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.

      It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit

      T-Mac or Nalo

      T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
