John Fox Era Playoff Teams...

Something to think about this weekend, in the John Fox era we have had three playoff teams and each of those teams was involved in a season opener that came down to the last play of the game. In 2003, Jake came off the bench to rally the team to a victory with a last second TD pass to Ricky Proehl. In 2005, the Saints booted a field goal in the final seconds to beat the Panthers at home. And in 2008 the Panthers pulled off a shocker on the last play with Jake hitting Dante Rosario for the TD against the Chargers.

Maybe we should be rooting for a close game rather than a blowout.

close games are awesome after we win them, but they're absolute murder while they're being played. i almost died during the game vs. green bay last year.

i am a fan of absolutely steamrolling opponents. :D

this. We had a close one against Chicago, either last year or two years ago, early in the season. I actually caused property damage during that one.

FYI, that's how you know you're really a fan of a team; you break a table with your fist because you're losing.

Memories: 2003. We had some fire boys, we had some fire. I miss Bill Rosinski

Oh yeah!!! I miss Bill too, there were times where I would listen to games on the radio and mute the TV. Now not so much. He is one of the best in the business.

I watched a Dwill and Jstew video while I was on Youtube just now. I completely forgot all the offseason drama and all my questions about the Panthers. I watch that vid, and I'm reminded of how DOMINANT the Panthers are going to be this year!

...on offense at least

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
