Chill your sacks

[arbnranger]

A loss is an opportunity to learn and it couldn't have come at a better time . 16-0 is over. Get over it 

Next week we come home with possibly home field advantage on the line. Stomp that ass with a new attitude and perspective going into the playoffs. Couldn't be happier with a loss at exactly the right time. With a bye week to look forward to. 

Dont fear, don't let lose your cahones. It's the perfect script for a Superb owl season. 

Who's scared? Who's with me?

We didn't learn much from our close wins.  You're telling me we have to lose first to start learning?

Today is over, we are gonna tighten our chin straps and kick some ass.

This loss will be the defining moment that turns things around and gets the big prize.  I am in this and will #KEEPPOUNDING.  ATL was the hungrier team today and all things including momentum stayed their way.  The Panthers got this, will make sure that this is not a game that defines them.  #KEEPPOUNDING AND I AM ALL IN!!!

Yup that's why I thought this team was different and didn't need a loss to learn but...clearly they didn't take the close calls seriously and I haven't seen a Panther team that checked out since the 1-15 season....everyone looked dejected it was sad honestly...something is definitely up that's why I think the whole coaching/FO reaction to the stupid OBJ thing got our guys like "wtf"

As in...they didn't really have our guys back...Rivera apologizing and poo..not really sticking up for Norman I think everyone is finally like "well poo when someone happens they gonna turn on me too". Rivera seriously has got to stop acting like a bitch.

The pass rush has to be fixed.  You are not going to win games against Arizona, Seattle, or Green Bay dropping into that zone with no pressure from anyone not named KK.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think we have been exposed 3 of the last 4 weeks. Rivera has always been slow to react when changes are needed and I don't see it being any different this year.

Yes. Close win and a loss are two different things all together. Feel that sting.

Chill brother Fox. 15 games is a long dam season. There is a reason why only 2 have been undefeated. Next week is a new game and the playoffs is/are a new season.

Agree. A win against TB And a bye week will give the guys much needed rest.

Honestly, I like it because it removes the mind game in Ron's head as to who to play next week. 16-0 isn't this team's goal. Being the best team on the field each week is: this week, they weren't. Doesn't mean they're not a great team. We'll find out what they're about next week and in the playoffs. Will they let this game end their season (carry over into the playoffs)? I don't think so, but it's up to them.

Agree.. It's the NFL. Competition is so close week to week. In my opinion it comes down to three main things: Talent,(which is normally very close) game plan and desire(hunger). 

Weve been great so far in all aspects, I think we lacked a bit of desire this week... Understandable. 

Lets put one on them next week and go into the playoffs ready to prove new things. That's how I see it happening.

Bump because I want to hear doubters.
