The pressure is already mounting on Dave Canales, just 21 games into his Carolina Panthers tenure. The fact that his team was completely dominated in all three facets against the New England Patriots was a damming indictment on the squad's progress under his leadership.
This latest drubbing left Canales with an average loss differential of over 18 points, far and away the worst for a Panthers coach in franchise history. While it would be silly to part ways with the second-year head man so soon into his tenure, if things do not start to improve quickly, it’s only fair to expect questions.
