Guess Fox doesn't think we need any extra practice.

A 5 day vacation for an 0-3 team???

wow.

IMO this is one of the reasons this team is lacking discipline and isn't tackling. even if u look back at training camp fox went allot easier on players than he has in the past.

we are doomed I tell you Doooommmeed

[Claws]

This is as unacceptable as passing on a 2-1 ratio......unbelievable

[panther4life]

actually the players need to clear their mind, get away from all the b.s and while their doing that fox needs to be reviewing film and try to figure out how to save his job

Maybe give them the weekend off, but they obviously need more practice to get in sync. It's not going to happen by osmosis.

lol didnt they do that all offseason?

Well, it's easy for us fans to sit here and claim that Fox needs to work them until they can't stand up anymore, but that's not always the answer, especially when you're dealing with so many injuries. And BTW, I'm sure they will still be lifting and watching film, so it's not like they're all going on vacation.

You also have to remember that they won't get another bye for the rest of the season.

You could argue that this team has been on vacation since the bye week last year, LOL.

I wouldn't suggest he work them to death, by his own admission the mistakes have been mental so I'd recommend they have a few days of blackboard time to try and clean up those mental mistakes.

Well, sometimes the best way to correct mental mistakes, is to get away from the source of your frustrations. Don't worry, when they come back, it will be 13 straight weeks of grinding it out with no breaks in between games.

This is completely unacceptable, at the very minimum the panthers should be practicing tackling for 5 days. I would like it if they also practiced 3 second passing routes and screens.

This happened last season as well, the panthers went into a

bye week and should have used the 2 weeks to get better,

and game plan for the Cardinals, but they barely practiced

during the bye week.

IMO A change in coaching is needed. Bill Parcells is

determined, and he can be a taskmaster. The panthers need

a coach like him. Someone who believes in hard work

and knows how to win.
