An Attitude Change

Look at the Jets. Basically the same team, Favre out, Sanchez in. Other than that it is the same team. What changed? The Coach! A coach with attitude and a fire for winning at any cost. One man completely changed the team. And yet when we change our DC we look exactly the same or worse at times.

But I will say Fox did not look happy after yesterdays loss. He actually looked pissed, lips were tight and he was walking fast for him. Do you think a change will really happen or will it be the same "it is what it is" attitude? I haven't seen the post game interview yet, to know if he is pissed. Anybody have a link to it?

Someone is going to have to get angry and get to work.

At best, we look like an average team, shooting for 8-8. At worst, we look hapless. The offense is nowhere as strong as last year and the defense looks mushy.

Don't even get me started on our special teams. Let's just say that they must take the short team bus to the games.

But if this game doesn't light a fire under them, then I don't know what will.

It is on NFL.com under videos.

This week, it's "There are no cupcakes in this league."

Call me crazy but this team reminds me of the team the Bucs traded for Gruden so he could kick them in the A$$ and get them to the big dance. That's exactly what we need as we do have a lot of talent I just think Fox's message has finally stop working the players are just not responding to it anymore. Gruden could be brought in just kinda to motivate this team and just use the same O scheme and let him work on this Cover 2. Lets face it I don't think we could get much worse.

and drafting a fine QB with their first round pick...oh, wait.

This is one of the most disappointing thing I have noticed about our team. Remember a few years back when Jenkins and Peppers were jaw jacking about how our D-line was better than Tampa's? Or remember our first season when Del Rio was our DC? During those years our defense would come out and dominate....They would knock you down, spank your ass, and kick your dog as they walked away. Back then John Fox was a hungry HC that took over this team and said he wasn't taking any crap from players that don't perform. Back then we won some and lost some but at least we could see the emotion and heart in the way we played.

I remember when Fox/Del Rio was riding Deon Grants ass all week long and he responded by coming out in the Minnesota game and had 3 or 4 picks (that was in the Randy ratio days).

Somewhere along the way.....Coach Fox has become complacent and lost his edge. Our defense is supposed to beat you up - instead we find ourselves getting pummeled on Sunday. Our team looks about as inspired as a wet wash cloth and there is good old Coach Foxy, standing on the sideline, chewing his gum, and clapping his hands like a wind up monkey.

He's been here too long. It's around this point in the tenure of long-running coaches where they lose their fire and need to step away for a year or two. He needs a change of scenery and we need a new coach. I think there's only one reasonable solution to this....

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By Panther53521 · Posted

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

      Three straight first round WRs is straight up Matt Millen poo. Considering the draft capital we have tied up on Bryce after that trade we would basically have spent damn near all of our draft capital in recent years on QB and WR just to put one of the most anemic passing offenses in the league on the field. Clown show poo.
