“Missed Opportunities”

[*FreeFua*]

The two words everyone was waiting for...

What a god damn MORON

 

[Mr. Scot]

I thought they were kidding about him saying that.

Oy...

It's the same story after every loss. For a supposed player's coach, Ron sure does have a helluva history of throwing players under the bus after each and every loss. It always comes down to execution amd missed opportunities. Meanwhile, our vaunted front seven hasn't been able to stop the run or rush the passer with any success all season long under new DC Eric Washington. This after being 2nd in the NFL in sacks last season. Your boy isn't getting it done, Ron. Can you fix it or not? If not, then exactly what are you good for? You're supposed to be a great defensive coach.

He is right, we had opportunities to make catches and make easy FGs. We also had opportunities to take Bumbass out of the game but he stayed in for some odd reason.

Like the opportunity to plant Funchess on the bench?  That kind of opportunity?  Or did he mean something different . . . asking for a friend.

[PanthersBigD]

How on Earth do you bench your kicker to go for two, but keep Funchess in the entire game while limiting Samuel's snaps?????? Crap coaching, crap decision-making. 

The cherry on top is that the Lions don't score their first touchdown if Rivera was on top of things enough to know to challenge those yards after catch.

No reason to bench Funch. He takes pressure off DJ and Curt. Cam started to overthinking and didn't hit the throw. Not the end of the world. That said, I wish we would have kicked it. We were killing their defense and their offense lost the run game and they couldn't do anything.

Go home Ron, you're drunk. Exactly how many balls does a guy need to drop in order to justify taking him out of the game? Because Funchess dropped 5. Nearly half of our incomplete passes yesterday were balls dropped by #17.

Can we get Jordan to ask this specific question bc it's a dead on assessment. Our kicker failed twice to do his job Fun failed about five times the same kicker who won hit a 63 yarder to win this year please name a game Fun isn't doing something to hurt us. If we all can't see his lack of blocking when the young guns get the ball on reverses he's usually not blocking just standing there it's becoming a weekly thing for him to be unengaged mentally. Holding back Samuels productivity while hurting the team by playing a much lesser talented player tells you all we need to know about MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

The play literally happened right in front of him. He never got two feet down.

Ron is a stupid asshole of a Coach. Seriously.

[Paa Langfart]

Well guys,  it is what it is.

Thread title is a perfect description for Rivera's time here as our head coach.
