so I don't think I saw that. Mind you, we've certainly seen the "not a real fan" stuff on here before.
