No doubt Delhomme and Fox have brought us many unforgettable memories but the call for their demise will hit an all time high with the Huddlers. Not to be part of the Knee-Jerk reaction but I do support the end of this era.

I think that Foxie's value is taking a team that is lacking talent or direction and making them competitive. In other words I think Fox could coach the Detroit Lions and make them 8-8....but he also could take The New England Patriots and make them 8-8 just the same. This explains his inconsistency in back to back seasons.

Fox would feel trying to figure out a way to move the ball in the air utilizing match ups and quick timing patterns as simply "Satan's Football".....multiple defensive fronts, complex blitzing schemes...."Fughet about it." The complete lack of forward thinking on this staff just keeps us in the middle of the pack.

The NFL is an ever progressing league with new and innovative coaches entering the league all the time. Why do the Giants and Eagles have a Blitz package that disrupts everyone?? Do they have that much more talent of is it our scheme. I just think that as an Organization, the Fox era is done and we need to move on to another coach.

This team and city needs deserves better and needs to move forward. This team needs to get someone they will listen to and run through a wall for. Fox is not that guy. All the apologies for poor performances and lack of discipline have not garnered respect from the players.....and it shows...we will be very AVERAGE...always with Foxie. 2003 was a long time ago.

You nailed it with this comment:

Fox has his players all convinced that they are underdogs in every game and that they should always fly under the radar. That mindset is what prevents them from being elite. This team has too much talent for them to be this average. The problem isnt the talent. Its mostly coaching! This team will go NO WHERE until Jerry grows a pair and cans this idiot! Fox can only ride the 2003 season for so long.

Imagine Delhomme with a three+ turnover game against ATL next week... What does Fox do?? Is he going to replace Jake in a non injury situation or does he back his QB in a career killing season? hmmmmm....very interesting.

Jake would need to play like he did this week, every single week til about week 10 before Fox pulls him.

I agree the city and fans deserve better......I'm just not sure what yet. But, it's not going to take me long to figure it out.

I agree.......get us away from this fast. We support this team so much through the good and bad.....give us something to cheer about

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
