Raheem Morris expressed his disappointment after the Falcons’ 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers, emphasizing the shock at his team's defensive performance, stating, "I was shocked...defense just didn't show up." He noted the importance of evaluating everything in the program following the defeat, indicating potential changes could be imminent.
Following the loss, Morris was adamant about an evaluation of the coaching staff and players, saying, "We've got to evaluate all of our coaches...from a whole program standpoint, and we will do those things. That's what starts today." This statement underscores the seriousness of the situation after another season without playoff contention.
The Falcons' struggles were highlighted by their defense's lackluster performance, where they ranked 23rd in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing 24.9 points per game. Morris's dissatisfaction with defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake's handling of the team was evident as he refrained from providing any support for him amidst the coaching changes.
