2013 Is The Year of No Excuses

[Rubi]

I honestly feel like Gettleman needs several offseasons to put together the right pieces. This past draft and the signings we've had are steps in the right direction. I expect a 9-7 record this year followed by multiple 10+ win seasons

Great thread, hope you don't get bashed for talking football.

 

Will you please just shut up.

 

You're that whiney kid that has to make everything about them.

I know I'm not the only one on here that's tired of reading "Look out, we're gonna be a handful next year!"

No excuses Ron.  Shyt's about to get real, no more mopey heads and tummy pulls, put all your chips on the table.

There always will be excuses on here no matter what. No matter how bad the team plays, no matter how boneheaded a play call Ron makes that costs us a game, no matter how pitiful we look in the first half of the season there will always be some goofball with two brain cells to rub together to poo out a vapid, unimaginative litter of excuses.

The people are revolting.

They sure are.

It's a keyboard revolution.

But in all honesty for the OP, these "excuses" were heard under Fox as well. They got away with blaming on injuries. These excuse this year might point fingers at "inheriting". The lack of money to build a sufficient defensive backfield or adding quality starters on the OLine. Trust me, if we are not in contention come Halloween, Rivera is out the door. If we are 1-8 (which i'm not ruling out) he's out the door then, Shula will run the team the rest of the year, and we go with the Gettle-plan.

One of the most concerning things to me about Ron Rivera these past few years is all the excuse making. "Young coaching staff", "young team", "injuries", etc... At some point you just have to say "fug it" and win anyways. This year I don't want to hear you were caught off guard. Or Chud was calling plays for a head coaching job, or the players didn't get their run fits correct. We play NFL football in the Carolinas. It's time to coach and perform at an NFL level.

 

How about if a player goes down Week 1 with a 12 week injury you keep him on the roster! How many guys have we buried on the IR early in the season because we had no plans for the playoffs? To me the IR seems to be a Panthers cop out. They bloat their IR so they can point to that when the losses pile up.

 

How about we out coach some teams this year! Last year it felt like whatever decision Ron made, be it conservative or aggressive, it just went horribly wrong. Stop playing the %s formulated over the last 20 years of NFL football and start making decisions based on what you see on the field right in front of you. If you can't stop the other team from scoring it's probably not a good time to trust your defense!

 

I expect good things from this team. 9-7 or better. If the team doesn't perform the only thing I want is an admission of failure. No more excuses.

reasonable post, you're a very wise and considerate man.

There will always be excuses. And on here, excuses and blame. Can't avoid it.
