they held Dallas to one TD and 4 field goals....what the defense needs is for the offense to avg more than 18 points a game.

I agree that the D has been much improved, but its still a fact that when we need them to stop Dallas they didn't... they drove down the field and got the FG.

[Way Truth Life]

RIvera just said that all personnel decisions will be up to him at this point.

This is why Richardson has no business owning an NFL team....cheap ass is going to leave the poo storm to a guy who can't even coach just so he can fire his ass in December....Happy Day.

its up on panthers.com now.

Concerns with Rivera:

1. saying we are 'vertical' when we don't have the players to be 'vertical'.

2. no involvement on the sidelines with Newton, at all, none, zero zip. That pass intercepted in the end zone, Newton should

have been called over and addressed by Rivera right then 'what were you thinking' would have been a great start.

3. He is the head coach, if he does not like the scheme that Chud is using, tell him, 'stop running 3 receiver sets against

that defense.

4. start running the ball with heavy sets.

5. finally, trying to make the Panthers Chargers East, honest to god, have the Chargers ever done anything?...seriously.

The list is long; but, for him to say it's possible an 'assistant may go'. Please. Who hired the assistant.

This team needs shaking up..I don't know much about Hurney but IMO, no players sholud feel their job is safe.

IMO, there is this level of complacency with this team that has got to stop.

[BountyHunter]

A small thing i noticed. RR was wearing a plain button up shirt for the PC. He usually wears some sort of Panthers gear to his PC's. did he come in today expecting to get the ax today, too? Seems like it.

So you're mentality is ONLY YOUR QB and coachs are the ultimate cause of your team failure??? 2-14 season here we come.

When will the mentality of you folks change?

At last check Fox is doing quite well in Denver. And he did a pretty darn good job with a crooked arm QB like The Golden Calf of Bristol. So the problem with this team clearly wasn't his fault alone.

To bad you're holding Clausen hostage. One will never tell if the bad games had to do with him or not given a chance to grow and learn. But judging from how Cam is being treated, I'll say the issue lies with this team and it's fans mentality.

[footballisasport]

No different than our offense having the ball with a few minutes left and needing one FG/TD or even to run out the game....and not delivering either.

We have been in this situation numerous times over the past two seasons....and the offense has failed to deliver even once.

Neither side of the ball have been clutch performers.

Maybe it's time to disect every area of this team and see what the real problem is.

Every Sunday it's the same nonsense. Why is it that when every other team lose, they bounce back the next time but not this one?

[pstall]

didn't watch. don't care. as long as jr runs the show this team will aspire to Hardee's like medocrity.

If that is what you have taken away from my body of comments on this forum and this particular comment in response specifically to Rivera, then think what you want and just so you know, I really don't care what you think about my mentality.

It never ceases to amaze me how some posters on this board try and make things a personal attack. Go troll someone else.

[Highlandfire]

Rivera says they are going to "change things and make things different"

Start with the QB and we will be light years ahead

[pantherclaw]

Rivera is in over his head...

He seems to think their doing everything right with the exception of a few missed opportunities but he seems to blame player execution more so than coaching.

coaching on goes so far. The players have to execute, and.i don't see many fans at all holding the.players accountable.

[FastNFurious]

So the guy who is infatuated with San Diego Chargers will be the final say on all player moves..... awesome
