3rd and 15, play zone and give 15 yard cushion.

Even coaches on the sidelines were throwing up their hands like "WTF are you doing?"

You know how some dudes just enter the game and immediately that side of the ball plays worse? Well, Baker is one of those players.

Man. I lost my mom to lung cancer in April and I was absolutely BROKEN. Still am tbh. I miss her so damn much! I don't know how he continues coaching after everything's he's been through, because after I lost my mom all I could muster up was sitting in the yard chair for like 3 months. He's a good dude no doubt. Wish him nothing but the best. Life is fuggin hard.

Of all the NFL games that are played this year, this is certainly the one that will be played today.

This will definitely be one of those games where both teams step on the field.

These would have been a our next drafts if we had made the Burns trade. Looks like a good way to rebuild a team to me.

2023: 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5

2024: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6

2025: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7

Not to mention all the money that could have been used elsewhere that we are going to spend on Burns. Just an all around flub by the front office.

I'm just getting pissed off with these half assed "rebuilds". If you're going to do it, then stop being a pussy and fully commit. Trading CMC was a step in the right direction, then we hesitate on Burns and Moore? Fug that, you should have gotten compensation for anybody that wasn't a franchise QB, and since we don't have one of those, EVERYBODY should have been readily available for draft picks.

Can't wait to overpay Burns just to watch him overrun sacks and get pummeled in the running game. This franchise will never get it right, too many sorry ass people at top to turn this thing around sadly.

Classic Panthers. Buying high on players nobody wants, and not selling high on players when it presents itself. What else is new? "But, but, but, if Burns is traded, you'll see just how bad this defense is". Well look at the current score lmao

Hell, a win this week while the Falcons play the Chargers, the Bucs play the Seahawks, and the Saints play the Ravens, and we could end up right where we were last week when we play the Falcons again on Thursday lmao

Bengals fans should be mad right now… they have a poo coach hiding behind an elite qb

I've been saying that the Bengals are going to end up just like us. Almost the exact same trajectory. #1 overall QB pick. Mediocre head coach being carried because of said #1 pick. Franchise QB playing behind a sh*t o-line, taking a beating. The only difference is that Joe Burrow actually has a true #1 WR, which makes what Cam did for so long even more ridiculous. Imagine if Cam had Chase, Tee Higgins, Boyd, and Joe Mixon in his prime

The FO is idiots for not pulling the trigger. 2 firsts is more than enough compensation for a guy we will have to pay next year. 

Not to mention that I honestly think the Rams will stink next year and the year after that. So those two firsts has a high possibility that they end up being high firsts.

And then you realize that AVERAGE kicker was perfect and in the zone until DJ Moore put him in that situation of a game winning 40 yard PAT. Missed it and it shook him. DJ Moore doesn't go full on bonehead and that kicker has the PAT he has been in the zone to kick with the game winning pressure in the air. DJ broke the kicker and now that kicker is seeing the Panthers sports psychologist. Being iced by your own teammate sucks. Same way I feel for the QBs who have to bail a team out of a game winning drive on 4th and 25 because of their teammate taunting the defense or getting in a fight.

Bro stop, dude missed a 32 yarder in OT. Rattled or not, he had a chance to redeem himself and failed miserably. An NFL kicker being paid close to millions should be able to manage a fuggin 32 yard FG. Dude is just not clutch. Go look at his choke against the Chargers when he was on the Bears. He's just not clutch.

Wonder if the Bengals fan forum wants to cut McPherson right now. 

Probably not. He actually made meaningful kicks in the clutch last year and also sent his team to the superbowl with a game winning FG.

Hell just look at the few games we've played this season. It was in the damn news that the refs blew the call that cost us the game about DJ taking off his helmet. We don't even have to go back more than the LAST GAME to find a screw job. We're just hated and even at home. No home cooking. Nothing.

Exactly. Refs blew BACK TO BACK calls in that browns game week 1, and both of them just so happened to be on the Browns game winning drive. Roughing the passer BS and the fake snap spike that went uncalled for Brissett (should have been intentional grounding). Then we had yesterday with the missed false start AND blatant holding on their Byrd TD, the BS DJ Moore helmet penalty, calling us for like 8 straight penalties on the drive where PJ had to complete like 4 3rd and longs just to take the lead, etc. Happens on the regular. I'm sure next week will come down to a BS penalty against us too.

Oh god I got so angry during that game my friend was worried about me. That was easily the most angry I've ever been over any sporting event. I thought I was going to lose my voice and I have never done that since. RR lost his poop and screamed at the refs for a long time.

Like, how can Panther fans watch that game, superbowl 50, the opening game against Denver, etc. and still say it's a "conspiracy". Yes, all teams get shafted ONCE IN A WHILE because of a bad call, but this sh*t happens on the fuggin daily for us.

Hell, once the refs were announced for our superbowl, there were threads made on here worrying about Clete Blakeman and how Denver was undefeated when he reffed their games. So we already prepared ourselves for an unfair called game, and lo and behold. This is more than just getting shafted on a bad call once in a while. We seem to ALWAYS be on the wrong side of a bad call in big moments.

