This Loss Is On Everyone [That make y'all arguers any happier?]

[Pimpdaddy]

...what a mess...no identity other than choking....

Well, to be fair, we knew we didn't have the talent needed on the OL and Gettleman did nothing to address that.  But, we left a ton of points on the field in the 1st half and then we simply didn't come out of the locker room after halftime.  Shula is still calling plays as if we actually have an NFL caliber OL.  And as much as I love him, Cam simply played like dog poo in the 2cd half.  No way around it.  Carson Palmer gave us chance after chance, but Cam matched him suck for suck in the 2cd half.

All on players? Maybe but he truth it always falls on the coaches. Cams interceptions...QB coach...dropped passes...WR coach...sorry but it is part of the coaches as we'll.

[CarolinaNut]

how anyone could blame this on rivera is beyond me...players just didn't make plays...and i'm speaking for the offensive side of the ball...so many chances and the players just couldn't get it done!!

This is such bull. Its easy to look at this game in a bubble and say hey, its the players fault.

 

But thats a mistake.

 

You have to look at the Rivera era as a whole and how his team has reflected him.

 

They are unprepared, undisciplined, and self destructive.

 

Its the coaching.

[Marguide]

So you guys see players not making key plays and want to absolve Rivera?

 

I saw an undisciplined and unprepared group of 46 players. A few played okay. The rest of the team played like hot garbage. It is coaching, simple and plain.

 

Look at our play calling versus Arians'. It's night and day. We do not have a quality coaching staff, and there is no way it will ever be good enough to make this team significant.

 

Edit: Zod beat me to it. Listen to him. He speaks the truth.

I agree 100%.  Tomorrow Ron Rivera will hold his usual press conference.  He will deflect blame, and say we didn't execute well enough to win, and the players have to get better.

 

And for the first time in 3 years, he will be 100% correct.

I predict he will be fired tomorrow. 

[Zod]

You guys act like Rivera has 0 responsibility on how his team practices, prepares, and conducts themselves.

 

HE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT

[Qu1million]

:/ players don't love Rivera that much

[Woodcookedbbq]

Every player....except Kuechly.

[Kevin Greene]

Coaching staffs have to coach players upand put them in a position to succeed on Sundays.

They don't.

WTF is even this offense's identity? 1st down and 10 and try not to screw anything up?

 

Blow Rivera and the OC out NOW.

Put McDermott in charge.

Bullshit! We aren't talking rookies here. They are vets who are fuging up. Granted, G-man is ultimately responsible for the O-line, but there is no way you can put this type of loss on Rivera. No way!

It is on the players obviously.  It's on the players every game.  When there's a trend as unbelievable as these last few years have been, you have to put it on the guys putting those players out there.  One week it's this guy, another week it's another guy, the next week it's some other guy.  The team as a whole is a consistent failure.  How can you put it on anyone else besides the coaches?
