I was wrong when I said special teams were ranked 28th. It's actually 32nd.

Football Outsiders has newly updated taking into account this past week's games and it's not pretty:

 

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst

 

To recap how we've done every year since the last time we won a playoff game:

2014: 32nd

2013: 13th

2012: 29th

2011: 32nd

2010: 22nd

2009: 29th

2008: 10th

2007: 30th

2006: 24th

 

Impressive job by Ron Rivera. Dead last in special teams rankings in 2 of the 4 seasons he's been here despite having two different special teams coordinators.

 

Please keep in mind what this clown said about Richard Rodgers as well.

This post is the most concise and accurate reason I believe Cam Newton will explore options other than Carolina come contract time. There are simply too many issues to address to even come close to making the Panthers a viable contender in the next 2-3 years.

Can't really do much but laugh at this point.

 

I know Gettleman didn't do Ron a whole lot of favors in the offseason, but you just can't keep this staff in place in 2015. They all need to go.

Wasn't Dave Toub available as a special teams coach. And we got Rodgers. Yippee.

 

 

I actually heard something about this from the inside:

 

Toub was expensive so JR wouldn't pay him. Rodgers wasn't even originally considered to even be an assistant but he was dirt cheap. That's why we have Rodgers.

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
