How does a team just keep getting worse and worse?

I feel like something is in the works other than this just being a bad coaching staff. The game plans have been vanilla, the players have given up. Maybe Matt Rhule is planning to head back to college. Some good openings coming up and he clearly doesn’t have an NFL future

This defense just got run over.  They could not stop or cover anything. And the offense.....

How do these guys just keep getting worse?

The only thing about this team that seems to have improved is the kicking game.  At least they finally found a pk.

 

 

They weren’t good in the first place.

He checked out last season.  Look at some of his off season interviews, he was finished before this season started.

You have to wonder if Rhule really ever wanted to coach this team. He seemed pretty content at Baylor, had a nice house and his family was comfortable there. But Tepper threw so much money at him it’s hard to say no. I mean who could blame him? But this is what happens when you hire a guy who might never have wanted the job in the first place.

I believe at first he was excited about the opportunity. Sometime last season, I believe he realized he was in over his head. Some of his interviews in the off-season you could tell he just wasn’t in it.

Because NFL teams, good ones, do film study and they totally understand what a team is doing  and why, and if that team being filmed keeps doing the same thing overly and over again, the one thing they do well, is taken away

    • That might balance out because apparently the Texans O-line is ass. He did manage to throw for almost 300 yards the last two weeks though. 
    • Don't forget that Rhule actually took Tepper's offer to the Giants and they balked. He was just seeking the big payday which should have been a red flag. I have no idea how much time Tepper spends within the Panthers building. I do know that he in the past has been too much involved. He supposedly held weekly meetings with Reich. Then after firing Reich Tepper he held a press conference where he did virtually all the talking and made it about himself. Before that Tepper went out of his way to bloviate to the press about how he spoke to Bryce Young months before the draft and directly told him he wanted him to be a Panther. Then he went to the well of his selling point about Bryce being a point guard and we wouldn't need to invest in elite weapons. The guy thinks and talks like he knows what he's doing. At the end of the day the franchise has been in the gutter in large part due to he and his wife's involvement. It is what it is. Appreciate the convo.
    • Unlike most of you, I do not assume the FO thinks he is beyond repair.  For the first time since 2017 the Panthers have a chance to be in the playoffs. One more game will tie them for the most wins since 2018, 2 more wins will put them at 8 wins - the most in 8 years.  Hate all you want but a big part of that success has come from Bryce. He got them in the hole with Miami but he got them out of it as well and was a big part of that win. Against Dallas, he played very well throughout the game plus he converted on a 4th down in the final minutes putting them in FG range for the win. He may not have had a good game against the Packers but he did convert on two 3rd down conversions in the final minutes to help seal the win and of course the Falcons game was his best yet. Tepper likes him and they have a huge investment in him as well. You don't just throw that away unless you have something concrete lined up behind him - which I just don't see.
