in no particular order:

- "we could have done better"

- "we've got what we've got"

- "that happens"

When asked: Are you prepared for Peppers to receive criticism, given the big contract he has?

- "Last week, everybody wanted to blame Jake. This week everybody wants to blame Julius. I don’t that’s the answer if that’s what you’re asking me."

also on peppers performance: "Like the rest of the team, good but not quite good enough"

What John Fox says in his PC is the last thing I'm worried about. If he gets fired, it will be because he can't win, not because he isn't entertaining enough or doesn't get mad enough and throw his players under the bus to the delight of the press and angry Panther fans.

who wants him to get mad? or throw anyone under the bus a simple no comment will do if he doesn't want to talk about something, instead pops out some BS non-answer. just how simple he is.

he did a little better with this one than usual but then the bar is kind of set low b/c of who we have had to deal with for so long.

parts that were ok, imo...

ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO COUNTER TEAMS THAT GET THE FOOTBALL AWAY QUICKLY: You should be able to react to the ball fast as far as the pass route. At times we did that well and at times we didn't do it as well as we needed to. It's usually not one phase or it's not one person that wins and loses football games.

ON WHETHER THAT PLAY CHANGED THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME: That play - not really. I thought the punt after it did.

ON THE BLOCKED PUNT: We were a little slow getting rid of the ball and we didn't protect very well. Their guy beat our guy.

ON WHETHER BEING SLOW GETTING RID OF THE BALL IS A PUNTER OR SNAPPER ISSUE: It wasn't the snapper. I thought we were a little slow getting the ball away.

ON WHETHER PUNTER JASON BAKER ROTATED THE FOOTBALL MORE THAN NORMAL PRIOR TO THE PUNT BLOCK: Again, the reality is we missed the block, and that happens.

ON WHETHER SPECIAL TEAMS ARE A CONCERN: Yeah. It goes back to learning a new defense. You've got to execute. A couple of times as far as our kickoff coverage we didn't execute as well as we needed to. They were able to get it out to our 39. I think another time, to start the third quarter, out to our 41. Again, it's a combination of things - the kick, the coverage - and we didn't execute as well as they did.

ON WHETHER SPECIAL-TEAMS PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE OF HAVING SO MANY NEW PLAYERS OUT THERE: It is what it is. I'm not going to sit here and try to make excuses, but the reality is yes.

It's just a game man. He does these PC's because he has to, not because he wants to. Fox sees it as his duty to give his opponents absolutely nothing that they could possibly use against him. He has to fill the time somehow though, so he has mastered the art of coachspeak. That's all it is.

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day

      I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..

      Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
