Finishing strong

Earlier in the season, I remember saying "well at least we're good enough to beat bad teams".

Turns out we weren't.

We lost to the Giants backups. That is pretty much all that needs to be said on the subject.

We've lost like 5-6 games to really bad teams. We'd be entrenched in the playoffs if this were true, even if we weren't a real contender and couldn't beat good teams. Such a waste of a season

Sad that we only won 5 games with one of the easiest schedules. Just goes to show how terrible Rhule is.

I'm never the type to root for my team to lose, but if losing the rest of our games gets Rhule fired, then so be it.

It's not just that we're bad, or that the teams we beat were that bad. It's the lies that it created along the way. That #2 defense rating? We give up very little passing yardage, because either your team is terrible and can't protect their QB, or you have a good team and you just run right over us in the rushing game. Not building up many yards against us? Hard to when we give you an average starting spot around your 43 yard line. 

The wins that made Sam Darnold look great also made our defense look like the best since the '85 Bears. 

This year, we beat the wounded and the witless, sometimes the wounded witless when we got lucky. This team was worse than last years and much worse than the year before's, we just got a very favorable schedule when it came to playing some teams that were just falling apart. Had we just faced the Jags and the Lions, we'd be deep in the playoff hunt right now.

And that's some crazy poo right there.

LOSE OUT!!!

Can you imagine if 5-12 is the final record and Rhule is still around one week after the seasons end? This place will be fun...

I've never seen a derailment like this in all of my life.

Panthers could line up against East Mecklenburg High School and still struggle 

Hey!  Don't be dissing my alma mater that way!

The East Meck Eagles would destroy Matt Rhule's Panthers!

[SmokinwithWilly]

I would love to finish this season with a strong, bold statement that proves we want to build a winning franchise. 

Tepper knows what he has to do.

Lost is a generous term. We got destroyed by the Giants.

Before the season, how many would have predicted we’d lose to NE, Miami and the Giants by a combined 63 points?

Yeah, Rhule's termination shouldn't even be a debate in Tepper's mind at this point.

Only a question of when to drop the axe.

They want have to tank. They will get their asses handed to them while trying to win.

This is exactly where I am too, sadly 

and I hope he looks utterly lost doing it 

I hate to feel that way for the players and the fans

I feel like we’ve become…
