I wish the panthers were in the AFC east

It’s a crime the patriots are in that terrible division, since Cam has been here we are 7-1 vs the AFC east.

 

Every year its the same thing, the patriots get home field advantage, they play the weakest lowest seed available (after playing a wild card game) get another home game (get the refs home cooking) and waltz into the SB. Usually against an nfc team that’s been through the gauntlet

Stop whining, wish for a competent FO 

not to win the super bowl, but to win back to back seasons at least. That’s the level we’re on.

This^^^.  Just extended a HC that has failed to achieve back to back winning seasons after 7 years on the job.

Until there is ownership in place that demands a higher standard of perfomance this franchise will continue to wallow in mediocrity.

I love these excuses... pats play their schedule every year. For a few years, our division was absolutely garbage too, and we couldn't even dominate it.

 

 

When we were 15-1 people said we didn't play anybody... But we played everybody on our schedule, then when it mattered, we beat the absolute poo out of the 2 teams people said would destroy us. Every week is a challenge, you never know who is going to show up and who isn't. I'm a firm believer we should have beat the poo out of the Eagles this year, but Cam didbt show up. We almost lost to the fuging Jets, barely beat the bills because they dropped a pass at the end....... Come on. Can't give the pats poo for beating their division and then struggle against it ourselves, open your eyes

would have happen by now if we played in that pathetic division 

After seven years on the job, it is painfully obvious that Ron Rivera lacks the killer instinct and winning mentality required of a coach who aspires to achieve anything close to a Bill Belichick level of success.

Lots of talented Panthers players being held back by Ron and his unremarkable staff.

Panthers can't even beat the lowly Bears. 

Ron treated the second game against the Saints as just another game, even though it had critical playoff implications. 

Coaching staff required Cam's last second heroics to avoid losing to the division cellar dweller, Tampa Bay Bucs.  Again with playoff implications in the balance.

Bottom Line:  Ron and company are simply incapable of preparing for games at the level of Bill Belichick's coaching staff. 

Ron would find a way to lose even in the AFC East. 

To achieve the Patriot's level of greatness you have to beat the teams on your schedule and in the playoffs every year.  Ron and Company have only shown the ability to do that (at best) every other year.

    • Yeah, Dave doesn't seem like a "muh scheme" type of coach where he wants plays drawn up for his QB to robotically go through a preprogrammed process. He seems like more the type of coach that just wants his scheme to produce opportunities for a QB to be a playmaker. It's a scheme you'd love to play in as a QB and it's the type of scheme that should work really well for the "point guard mentality" QB they tried to sell us on Bryce being and the type of QB he was at Alabama but at the NFL level all of those physical shortcomings that seemed plainly evident to many of us on the college field are showing up in a big way. Even with his bad decisions I honestly think a lot of it is that he's struggling to see the field. I don't mean that figuratively in that he's misreading the defense or missing open receivers, I mean that literally in that I think he's struggling to see the field over the lines of 6'4"+ huge men in front of him. Reich used to talk about creating throwing lanes for Bryce to see through and holy poo... if you need throwing lanes now you've massively shrunk your opportunities. Now you're trying to play QB through a picket fence. If you watched him play at Bama, you saw him routinely drop back 10-15 yards behind the LOS to gain depth so that he could see over the scrum. You just can't do that routinely in the NFL. NFL pass rushers are just too good. Your OTs can't create that deep of a pocket.
    • This could be a breakout game for Kyle Pitts. I'm hoping for a miracle just so we have something to talk about besides the team sucking poo.
    • I don't remember a 2018 tear down. I remember the failed 2019 failed build up of the 3-4 switch which is still stuck in the 'working on the foundation' stage. I thought 2020 was closer to that but really it was just an idiot behind the wheel doing what idiots do. Poor drafting and free agents is the main problem IMO. This team hits so little on talent it's actually amazing they don't stumble over more just by accident.   I still don't think there is anything to tear down. Just a ton of easy to dump people that should happen. It's a bottom of the roster churn that reaches 2/3s the way up this roster.
