Ron was right. This is what you cried for.

[KaseKlosed]

After watching the Carolina and Detroit game end like it did. I was in awe how we over came Devin Funches off day by dropping a TD, and 3 other catches that would have been first downs. Detroit player stepped out of bounds on a play that should of killed the drive. Cam Newton had 357 Passing yards and 3 TDs.  The defense missed 9 tackles Sunday. Gram Gano was also drinking the same kool-aid as Devin Funches for he cost the team 4 total points. With that being said Ron knew all of this and he decided to no longer be a "coward" and play for overtime. Many of you guys here complain about Ron after every loss and even most wins and you wanted him to have more "balls" as you call it. Well here he is! He wanted to win the game by any means. A Bill B type call. Maybe you rather play for overtime and hope Detroit makes a mistake against your struggling defense.  Overall I like the call I believe we will take care of the Seashawks this Sunday.  The team knows Ron means business. Also Cam I can not blame you for you balled out and misfires happen. However this is what you been screaming for. Live with it and get behind your team. Stop acting like spoiled brats after EVERY single game. RIOT  MF RIOT

I liked the call. No qualms about it.

I just hate the fact he refuses to give Curtis Samuel significant snaps and chooses to throw players under the bus instead of evaluating himself.

[Cary Kollins]

This is peak Ron Rivera.

Of course going for it wasn't the right call. Either way Detroit gets the ball back with plenty of time to get in field goal range. If time was about to expire, sure you can make an argument to go for two.

But Rivera is not too smart. Going for two in this situation was strictly a "I don't trust Gano to make an extra point" play. Of course Ron probably didn't see it that way, but that's what it was.

So many things can go wrong in one play with the game on the line. Why risk it? A tipped pass, one missed block, dropped pass, over throw....

The correct decision there is to kick the extra freaking point and play for overtime.

As a coach you hold players accountable. Ron has faced pressure since day one in Carolina. The winning-est coach in franchise history. He finally has the offensive coordinator he wanted. He will get the defensive coordinator he wants next season. I believe his hands were tied on personal decisions and coaches under JR. We will be ok.

The point is ya'll would still cry if he played for overtime and we lost. The only thing going Carolinas way yesterday was the play of Cam Newton and DJ Moore.... Thats about it. It was the right call. Cam just missed the throw.

I don't know what the point of this is because I don't see many people complaining about going for two. People are rightfully pissed at Ron for once again throwing his players and team under the bus and having zero accountability for his own coaching decisions that hold this team back.

[jfra78]

Hated the call and was hoping when he called TO, that he changed his mind.  We want him to have balls yes, but not in that situation where there isn't enough time to fix it if it goes wrong.  

[nickzz]

SOme of you are incapable of grasping the simplest concepts it’s kind of mind blowing.

 

We don’t want Rivera to have “bigger balls” and to “go for it” more. We want him to make smart fuging decisions....

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

I didn’t hate the call. I hated the fact that his ineptitude is the reason we were even in a position to do that along with poor execution from key players. 

[TheRed]

He hasn't changed. At least not intentionally. Ron Rivera displayed himself to be the same scared coach he always has been by deciding to punt on the previous offensive drive late in the 4th quarter on 4th and a few yards. Wasted opportunities were self inflicted from the staff as well as some players. That much is certain. What is also certain is that Rivera still can't resist but to stick to his ultra conservative approach to game management until it's too late. The 2 point conversion call was just Ron panicking after his usual play it safe antics backfired yet again.

[The Huddler]

I sed to be a big Devin Supporter but im sick of him dropping balls and not playing to his size. 

 

Id much rather have curtis samuel, Moore, and wright in the slot

[Shocker]

I have always liked going for the win there so hard not to like the call.  He is Riverboat after all.

Would really like to see a better play, something with Cam on the move but it was there...just missed him.

[ericr0319]

Ugh, I forgot all about the non-challenge on the first TD drive. HOW WAS THIS NOT CHALLENGED?? Does it really take longer for them to see the replays than it does for us on TV? 

[AggieLean]

I was cool with the call. Cam just missed his guy, and it is what it is.

I’d let “Funch” walk after this year, and I hope Ganos confidence isn’t shot. I guess we’ll see next game.