It was Loannidis. So I got that one wrong. My bad. Still doesn't take away from your bad idea to deal Burns. We have 2 guys on the Dline that can play. And you want to get rid of one of them. For...a chance at something...better? I am soooo glad you are not in charge.

Bro, if a team is willing to give up TWO 1st rounders for Burns you take that. 1) You don't have to overpay Burns when he isn't even a game changing DE 2) You replace him with one of the 1st rounders 3) Now you have an extra 1st rounder to further bolster your team. All can be had for a DE who constantly over runs sacks and gets folded in the run game.

2013-2014 Divisional round vs 49ers was another fug job by the refs

Holy sh*t I guess I had that blocked from my mind from anger, but everything just came rushing back. That game was utter BS. Don't even want to think about it.

It's just a franchise thing at this point:

Cam "you're too young to get that call" Newton

Cam getting speared on national television with no flags

BS roughing the passer on Jacobi Brissett to help the Browns kick the game winning FG.

Missed intentional grounding on fake spike from Brissett on same drive.

Missed false start AND holding on Falcons LT on their go ahead TD to Byrd

Cotchery caught that fuggin ball

Refs blowing the play dead when we are literally in the sequence of a tackle and fumble against Dallas last year

Calling a BS intentional grounding on Cam against the saints in the wild card when he was literally outside the pocket.

And make no mistake, there WILL be more this year and in the future. We've been getting shafted from the refs since I can remember.

The NFL has WAY too many f'n rules to begin with. Things are micromanaged into oblivion, and even then, they're often not even enforced, or if they are - improperly or utterly arbitrarily.

There's a reason for this................................Vegas. All those ticky tac rules are in place so the refs can sway a game into a certain direction to cover the spread. Pay attention next time to the vegas lines for a game, then watch how the refs ref it. The spread for our last game was 4 in favor of Falcons...................we lost by 3. There's a reason that a ticky tac 5 yard hold defensive call can result in a new fresh set of downs.

Dude has no clutch gene. He's a good kicker when's nothing's on the line. But he's shown this before.

Looks familiar huh? Short kick to win the game. Pulls it left. Dude cannot be trusted for clutch kicks. Can't wait to get Zane back.

Burns is the one that caused the bad pass that CJ INTed. But don't let me stop the hating.

lol No it wasn't. It was Matt Ioannidis. Come on now, a least get things right when you are trying to make a point.

Brown completely whiffed on a scan protection for a big sack on PJ late in the game.

Yep. Even though Chuba's hands are sus, his pass protection has been good, especially against the Bucs.

Just stop.

And think about what you just typed.

Eddy missed his *2ND* kick.

And not just any kick.....his *2nd* Game-winning kick.

Had a shot in Regulation for the Extra point......Missed it (albeit due to the refs calling an awful penalty on DJ)

Had a shot in MUCH CLOSER range in OT after a big-time Interception return?   STILL missed it.

 

You can't expect the team to win if your Kicker doesn't get it done when it matters...

...and he got a glorified do-over in OT after his first miss in regulation to right that wrong...but he still failed.

Don't get me wrong, Eddy is 95% to blame for this loss. But we STILL would have had another chance if Burns makes that play that he so often misses. I'm just calling out his constant bad angles in critical moments. But at that point, I think the morale of the team was already gone after those 2 clinching kicks....... But yeah, Eddy fugged us so hard.

Right?  Like what game were people watching lol how did so many people watch that game and come away feeling optimistic?  We gave up 37 points to the Falcons. 

Rhule football made fans forget what mediocre football looked like. Well, we are back to mediocre football and now people mistake that for good football lol We just got sh*t on by a QB who barely had 100+ passing yards per game before this week.

I will also add that I think it’s funny that we blame a kicker and refs when we had to have a 62 yard TD with 20 seconds and no timeouts left to even tie the game. Are we really going to act like that Hail Mary is a common play? We got pretty lucky to even score before DJ pulled his helmet off. Also, Woods clearly interferes with Byrd well within FG range before the end of regulation. The refs swallowed their whistle on that play. Eddie blew it, DJ won it the blew it but we had some luck and ref help to even get to overtime.

I feel like we were the better team (pick 6), but we do look through rose colored glasses and miss that we got some help as well.

Bro, the refs missed not one, but TWO blatant calls (false start and holding) on the Falcons go ahead TD to even put them in that position. Not to mention the rest of the no holding calls when the Falcons were grabbing all damn day, but then called everything in their power against us where PJ had to complete multiple 3rd and longs to even get a go ahead TD. Make no mistake, refs fugged us hard today.

It would be easier to just name the players that haven't benefited from it. 

It looks like a new team. It also points out who should've gotten more playing time early on. 

Rhule was just not cut out for this level of coaching. 

Robby Anderson, Colin Thompson, Pat Eflein
