That seems to be the attitude of the forty niners.  Hasn't worked out very well for them.

It's also the Browns method.

Didn't win it all this year? Fire somebody! That'll show em.

I've got to be honest, it wouldn't really bother me if the Falcons turned out to be the next 49ers or Browns.

Flame if u want, but I like what Atlanta is doing. Not putting up with the bullshit poo and demanding excellence. 

Show results or get the fug out.

Much like we all ignored the fact that the offense was special last season, knowing Shula was going to come out and Shula in 2016.

Not sure if anyone remembers but Smith was the Panthers LB Coach back when we had Beason.

Cox? Longtime a--hole as both a player and a coach.

Cox shouldn't be allowed to have anything to do with the NFL. Or people for that matter.

Marquand Manuel, who served as the secondary/senior defensive assistant for the past two season, was promoted to defensive coordinator to replace Richard Smith by the Falcons on Friday.

Former NFL standout Bryant Young will become the defensive line coach and Doug Mallory, who was the assistant defensive backs coach, will replace Manuel.

Jerome Henderson, who was the passing game coordinator for the defense, is now likely to leave for San Francisco since he didn’t land the defensive coordinator position.

 

 

 

 

Quote

 

Manuel, a former journeyman defensive back, has never called signals, but is highly respected by Quinn.

Manuel caused a stir at the combine last season when he asked prospect Eli Apple if “he liked men.”

 

 

 

Quote

Young, 45, was the defensive line coach at Florida in 2011-2012 when Quinn was the defensive coordinator. He also coached in college at Notre Dame and San Jose State, but doesn’t have any NFL coaching experience.

Disagree.

While it is true the Falcons' D was on the field way too long, the size advantage eventually played a factor after the Falcons got tired. Their DEs and LBs got swallowed up by New England's mediocre OL.

Nonsense, it's not a disagreeable position unless you love ignoring facts.

The Atlanta offense ran 46 plays....that's 18 less plays than the NFL average and NE ran 93 plays.

ATL scored 28 points 1 was a pick 6 the other was after a Blount fumble. So the defense lead to half the points they scored...and literally did score 25% of their points. Not on the D.

For all of those that screamed for blood after we lost our Superb Owl last year, here's a good opportunity to see what happens when you get your wish.

This won't be pretty if you're a Falcons fan. It should be pretty fun for the rest of us, though.

Yea we already know what happens when you don't.

Then again the Ravens and Broncos show us what happens when you DO.

Third in a row don't give a squirt.

Doesn't even matter if it doesn't work out...who the fug are you anyway...Panther fan? like what? we got something to say about sitting pat with dead beat coaches....lol. 

We DO know that Shula can't/won't get it done...we have no idea if the new Falcons coaches will be any good or not. 

Other teams seem to actually mean it when they say they evaluate and try to improve each position...Panthers not so much...there were HC upgrades before Rivera made the SB and the team never and would never even maybe possibly consider a move. Nevermind that there are and have always been OC upgrades since the day the ink dried on that things contract.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
