Rivera rips defense, says he won’t accept poor play

[ickmule]

He should be pissed,  but lack of talent won’t get fixed by being pissed.  This is a 9-7 team talent wise.

Personnel changes have been made in the past.  In 2014, we made lots of changes towards the end of the season.  This year, it might be harder to make changes, as we don't have that many ready replacements.  

 

That was 2014 lol been a long time. And there weren't many then, only thing now is for sure the lack of depth, and quality of depth :( wiswish we'd sign eric Reid

NFL.com puts together a gamebook for every game, it's a PDF with all sorts of stats. Takes them a day or two to get the snap counts into.

Click on the "X" in the circle to close the video, you'll see a link to the gamebook. Doesn't have snap counts yet, will soon.

dying to see Butler’s total vs Poe. Maybe it just seemed like Butler was out there a lot because every time there was a big run it was him they were running by.

Lol at bleacher report

OK, they added the snap counts to the PDF, they're always in the last couple of pages.

Maybe someone should tell him not to play a slow backup MLB at SAM and use Horton like a 3 down DE.

Sometimes no matter what you do things just seem to go wrong.  This is how I felt about Sunday's loss. 

Our defense contained Brady during the dress rehearsal, shut down Dallas for the most part and stopped Atlanta when we needed to at the end of game to give us an opportunity to tie, which we almost did.

If we get tore up on Sunday my tune might change but for now.  I would say this was an abnormal performance and we'll be better against Cincinnati.

Maybe he should've gave a damn about the safety position in the offseason.

Atlanta was down to their 3rd string safety after Kazee's ejection, yet it didn't seem to help us much.

Cam was moving the ball at will during the late 3rd quarter and 4th quarter.  Our offense self-imploded and the defense couldn't hold up their end of the bargain.

Yeah i agree, i thought mayo would backup luke.  He is to slow to play OLB. I actually thought carter would like down that spot. And i have been saying they were dumb for relying to much on horton, he is a 2 down player.

This seems less than ideal.

@PanthersBill: Red zone’s gonna be important again. 

CAR D is tied for 31st (opponents have scored 5 TDs in 5 trips).

We thought that LW when freeman was out

Tevin Coleman, in my opinion, is the better of the two backs. I doubt many of the posters who actually watch football here would believe that having to face Coleman rather than Freeman is an advantage.
