Ron Rivera handed TB this game with this horrible timeout

[Sam Mills Fan]

What is he thinking there? Our season is now over because of him.

[electro's horse]

how about you cover that one wide reciever on the 3rd down play i dunno im not a football guy

[therealmjl]

Yep. AWFUL.

[Carl Spackler]

What difference does it make? If it wasn't him, our season would be over because of:

Dave Gettleman

Graham Gano

Mike Remmers

Daryl Worley

Bene Benwikere

Tre Boston

Mike Shula

Somebody has to blow every game so we can go 1-15 and pick a DT from Montclair State.

[Chaos]

I hope he's over too.  I'm done with his inability to manage critical thinking situations.  Sure, anyone can manage being down by a huge deficit, and he has shown his problems when we have a big lead, but when the game is on the line, he's the worst.

[Yaboychris28]

Easy to say after the point. At least he wasn't playing for ot 

[Fox007]

Been saying it for awhile now...Rivera is a legit moron...seriously not hyperbole or just being fan...he really isn't a smart human being.

[Toolbox]

He was nearly fired twice already... can the 3rd time finally be the charm please???

I agreed with the first timeout since we had plenty of time and had a chance at stopping them. Now the timeout that he called after they made the 1st down, on a pass play to the only WR that went out for a pass >_<........, I was questioning him. Then again the refs gave them a free timeout as well so what the hell, the football gods decided they wanted to help Tampa in the end.

[PhillyB]

bucs were playing for overtime.

it's great to see him taking the initiative and trying to get the ball back - there've been plenty of times we've all screamed at him for leaving points on the field. but don't do it when your defense is a leaky sieve. don't do it when all they need to do is get enough time for a field goal.

ron gambled big and lost.

[OneBadCat]

It was such an idiot move. 

Remmers and Gano are also just so fuging absurd it's comedic out there

[Cpt slay a ho]

Common fault with Rivera, trusting his d dense more then the offense. Literally no pass rush as the bucs drive into field goal range......the fact that you trusted Rookies and a 3rd string cb to hold two explosive receivers.is ridiculous....

[Eazy-E]

As much as I love JR this is where the owner should step in. Why the fug did we sign Ron to an extension. I mean superbowl hang over and all, a team that has been to the superbowl the year before has not sucked as bad as this team since like 2003. After that abomination of a game you have to fire the coaching staff. I mean maybe make Mcdermott interim HC but fug me. That was the worst offensive and head coaching display I may have ever seen when a season was on the line. Absolutely inexcusable. I am at a loss for words. I have sat through 20 years of Panthers football and this is by far the most disappointing season I can ever remember.

[Millioso7]

Truth is da lose the game with greed he wanted a Td back because of his int...should've threw that ball in the back of the enzone
