No more injury excuses.

Doesn't this just feel like Fox is going to get a pass because of "all" the injuries we have had this season? What "injuries" are they really referring too? Kemo was a big one but we've had time to adjust, and now Leonard (who was playing well) is also out for the season which is another big blow. Chris Harris hasn't played yet which is tough but thats pretty much it. No one on offense has missed any serious game time. And no one on defense but the ones mentioned have either. I even heard Danny Crossman complaining about how the injuries have affected his personnel on SPECIAL TEAMS!!!

Normally I would be simpathetic to all this and would understandably give them a break but this team had its chance to get better and get deeper in the offseason and chose not to. Whether you wanna blaim Peppers or Hurney or Gross or Fox doesn't matter, its all bad management. We had an remarkable oppurtunity to make this team much better during the offseason. We were returning almost all our starters for crying out loud but we lost some key reserves. Reserves that are having to play in those injured spots and rookies who are having to play on special teams (and believe me, none of those guys were doing that in college).

I also would like to point out that if the Patriots can overcome Brady being injured in the first game of the season and still win 11 games then the whole injury excuse goes right out the window. Regardless of who is in there and who isn't we had a chance to improve the depth and didn't, now this FO and coaching staff will have to pay that price. Oh yeah and the fans as well. The Panthers have been outcoached and outmatched in 3 straight games, and for a team that was trying to gain respect around the league this embarrassing stretch of FO decisions doesn't look good.

No more excuses Fox, Crossman, and anyone else on that team (including players), we at the huddle want results!

Fox gets what he deserves. They had 2004 to go back and look at to remind them of what happens when you try to ride the previous seasons talent and NOT BRING IN ANYONE.

Then when players drop like flies- WATCH OUT....

Fox and Hurney are both to blame, not one FA signed, depth lacks, and we have LOST SEVEN (7) STRAIGHT GAMES

7 damn games

We were thin at DT last year.....and Carolina got lucky last season. Not only were we thin we were pretty average there to begin with. Fox doesn't get a pass when someone like Kemo goes down....he should be blamed for not addressing a weakness of last year.....probably the biggest one on defense.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
