At the end of the game, Hixon was sitting on the bench by himself, and I was looking for his presence on the field the whole game.  I wanted to see Hixon since he does have playoff and superbowl experience.  He would have been our secret weapon and Shula a la Ron dropped the ball again.  Plus McNutt would have been the secret sauce.  I was not a believer before this game in our weapons and the reason is because of Shula.  He came out in the first quarter blazing saddles then he cooled the spurs.

 

D.G. has his work cut out for him this offseason plus the decision to keep Riverboat.  Ron I like his gamble but everyone knew it was a qb sneak.  I wish Hixon would have been on the field more than Lafell.  Imo Smith, Hixon and Ginn would have been the difference in us winning the game and keeping the chains moving  to losing.  Did Hixon get any runs?

The decision to keep RIvera is going to be on Jerry Richardson  no matter what the hell DG has to say.

I still say if Rivera doesn't put in D.G.'s guy in a playoff game and the last minutes of the game you see Hixon sitting on the sidelines by himself looking like "aint this bout a bitch".  Then I am sure D.G. isn't going to be happy because Riverboat didn't use all of the tool that were forced in his toolbox.  I am pretty sure any other hc in the league would have used the one guy on offense that was brought in by a gm as a trusted piece, but not rr.  His ice up son was melted down son.

It's not a matter of Hixon having enough experience or not. The players on the field were those that Cam had the most chemistry with and reps with during the season. Everything needs to be fluid and timing has to be perfect. Perhaps in future season Hixon may work into the mix a bit more, but while

LaFell, Smitty, and Olsen are still here, Hixon will be a backup #2WR until he wins out the starting position in training camp.

Ok that's fair to say but he is the hc so that is his job.  We need someone else that can take the team to the next level by at least trying to use all of the pieces given to him.

Lmao... The guy has been here 3 years. The only thing Rivera is known for is pulling his head out of his ass and taking some risks here and there to give the team a chance to win some games.

      Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46

      As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
