Matt Rhule just said this in his presser.

 

Tell ya what, It wasn't the result I wanted and there is a ton of improvements to make, but I like his attitude. The buck stops here is always a winning perspective for any leader. 

If I'm thinking correctly his statement was in response to the 4th and 1, and I like the fact he is taking the blame, but honestly that play is on the players and that is ok.

Sometimes its not about outthinking or tricking the opponent, you have to line up and push them more than they push you.  For such a young team with a new staff,   you are basically putting faith in your team to win that battle.

Rivera's team philosophy already being dwarfed by a college coach in his first NFL game.

Lol. I did nothing wrong. I instilled the perfect game plan and coached the perfect game. These damn players just can’t seem to do anything right. Had they executed, we would have won the game 56-0. 

-Ron Rivera, probably

I think the staff , including Rhule , coached a very good game. 
The talent wasn’t equal .

But admitting “ it’s on me “ on a bad play call , isn’t admirable. 
It doesn’t matter if he admits it or not ,, we know it was a bad call on 4th and 1 when driving for a winning touchdown..

Ron Rivera made some great play calls today.  

 

 

Sorry, just had to say it.

A loss is a loss no matter what you say after the game.

That’s a refreshing change.

He might have been talking about Gruden.  He did not mention names.

 

Seriously---it has been so long since we have experienced a leader who accepts the blame without faulting others.  Refreshing.

It is debatable. The play was the same play we used on a short yardage situation earlier in the game and got the first down. I suspect Gruden was expecting the call, so it was really a 50/50 shot. We were forcing Gruden to choose between the FB and McCaffery and it wouldn’t even be a conversation if he had gotten the first down.

It's easy to say this in your first game of a 7 year deal.  Not like he's on the hot seat or anything
