exact quote from ron rivera's post-game press conference.

i almost hope he's fired by the time i wake up tomorrow, just for this.

edit: there's a r and a period and an end quote missing from the topic title Laughing

True, it's only the 2nd time we have been completely dominated from start to finish, but it's the small loses that matter too. The inability to get us over the "hump" and finish close games shows less than satisfactory grades for Rivera.

God he's awful. I mean who the hell says that? Is only being destroyed 2 out of 9 games that much to hang your hat on when you've still lost 5 other games?

This is the kind of mindset I might expect out of a player. But out of a freakin' coach?

This is beyond frustrating to hear.

Yeah thats a pretty retarded thing to say.

But also, I didn't realize we sat Smitty out of the game to put "younger" guys in. How many plays are we talking? And why do we think this is a smart idea?

It's really unbelievable that we did not convert one third down today. We have Cam Newton, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert.. and we couldn't convert ANY third downs?

Sorry but that is ALL coaching right there. I'm pretty sure there's guys in my Flag Football league who could pick up at least one 3rd and short situation in the NFL.

you can say that when you're 7-2, not when you have 5 other losses.

This team has never taken multiple steps forward with him. Last year they had a few wins where they beat awful teams, that isn't progress. He's a bumbling idiot who clearly doesn't know what is wrong with the team. Talk about Cam's leadership all you want, Rivera doesn't do anything to lead this team and he's the top dog. He may as well not even exist in the media's eyes.

I'm a big fan of what Bruce Arians is currently doing. I'm sure he's on JR's radar with his Steelers background.
