Why the Saints** game?

The Saints are a losing team, they lost some players earlier and don't have their head coach. Yet some are using it the sole factor is determining what they think will happen with Rivera and I ask why? Is it because they are able to get more wins with no coach vs. our two year coach? Is it because technically 7-9 is better than 6-10, forget the fact it took all the way to the last game to achieve a 7 game winning record, 5 being losing teams.

It still doesn't prove anything we don't know about Rivera and I still don't consider the Saints their former selves or a significant opponent. You don't got to the post season three years in a row then all of a sudden try and scrape by evening out the season with 8-8 and say you're the same team. They will probably be rebuilding a bit after this season. Not only that but we already beat the Saints, who were trying real hard to win. Why does beating a losing team keep a coach here, what does beating a team that doesn't matter in a game that doesn't matter prove about Rivera?

If you want him to stay fine, this question is more for the poeple who think this game means more than the first 10, just wondering why.

The saints are still a team to reckon with. It's all about winning. We haven't had a four game winning streak in years. I'm not saying if we win this game that Ron stays but this is a division rival that I would love to stomp at their home. They tried to embarrass us last year so now it's time for payback

The reason is because they are a talented team. One who just beat the bucs 41-0 and beat the cowboys who had everything to play for. A loss to them proves this is last season all over again. A win makes you think Rivera and co have actually turned a corner with this group. It isnt one game, its the culmination of the second half of, the season. Last year it resulted in an ass beating, if this year is the same RR is out the door. Ron and Cam have always folded under pressure. Well the PRESSURE is on, lets see how the respond. Hopefully Jerry lets RR know its, win, or GTFO!

I've said before I don't care if Rivera stays or goes but I also don't understand the if we win or lose against the Saints being a factor. We have 31 games to evaluate what Rivera has done. Do we really need 32?

Yes.

It's the last chance for the RR haters to say "I told you so" .

since we've been on this little roll they can't say much without looking stupid so.........

it's got to come down to the last game, we have to win this one or else.

PS, anyone that doesn't think this team is trending up.......... is an idiot.

I don't think this one game will determine whether he stays or goes. That being said, a win Sunday will mean that we bettered last years record. Fwiw, I think I predicted that we would be 7-9 or 8-8 this year, so a win would mean I got it right. :)

I am not sure if Rivera should stay or go, and I am glad I don't have to make the decision. But as far as trending up, we proved last year that we could beat struggling teams in games that didn't really matter. We are doing the same thing this year. I won't be convinced he is the right man for the job until he starts beating decent to good teams in games that actually matter. And we still haven't proven we can win close games.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
