Why don't the Panthers seem concerned about the past two games?

I am not saying the sky is falling but the Panthers just suffered back to back blowouts. Two losses is not really a big deal but when you lose like the Panthers have it should not be overlooked. Back to back blowouts don't usually happen in the NFL unless the team truly sucks. I don't really know what excuses can even be used. The damn Vikings just put up 40 points without AP and a string of QB injuries. The damn Bucs just beat the Steelers who blew the Panthers out last week. What the hell is going on behind the scenes?

 

The offensive line is going to get Cam and any running back put behind it killed. It doesn't take an expert to realize that. There are 3 actual Tackles on the damn roster and there has been no word on bringing in any for a workout. What happens if Bell or Chandler get injured during a game?

 

Safety play has been terrible. Why has Roman Harper been used in coverage so much these past two games? What is up with Tre Boston? If he is not going to play just IR him and give a guy like Chris Clemons a look. Same goes for Charles Godfrey. If you are not going to use him because he is terrible / apparently not better then Harper just cut him and open a roster spot.

 

Coaching has to be held most accountable yet there is no mention of anyone being on the hot seat. How can Shula come out and say oops maybe I should run the ball more than 10 times per game after a blow out. Then in the next game decide to call draws on 3rd and 7 when once again being blow out. It is the NFL and he can barely figure out how to score more than 10 ppg. Why is he still playing the time of possession battle when the score is 28-7? How do you manage two 12 men on the field penalties in a single NFL game? WTF Ron. Game changing Special Teams blunders in back to back weeks c'mon man.

 

What the hell is going on right now in Panther land?

I don't know. After the Pittsburgh game I thought something was mentally off with the team and they'd fix it, but it only got worse. They seem extremely indifferent.

They are concerned, they are moving and filling in positions as we speak. We got a good case of the injury bug, (and legal bug) but we should have some player back this week like TD, and Fozzy, and hopefully Alexander. They are still working on the pass rush and run defense, hopefully the coaches know what they are doing.

my biggest problem.

 

i totally get that you can't just pass all willy-nilly, but i've never seen the inability to adjust the offensive approach according to the ebb and flow of the game the way i did against baltimore. i'm trying be conscious of my own relative ignorance in football philosophy and game management compared to professionals, but the fact that guys get fired for incompetence all the time makes it clear that there are times when fans' observations prove correct.

 

i really think teams have figured out how to beat mike shula and do it on a consistent basis, and in a copycat league he's going to freight trained by every team until he figures out how to stop it. making your entire philosophy "hold them to ten points and beat them by three" is no longer going to cut it.

I think they should run around the facility screaming

 

So tell me what happens when Bell or Chandler get injured during a game? (albeit the line would probably improve)

 

Will getting blown out by Chicago finally raise some eyebrows?

 

Obviously they are not going to have a press conference saying we are concerned about the level of suckage, but they have shown nothing that addresses any of our problems these past two games.

I think eyebrows are already raised.

At the same time we are tied for division lead so maybe a little to early to go on a firing spree and seeming panicked

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
