Could we lose 8 in a row?

For the sake of draft position and getting rid of Rivera, I certainly hope so.

Personally I am hoping they lose out.  I have never said that as a fan.  I want Rivera gone, and a better draft pick.

[Chosen Newton]

We need to lose and get a higher draft pick. We're not gonna go far in the playoffs anyways. Think longtern

i'll be kinda surprised if we don't win 1.  not sure which one, but 1.   i'll also be surprised if we win one, so there you go.

Just based on our poo ball of a season, we’ll beat NO this week and realize that had we had a coach and a K worth a poo we could have won the division. We can literally point to a specific set of plays or  time management every loss except the Steelers.

I believe most of the players don't want to win another game. I've always rooted for us to win, but if we lose 76-0 next Monday, I won't be upset as long as Rivera is fired

 Who will lead the Panthers to their first Vince Lombardi Trophy?

Answer: After 8 seasons as HC, I'm convinced it will not be Ron Rivera.

If the final game of the year, the Saints have their playoff scheduled locked in and rest most of their starters Panthers could win a game like that.

I knew we were the greatest!

Lol we may not win until next October. If Rivera’s still in charge, make it November

Started pondering the biggest single season collapses in NFL history.  So I did couple quick google searches and this is what I came up with.

If we indeed lose out I believe this will be the single biggest collapse in NFL history.

Here is a look at some other momumental disasters for teams who started off with a winning record midway to the season only to collapse

2007 Lions:

Started 6-2 and finished 7-9. To make matters worse they went 0-16 the following season after holding onto coach Rod Marinelli for another year.

1994 Eagles:

Started 7-2 and finished 7-9. 

That’s the 2 closest I can find. So if we do indeed lose out this will be the biggest single season collapse in history of 16 game seasons that I can find.

To make matters worse the trend of Rivera losing games decided by 1 score or less continues. Over the last 4 games the average margin of defeat has been by 4 points and all 1 score or less losses.  Bringing the total on the season to 6 of 7 losses decided by 7 or less.

With Hurney as GM and Rivera as Head Coach Rivera has lost  31 games.  25 of them have been by 1 score or less. 26 of 32 if you include the playoff loss last year. 

In 4 seasons together the tandem has not won 1 playoff game. 

Rivera has made it to the post season 4 times out of 7, soon to be 8 seasons. One of those was by default when we snuck in at 7-8-1 in the 2014. Of those 4 appearances we were beat in the first playoff game twice and only advanced in the 2014 season because we got to play against the cardinals 3rd string QB Ryan Lindley.

So 8 years of Rivera and we got 3 winning seasons out of him.

 

I think of one game where we lost by more than one score.

[Sgt Schultz]

Uh, let me think.  Can we lose 8 in a row.  Hmm.

In a word, yes.  Our biggest obstacle in achieving that is the Falcons, who also are chasing infamy with 5 losses in a row, themselves.  The December 23rd matchup in Charlotte should be marketed as the Toilet Bowl.

i hope the aints blow us out worse then the steelers did

[PantherPhann89]

YES, Cam said it loud and no one listened, "Show me someone who accepts losing and I'll show you a loser". This team accepts losing because the coaching staff accepts losing. Employess do whats acceptable to their leadership. We not only need to change the culture, we need to build a new culture, a winning culture and it starts in the FO.
