that quote seemed uncharacteristic of rivera. unless he wasn't saying it matter-of-factly, but sort of as a quip. i haven't seen the actual presser so i'm unsure of the context

I thought the exact same thing.

"There is always next week" is the sound of someone defeated. Rivera doesn't seem like that guy.

But there is a next week. We play the Saints**.

He's right. The world doesnt end because the Panthers dropped their first game, even though 98% of the ppl here think it does. Even in week 17, theres a next week, a next week to train and get better(or worse). Take this loss and use it to get better. This team can do just that. They can look at their s**t performance from Sunday and get better.

My sentiments exactly regarding all of the apologists' remarks throughout the forum. It's just one game, the first game, and there's always next week typify a loser's mentality. However, it is true that when you get knocked down, the important thing is what you do when you get back up. In that respect, the rest of season CAN be different from that opening fiasco.

So Rivera should tell everyone that the sky has fallen? He should rage to the media to show everyone that he was upset over the loss? We should cry about this game instead of worrying about our next opponent? Instead of studying the Saints** tape in preparation for this Sunday, we should have a pow-wow on how that loss hurt our feelings. That will prepare us for next week. Rivera doesn't give up on the season because of one loss. You guys should try getting over it too. You all think you would make better coaches, but your vaginas would get in the way.

I don't get the vibe that people are mad about the loss, or simply losing. This team will lose plenty of times, but it's how they're losing and Rivera's responses to the losing that generates the negativity about him.

Coming out and simply not caring is God awful.

I don't see how not yelling at reporters and talking poo about his team to the public proves that he doesn't care. You make it seem as if better coaches can't wait until they're interviewed after a loss so they can cry to everyone about how awful they looked. Why does Rivera need to prove to you or me that he cares anyways?

I wanted ron to get pissed

I'm sure he is pissed. Behind closed doors they got an earful of Rivera.

Why do people forget about how he raged at practice and made them all do it all over again, how he basically barked at the players for not giving effort?

Do people forget these things quickly or is it selective memory? You only choose to remember what you want to remember?

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
