Rivera Doesn't Foresee 'retribution' Versus The Saints. (Nfl.com Article)

The league's investigation into the Saints' bounty program revealed that Carolina quarterback Cam Newton was among those targeted by Saints players during the 2011 season. The intent was to take him out.

The Saints have been exposed and must eventually return to the field to face the very teams and players they marked for injury.

"I'd be surprised if there's any retribution, I really would," Panthers coach Ron Rivera told ESPN.com on Wednesday at the NFL Annual Meeting.

"When we play them, it's not going to be about that. It's going to be us playing them trying to win our division. And that's what it should be. It should be about the game, and not what happened."

First mistake by New Orleans: Pinpointing a lion such as Newton, who will burn to torch the Saints' defense deep into the decade.

There will be retribution. The entire team hates the Saints. After all this has come out they're going to march in there ready to take heads off. I expect an absolute killing.

I dont know it will be so much about retribution but I suspect there will be a lot of locker room fodder and some some extra pep in their step. I can see a very orchestrated Smitty touchdown celebration with a fake tackle and wallet/payout. Hopefully it will rival the Minnesota boat thing he did a couple years back.

Rivera is saying what I would expect any good coach to.

We will be playing with a chip on our shoulder. We always play those scumbags hard but will be sending a message. You think steve smith was vocal in the 2 games last year before all this went down...just wait.

maybe not direct retribution, but yeah, like others have said, increased hatred. Hopefully will lead to Panthers putting on a beatdown of epic proportions

Coach Rivera won't be thinking revenge, but the players will.

In terms of winning and playing tough, sure I hope.

Retribution makes me think they will be intentionally trying to injure players. I personally don't see that happening.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
