It's put up or shut up time for the Carolina Panthers. Starting the season 1-3 isn't what head coach Dave Canales had in mind. If that becomes 1-4 against the Miami Dolphins, that leaves them facing yet another lost campaign.
Canales is coming under increasing fire. He's feeling the strain, and the Panthers aren't progressing effectively enough after the coach's bullish projections before the start of competition. Unless things turn around soon, it's not hard to see why his seat will get increasingly warm.
A considerable effort is needed.
