John Fox is a Stubborn Piece of Sh*t

shh delhommey, you know it's pure coincidence that fox let off the gas at the exact time that sean payton took out the rest of his starters. :rolleyes:

This isn't just to you Jase, but in general... Seriously, that's been the problem with Fox. I don't care if the starters were in there or not, ours were. You don't change how you play the game b/c of your record, their record, playoff implications, etc. You ALWAYS play to win, and play to win emphatically IMO.

Did Andy Reid call off the dogs in Week 1 when we pulled Jake? No. They were blitzing like the game had just started in the 4th Quarter and embarrassed us, after embarrassing us. They put our team in a collective piledriver and then put their foot on our throat when we were knocked unconscious. Same with Arizona last year.

Did they tone it down b/c they felt bad for Jake??? No. So neither should we. We should've ran it up on them. When I brought up Andy Reid doing it after week 1, everyone was like,"It's football, not tiddly winks..." And crap like that. "It's what he's supposed to do" "Belichick does it, that's what makes him the best..." There's no excuse. If it was the weather, I would understand, but it wasn't that...

And to ed bell, yes, it was projection on my part. If ESPN can do it, why can't I make up a story? Seriously, I don't know what he was thinking exactly, but I do know that it had to do with protecting his image as a coach and the guy that has his fingerprints on all the personnel moves. He didn't want to start Moore earlier b/c Jake was his guy and gave us "the best chance to win."

Well, apparently he didn't.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
