NFL fans and prognosticators were saying the same thing about Washington Commanders’ head coach Ron Rivera on Thursday night.

Rivera’s Commanders were humiliated by the previously winless Chicago Bears 40-20 at home on Thursday night. With the victory at FedExField, the Bears ended a 14-game losing streak dating back to last season.

Folks on social media went off on Rivera and his “Riverboat Ron” nickname because of his decision to kick a field goal instead of going for it on 4th-and-3 in the third quarter, with his team trailing by 16 points:

This dude really got the nickname “Riverboat Ron” because sneaking it on 4th & inches from the opponent’s 35 was seen as risky in 2012.

Ron Rivera handed momentum back to the Bears when he kicked the field goal.

Absurd to see your QB put everything on the line to get the first down and you just kick it when you need two yards.

Riverboat Ron isn’t a thing anymore.

Logan Thomas had to dive for the first down there because he knew Riverboat Ron Rivera would have punted on 4th and inches

I can’t stand Riverboat Ron.

He’s atrocious.
— Zach Smith (@CoachZachSmith) October 6, 2023

Now that stupid decision by Riverboat Ron to kick the FG on the last drive looks even worse. They could have scored a TD there and we could be looking at a one score game.

I never wanna hear Riverboat Ron ever again.

That ship sailed long, long time ago.

It’s Titanic Ron.

The loss, Washington’s third straight, dropped them to 2-3 on the year.
