I think the fact he has been there and done it.....means a lot.

 

plus, Rivera IMO is smart as poo.  Always said from an X and O standpoint he was great.  It is why we have been in most games since he arrived depsite huge holes some years

 

i agree. but i guess i expected a more tony dungyesque persona. I was kind of taken aback.

 

i think everyone was aware of his x's and o's genius. he made that san diego D #1 with some marginal players.

 

he is really good at masking deficiencies on defense through his schemes. I dont think anybody has doubted that Rivera is really smart. A lot of it was just pressure from in-game play calling and adjustments.

 

he has definitely turned the corner. everyone says "riverboat ron" but he's not out there going for it on 4th and 1 every time and gambling blindly. like he said he really is analytical ron.

Do you even understand the rule or do you just say poo in hope that you sound smart? Clear visual proof is coming up with the ball. Thats why the judge is laughing because he knows the Ref sucks and was not going to change the call, no matter what. Its like knowing your boss is a jackass but still having to work for him.

I'm pretty sure coming up out of the pile with it isn't proof of possession when going to video review. You need to have it in your possession CLEARLY under the pile, which we didn't.

I think the ref was laughing because he knew we had it, but by rule they couldn't overturn it with what was seen on the video and he knows that sucks, not that the head ref sucks.

Man it really is incredible how much more confident and active Ron is on the sideline compared to last season. He really has learned how to be a great head coach, and I did not think that was possible in October.

On another note, taking a closer look at Cam's run...wow. When he gets to top speed he is gaining more than 2 yards per step. Incredible.

He's having fun, and you can tell that it's not just a job for him, he loves being out there.  Players respect him because he respects them.   I've met a few people in my life like this, and they have the power to make you truly want to make them happy and succeed for them.  Motivation from fear of disappointment will get more results than a "my way is the highway" type coach imo.  

 

I wasn't sold on Rivera early on either, but perhaps IF he wasn't on the hotseat we would have never known his potential.

What more fact than coming out with the ball. While he may not have been laughing at the Ref there was enough proof there to over turn the call. The question is whats enough visual proof. That changes from Ref to Ref. Its like saying a WR/TE is defensiveness. What constitute being defensiveness. Or the even more controversial hitting the QB call.

klein seemed intimidated by ron.

 

one thing i noticed. for ron to be such a players coach, he demands respect. all of them "yes sir, no sir"

 

Riverboat gives respect too.  Did you notice him calling the refs "sir" ?  His tone was always respectful.

 

 

Thanks for that video, it was awesome.  RR has turned in to one hell of a coach.  He instills confidence in his players and corrects them without demeaning them.  Love his style.  I am glad "it" finally clicked for him.

Their attitude was more of that's the rule(even though we know who came up with the ball). There was no fug up on the refs part.

Still not buying it, the ref couldn't even give him a straight answer. I took it as more or less the refs not being able to be decisive and/or admit they fugged. Not making a big deal of it though, it was a blow out by that point anyway.

stoic Ron was always a myth. he's learned as a head coach but emotionally he hasnt changed much if at all.

making assumptions about a coach from the 3 second shots you get of him prior to the start of every 11th play doesnt give you any indication of his demeanor whatsoever.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
