Honestly I don't think we've ever had one.

Our staffs have always seemed like we go into game day with a game plan that either works or doesn't. In-game adjustments have never seemed our forte.

What adjustments? Our philosophy has always been we run what we run and it's up to the opposing teams to stop it. If they then oh well, "it is what it is". "Missed opportunities" was why we lost.

The cool answer I want to give is Capers, because he did some amazing stuff with the league's cast offs. However --

I've got to give the award to John Fox for his Super Bowl run and two NFC title game appearances. He simply did not have the personnel that Rivera did and somehow he still made it work. Peppers and Smitty were HoF players to be sure, but Rivera had Cam and Luke to balance that out. 

Fox coached comebacks regularly, ones that we had no way of winning. Rivera, ehhh, not so much. He either beat you with his gameplan coming in or he didn't beat you at all.

Yep, which is why once upon a time we were the "Cardiac Cats". It was like the total opposite with Ron. With Ron it felt like even a 10 point deficit was insurmountable.

It worked both ways with Fox. We were almost never out of it, but we also played down to competition and tried to run out the clock in the third quarter

I think Fox and Rivera were about the same. Solid coaches.  Who both had stretches of really solid coaching specifically in seasons were things started to go south or were forced to dig out of holes they basically put themselves in.   

Yes, they both did their finest coaching after mathematical elimination.

      Team Cap Space: $35,099,731 (per OTC)

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Other than being the offseason and there isn't much to talk about, why does anyone worry about the cap? We can do whatever we want and still have cap space. You don't think the front office hasn't already figured it out and what they intend to do. Me I am just sitting back and watching. After all my job isn't on the line if we lose. Although at my age we don't have forever if I am going to live to see us play in another superbowl

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      I get the TD's and I pointed it out, but like I said, when Burrow had more than double the TD's than Geno had, I think Higgins increased TDs compared to DK was more a product of Burrow and the Bengals offense than because of him vs DK as WRs. When one of their QB's finished 4th in MVP voting despite missing the playoffs and the other was just traded for a late 3rd round pick and replaced by Sam Darnold, I think that's a tough narrative to brush aside to just look at raw stats as well. Again, swap DK and Higgins last year, do you honestly believe DK wouldn't have put up better stats than Higgins did? Contracts and trade compensation aside, I'm taking DK over Higgins 100 out of 100 times, there is no debate about it for me.

      More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too.
