After the Panthers fell to 1-10 with Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Titans on Sunday, team owner David Tepper vocalized his frustration with a four-letter word.
Carolina has been ineffective on offense all season, but things are not getting any better. No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young has not thrown for 200 yards in a single game since Oct. 29. He’s still yet to throw for even 250 yards in a game this season.
After Sunday’s loss, head coach Frank Reich said it’s important to “be the same person” despite the team’s poor record and results.
“What are you going to do? You’re 1-10. What, are you going to start feeling sorry for yourself? You’re going to think something will magically fix everything? No,” Reich said in his press conference, via Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer. “We lost a close football game today.
“These games are winnable. That message doesn’t fly when you’re 1-10, but I know these games are winnable. I know we have the players and the coaches to do that. So we regroup, and we get ready for this week.”
Reich added that frustration is understandable and everyone feels it.
“But the guys have been great,” Reich said. “We come in there on Mondays. Everybody’s accountable, coaches and players. We know the mode: fight to get better, it’s week-to-week.
“We got three division opponents coming up. So, it starts this week in Tampa.”
The Panthers need to start showing some improvement with the Week 13 contest or Tepper’s patience may run out sooner than later.
