Rivera Is Worse Than Fox

[Pantherman]

Guys just face it. We are one of the most cursed teams in the league. When things seem to be going good for us. It suddenly falls apart on us. That has been going on for many years now. No surprise to me. Well another week and another loss. What is new.

[raleigh-panther]

R u kidding me?

I mean we just took alt to the wire @ their house.

You people amaze me, It is improvement, and we should of had that.

Second year coach against a 4 year old team.

if you guys like fox so much go be a fuggin Broncos fan.

Tell that to Jim Harbaugh.

First year coach last year.

Improvement isn't enough. The team played it's heart out today. The coaches didn't help them win, not with the stupid ass offensive play calling.

Not with the gutless not trying at the end of the second half.

Not with not keeping Keuchley on the field.

I'm really sick of it.

They expect a 23 year old to save them. If Carolina had stayed with the I formation they would have won this game; but, no, let's just keep running a play the rest of the league now knows how to defense.

Rivera also knows his secondary is week.

Grow a pair, take you 6'5" 260 lb qb and tell him DIVE for one yard and go for it.

The odds of us getting the 1st at the end of the game were probably twice as high as the odds of us stopping them from getting a field goal. We would have stopped a touchdown but a field goal seemed like a given. You have to adjust and tailor calls to what you have to work with. It's not happening.

[Dorian Gray]

Rivera (or Chud, or both) seem so terrified that our offense is going to make a mistake and lose us the game that they go into a shell at the end of halfs or with the lead. We had a good offensive flow in the first half, and sat on it to get to halftime. We were 1-2, had a 4th-and-1, in Atlanta territory, to put the game away at the end, and we punt. Knowing our secondary is the worst in the NFL. I would trade Rivera for Fox today.

[FirstRoundPick]

Not that I don't agree we should have gone for it. because I do. But if we did go for it and failed, many of you guys would be blaming him as well for not punting the ball.

So we would have lost either way? Who does that fall on?

[beastson]

Lol OMG man

All he do is just stand there. I am so lost right now lol

[SmootsDaddy89]

I dont know who Harbaugh is but heres a pie chart.

I fully agree. I don't understand all the hate. I thought the team did a great job in a very tough place to play. I would very easily consider the Falcons one of the top 5 teams in the NFL yet people act like we lost to the Dolphins. What I saw today was a team in Carolina that can still make the playoffs and compete at a high level but is still probably another draft away from being a championship team. The biggest issue is our secondary, mostly Norman and Nakamura. I honestly believe Norman will develop as the year goes along, I see lots of positives mixed with a few bad plays. Nakamura is good, but we need to address starting FS next season either through the draft or free agency. Besides that I thought this team looked solid.

[TruthVsComfort]

Absolutely. Rivera may have been one heck of a DC, but has struggled to say the least as a HC. I dunno if one can grow into the position and become great or if he will find himself going back to DC as Dom Capers...

Its time for Martin to come back. He woulda picked that poo off

Mcdermott is useles, he needs to go and Rivera needs to focus on the D. Chud needs to focus on the O. He should be thinking HC status right now

[njcarolina]

Not defending some of the mistakes made today but...

A punt can be a good play.

The other team makes plays too.

It is what it is.

There's your John Fox postgame presser

I dont know what game you were watching but I saw a game the players won and the coach lost.

Basically, we have potential...wait until next year...same ole, same ole

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

yes rivera is very good with moral victories. he should be enshrined in the imaginary football HOF for that, because we always win the "always next year" SB

You are right shoulda had a superbowl ring last year.

I have tried to keep my mouth shut but you new guy sare complete r-tards.

I wish tht this was 2002 when we had 11 fans, because 11 real fans are better than a million jackasses.
