No excuses today... we got beat

[mc52beast]

An over-matched Falcons team beat us today, they shut down the NFL'S best offense and diced up what is now a very questionable defense. If Ron and Co don't get things tightened up on defense we won't go very far when we start playing good teams.

I am not quite ready to say we are heading for a one and done but we have to tighten up.

We were in Atlanta and pride was in the way.  They took it to us.  We made Zero adjustments and just couldn't get on track.

I am sure we'll have a good week of practice and be ready for TB next week.

If Arizona loses today.  I say we play minimal starters next week.

...and that would only exaggerate in the playoffs the overall lack off effort that was on display today.

The Panthers beat themselves. The Falcons didn't do squat. The Panthers did even less.

Give credit where credit is due.  While we had some dropped passes and some poor oline play.  Atlanta came to play and they beat us.  They looked better TODAY.  As much as I hate Atlanta. They outplayed us.

more doom and gloom

How is this doom and gloom.  Stating the fact that we got outplayed does not mean the season is over and we have been exposed.  This is a good team and we just never got on track.

I am confident we'll get things fixed and go into the playoffs 15-1

Nothing wrong with crediting the team that played better today. They wanted it more, and it showed in the execution for both sides of the ball.

 

I'm hoping the loss will finally get these guys to wake up and refocus, as the past few "scares" haven't done it. If this doesn't have them focused, I don't know what will.

We're missing Bene more then we thought we would

[KendrickPanther]

I think Atlanta's effort was their highest of the season. Ours was the lowest. And not just effort in the game. Effort in preparation. We've been doing too much talking about the Giants and the Pro Bowl. We should have been talking Atlanta on Monday.

No credit is due anywhere. The Falcons played as hard as they could and still needed the Panthers to do absolutely NOTHING on offense for them to barely win the game. This was all about the Panthers sucking, and any honest Falcons fan would admit that much.

Exacty right.  "We beat ourselves" is a cop-out by limited intellects and complainers.

THE OTHER TEAM made more plays than OUR team did today, period.  Deal with it.

It would have made me feel good to punch Arthur Blank in his greasy face after that game though.

Fact: The Panthers beat themselves.

Fact: Anyone saying the Panthers didn't beat themselves is employing a defense mechanism, because if you beat yourself, then that means you could've done something about the loss...which they could've. The Panthers sleepwalked to 13 points. The Falcons gave it all they had to make it to 20. Of course the Panthers beat themselves.

Any given Sunday. 

I'm gonna blame the loss on my wife. She wore a Panthers cap during the game for the 1st time. No more of that.
