John Fox Hasn't Learned A Thing

Reminisce of the Giants game

2 timeouts left, enough time

Instead of running the ball to get close as possible. He run the clock down, call a timeout and kick a long one. Then we got a false start, which set us back even more

I'm sorry I'm not with that after last week. Have enough time and timeouts, get real close... then kick. Dont let the clock go down then kick. Better chance making it when closer

But good win. Jumped out early, and they wasted a lot of energy to come back. But we have to stop letting teams back in. But it was a lot of factors to them coming back. Bye week, which means rest for starters. Cause we got a lot of injuries

I don't understand Fox. He gets a lead and sits on it. Deangelo Williams had 143 yards in the first half and hardly plays the second. You lose a 20 point lead. Same as last week. Williams has 4 TDs and doesn't play in OT and they throw 6 passes in the second half.

They win in spite of John Fox, not because of him. That conservatism with the lead makes no sense.

AMEN - He almost lost us this opportunity as well. How bout Jake on the sidelines screaming at the offensive coordinator after the conservative play call (quick pass to Moose) that ended a drive, which led to the Saints scoring run. It is for sure that Fox plays better when we are coming from behind. The man doesn't know how to keep a lead to save his life. Don't mean to complain too much though. Thankful we won! Congrads Panthers fans. We got us a home game!:party:

Yeah....except that wasn't the offensive coordinator. We won the game, we won the division. Some people simply can't appreciate anything

We all know that John Fox is a terrible coach on the field... Esp when we start 2nd half with a lead. Poor game time management, horrible decision making.

I disagree...he's an excellent coach A: when we are behind. B: when the game is close. If we get over a two touchdown lead? He's one of the worst in the NFL.

I agree 100%

    • I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place. 
    • Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.
    • So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
