I hate him for not starting Moore earlier, but he, the entire coaching staff, and team deserve some praise for the last 2 games. How actually thought we would comepletely dismantle both the Vikings and the Giants in back to back weeks. This is a different team with Moore at the helm, even though it wasn't Fox's call (he had no choice) , he kept this team motivated and ready to play.

Nothing, NOTHING medicore about a 41 to 9 drubbing of the playoff-hungry Giants or an amazing win against the Vikings last Sunday night.

Credit where credit is due, if only he had known what he had in Moore earlier... like maybe if Moore had started three games as a starter in a previous year and done better...

I'll always give him hell for it, but at least Moore is making the most of it. 7 TDs, 1 INT as a starter, and most importantly, 3-1. Amazing plays all around, making it work with his legs and his arm. This kid is for real.

He deserves no credit. The playcalling is not winning us games, the players are winning us games. There were still tons of questionable calls that the players willed to work and there is still the fact that Moore, the best QB on our roster, was riding the bench for the important part of the season because of mediocre play in meaningless preseason games.

The offense in particular looks good because Matt Moore looks good. He's opening up the running game because he can do something Jake could not, which is establish his arm in the first drive of the game and make the opposition defend the pass. Our offensive line is great. Our runningbacks are great. The only problem with our offense was that nobody respected our passing game for the first 11 games of the season.

With as much natural talent as we have on that side of the ball, anybody on the board could call a decent game when Stewart is gashing for 6 yards a carry. Run - Run - Pass - Run - Pass - Run - TD ..... is that really hard when you have players that execute?

The play calling IS winning us games - the entire reason Moore was so successful against the Vikes pass rush was playcalling. The designed rollouts, screens... they were all excellent. Yes, Moore is executing and not making mistakes, that's important, and Stewart is carrying the load, but you gotta give credit to these coaches.

Hate it or love, in the NFL, when the players show up ready to win, the HC gets and deserves credit. When they don't, they get scrutinized. thats the way it works. all the guessing, saying who did what, is guessing. Thats just the way it is

I love the win today. Why? Because it motivates all our players who wanted to quit at the end of this season. Who knows, ,maybe even Peppers will stay on if Moore is the QB next year. (Not saying Peppers is the the only player on this team that matters.) I think they were all ready to quit before the Moore started. My hat is off to every single player today, they were above awesome. And, they got to talk about us on the NFL Channel now because we shut down the Giants in their last game in that stadium. Wow wow wow wow....I am smitten with my Panther's tonight....I love you all. Hope my Smitty is ok!

Jesus H, some of you guys really cannot stop your b*tching. We obliterate the Gianst in their home, we crush the Vikings a week earlier, and all you can talk about is how Fox might stay in Carolina now?

I cannot for the life of me understand why you all swarm to the boards after a 41-9 victory and start pounding away on your keyboards with every thing you can think of to throw against Fox. No back to back winning seasons, he didn't win the game the players did, Kalil is speaking the company line, he would start Jake if he could, he put players on IR to help his case, b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tch. You guys try to explain away everything that happens and turn it against Fox.

STFU. Honestly. Let Richardson make the decision in the offseason. No amount of your incessant b*tching on the message boards will change his mind. Fox will stay or go, for better or for worse, but for now enjoy the win and for the love of god, STOP F*CKING B*TCHING.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
