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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
