The Official Line Up And Kiss Ron Rivera's Ass Thread

You've been talking shit about Shula all season, including last week. Why are you here? People laugh at you, you constantly embarrass yourself, and you talk shit about TBR.

 

Collin, shut the fuck up already. Seriously....you're a pussy, a liar, and you're worst of all, a coward who uses other people as a safety blanket.

You're a coward, Collin. You're deathly scared of me.

 

I like to think the reason for the wins has been my increased participation in gameday chats.

 

It worked for Drayton Florence.

 

We're better in time of possession, thus helping the defense. We're much better on third down conversion rate, which is helped by running more consistently throughout the games, and with the shorter passes.

These things have helped us with our record.

THere is no doubt that there are things we can do a hell of a lot better, but we're still a very diverse offense. We hold onto the ball, and we move it, and we score.

The biggest thing we lost with Chud leaving was the amount of splash plays.

Will Shula ever be Chud? No. But for better or worse, the changes alone with a vastly improved defense are equating to wins.

 

Idiotic? False? Lol. You're stubborn, I get it. And can't stand for people to disagree with you. It might be time to see someone about your blood pressure or anger management issues.

Obviously better defense and special teams have a ton to do with our record. I'm not pretending that the offense is the reason for 7-3, though they have had their good moments too. I never said the offense was great. Why would I?

I admit to being amused at your holding on to your Chud stance so doggedly, in the face of what's out there from people who were in the room, on the field, etc. Ignore them and hold on to your numbers, it's who you are.

 

Yes, like claiming the offensive line this season with Kalil was somehow worse than last season with Hangartner, pretending that DeAngelo was somehow responsible for the huge drop in yards per play this season, acting like players defending the guy on the team over the guy who left the team somehow means more than the actual performance, etc.

That's exactly what you did when you said "Numbers are just numbers sometimes. Ask the players if they'd rather have stats or wins." The Panthers aren't dominating time of possession because of the offense, but rather because of the defense. Carolina has fallen from 7th and 12th in yards under Chudinzski to 22nd this season under Shula. If Carolina still had an offense like the previous two seasons to go with this defense then the Panthers would be in the running for the #1 seed. Unfortunately while the defense has gotten better, the offense has gotten worse.

They liked Hurney too. You know that I'm almost always right, and you know that I have the statistics to back up what I'm saying on this. Swallow your pride and let it go.

 

I'm on team Rivera... for now. He's proven to me I was wrong to fire him early on, we could do much worse. This is exciting to watch this season unfold. He's got these guys playing with a huge amount of confidence right now, and we all know winning breeds confidence.

But... he's only approaching a .500 winning record as a head coach overall, so he has a ways to go

 

Six games is plenty of time to fuck things up, but I'm pretty sure none of us expected to be 7-3.

 

nope... especially after a 1-3 start
