A Bunch of Soulless, Emotionless Zombies

This is what I saw last night. Not the Carolina Panthers, but just a bunch of guys just walking around and going through the motions like a bunch of soulless zombies. I never saw a spark or any kind of excitement in the players even before the game. During the Anthem, I saw Cam close his eyes and take a deep breath as if he was thinking "Oh no, it's about to begin". There was no energy at all when the offense took the field for the first time...

Then we saw the very predictable play calling with DWill up the middle for no gain twice. Then the very predictable turnover. The whole night was predictable. The whole act was going exactly according to script. We all have seen this play out before. I told my coworkers even before the game began and even with Mark Sanchez at QB, "Watch our team get blown out again tonight". Low and behold that's exactly what happened. We are so predictable.

It looked to me from Cam's body language, that he knows the play calling is terrible. He knows he has a terrible o-line. He also knows there's nothing he can do about it. This front office and coaching staff has taken away his desire. He's hit just about every play and when he's not, he is paranoid about getting hit and throws bad balls and makes bad decisions. Then there is Shula. No matter if players are having a bad game or good game, he's always there. So it's kind of like why even bother? I think Cam and the rest of the team feel the same way.

This team has officially hit rock bottom. There is no better time for a firing than right now. I mean, what's the point of keeping any of them at this point? Consistency? lol. McDermott isn't the answer. Shula certainly isn't the answer. Rivera? It wouldn't bother me if he ends up fired either. I believe Shula however is the one that should've been fired weeks ago. I think not firing him has sent a message to the team that if the coaches fail you, then too bad. Deal with it because nothing is going to change. Contributing to the defeatist attitude we're all seeing from the players.

The season is gone. Cam is hurt and we are David Carring him at the moment. He just needs to go ahead and be IR'd at this point to stop anymore further damage to him physically and mentally. Jerry Richardson also needs to put his foot down. Through out 20 years, he has shown the inability to put a consistent winner on the field. However this time he does not have the luxury of sitting around and hoping for things to change. His time on this earth is limited and if he wants to even sniff a Super Bowl again, he needs to make changes now. Even if he doesn't fire Rivera, at least fire Shula. Hell i'd be fine with firing both coordinators. McDermott isn't good either.

Right now it's time for Richardson to show if he's more concerened about winning or more concerned with saving money. Things need to change. This team needs a spark because it has lost all the light and sparkle it had last season. Our coaches have reverted to the same ones we knew before their jobs were on the line. This organization also needs to send a message to it's fans that they are tired of losing and show an effort towards being something better.

'Right now it's time for Richardson to show if he's more concerned about winning or more concerned with saving money.'

 

I thought this question was answered a couple years ago with the appearance of a certain pie chart.

lol. Well that was before the lockout. Right now there is no lockout. What is he saving money for? If he wants a better team before he passes, he has to make changes now.

That roster was blown up in the lockout year just like this one was. And he has 4 other parties in the ownership group he needs to answer to as well.

 

People need to understand JR (as much as I am not a fan of his) that he is the majority owner and the other 4 parties in the ownership group are very much in step with him.

 

How does one explain proclaiming Cam Newton as the franchise QB and then empty the roster of every WR and DB on the team?

The problem last season was DG thought lightening would strike twice and it didn't. He got too arrogant and thought signing 1 year vets while trimming the roster to save money would work out like it did last season. It didn't. The coaches ended up being complacent once Rivera got extended, which was stupid btw. Things went downhill. The only thing we can hope is that DG can learn from his mistakes. It's up to JR to make sure DG does his job the right way this time.

If you going to fire one of them they all need to go because none or them haven't showed me anything this season. If it wasn't for the Chicago collapse and the win vs Detriot we will be tied with Tampa. They all need to go.

I really want this to happen. It needs to happen. It shouldn't even be a question that it should happen. But it is.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
