Dan Quinn is trash and the Falcons are staring down a rebuild. If Ryan continues to fall apart this year, they should think hard about pulling the plug. Sean Payton will be in New Orleans as long as Brees is there. The problem is their cap is hosed and the defense is turbo hosed. Brees is a God there, knows it, and keeps twisting the team's balls for more money. On top of it they don't have the ownership structure to make the hard choice and tell him no. They'll never go anywhere as long as Brees is demanding and getting 25-30 million dollars a year. He'll just slowly become less effective as the team withers around him, culminating in a huge, farewell ceremony after another impotent 5-11 season. At this point they'll have no cap space, and will just have wasted probably yet another first round pick on an aging defensive bust. Sean and Drew will meet at midfield and hug. There will be tears. Whomever is still alive in the ownership group will come out from the box and interact with the fans they'd normally not be seen in the same building as. The Panthers, fresh off a comfortable 17 point victory in their last tuneup for the post season, will politely stand by. The cameras will show Cam and Luke clapping, politely, checking the clock on the wall, knowing they have more important things to worry about. Confetti will drop from the ceiling. Drew will be handed something, probably have his name revealed along the Saints ring of honor. Deep down, Sean knows his days with the Saints are over. Maybe he'll still coach again. God, honestly he'll have to. Last time he didn't have an NFL job he almost OD'd twice on opiates, and woken up next to enough 50 year old box in Key West he'll wish he had. Denver had been calling. Maybe a joke couple of years in Atlanta. The city will erupt into a party that lasts for days. Drew will be at the head of a float, passing out coupons for 10 cents off Jimmy John's Sandwiches (no delivery). The surviving members of their Super Bowl team will be there. Recently deceased Steve Gleason and his corpse unearthed and paraded around town like the stygian slave festivals of another era. Jeremy Shockey will get too drunk to support himself on his walker. The party will rage. The National Guard will be called out, but there's no state money to pay for it. They will drop their rifles, grab the nearest under age dancer from Larry Flint's, and join the macabre celebration. After a few days, the party will burn itself out. The participants will pull themselves from the gutters, dumpsters, flop houses, and sex shops. They'll vomit up days worth of gumbo, boudin, cheap rum, and cigarettes. Several men and women will find themselves in the same bed as the corpse of a victim of ALS. As the sun rises over the French Quarter, they'll finally feel that horrible emptiness. The light only cracked through the clouds for a moment; the storm never cleared. They caught lightning in a bottle once, and even then it was only good enough for one moment. What could have been a dynasty was dashed on the rocks of bad drafting, poor free agent signings, and irresponsible cap management. Instead, all they will have to show for it is a blip in the NFL landscape. A trivia question. A momentary reprieve. Finding 20 dollars on the ground on the way to the methadone clinic, where most of them will be heading anyway. They are the Aints. They were always the Aints. They'll be so distracted by their sorrow they won't feel the rumbling. They won't see the birds flying, panicked into the sky. They'll barely react as the buildings collapse around them. The waves will rise and begin to sweep the filth away, erasing everything they did, everything they loved, everything they ever were and everything they'll ever be. Above ground graves will be cracked open, and bodies washed first inland with the surge, then out with the tide; nature correcting its worst mistake. The roads, already cracked from disrepair, will split in half. The waters will rise again, for the last time. And as they sink into Lake Ponchartrain, forced down by the cumulative weight of over a decade of dead cap space, tens of thousands of hand grenades will be defiantly hoisted into the air one last time, as a city of strippers, drug dealers, mulattoes, love children, and young republicans yell in a throaty voice "WHO DAT!"

They might be bringing him in as an outside consultant and to get a head start on the next coaching search. Panthers did the same thing with accorsi after they fired hurney.

Even that is kind of sketchy as the issues they have now are the GM's doing, not anything coach-related. The Panthers have the fifth ranked offense, and how can they blame sean mcdermott for the defense? It's just a poo poo year with bad players who went and got injured

oldskool posted:Injuries at LT, #1 CB released late in the offseason, new #1 CB cut a month into the season. Bene was not a #1 CB. The team has always viewed him as a slot corner, and he was just released by the dolphins so its safe to say he's toast. Richardson has never fired a coach during the season. There are structural problems with the way the Panthers coaching staff approaches games, specifically in the second half, Rivera is as safe as anyone in the league.

oldskool posted:Bene is not A #1 corner, I agree, but of the CBs on the roster he was THE #1 CB because the alternatives were rookies and Robert McClain. and the coaches took the rookies over him. Bradberry and McClain were the starting corners from day one, with Bene in the slot. It wasn't until Bradberry blew out his foot against the Falcons that bene got shifted outside. He was cut the game after. To the coaches credit, the DBs have stabilized. quote:The problem with their coaching approach is that there's no adjusting. The Broncos said as much in the Super Bowl, how they were shocked that the Panthers hadn't installed literally anything new, offensively or defensively. They go into each game with a plan and they don't prepare to change that plan, so if the other team figures it out & comes up with a counter, they're hosed. That's been the Panthers MO forever. I think the whole "we're going to out execute them and force our will" really resonates with the pre integration richardson mindset.

It's happening. quote:In the NFL, tumbling from a Super Bowl appearance to out of the playoffs usually requires a fall guy. The Panthers’ once-potent offense is broken, and if Shula can’t fix it soon, Rivera may be on the phone with his former boss Norv Turner come January. http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-offense-broken/ Panthers control all the local media.

There's apparently growing dissension in the panthers locker room over mike Shula and the team is just eye rolling as hard as they can over the no tie thing. Also the panthers have given up 500 yards three times this year which might be stomachabe considering the absurd injuries but with everything else... eesh
