An indicator that Rivera might be safe

Players help Rivera state his case

It's been noted before that what goes out on Panthers.com is fairly controlled (think Pravda). As an example, when the writing was on the wall for Jake Delhomme, you started seeing articles questioning Delhomme and praising Matt Moore. Prior to that, it was rare to see the team site acknowledge much negative about Delhomme's performances. Once they started actually talking about it, the signs were there.

Mind you, "safe" might only mean that he's not fired this week. I still believe the ultimate decision will be left in the hands of the new General Manager once he's hired. Although I'd expect that to be reasonably soon, no one knows exactly how long that will take.

But seeing an article like this, one highlighting how much the players love Rivera and have been willing to play hard for him, on the official team page makes me think they might be at least leaning toward the positive.

Read it for yourself and see what you think.

Forever the Huddle will hold an IQ lower than Cowboys fans.

If true, this is a good choice.

The coaches, the players, the owner (if he hires Ross or Gamble) looks to have finally got it. No need to make a stupid decision you will regret.

These past four weeks Rivera has earned his job.

Don't give that bull that it's the same stuff that happened last year, because it's not. This year we were in all but two games, the difference is that these past four weeks; we found a way to win.

How have they finally got it? Did they get it at the end of last year as well?

Ofcourse he is safe. The real question is who the GM is. I think any GM prospect wouldnt mind keeping Rivera for another year. He wont have the pressure of having to find a coaching staff right off the bat. Especially a HC coming off four consecutive wins and a 7-9 record.If Rivera has a winning record next season, thats one less problem the new GM has to worry about and can focusing on building the team

Someone has been spoiled by John Fox. This wasn't going to fixed in two years, only an idiot would think so. With all the injuries the Panthers have suffered this year, it's a wonder that they even won 7 games.

Also last year the Panthers weren't even in a lot of games, this year at least the Panthers were in all but two of their games. They finally learned how to win those close games at the end of the season.

Take lines like this, for example...

The Panthers ran the table outside of a loss to an emotionally inspired Kansas City Chiefs team, beating a pair of NFC South foes along the way to finish second in the division.

The way that's written, it minimizes the loss to the Chiefs.

Follow that with this...

The four-game winning streak to cap the season started with a victory over an Atlanta Falcons team that had lost just one game. It ended Sunday with a road victory over a New Orleans Saints squad that had won seven of its last 11 games/

...highlighting the good teams that they beat.

I put that under the "things that make you go 'hmmmm'" category.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
