Trepidation about what we will see in 2015

[Jmac]

All around the league franchises are shaking things up. If something isn't working, it needs to be changed. In fact, change is the precursor to curing many ills. This coach refuses to adjust and will sit status quo. One of the worst special teams units for years running and a limp offense that doesn't get the job done when needed. I'm sure DG will sign some FA help and do well in the draft again. Parts of this coaching staff needed to go and it will not be happening. I don't know if some new players can cure the stagnation that has seemed to set into parts of this team. Hard to be overly optimistic when nothing is improved upon as far as the coaching staff goes.

I'm not so sure on the coaching staff staying.  I believe Gettleman will bug RR so much he will get rid of some of the coaches.  Good post.

stagnation is the name of the game. shula and rogers tried real hard so let's stop being a bunch of mr. mopeyheads and give them another shot.

If our roster improves, our record will improve. But after two trips to the playoffs, we should be thinking bigger. Can this staff out coach other staffs in the playoffs? Can this roster match other rosters in the playoffs? Our highly touted defense has been undone by balanced offenses two straight years. Maybe we need to be more prolific on offense because the defense cannot keep us in these divisional games.

This is why I'm looking forward to next year. It's a win/win for Panther fans. A. We win and make playoffs like we all want. B. We lose and don't make the playoffs and Rivera and Co are all fired like we all want. Next year is a true win/win if your a Panthers fan.

Looks like the plan for 2015 is to upgrade the roster.

Gettleman has erased any doubt that he is onboard with Rivera and his staff.

Saw a lot of botched plays and missed opportunities out there this year.

An improvement in key roster talent might be enough to correct that issue.

Rivera and Shula still need to solve the riddle of the red zone and the two minute offense.

If they do next year may turn out to be a good one after all.
