Here we are beating the crap out of Atlanta.  An unsportsmanlike penalty against Benwikere (I think) is called.

Rivera has the defense on the sideline chewing their asses.  Discipline.  You see it when he walked away.  TD and Luke both stepped in.

This team is a mirror image of Rivera.  Tough, smart and HIGHLY Disciplined.

It is why our defense works.  It is why everyone knows where they are supposed to be.

Many of us including myself questioned Rivera in his first 2 yrs.  He was maturing into a Head Coach.  Now in his 5th season.  He is the master. 

I love him as our head coach and the way he has this team mirrored in his toughness.

Just the fact that he was part of the 85' bears gives him huge amounts of cred. You can see when he fumes after dumb ass penalties, that he is about to explode on the team. When he gets that 'I will kick your ass'  look on the sidelines...time to take cover.

Stupid poo like that can cost you a game.  He holds a tight reign on these guys.  Hard to do when most are millionaires.

I hated the Bears because they were so dominating.  I am happy he brought that with him.

I feel bad that early on I wasn't willing to be patient enough to let Rivera mature into the head coach position and learn all the nuances of being the overall leader of a team.

He needed time to develop the sideline game-management skills, but also time to get the right guys in place, guys who would follow his lead and continue to lead by example.

I apologize, Ron

Many of us were like this. 

IMO he truly has turned into one of the best coaches in the league.  We are lucky to have him.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
