I wish the panthers were in the AFC east

It’s a crime the patriots are in that terrible division, since Cam has been here we are 7-1 vs the AFC east.

 

Every year its the same thing, the patriots get home field advantage, they play the weakest lowest seed available (after playing a wild card game) get another home game (get the refs home cooking) and waltz into the SB. Usually against an nfc team that’s been through the gauntlet

Stop whining, wish for a competent FO 

not to win the super bowl, but to win back to back seasons at least. That’s the level we’re on.

This^^^.  Just extended a HC that has failed to achieve back to back winning seasons after 7 years on the job.

Until there is ownership in place that demands a higher standard of perfomance this franchise will continue to wallow in mediocrity.

I love these excuses... pats play their schedule every year. For a few years, our division was absolutely garbage too, and we couldn't even dominate it.

 

 

When we were 15-1 people said we didn't play anybody... But we played everybody on our schedule, then when it mattered, we beat the absolute poo out of the 2 teams people said would destroy us. Every week is a challenge, you never know who is going to show up and who isn't. I'm a firm believer we should have beat the poo out of the Eagles this year, but Cam didbt show up. We almost lost to the fuging Jets, barely beat the bills because they dropped a pass at the end....... Come on. Can't give the pats poo for beating their division and then struggle against it ourselves, open your eyes

would have happen by now if we played in that pathetic division 

After seven years on the job, it is painfully obvious that Ron Rivera lacks the killer instinct and winning mentality required of a coach who aspires to achieve anything close to a Bill Belichick level of success.

Lots of talented Panthers players being held back by Ron and his unremarkable staff.

Panthers can't even beat the lowly Bears. 

Ron treated the second game against the Saints as just another game, even though it had critical playoff implications. 

Coaching staff required Cam's last second heroics to avoid losing to the division cellar dweller, Tampa Bay Bucs.  Again with playoff implications in the balance.

Bottom Line:  Ron and company are simply incapable of preparing for games at the level of Bill Belichick's coaching staff. 

Ron would find a way to lose even in the AFC East. 

To achieve the Patriot's level of greatness you have to beat the teams on your schedule and in the playoffs every year.  Ron and Company have only shown the ability to do that (at best) every other year.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
