There are a few of us who can see the obvious truth.

Criminal negligence that many coaches would be fired for. Rico/Hubbard would have greatly swung the chance of winning squarely in our favor and he still chose to ride with the injured noodle armed kid. This one hurt, bad.

This one really pissed me off. Panthers SHOULD have won by 2 scores. Had they not pissed this and the Saints games away, they’re 8 and 4 and squarely in first place in the south. Sour grapes and all but this was BS.

Half of the starters are legit good NFL talent. Tet, Coker, Ickey, Hubbard, Rico, Moton, Hunt, Lewis, Brown, JC Horn, Moehrig. Definitely still lacking in places and no where what I would call a good roster, but it has trended in a positive direction. Bridge is the only consolation I can give myself to cope with this gross coaching negligence in every aspect. There are/were so many better options that weren’t welcome here (Harbaugh/Payton) or never were going to be a part of this ish show (Ben, Shane, etc).

I think the team circumstances are different than when Canales was hired. The roster was almost completely void of legit nfl talent AND nobody was going to want anything to do with Bryce. The season went exactly as it was supposed to. It’s different now. Half of the starters are actual legit good nfl players who would start on most other rosters. Good o line. Great RBs and stud WR1. Rapidly improving defense. The team is a couple offseasons away and a journeyman QB away from being very competitive. Moreover, you can rack up a lot more wins in the NFC South than any other division in football so it’s an easier road to the playoffs. You’ve got to fade Tepper, but with the talent infusion, the job is a lot more attractive of HC candidates. At this point I see Canales as a bridge coach who has basically been nothing more than a placeholder to fall on his pocket knife for BY. There is no way on God’s green earth anyone in the locker room respects him after that BS on Monday night. The only apprehension I have with wanting him gone is starting yet another coaching cycle change, but it is different this time around.

Exactly this. Either by mandate or his own doing, Canales’ job is not trying to win football games, it’s trying to make Bryce look competent, but the 2 are mutually exclusive. One is very doable, the other is completely impossible. I refuse to give him the out that he is just that dumb because nobody is that dumb. I also refuse to believe that Rico didn’t approach him on the sidelines to voice his frustrations, which if so, obviously didn’t get him anywhere.

His play calling on Monday would get most coaches fired. Panthers could have won by 2 scores by just doing the obvious. It’s so perplexing that one has no choice but to consider nefarious intentions. He wants to be seen as a play calling savant and I honestly believe that he loathes running the ball successfully.

I could see a situation where a player has made enough $ to be comfortable, gets a few concussions and begins to realize he’s growing more and more forgetful and that his personality has changed/worsening depression. It’s just not worth playing any more at that point, regardless of how badly they want to hoist a lombardy trophy one day… and you as a fan can’t be upset with that.

Agreed.

He’s not wrong. It is a bleed until proven otherwise. When they mentioned that dude was puking… that’s worrisome

lol! I was thinking the same thing.

Coker

I have zero faith in this staff to develop a QB via the draft. The team would be far better served with signing a mid tier FA QB who fits the typical mold of what a QB is supposed to be.

This exactly. Throwing on first and 1 at the goal line told me EVERYTHING. No serious coach trying to win the game makes that call. Not even if it was Brady to megatron. He wanted to show the world how he was able to make BY a successful NFL qb. He made last night about himself.

This team is winning due to the massive talent infusion Dan and Co have been able to orchestrate in a very short period of time. Fox and Rivera had their faults, but never did their teams look this completely lost and unfocused this frequently. Where is the hurry up in the hurry up offense? Where is the cohesion? Clock management. This is the most basic of basic stuff. Dude chased points tonight when there was zero to benefit. clueless. The winning strategy was to limit SF’s possessions. That’s it. Keep CMC and Kittle off the field. The defense gifted him 3 interceptions in the first HALF. Dave instead goes full retard and tries to feature injured ankle Bryce’s patented air raid attack. First and goal at the 1. Chuba looks healthy. Rico is Rico. He calls a pass. This is completely unforgivable malpractice and almost feels like he owed a bookie a lot of money. It’s easy to say BY is holding the team back, and he most certainly is, but Canales is the far bigger issue. This team will never beat the big dogs in the playoffs with that clown calling plays.

Then 1 and done in the playoffs. Canales ain’t out coaching anybody.

Rhetorical question: Does anybody see Canales being significantly more successful even with a better QB? I mean, they’ll win a few more games here and there, but he will never be able to out coach any of the better organizations. Shanny knew everything that was coming and how to play it.

Moehrig should have saved that punch for Canales.

So let’s see. Defense came ready to play and the offense looks completely lost, unprepared and thoroughly out coached. Sounds about right. I just don’t know. Canales has to go, but who does the team get that would be an upgrade? Losses like this are just sickening. Decimated defense still kept them in it. 3 picks and still get smoked.

Shanny has to be laughing himself to death. Canales, you are way out of your league tonight. Shanny has known every play coming tonight.

So damn bad. why chase points, Dave?

Bryce is sucking, but the play calling is buttcheeks.

Brutal

And they’re looking better than I thought they’d be… for now.

Time to settle in Bryce. Good decisions before that one.
