Props to Rivera

[unicar15]

The answer is that yesterday we played the Skins as opposed to the teams we have lost to which include Atlanta, Seattle, Tampa (away), NYG, Dallas, and Chicago...conceivably other than Tampa every one of those teams is a playoff team....and even Tampa could be a playoff team when all is said and done.

We haven't had the benefit of playing bad teams. Even the teams we played with mediocre records are better than most of the league...such as Dallas and Seattle.

So...the short answer is that we played a team equally as bad as us yesterday and that's why we won. Beat Denver this week and maybe I'll believe differently.

I think we have a shot at Denver. They love to man up on the outsides and leave them on an island with the WRs. If Fox is crazy enough to play that game against Smitty, it has to be exploited. If he doesn't lose his mind, then we need another WR to blow the top off the D - insert Gettis.

Defensively, you have to be physical and bump their WRs at the line. Manning will pick us apart with that bail-at-the-snap crap. Our current CBs live for this type of play. They love to get their hands on WRs and push them around. Keuchly and the LB group will have their hands full with McGahee and that run game, but I think their up for the challenge.

Tough schedule. 5 close losses. Offense hasnt performed like we expected bc of the read option look. No energy up until the last few games.

The talent is here folks. Just got to establish the mentality of a winner.

I will give Rivera lots of props for the way the D & team have played recently. I will give him congratulations when he gives us some consistency...

Do we fire any of the coaches? Lets see how the next 8 weeks play out. Chud may have fugged up the 1st half, but as long as he has realized his mistakes and fixes them let him keep going. He had given us a very entertaining to watch offense, if not semi-productive. All of us were 100% behind Chud after last season. Im sure he thought his 'new' gameplan would work, you dont do what he did without figuring on success. Rivera just kept feedin him rope, and the new plan hung him. Chud gets things back on track, then Im willing to forgive him for his mistake(s). If not, then off he goes...

now do you agree with me

I gotta admit, Ron Rivera is the best ever at losing. Never before has a coach been so creative at finding new ways to ****** defeat from the jaws of victory week after week. It's pretty amazing.

The season is lost when that number in the loss column exceeds 7. Until then, I will keep on keeping on. What can it hurt?

OK, NOW the season is lost.

Why do people keep bumping old threads?

because their whole sense of self worth is wrapped up into those brief and few moments when they were actually right about something somewhere.
