Coaching. Soft coaching. This is what that gets you.

Canales could call these same plays...right?

Before you blame Bryce, note that he's not the PLAY CALLER!

Another thing I love about the Panthers for 30+ years is how we make sure rookie QB's feel good.

I love how people paid obscenely to play a game can miss OBVIOUS poo like lining up offsides. Things that an elementary school kid can handle.

Yep. Coaching

Not enough! LOL. Brees had a few tough early years and we know what he turned in to. Bryce has the potential now with a good OL and a coach opening the playbook. Still iffy on the coach though, but he may also be going through growing pains. Either way, they've got us to the first playoff contention and NFC South top spot in a long time...

Still think coaching is our actual weak spot. This poo would not be allowed by a good coach.

Bryce is showing what we have the potential for. He took a bit too long, but I love what I'm seeing the past 5-6 games. Yes, there's mistakes, but he's showing the precision and game management that they saw when they drafted him as a "Drew Brees 2.0".

I've gone from 'watch every game, heart palpitating when it starts, depressed for days after a loss' to 'oh wait, the Panthers played today, let me go check to see who won...or, more likely, how bad we lost.' I hope to eventually get back to at least some portion of the previous position (less palpitations as I get older though) but it won't be for several years. I'm one of those who's never had faith in our coaching or FO. Same ol', same ol. Oh look! We started the game with a run up the middle for no gain again. Wow. As long as they keep trying to get the new, shiny object like Young they'll never be good. One injury at any position and they don't have a solid backup. I'd prefer every spot on the roster to be a 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick so when someone goes down, it truly is 'next man up' but the mentality of the NFL right now is for shiny objects.

Tackling...again. Year after year we get this shoulder hits so they can get a highlight on ESPN instead of making sure the opponent gets no further down the field. I'd bench every player that does that for the game as a message, no matter the cost. Unacceptable.

All I can say is: Congratulations Chicago on your 1st round pick.

Pathetic. See you next September.

LOFL. I'll finish the game just for laughs. Wow. I really fell for the hype. I thought we might be ok this year, not world-beaters, but not utter shyte. Damn, I was wrong.

Not since Steve Smith...

He should at least 'try' to tackle though right? Instead of trying to make an ESPN highlight. I'd sit every player that did this for 1 game, star player or not, because it's such toxic behavior.

Dalton needs to start. Full stop.

Back in the day I might say something like "this is going to be a long season". Thankfully, I don't have to do that anymore, I'll just stop watching/caring and casually check to see who we draft next year and hope we don't put absolute poo on the field next year. Oh well. This isn't looking good.

Is Cam Newton still available???

Yeah, tackling is still bad after all these years...

3 damn turnovers are going to be hard to come back from. Otherwise, we're dominating.

Pass rush is looking good so far!

Now that was a tackle! Just how it's supposed to be. No chance the Falcon player was getting around him. Didn't look "pretty" but it was EFFECTIVE.

Offense plays looking better. Falcon's committing to stopping the run so hit them with the short passes...

I hate how players only go for the "big hit" to get on ESPN instead of playing solid football and absolutely forcing a 4th down. Bring that player off the field and sit them. Unacceptable.
