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.

    • 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
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
