I was wrong about Ron Rivera

[PanthersClinic]

The Panthers have demolished a lot of bad teams. They do that every year. There is no reason to get excited until this team plays consistent, beats an upper echelon team, and wins a close game.

 

Patriots, Saints, Saints, 49ers

 

The reality is we likely have to win one or two of those games to make the playoffs. Let Ron deliver on that and then we can start talking about an extension.

Im sorry but i need to see more, i need to see us win a close game, win a game where we have to come back. I need to see us beat the 49ers and Pats....well at least make it a game.

Really? Do they do that every year? Because I thought the narrative was how we always played down to the competition and lost games we shouldn't.

I like Riverboat Ron. But I'm still not ready to put trust in him again yet. Hopefully he proves me wrong. He's definitely lit a fire under the players' collective asses and has them playing to their talent.

If he has the balls to teabag all three of our next opponents, consider me 100% sold.

I've always thought he's done a great job at prepping the team through the week. (minus our annual post-bye week letdown) It's the gameday decisions that have left me scratching my head.

And I'll admit Shula has proved me wrong. Our offense has been tailored to each of our opponents this season. The way our receivers attack zones and our O line run blocks have been different in every game.

WE are not in the playoffs yet.The trick for Ron is not laying an egg in these remaining games the way we did in Arizona
