Darnold, CMC, DJ Moore If only the Panthers had a tenth of the patience they have with Rhule, Bryce, Chuba and XL

I saw the limitations of Bryce coming out of college, and over 3 seasons he has proven them all correct. I only saw one way for Bryce to succeed and that was for him to figure out how to make his scramble and accurate passing on the run to consistently be a threat. I have only seen rare flashes that will not outweigh his weaknesses. I was definitely concerned for him being knocked out of games if he were to try to get out of the pocket to extend plays with no concern for his blindside. He has shown enough awareness to calm this concern, but if he can't be consistent in extending plays with his necessary play style, then he's only a journeyman backup at the NFL level.

3-3 at Half against #1 seed = Canales win Having Bryce, Chuba and Jaycee hand 17 points to the Seahawks in the 2nd half = players loss Canales was not given the chance to coach in 4Q when it should have been a 10-10 game.

Getting rid of Bryce and Hubbard would mean abandoning all ties Tepper has to the offense. Giving the HC full control over his key players isn't a Tepper move

The 17 points spotted to Seattle in the 2nd half by a Bryce lob picked, a Chuba fumble and a Horn facemask are the coaching?

Bryce Young isn't even mentally ready to get back on the field. That body and look said it all

Horn, Young and Chuba have gifted the Seahawks 17 points in the 2nd half. What are you going to do?

Now Jaycee needs to make up for his mistake. These Panthers players didn't come to play today

Canales went to QB run/pass options and Dowdle up the middle for that drive. Back to a 1 score game. Having to make up for Bryce and Chuba spotting Seattle 14 points

Is anyone else annoyed with the lack of urgency by Bryce? He's playing like it's a rec game. The passes are soft and easy for the defense

Bryce and Chuba giving the game away. Canales is going to have to call the game to get around their weaknesses today. That will be tough with Canales having to trust them

Does Canales open up the playbook now, or continue to rely on Bryce and Chuba to manage the offense to make it a close game again?

Ugly, but if this is a FG, the Panthers won

Hubbard didn't come to play today. He's been playing weak all day

NYC going to bail out Seattle?

Toes are on the line? That's not even conclusive. Can they make their Seattle favoritism any more obvious?

Let's also remember, the Panthers could be seeing Seattle in 2 weeks, so a low scoring game of field position is in the Panthers favor.

The Panthers did win the 1st half with total game plan. You have to recognize that. Canales has control of the game from a Canales v McDonald stand point. McDonald survives on coming out fast and getting up on a team. The Seahawks aren't built to win a 12 round bout with throwing haymakers and trickery at the end of the 4Q. Even with Bryce and Chuba struggling to make decisions on the field

Bryce was reading the safety and then gave up with a weak pass to Dowdle. At least get it to him to possibly make a play. That was a jump ball to Dowdle and not a pass

Why is Bryce lobbing passes to a RB? The hang on that pass is horrible. No chance for the RB to make a play.

That was the point. Canales isn't opening up the playbook and challenging his players to win when they should win straight up. The only time the playbook was opened up was to regain field position.

NYC trying to give this to Seattle. That was blatant no review on Panthers. NYC discussing if they should review the 4th after opting to stay out of it. Obvious

This play calling is to keep the game close and put it on your players to win when they are in a down and distance they should win with basic play calling. You don't open up the playbook when you're in a 3-3 games. You rely on your QB to read a defense and audible out of bad situations. Players have to win these situations

Hubbard with some very weak running again today

Bryce is late in his decision making today
