Yup Yup IT's the coach. The team is a reflection (always is) of their coach on Game day.

To that Poster that commented on RG3 and the GB game: Yeah, GB fumbled on the goal line, otherwise they would be down 31-0 (if they aren't already). I wonder if RGKnee will pad his stats when he's down 30+ and celebrate. I guarantee you guys, that they won't take him out the game. This is what happens, when you keep a non pocket QB in the pocket (RG3. Though I can't say the Panthers offense is doing much better. Panthers better light it up, and learn from the quick routes--late in the 1st half. Just mix up the passes and routes Shula, between quick, intermediate and long, with some runs to keep them honest.

Yup

Buff has poor secondary. Gotta take what the defense gives (minus the sucky OL).

OK, good Panthers. Now shake off the first half, and let's play like this the rest of the Game (quicker routes).

TO Ron Ron

Why weren't the panther running this type of offense all game (quicker passes)?

Fire Rivera, Hire Hue Jackson DG! Please

I hope Ron is not trying to "run out the half"? SMH

Fire Ron Rivera today please, then hire Hue Jackson as Head Coach, and/or Offensive Coordinator.

He never went near the sideline. Horrible challenge, and so reminiscent of Ron Rivera

How did they let EJ make and complete that pass?? Unforgiveable! SMH

Panther need quicker passing routes, mixed up with the deeper ones. OL can't block. So they need to trick or mis direct the defense. Oh. And Rivera needs to go!!

That was a catch-able by Ginn. You got to leap or stretch for that ball. It almost fell right though his hands, with seperation from the defender. SMH

I never said "meaningless". You said that. I said "overall good statistics". But for some reason, the Panther D can never hold a team in the second half when they need to. That was my point. It's more ironic, interesting, than anything. On the converse, I've seen sucky defenses like Indiana's last year, who will play a porous, unimpressive game to be sure. However, once the Colts got the lead late, they were able to secure it for the win.

Agreed. The Panther D under Rivera, has an annoying habit of having overall good statistics, while they (usually the secondary) can't hold teams when they need to, sealing the win. It can be very annoying. I think this is because Rivera and his coaches, doesn't know how to make proper 2nd half adjustments.

The defense usually scores a healthy portion of that 30 pts a game (if that avg is even true). Seattle is a run first, slog it out team; not a high scoring one.

Rivera always coaches like his defense can keep the opposition scoreless the rest of the game, and like their offense won't adjust to what he's going. And then he always get burnt the longer the game ensues, cause he can't stop what the opposition is doing. A waste

That's true. Seattle ran that roll out/bootleg all game, and the Panthers couldn't stop it. And the secondary was garbage, allowing scrub receivers to make circus catches in a crowd over or around them.

Panthers making the sucky Seattle road show look good. And giving Russell Wilson his first 300 yd NFL game. And I would say, half of those yards were on Circus catches by his receivers over the secondary.

Panthers D cannot stop that Wilson Roll out. And their secondary can't stop anything.

The Great Panthers D has allowed Russell Wilson his first 300 YD passing game. And I'd say about 150 of those are from their playmaking Wide Receivers, who the Panthers just don't really have.

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew something bad was going to happen eventually. Rivera puts too much trust in his defense, once again. SMH
