Interesting. This reads like something skeptics here on the huddle have been saying. But that can't be as I've been told only "haters" here think so little of his coaching prowess and of Tepper's general decision making.

Staring off into space as the game slips away at home and walking out of the stadium with a timeout in your back pocket is vintage Ron Rivera. We already let go of that guy.

At this moment I can't think of who would even possibly be worse. Last week I talked about how after all that had transpired last season and the new coaching hires that were made we should not end up being outcoached by Kevin Stefanksi who many fans dislike and then we come out flat like that at home and just fart around.

Peak derangement is perceiving that because people expect more out of a head coach who has been abused by inferior competition time and time again that must mean they are taking the side of the refs over their team.

Obviously this data is biased and hates Matt Rhule.

It's clear we will never have a quality offensive line under Matt Rhule. It's Ron Rivera all over again just playing favorites.

You can poo every post I make nobody cares you're throwing a tantrum.

He outperformed our starter for an entire half. He's a backup. You can't handle the truth stop quoting me if my posts trigger you so much Chuck.

Joined within the last two weeks and only wants to talk about haters and how Rhule isn't getting a fair shake with the fans. We definitely need another one of those trolls

Being on par with Matt Patricia in anything is peak oof.

Baker played like poo in the first half but in fairness he also doesn't play defense and that side of the ball was also lacking.

It's called mental illness. They've been going back and forth with CRA like a lunatic since last year and they are still obsessed with Joe Brady for some reason. Hope they get some help.

Looked a hell of a lot better than us for an entire half. We don't have to like it but that's what transpired and that is why we were in position to lose by a field goal. Also lol at saying people hate the team because they are tired of losing. If that's all you've got just set your phone to keep refreshing the official Panthers social pages for all sunshine and rainbows all day.

Right? This place should be one giant block party after we had less than 50 yards of total offense for an entire half and let Jacoby Brissett light us up at home.

Too little too late for me. The Charlotte Observer was quick to mock and eviscerate Cam Newton but they've used kid gloves with Rhule for too long. These articles should have been present a year ago.

Yeah because we haven't had any inept coaching through either of the last two 5 win seasons... Some of ya'll are borderline braindead.

This is an NFL team that hasn't had a winning season in five years. All the "what if" scenarios in the world aren't going to make this a winning franchise again. Only playing better football will and that begins with better coaching.

The New Orleans Saints launched a whole social media campaign to get the attention of the NFL over that no call alleged pass interference from their playoff loss to Minnesota a few years ago and nobody gave a poo. If anything they actually were ridiculed even more. We sound no better. If we show up with a proper gameplan and looking like a real NFL caliber team capable of scoring points we won't put ourselves in position for the refs to control outcomes. Play better for four quarters not two. That's on coaching.

The Seahawks are starting Geno Smith and they're up on the Broncos while the Panthers looked like a high school team for an entire half. Nice.

Of course you would awkwardly ruin the ok boomer meme by incorrectly tossing it around at millennials.

Rodgers had his team in the playoffs last year Dak had his team in the playoffs Burrow had his team in the Super Bowl while the Panthers are starting off how they finished last season. You just can't reason with some of these sycophants.

Do you ever get tired of making these excuses for a head coach with back to back 5 win seasons who lost to every head coach that was fired?

They're wrong about some right about others but it hurts to admit they are really not far off the mark about some of our key defensive players. People just struggle to remove emotion from the equation. We very desperately need leadership on this team definitely on the defense especially with Shaq banged up. It just isn't there and it shows in the defensive performances going back all through the second half of last season.

Elflein shouldn't even be here and he wouldn't have the contract he does that we are hesitant to cut bait from if not for Matt Rhule. You were one of Elf's most outspoken defenders last year anyway who tf are you kidding here buddy?
