Ron Rivera blew all three timeouts on a single point-less drive in a fourth quarter one-score game against a divisional rival

Ron Rivera isn't a bad coach but there's a reason he's got a reputation for being situationally weak. He deserves all the criticism he gets for it.

Thankfully offensive talent bailed him out. I am all for complementary football - we saw it played out yesterday in textbook form - but I fear Ron Rivera's achilles heel is a coaching weakness that can never complement weaknesses in other areas and pick the team up.

Let's hope we're good enough to never rely on it.

against the best offense in the league and a struggling pass rush we absolutely 100% did not have that luxury. one or two plays go differently and we're coming from behind in the two minute warning and we're out of time outs.

poor management from the head coach. we got lucky it didn't burn us.

like i love watching the Falcons and Patriots where at the end of every half they have all three timeouts and just casually drive down the field, controlling the clock and easily getting into field goal range/score a TD.

Meanwhile the Panthers are without timeouts midway through the third because Ron wanted to challenge the spot on a 2 yard run on 1st and 10.

Ron Rivera is mania type for being such a cool calculated individual imo.

Either he gets too aggressive or he is too conservative. 

When he gets burned for being too aggressive, he returns to being passive/reactive Ron. Basically Ron becomes rigid and stuck in his ways. 

If he stays aggressive at the beginning of squeelers game then I know he is trying to break his cycle.

He always talking about not letting off the gas, this coming game will prove to me if he can get over his fear of mistakes.

Going from memory here, but 1 TO was lost to a challenge, right? The other 2 were the inability of this team to get in the huddle, call a play and get to the line. And don't forget the 5 yard delay of game penalty when they had no more time outs...

If there's one thing which hampers this offense, it's not having the time to look over the D and change the play because by the time this team is at the line there are like 5-7 seconds left on the play clock. That whole time Cam is giving us his 1st down pose and smiling to the crowd, the play clock is running.

One thing or a couple of things I saw with the Rams and Saints game that stand out--

The Rams get to the line fast for plays ala Chip Kelly,... Sean Payton got his team back in to score before the half and so did the Rams with a quick fieldgoal,..

They dont waste timeouts,.. the Seans use them as a weapon, have teams that play with a sense of urgency when they need to move fast.

Thats the element that is still missing from the Panthers I feel. Not only situational headcoaching-- but having the team READY to play in those situations, namely when the urgency is on the line.

Cam and the defense have shown up late in games and gotten us back in or won at key moments, but many of those key moments were caused by early failures or lack of the situational preparedness I mentioned.

Its an element we really have not had and need.

Things during game day like clock management and timeouts still eludes Ron this many years in, so he's just never going to figure it out.    He's not a bad coach but he's not a good coach.     Ron is an exceptional DC, but he's a mediocre HC.     This is just how it is and we have to roll with it.

      2025 scheduled opponents less division opponents

      from the observer     Miami Dolphins. The Panthers will welcome one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, led by Alabama alum Tua Tagovailoa and fast-as-a-cheetah Tyreek Hill, to Bank of America Stadium in 2025. The Dolphins are 8-8 this year and are 6-2 against the Panthers all-time. *Seattle Seahawks. This home matchup marks a full-circle moment for Dave Canales, who cut his NFL teeth under Pete Carroll in Seattle. Carolina is 4-9 all-time against the Seahawks and lost the last contest in the matchup in 2023. Seattle is 9-7 heading into Week 18. *Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are perennial playoff contenders and have notched seven winning seasons the past eight years. The Panthers are 12-10 against the Rams all-time. *Buffalo Bills. This year it was the Kansas City Chiefs. This year’s Super Bowl contenders making a trip to Bank of America Stadium? Josh Allen and the Bills. The Panthers are 2-6 all-time against the Buffalo franchise. New York Giants / Cowboys. The Panthers had a home game — technically — against the Giants this year. That was in Germany, of course. And the 2025 Giants (3-13 entering Week 18) will look a lot different than the ones the Panthers faced in Munich, what with a new quarterback coming and a refurbished offense. That is, of course, if the Panthers finish last in the NFC South. If not, they face the Cowboys (7-9) New England Patriots. Panthers fans get an up-close look at their homegrown NFL quarterback when Carolina travels to Foxborough to take on the Drake Maye-led Patriots. The Pats are 3-13 entering Week 18. New York Jets. The Jets are 4-12 this year and have an existential crisis to handle this offseason — with their situations at quarterback and their head coach not exactly stable. At least for now, it feels like a compelling matchup for the Panthers on the road. San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers seem much better than 6-10. And they will likely be in 2025 — particularly if former Panther Christian McCaffreystays healthy. The Panthers are 13-9 against San Francisco all-time. Chicago Bears / Green Bay Packers. The Panthers are either playing the last-placed Bears or the second-to-last-place Packers in 2025, two very different. The mostly that emerged from Soldier Field this season focused on how much the Bears had “fleeced” the Panthers in their blockbuster trade before the 2023 season. But with Bryce Young playing well and the Bears in free fall and with a new coach incoming, that perception might be different next season. Tennessee Titans / Jaguars. The Panthers are facing either the last-place team or the second-to-last place team in the AFC South in 2025, depending on Sunday’s results. (A Titans win and a Jaguars loss could knot them at 4-13 each, but the Jags have the edge with their divisional record and would thus earn the tiebreaker.) Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers are also facing the Cardinals, who are entering Week 18 with a 7-9 record.

      Bryce Young post benching if it were a full season worth of stats.

      Who is J. Stafford and R Prescott? Looks like a random number generator piece of AI crap

      Losing by 14 or more will clinch the worst point differential in franchise history.

      By LelouchBritannia · Posted

      Our offense averages 18.6 points per game, good for 25th in the league this year. Not great. worst offense ever? 7.4 ppg. Over 11 points per game difference. our defense? 31 ppg. Good for 32nd (by a lot) worst defense ever? 32.5 ppg by the 2020 lions.
