Rivera: "Learned from first Atlanta game to stay aggressive"

[Jmac]

 "Cannot expect to win this football game by kicking field goals" Quotes provided per S.Reed  and J.Person.  So Rivera is saying all the right things today at the podium today. He really should have come to this conclusion after previous Atlanta games  (actually we have heard this song before), but better late then never. Here's hoping that he doesn't get sphincter freeze when it comes down to the aggressive attitude.  Hopefully he takes Shula aside and relates to him that the red zone play calling needs to produce. They can beat this team if they stick to their guns and do what they say. Pound the piss out of them with Stewart then slice them up with K.B, Cotch, and Olsen.  Have faith in the offense to get a yard or two when needed and go for it. If your going to talk the talk , you better walk the walk.

He said he learned from being too conservative and kicking field goals against buffalo last year. How many times does he have to learn?

This.

Feels like deja vu almost, Rivera saying he's learnt from a mistake in a late game loss, Panthers get blown out after a bye and then go on a winning run, hopefully that includes a last game win in Atlanta...

Really Ron ... how insightful.  Seems like we heard that before. 

 

Should have said, 'It was asinine to put on the brakes and leave our kicker with a 46 yd field goal attempt.  Especially considering how well we were moving the ball and the time left on the clock.  But hey, I am still learning.  Next time I won't bring a skirt and will let my players finish the game ... without handcuffs and poor game management'

If we had won the first game with Atlanta we would have won the division yesterday.

More walk and less talk, Rivera.

listening to Ron claim he learns something is like watching Groundhog Day.

Yeah, you keep claiming you learn stuff Ron but then you go right back to your old ways

I was doing family Xmas stuff and didn't get to see the game, but I saw that we started kneeling to run the clock down with like 2 minutes left on the 2 yard line instead of scoring. How does this fit in with the 'stay aggressive' philosophy?

Well, you see, it's a process.

at the end of the game??? No point in trying to score when you can go into victory formation.

Got no beef with that. Browns couldn't stop clock and it ended game.

Techically, if you score a quick TD you then give the Browns a chance to still win

Seriously? That's your example of them not staying aggressive? That's just fuging dumb. The Browns were out of time outs. The game was over. Kneel down is the only play in that situation. Why risk a turnover when all you have to do is kneel on the ball and win the game. Goddamn...

Didn't he say the same thing after the Bills game last year?
