Rivera Is Worse Than Fox

[Everfrost]

His last couple years here

Wtf is the difference between the two? We mind as well kept Fox

Go walk in traffic with this bullshit

[beastson]

Well I guess you are one of those dorks that didn't want the useless John Fox fired, no sense trying to talk sense into that kind of person. And accusing me of trolling because I think Fox is an idiot is just low, but what one has come to expect of Fox supporters.

I am NOT a Fox supporter you can ask anybody that

I hated fox. I hated his face, I hated his voice, I hated his white hair, I literally thought about killing him for the "it is what it is" phrase, I hated his stupid clapping after someone do something stupid

Which now I cant really complain seeing as we have a coach that looks like everything around him is moving in super saiyan 4 mode

Fox knew how to prepare for a game, this coaching staff? Psshh

[PanthersPhan18]

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

I truly have no clue what you're trying to say here.

I don't see why people dislike Fox. He's the best coach the Panthers have ever had. Would've been nice to have made the playoffs a couple more times and have won that Super Bowl, but the team was respectable. They had a wild card at QB and when the team had its top level of talent, it was devastated with injuries. After the makeup of the team changed, Tommy John had already had his way with ole Jake.

As of now my fondest memories of the Panthers are Fox ball. Doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon either.

Get your head on a swivel Rivera.

1) Stodgey owner

2) Bad GM

3) Sucky coaches

4) Great Talent....

I guaranteed the huddle posting board he would easily get another job in the NFL. I was crucified at the time.

I am new here on this site and came here for one reason, to see if anyone agrees Riveria sucks!!! the defense they ran on the long pass from 1 yardline was the stupidest i have ever witnessed!! how in the hell can you throw a hell mary and complete it? and no. 43 (cant pronounce his name) why would u try and intercept the pass with 50 second left and there on the 1 yard line! knock the ball down!! when i saw the play start , i said throwing deep is stupid, then boom 43 tries to pick it off!! knock it down stupid, i learned that in Jr .Hi. John Fox should have never been fired, he was the best coach panthers have ever had!! you might as well say our season is over,we will never come back from a 1-3 start with the coaching staff we have, that sucks!!!

The thing that frustrates me the most about this whole team is that after being spooned fed all this talk about being an attacking team on defense, offense, and special teams we are softer now than under fox.

I agree, i kinda feel like he has just been feeding us bullshit since the offseason.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

This low is still not as bad as the last incarnate of Foxie...

You guys kill Rivera for actually being the opposite of Fox..he says whats on his mind and is not deceptive.

- with that said Nakamura has shown what he is by week 2..I hope it pushes Sherrod Martin to being sharper. That is on the coaching staff to have Haruki in positions he cannot be responsible for. Haruki is a special teamer and knows hall of fame safties..it does not rub off.

hahahahaha this is greeatt

[confedr8panther]

Dude, a coach just ran the stupidest defense , on the long pass from the 1 yard line and ur taking up for him? please, FIRE RIVERIA!! he Sucks, Thats why Cam does all that stupid touchdown poo,is cause we have a guttless Head Coach!!! Get a Head Coach with some toughness and RULES for his players!!! A DISIPLINARIAN! would b a great idea!!!

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.

[Miaoww]

The problem I have is that this team is fundamentally awful.

For me to get behind Rivera I have to see a dramatic improvement in the technical side of the team and the mental side. We blow too many blocks, whiff too many tackles and are in the wrong position on D far too often. Look at Harbaugh's team in San Francisco. If their guy gets his hands on a man he goes down. Their coverages are always tight and they run the ball down your throat even when you know it's coming.

That's what I want and that's what I'm not getting from Rivera.

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

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

Oh you were wacthing the 49er's game.

We are talking about the Panthers game.

The more you know.*NBC Star*

Rivera absolutely made the right call at the end of the game. We had them backed up on the 1 ducking yard line with less than a minute to go.

Blame Naksmura for a terrible play...not to mention his blown coverage on the first TD....blame Cam for putting the ball in the ground....but Rucera absolutely made the right call.

Now the lady series of the first half, that is a mystery to me. Bad coaching and bad execution.

Yes it is the safe high percentage move. We similar things at the end of the Saints game. We are very lucky Brees didn't win that game too. These guys don't know how to close out a game. Chud isat his best when we are unpredictable. Do what it takes to move the chains and stop obsessing over the clock.

It looked like the right call when the punt landed at the 1 but how often do we execute that well on punt coverage. The odds were just a high that it would be at the 20. That wouldn't have been much of a difference in field position. When a first down wins the game, it is worth the risk. Belichick would have gone for it.
