There IS a different feel to things this year

I'm as critical as anyone, and our coach is still not a good coach and it will show up at some juncture.

 

But I just want to say this team is GOOD, and in the past when we started slow we were not good. We are sound on both sides of the ball... to dominating on defense.

 

Newton hasn't even played his best ball, and is off to a great start (6 TD, 2 INT).

 

We should be 3-0. I think we are going to have a shot to beat the next four opponents. We will be in these games. They'll be close... you have to hope Rivera stops taking his foot off the pedal... if he allows us to attack, attack, attack and not be afraid of losing agrressively then we will have a shot every week this season.

 

But trust me, this team is good. This isn't going to be a 7-9 or 6-10 like past years - I don't think. We can beat anyone on any given Sunday and the guys know it (Smitty saying we WILL make the playoffs, he's seen some good teams, knows what a playoff team looks like, plays like, and practices like).

 

Today; the way we won, not just that we won; was just confirmation that this is a different year... even if ultimately Rivera will hold our talent back.

No there isn't we lost both game before less than 7 same old poo. The Giants have some huge problems but we just beat them woo fuging hoo. We still suck and Rivera is not the right coach.

 

Agree, he's a loser. He'll eventually get fired for being inept.

 

But we have a legit shot to be 5-2 this year. And we in fact almost should be. In fact we should be 7-0 based on talent. Haven't been able to say that under rivera yet

at least 4-3, 5-2 would be nice but when it comes to games when luck is needed we usually do get it....Our special teams needs some work on punt coverage or something though....all those issues the first game and then today again.  I think our Def is starting to find themselves....that will pay huge dividends.....I've been saying it for awhile....we seem like one of the older bears teams....great def that either scores or puts in the OF in position to score short yardage plays...but we actually have  a QB and it seems our OC has finally realized some read option opens this playbook up a lot.....glad we have this early bye now...then off to AZ.....let get it to .500 and hopefully the saints lose a few on the way..KEEP POUNDING!!!!!

I can't believe this guy has the nerve to post this after his past statements and one just a few hours ago..

 

 

Aw look, you still have a hard on for me. I'm like so shocked that your worthless drivel is a negative parroting of one of my posts. I couldn't have guessed when I saw you responded to one of my posts that it would be some type of negative accusation.

I wish there was a "flying tomato" button over beside the "delicious pie" button for posts like this.

It isn't an accusation when you typed it yourself genius.

I've become skeptical of Rivera, but I'm going to say that on a positive note the team seems to believe in this staff. They know more about this staff than any fan and from what I see the players believe in him. Also, lets not forget that Gettleman himself said he was here to help improve everyone. I'm not so sure this team can't win 10 games this season and make the playoffs. Like some of you I'm not ready to hate on Rivera and push him out the door. As long as we win I don't care who the coach is. Yeah, it's early, but look at Harbaugh in SF, they don't look so damn good right now and everyone so wished he was our coach last year.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
