I never really expected us to light the world on fire this season, I don’t think the rest of the fans would go crazy if we only pulled out 6 wins in Young’s rookie year as long as we showed fight in the games and made it competitive. This has been some of the most lifeless football I’ve ever seen. It makes no difference who we face, we are all shocked if we score more than 10-13 points. Bryce hasn’t had a single game over 250 passing yards has he?

I can be mad a Tepper for making horrible decisions while still being glad that we moved on from Frank. I would be more upset if he gave him 3 years just to look like he has patience to the rest of the world while we suffer through 2 more losing seasons with that type of play calling. I guarantee Tepper was pissed at how soft Frank addressed the team week after week. The team, like our former coach, shows no fight or life on the field and that is a coaching problem.

@Leaky_Faucet We have all heard about Tepper, which we can’t do anything about, but have you heard anything about the issues with Frank now that he is gone? I have to believe his stubbornness to not adapt his system to the team was one of the major issues.

If I was getting 30 million to not work, it would be hard bad mouth Tepper as well lol

If this was already posted, my apologies as I don’t see it. It makes me feel bad for the man, although he does have 30 million coming his way without having to work. Article: The Panthers fired head coach Frank Reich on Monday, making him one of the shortest-tenured head coaches in league history. But even after team owner David Tepper elected to dismiss him after just 11 games — Urban Meyer got 13 games with the Jaguars in 2021 — Reich aired no grievances in an interview with Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer. “There’s a heart-pounding disappointment in not hitting the marks that we needed to hit to keep this going and try to get it turned around,” Reich said. “It hurts me for the guys, the team, the coaches, and the fans.” Tepper fired Reich in person at Bank of America Stadium, which also serves as the Panthers’ team headquarters, on Monday morning. “I want to convey that I have nothing but positive thoughts about Mr. Tepper,” Reich said. “On a personal level, I saw a side of him that I deeply respect and care about. “But the NFL is a meritocracy. It’s not unconditional love. I understand from a professional standpoint Mr. Tepper is going to have certain standards that he expects to have met. I have no hard feelings, and my personal relationship with him was actually a real highlight of this short time.” As for if he’ll coach again, Reich told Fowler, “This is probably the final chapter of my NFL journey.” Colts owner Jim Irsay fired Reich was fired last November after 74 games as Indianapolis’ head coach. He compiled a 40-33-1 record with the AFC South franchise. Reich, who started the first Panthers game at quarterback, was then hired to lead the same franchise in January. “This ends in an extremely disappointing fashion,” Reich said. “But I will always be a Panthers fan.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/frank-reich-the-nfl-is-a-meritocracy-its-not-unconditional-love

Who can’t see what’s about to happen…..we wait until after the season to “evaluate”…..wait too long during this process and miss out on getting a jump on interviews, miss out on all the good candidates, are then forced to pick through scraps who have no other options. We hire them with a 4 year contract, they suck and we have to start another re build in 1-2 years

He should stay out of the locker room unless it a special occasion. He has no clue about a toxic work environment and him being involved in every aspect of the team is not helping, especially with everyone being aware of the fact that Rhule….i mean Frank, is on the hot seat. This season has been a complete disaster and the owner being this involved helps nothing.

I get it, Bryce looks like the wrong pick. It’s still amazing to me that we look this pathetic even compared to the horrible teams we face. This entire franchise is under performing from top to bottom.

Source: The comments in the live press conference going on now.

You would think that they could try new wide receivers, adjust the play calls etc. there really is zero excuse for the results we have had. The Giants managed to win a game yesterday with an undrafted rookie QB and even he threw for three touchdowns. Hell, you could pull out a game like when we direct snapped to Deangelo Williams the entire fugging game against Atlanta back in the day when we had Chris Weinkie in who attempted less than 5 passes, if I’m not mistaken. There are ways to win football games dispite the team’s shortcomings, we just don’t have a coaching staff capable of pulling out a win no matter what the circumstances are, good or bad.

Maybe they will feel the heat like our O line did so that they “dominate” like in the first half. We only have a few hours after these terrible game to make trash/reaction threads, so I figured I would take advantage. Make your David/Nichole terrible boss jokes/remarks here if you please……

He does not stand a chance with this offense. It’s the most predictable in the league. Zero run game, horrible O line, and a 33 year old white WR as your number one (and only) threat to make any progress on the field. Bryce has looked bad but we are in the worst position imaginable for any QB, much less a rookie.

This sh*T show of a franchise is a great example of how crazy the NFL is. Frank goes from coming back home, assembling the “all star” coaching staff, getting the number one overall pick, to fighting for a job half way through his first season with the team. It’s insane to even think about really…. this is the absolute worst case scenario that could have happened considering the circumstances.

This organization blows. I have been a die hard fan my entire life, and the last three seasons have sucked every once of joy I once felt as a fan of the team. Who cares at this point who plays. We literally have 3-4 players on the entire team that should stay, everyone else could go and would not be missed once

Here is a video with the contractor he allegedly assaulted: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8A3NhqT/ Article on the situation: Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was placed in a police car after a contractor in his neighborhood said Thomas pushed him and threatened him over where his vehicle was parked. It is unclear if Thomas was arrested. The Saints have confirmed they are aware of the incident and gathering more details. The contractor, Luis Cifuentes, told WDSU in New Orleans that on Friday at about 5:30 p.m., Thomas threw two bricks at his truck and pushed him over. Cifuentes said he is the project manager for a home being built near Thomas’s home, and that Thomas complained that the construction crew was parking their vehicles on the street. Cifuentes says Thomas made threatening comments including that Cifuentes’ car would get a “brick or a bullet” if he parked where Thomas told him not to. “He drives up, and I see him get out, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what he’s doing, I’m just worried about my job site,’ and he walks up to this big pile of sand and grabs a brick, and he throws it at my car, and the guys are like, ‘hey, man your truck, your truck!’ ‘Oh, dude, he’s actually doing something,’ so, I grab my phone and I start recording him, and he grabbed my phone and grabbed and pushed me,” Cifuentes said. Cifuentes said he’s a fan of Thomas’s and was shocked at the way Thomas acted. “I told him, I was like, ‘man, listen, I cheered for you every Sunday, I never once thought I would have an issue like this with you.’ So, now we’re here,” Cifuentes said. Thomas, whose career has been plagued by injuries for the last three years, has played in all nine games this year. He is third on the Saints in both catches (38) and receiving yards (439). There has been no indication that the incident will prevent Thomas from playing on Sunday at Minnesota. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/michael-thomas-placed-in-police-car-after-allegedly-pushing-threatening-contractor

We have been able to muster up 6 offensive points against the Bears dominating Defense

Let’s have a discussion to see if anyone remembers a game more boring than this one?

This is the worst performance I’ve seen in a looooong time and that’s saying something. We are lucky to have even scored 3 points on offense all game.

Jesus that was embarrassing to watch. With that being said, this franchise may be at the lowest point it has ever been. At least during the other “bad seasons” we had hope for the future.

I agree that Wilks would not be the answer. I think I just brought this up because of how bad our current situation is. It’s so bad that looking back on what we had from last years terrible team makes me jealous
