Flashforward to next Sunday

[CRA]

Ron Rivera presser:

"Well we did some good things and had some opportunities. That is the positive you see when you go back and watch the film. We just need to execute"

"Well, I am not going to second guess why we punted on 3rd down. Hindsight is 20/20. What I didn't want to do is get in a 4th down where there was a chance some extra pressure could rattle our punter....so I have no regrets"

"What we are going to do is continue to evaluate".

"What? No, don't I think the prevent defense we were in on the goaline was wrong. What we would have liked to of seen was Charles Johnson could of gotten some better push in that scenario though"

Punt on 3rd down... lol, god this team kills me.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

is that seriously going to happen?

If Carolina plays with as much intensity as they did against the bears, I dont see them losing.

[Kramerica]

I call BS. Link?

"we thought that using the read option was a good fit for our offense because we were sure the other team wouldn't have expected it. i don't regret not adjusting because i'm still sure it's a way that we can win games."

You probably felt that way last year when we played the Bears.....or after we played Atl.

Poor coaching can make it all irrelevant.

We have some very good talent.....but they need help from the sidelines. At this point, I have no faith our players can overcome Rivera.....I expect we can best a team like KC that is bad from a talent standpoint. Not sure we can beat a team we don't dwarf in talent or has coaching issues.

Washington has talent.

[chknwing]

I'm expecting the offense to come alive and get on track, and the defense regress. High scoring game.

I expect the D to keep on keeping on with Luke. A few errors but overall a good game. Pretty sure our D can defend the read option....all comes down to if Rivera and company take take away the garage short pass game of Washington and those screens.

[rayzor]

i expect that we'll do what we're best at. get a lead in the game. look like we could actually pull it off...and then right at the end of the game find a way to blow it.

Yep. And it will be tied to coaching. Passing when we should run late or giving Washington stuff out of fear.

or a player doing something really dumb like fumbling on 3rd and 1.

i don't know....i just have no faith in this team to do anything but find a way to lose.

Yeah, it does feel like under the Rivera era there is almost an atmosphere of players feel they will lose the close games....and it comes true.

Rivera has too often spoken of the "here we go again mindset".....
