Rivera said games come down to 6 plays.

We are not good enough this year to give games away. We absolutely need to clean things up.

Red Zone offense is also a concern. However, I do believe that will improve as Chud and Cameron grow into their roles.

This team is on the verge of being scary. And it is only going to get better.

The funny thing to me, Cam and Aaron Rodgers both looked almost the same accuracy wise. Both threw beautiful balls but also missed on several... The difference was Cam made 3 wrong choices, but I expected as much as a rookie and he'll learn from it.

Don't know what Smitty was doing on the fumble...

And I still think the penalties were bullsh*t.

Moving forward, things are looking just as awesome as I thought they would. I'm still pissed I have to wait 7 more days to see if my team will get a win, but we have a lot to be happy about.

(SN: A few minor tweaks from the coaching staff and we would be 2-0 right now. This team has to learn to finish as we've collapsed in the 2nd half both games but still lost by a small margin.)

Those won't be Rivera's 6 plays.

One of those two passes to Naanee near the end will make the list.

I agree with this in relation to the original 6 plays posted by Kurb.

He missed a wide open WR that would have tied the game, at least the FG put points on the board, even with the penalty we miss out on 4 points whereas missing a WIDE OPEN man in the end zone misses you out of 7 points.

Correction: Naanee ran poor routes. Rookies normally play slower than they should. Naanee is playing slower than he should.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
