Losing an assistant to the Bills

(not that this is exactly a new thing)

Specifically, assistant special teams coach Heath Farwell. He'll be replacing Danny Crossman as the Bills special teams coach (PFT)

You might say that an assistant position coach doesn't really mean that much, but hey remember when all our secondary problems were traced to Jeff Imamura? :thinking:

If the Panthers do decide to replace him, there's well traveled - most recently Detroit - coach Joe Marciano (if he'd accept an assistant job). Fun fact on him: He was a coach on the USFL team that Sam Mills played for in Philadelphia.  More recently he was in Minnesota while Norv Turner was there.

There's also Ron Zook. Yes, that Ron Zook that coached the Florida Gators. He was recently an ST assistant and then ST coach in Green Bay.

And then...there's recently fired Bills ST Coach, and former Panthers ST Coach...Danny Crossman. He's not directly connected to Rivera, but who knows? Maybe McDermott would recommend him.

Wasn’t Blackburn’s fault. Gano was awful in 2016 and 2017 playoffs.

Hurney just didn’t feel like Norwell was a better keeper than Gano. Keep Norwell or sign Smith, Gano, Poe and Searcy.

Before you laugh at Norwell. I agree that his contract was way too much, but consider that his total contract was only $5m more than the other guys’ contracts. I’d rather have Norwell and Butker than the waste above. Gano, Smith and Searcy paid for Norwell’s first two years. Effing waste of money.

Now you turn a special team's discussion into complaining about contracts given out by Hurney last year including Gano (one of your favorite subjects to complain about).  Effing waste of a post.

Gano wasn't awful in the playoffs. He missed a field goal but hit a 58 yarder. It's like players can either be amazing or awful on the huddle.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
