WR coach I can see, but LB coach? I would have to assume that Rivera already has other specific people in mind.

Same here. I don't get why Belin got fired unless some bigger name with more experience would take over at that position

So in addition to questioning Rivera's coaching acumen, I suppose we might want to question how good a job he did selecting staff members.

What do we have so far? Let's see...special teams coordinator, original DB's coach, RB's coach, LB's coach, and WR's coach. That's a bunch of misses.

I bet you anything that Rivera's talk with Richardson went as follows:

JR: "So....I like you, Ron. The players love you and you have given us improvement since we brought you in, despite a terrible start this season."

RR: "Thank you, sir. I apologize for the slow start, but as I have said....it's a process."

JR: "So it is...." *grabs golf club and walks into open spot in office* "you know...I used to be able to drive a golf ball 280 yards with a 3 wood..."

RR: "That's impressive, sir..."

JR: "I haven't had a swing that good in a while. Always was more of a baseball man myself...now that...that is something I can do. The bigger the ball, the easier it is to hit.....so, this is what is going to happen, Ron."

RR: "Sir, with all du--"

JR: "You are going to go back to your office. You are going to sit down with your coordinators, who are not going to be fired, and you are going to fire at least 3 assistant coaches. I want some turn around around here and I want you to deliver the news, because I want you to look at your future. We will bring in new guys at those spots....and if next season you decide your...what did you say..."process"?

RR: "Yes, sir.."

JR: "If your process doesn't pan out...you'll be out the door as well. But not before I work on my swing....are we clear on that?"

RR: "...yes, sir. I will not fail you again."

JR: "I know you won't, Ron. I know you won't."

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      By aloysius snuffleupagus · Posted

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
