Ron Rivera

I was a huge fan of this hire and I kept giving him excuses but now it's time for him to go.

1. The team is not getting better in the W/L Column where it matters most.
2. He's never energetic, all he does is stand there all game with no emotions.
3. He's supposed to be a defensive coach and he's NEVER had a good defense here.
4. He says the same shit every week "well we are growing and learning" LMAO Learning how to suck.
5. He has done NOTHING to help the holes our defense has had over the last few years especially at LB a position he played!!

The whole staff is garbage and the fact that the social media team celebrates a catch from Terry when losing 24-0 speaks volumes about where this team is.

I'm over these clowns and franchise. I legit don't care anymore and I'd be 100% done if it wasn't for this forum.

It's really hard to argue any of your points. I want to, but damn...you're not wrong. I really liked the hire when it happened too. However, three games into his third season, and they just might be worse than last year. I'll keep hoping they turn it around, but my magic 8-ball says that the signs are pointing to no.

We are definitely going the wrong direction.

Rivera is a dinosaur, time to make his ass extinct in Washington. Unfortunately no way it happens until maybe the last game or 2 of the season, at earliest.

Of all the things to complain about, I think this challenge flag thing is absolutely the dumbest thing to complain about.

Anyways, yes... let's turn on Ron Rivera, because we definitely have a better option at this point after game 3.

I agree. We're 1-2. If we make a change, who takes over? Why does it make us better? Is it just to get rid of RR for his leadership? I don't deny I am not happy with RR's coaching but unless there is a pragmatic reason i.e. the coaching staff has lost the locker room, we have a known young talent we want to promote from within I think we just have to ride the ship for the time being.

They ran a shovel pass yesterday at the start of the 4th quarter, on 4th and goal. The next play was when Wash got the safety.

I have no problem with the shovel in general. The Ravens run it quite efficiently but it helps when you have Lamar and Mark Andrews

Rivera the GM absolutely failed Rivera the HC. And he isn't a good HC, so he needed all the help he could get.

That is probably where I have the biggest issue. He shouldn't be GN.

He should absolutely not be both. But I think that's always true. That is 2 separate jobs that should be done by 2 separate people.

LOL, I'm not excusing their losing... I'm just not putting it on that play.

It is easy to criticize a play like that sitting on your couch. Timeouts are valuable, and you don't just throw the challenge flag every time you think a pass might be incomplete. He was like a second late, after Philly hurried up to snap the ball. Sometimes the Head coaches don't get the communication fast enough to know that the flag should be thrown. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is.

Yes, that was a very impactful play - may have even been a turning point. But that isn't why they lost the game. They lost the game because the offensive line got man-handled, and no adjustments were made to account for that until it was too late.


Eagles hurried up because they knew. So they were able to see the replay and run a play but Ron wasn’t able to throw a flag?
It was 0-0 at that point so timeout schmimeout.

Anyway no there is nobody to replace him now. We will suffer through another year. After which I really hope we give some coordinator a shot. Maybe Bieniemy? Idk. But a change is necessary.

100 percent. Well said SD.

I have no clue if canning him now, or in a 3 or 4 weeks, is a good option or not. But I have lost all faith I had in him.
I was the first to say how blatantly stupid it was to not address the LB position and CB depth... But even with that, this roster is too talented to be playing as bad as it is.
That's coaching. That's scheme. That's play calling. That's preparation. And yes, that is leadership (or lack of) and getting the guys to buy into (or don't) what they doing, believe (or don't) in this team's way of doing things, and getting fired up (or not giving a single F) about going to war together for this coach.

I don't really care wether it's now, in 3 weeks, or at the end of the season, cuz I don't have a better solution, I think this is a lost season already, but I will have a hard time withstanding another year of RR.

Year 3 was supposed to show improvement and we're regressing in every phase of the game.
