So, the problem is on offense?  I guess that's new and refreshing!  Marshawn Lynch is a big difference maker between the teams - or simply put, clock management and ball control.

 

Very aggravating considering what little has been done to improve the offense.

Even more frustrating is that the defense lost a few players that provided quality depth.

From the article:

"If you ignore the Z-score and look at just the PPG above or below average, the top defenses since 1978 are Tampa Bay 2002 (+9.8), Chicago 1985 (+9.4), Seattle 2013 (+8.9), Carolina 2013 (+8.6), Pittsburgh 2008 (+8.2), and Baltimore 2000 (+8.0). That’s five Super Bowl winners out of six teams, the maximum possible given this combination."

Cool stat.  And for the most part, Carolina's defense is still intact.  The front 7 will be exactly the same save for some new additions.  Secondary remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for Cason since he played his best seasons under Rivera.

I think everything fell into place with the d because Ron and co were coaching for their lives.

Now the heat is just simmering and everyone is thinking rebuilding so no pressure.

I don't think RR ever coached "for his job."

I think I know what you mean. But...don't all coaches coach "for their job" every game?

Rivera is Rivera. You know what you are going to get from him. He is willing to listen and grow, but basically he is going to be/coach the only way he knows. Give it your best, and let the chips fall where they may.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      you could even divide it up by division and conference with a similar seeding to the actual playoffs, culminating in it’s own Super Bowl.

      Regression to the mean causes Tepper to give up on Bryce.  Six wins and we get the number seven draft pick and take Brendan Sorsby Texas Tech QB.

      The Pro Bowl is Unwatchable

      By Growl · Posted

      The pro bowl should be brought back, it should be in Honolulu with proper marketing and eyes on it, it should be the nfl subsidizing a week long vacation for guys with their families-with that the one big change to make is to get rid of the fan voting. Have each send a collection of five or six guys they deemed their best and if the rosters get a little wonky personnel-wise, that’s okay. That’s part of the fun. short of that, the only other thing I could recommend is having a similar set-up-no fan voting, teams selecting their best players, and sending them to compete against the chosen players from 31 other teams in real Olympic level sporting completions to see who comes out on top.   seeing the panthers delegates beat the disgusting saints delegates up for the Gold in the rowing competition or the 4x100 relay would actually feed into the competitive nature of fans and give them something to root for. you could even have under armour sell the logo cladded up team gear that the pros wear in these games for money, this stuff basically writes itself if the nfl wasn’t trying to use this event help sell the idea that no defense and lots of passing is a GOOD THING and you LOVE THIS and THE GAMES SHOULD BE MORE LIKE THIS.
