Look, you never want to feel good after a loss. Especially like the one the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered on Sunday.
But the latest news involving the dumpster fire that is the Carolina Panthers will put a smile on the faces of Bucs fans everywhere.
The Panthers are currently 1-4 entering their Week 6 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams and owner David Tepper fired former head coach Matt Rhule earlier in the week.
In other words: things are just peachy in Charlotte.
But in all seriousness, teams usually find a way to galvanize -for the short-term, if anything- around an interim/new head coach after the predecessor's departure.
That obviously isn't the case with interim head coach Steve Wilkes and veteran wideout Robbie Anderson. According to ESPN's Field Yates, Wilkes kicked Anderson out of Sunday's matchup because he kept arguing with coaches on the sideline.
As you can see below, Anderson is told to go to the locker room and can be seen yelling back at what is assumed to be Wilkes:
The Panthers were up, 10-7, early in the game, but now trail, 24-10, with a little more than four minutes left in the third quarter.
You have to feel bad for Wilkes. The guy never really got a fair swing in Arizona and now he has to deal with the disaster Rhule left behind.
It just goes to show that no matter how bad things may be, they can always get a lot worse in the NFL.
Even if your team did just lose to Mitch Trubisky after coming into the game as 10-point favorites.
Oh, and the Buccaneers play the Panthers in Week 7. Meaning, they'll get an front row seat to the crazy show.
