John Fox is too soft.

Is it just me or is John Fox too soft. He doesn't have the killer instinct needed to win super bowls. Once again we watch the Panthers jump out into a big lead and Fox shuts down the offense and watches the defense give the game away. Last week I watched the Patriots destroy the Cardinals in a near Blizzard. Despite the 40 point lead and heavy snow fall, Belichick was still throwing the ball deep downfield with a first year QB. He didn't have Cassell hand it off 3 times and punt and give Werner a chance to come back, he buried them until they rolled over and gave up. I guess that's why one guy has 3 rings while the other guy has none. Sure the Panthers are headed to the Playoffs this year but unless Fox changes his philosophy of settling for field goals and sitting on big leads, I can't see them winning it all.

He shut down the offense against the Giants in the second half also. I can't remember Steve Smith touching the ball after half time. Is Jake that bad that Fox won't let him throw the ball when the Panthers have a lead? Too afraid of an interception?

I wouldn't say soft..........but too conservative.......

Here is the deal......

We now have an offense that is running on all eight cylinders even with the O line issues on health....

So we have jumped out into a big lead in the last two games then.....and then like so many defensive minded conservative coaches do.....

.......we start playing not to lose the game......rather than playing to win the game.......with our offensive strategy.

So we go a number of 3 and out possesions and lo and behold the defense starts spending too much time on the field and they get worn out.........

Did you see the swiss cheese defense we had by overtime in the NY game?...........like late in the SB of 2004..........

If our offense game plan continues through the game like it starts out then we own the time of possession.......the defense can stay strong if the offensive is given the plays to execute all game.........

Ohhhh we do need to do something about a few positions in our secondary on defense.................it can be trouble with a passing QB.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
