A franchise record 7 sacks and 150 total yards allowed. I hope you guys can learn to like Chico. He is going to be in town a while.

I want a HC that can and will get his 53 to play every game with the intensity that the Panthers played with today and I don't think that RR is that HC. I recall wanting Fox gone because he played too conservative, completely changing the offensive and defensive strategy  after we gained a lead. Yeah, I know it sounds like I'm talking about Rivera but I wasn't, although I am when I say that Fox was better than Rivera but I don't want either one. I want a HC that can deliver what was delivered today, every game, not just when his job is on the line. I want a HC that can adapt during the game, to win the game, instead of having to wait to watch game film to see what we should have done. A plan, any plan is only successful as it's obstacles, you don't abandon the plan, you find another way to make it work...

Please return to the rock you crawled out from. No one likes you.

I like him but not as our HC

[TheRed]

The problem with Rivera is that he has done this all before. He redeems himself, and you think "gee, I guess he's finally turned the corner". Then, bam, he goes right back to being too conservative. I hope he gets it now.

14 weeks is a while

[Kuech the Sneak]

Only thing to justify keeping him is a playoff berth

[Montie_0123]

As long as they call a game plan like they did today I have no problem with him being here. Because more times the not we will win games with how the Defense plays. But if he starts choking up under pressure again then he needs to go.

2-14

That little stat needs A LOT of improvement.

That stat will stand for eternity as we will now win every game 38-0

[Guest Spider Monkey]

If he keeps the team this focused all year and we make the playoffs he better be the HC next season

[fjblair]

Can't believe we didn't break the record the way Eli was eating dirt in first half.

[Coug Girl]

I think Rivera's gonna have to be above .500 for him to stay - but lord knows with JR, he seems to always be easily swayed by Rivera's late in the season meaningless winning streaks.

I will admit he impressed me today in some areas and he seems open to make changes after games - only thing that sucks about that is that making adjustments after the game doesn't help to win the present game. So we drop some L's to finally get the right recipe - still hurts Rivera to be slow on that.

[top dawg]

The jury is still out, but don't bet your life on him being here just yet. One blowout win does not a coach make.

[TonyN]

Tom Landry.

Chuck Noll

Bill Belichick.

 

All three are defensive minded coaches considered to be idiots by their respective fan bases after their first 3 seasons.

 

I am not elevating Rivera into that level yet, but in the NFL there is a strong precedent for conservative, defensive minded coaches to succeed in a big way, even after early failures.

 

 

[Jackofalltrades]

Wins, not stats, will decide Rivera's fate.

Right now the numbers aren't on his side.
