Bengals fire DC after giving up 51 but the Panthers stay pat

[XOBlackxJokerOX]

Everybody knows RR is loyal to a fault. This doesn't surprise me one bit. For him to be a defensive coach, he needs to learn when he needs to take over.

By not firing Washington right after the Steelers game, Rivera has signed his death sentence. They will both be gone at the end of the season unless we make a deep playoff run. The skill level on that D really is not that bad

I missed the part where Steelers had extra time to prepare, they had the same amount time just like us. Yes Thursday night games are difficult but that excuse is getting overused.

Is the panthers defense good yes or no

No, and they have been on the decline since after the superbowl run. Big reason for that is the decisions of the Head coach.  They have enough talent to not get torched by every qb in the league and to look like crap on third downs.

This is quite possibly the worst defense we've fielded since 2011, if not even farther back. No excuse when there's talent on that field. Comes down to poor planning, poor strategy and poor execution. 

Planning and Strategy... hmmm too bad we don’t have a defensive minded head coach to help with that.

  So you folks firing Rivera.... who you got in mind that wins 2/3 of their games and goes to the playoffs 4 out of 5 years. You have wanted this for so long I would imagine there is a long list to replace him with. Let’s hear it....

While we were packing up and flying up to the nation's armPitt, they were in walkthroughs and installing packages.

Lookup the road teams' record on TNF.

Yea but a day of that is used to travel. You’ll get 3 day to prepare for a Thursday night game if you’re the home team and two days if your the away team

[LA_Panther]

I remember the TNF game where we got destroyed by the Giants at home in 2012. The Giants must have put in film work, and walk throughs in the plane

Thoughts:

Well the Bengals are such a historically impressive franchise that we should definitely follow their template and copy their decisions. (sarcasm)

It just hit me 

We are bengals of the NFC. Bengals 2.0 actually since we get playoff wins here and there

  Sure. Playoff wins and earning byes so.you don’t even have to play the first round are overrated. Go with that. 

  Who’s replacing Rivera?
