meh...

 

Who knows for sure. But I think he would have been fired today. With one of the best wins in Panther history, how can you fire him? But now he needs to turn the rest of the season into the best Panther season ever. 14- 2 is a damn fine record. Can the team do it??

Rivera def deserves his props, whole coaching staff really...the D is amazing and to put the best players he had available in the secondary, he started...don't mention his decision making with beason...it worked and to use Chase more to the teams advantage is even more convincing that this man deserves this win.  Nevertheless he should have used Chase more in the reg season beside ST, overall great game im still amazed by the team performance, needed this as a fan. GO PANTHERS!!!!

I like Rivera as a guy. I think he's personable, and the kind of person you'd love to have working your grill at a backyard get together, or drink a few beers with on a weekend. I also think he's a very knowledgeable defensive coach, who knows how to make a D perform to high expectations. I want him to succeed - I really do - not just because I like him as a person, but because if he does, then my team does too. But the NFL is the ultimate performance driven profession. He needs to keep that in mind for the thirteen games remaining this season, and not retreat into the conservative shell that has been nothing but poison for this team since even before he got here, dating back to the Fox days. If there's time on the clock, there's time to score. I hope he takes that to heart.

I'm intrigued.

 

This was not a Rivera type game that we have seen before.

 

-We didn't build up a lead in the first half and then play "not to lose" in the second.

-We didn't do the typical run every play so we burn time off the clock after sustaining a decent lead.

-I still saw deep throws down the field even after we were up by 21 or 28 in the third.

 

Did something finally click for Ron??

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
