Fox's Worst vs Best

[bLACKpANTHER]

John Fox's record is 71-57. Good enough in the NFL for a .555 win percentage. We all know how good Fox can be:

No Team ever quit on him

when healthy- he can take a team deep into the playoffs

Fox's motto- Protect the football and grind it out to have a chance to win in the 4th

But how often does that work? What about the times Fox doesn't have a chance to win it in the 4th? When his motto doesnt play out well- just how BAD is Fox's Worst??

Heres the list of games that Fox's Panthers over the years have lost by More that 14 points.

10/20/02 at Atlanta L 0-30

11/24/02 ATLANTA L 0-41

12/15/02 at Pittsburgh L 14-30

01/06/02 NEW ENGLAND L 6-38

10/19/03 TENNESSEE L 17-37

10/03/04 ATLANTA L 10-27

10/17/04 at Philadelphia L 8-30

10/24/04 SAN DIEGO L 6-17

09/10/06 ATLANTA L 6-20

10/29/06 DALLAS L 14-35

12/17/06 PITTSBURGH L 3-37

01/22/06 at Seattle (NFC Championship Game) L 14-34

10/28/07 INDIANAPOLIS L 7-31

11/25/07 NEW ORLEANS L 6-31

12/09/07 at Jacksonville L 6-37

10/12/08 at Tampa Bay L 3-27

11/23/08 at Atlanta L 28-45

01/10/09 ARIZONA (NFC Divisional Playoffs) L 13-33

09/13/09 PHILADELPHIA L 10-38

19 losses total. Out of the 57- thats .333%

so just about 1/3 of every loss is a Bashing under Fox, some are massacres.. a game where winning or losing in the 4th Qtr is not an option- Losing is a given!

Im not trying to be a jerk, but what's the point. I mean, what are you trying to say?

[GreatPoupon]

can you now show how many games where his motto worked?

[bLACKpANTHER]

71 (wins) + 38 (close losses) = 109

because we have either won the game or been within 14 in the 4th Qtr

[GreatPoupon]

so with the team he's built it appears his philosophy has been sound... put most of your cap room into defense. build a strong running offense with a game manager at QB.

jake kinda threw a wrench in the machine this year but mostly its worked to "give us a chance to win"

[err456]

A win is a win but it can be boring football at times. However boring is better than losing.

[thejimmy]

I don't understand why running the football is boring. To me, running the ball successfully is beautiful football, and it accomplishes far more than passing.

So, 109-19 is his record for applying his philosiphy. That equals a 85% chance of it working. I'm not sure what you were trying to prove, if anything, but to me thats a really good % over a 8 year span.

17 out of 57 losses by more than 14 points = 0.298. Fewer than 3 of every 10 losses are by more than 14 points. Or 13% of all games.

[SorthNarolina]

The New England game wasn't fox's that was the last game of the 01 season. I'm pretty sure we finished the last game of 02 with a win because we helped spoil the saints playoff hopes.

[AussiePanth3r]

Yes, but next year it will be a hole new team with J-Stew and D-Wills in the back field its hardly boring as, any play can be go for a 60 yard TD with them two. And as long as Moore is at Qb next season I expect to see big plays out of Smith and whoever they bring in at No.2 .

[neverlosethefeeling]

Man...that's a hall of fame stat if .333% of games are lost by 14 or more points...that's less than 1 percent!

[top dawg]

Do me a favor, and list the games where we have won by more than 2 TDs during his tenure.
