Can't Believe I'm Posting This, But Ron Rivera...

He should win it because 95% of this board wanted him fired 10 weeks ago.

 

 

PS..........and punting it today w/ 2:00 remaining saved our season.

 

exactly, everyone wanted Rivera to go for it in the room I was watching. Not trying to sound like a know it all but I explained that if we didnt get the first down the game would be over and the way our D was playing you let them go out there and make a stop.

Rivera made the 100% right call to punt.

I was extremely upset that we did not go for it on fourth down. We were very lucky that the saints did not attempt a pass on their last third down

 

That was a classic if it works he is a genius, if it fails he is the most dumbass coach in the world. Pure Riverboat Rivera style.

I mean, it truly is amazing how we have arrived at this point. He was a week away from being fired. 99% of the time when a coach, franchise, and fan base reach that point, it doesn't get turned around... in most cases it gets worse.

Looking forward at the time of the Buffalo loss, there is no way anyone outside of that locker room foresaw us being here.

I am not going to lie, after Buffalo, I had seen enough of Ron and his terrible game time decisions. 

Ron hadn't changed, he was the same guy I had watched for two years, making bad decisions, being too conservative and not believing in his players.

As far as I was concerned, the end of the season couldn't get here fast enough so Ron could get the axe he so richly deserved. 
 
I am now happy to say; I couldn't have been more wrong about the guy.

Hope he gets coach of the year, he deserves it.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
