I feel like we just lost. Coaching a major concern going forward.

Nitpicking??? I don't think Rivera needs to be fired but I do know that there is a major problem with the way these games are managed with a lead. They have held on for the wins this year but this has been going on for years in Carolina and is the 5th or so time this season. With the talent on this team they should be the no brainer pick for the Super Bowl but with the way the games are managed...who the hell knows.

True (with Rivera over the years).

He trust his defense too much most times.

No ones saying Go Buckwild, Run and Shoot. However, you should throw the ball on first or 2nd down sometimes. That way, you don't have to throw on 3rd a long (risking an INT), or 3yds and a Cloud Of Dust if you choose to predictably run it up the middle.

And the "two time defending NFC champs" never should've ALMOST WON THE fuging GAME today.

Anyone who says the Seahawks' greatness is why they came back in the 2nd half not the decision of Panthers' offense to stay in the locker room at halftime, you lose all credibility. 

The lost by a touchdown. They never lead.  How did they almost win?

16-1 and you are bringing up firing the coach.

I'm not gonna celebrate either. Shameful display in the second half. There's nothing to be happy about.

Nothing huh, I hear ya!

To be fair those multiple penalties late derailed Seattle's momentum.

We should have a thread for "whiners" so they could watch the game and make comments about problems they see and discuss them and we could have a non "whiner" thread where everybody else could go and and type Whooo! Go Panthers Go! We the best man. Fug them Redbirds.

It's times like this that make me yearn for the good ol' days before the interwebz. Then I wouldn't have to read all these crybabies whining about going to the NFCC. Fuging kids who worship their participation trophies, and madden football.

 

Waaa fuging waaa. We didn't win good enough, and I ain't happy about it. FUG OFF.

[Cuttinedge]

The one thing that no ones discussing is the fake punt by Seattle.  When everyone in the stadium including Joe Buck knew it was coming. But our coaches were oblivious to it. 

[Arroz con Panther]

We should ask Seattle how they feel...

Nothing to be happy about? Are you that miserable a person, that you have to focus on the negative instead of enjoying the fact that "your team" is hosting the NFCCG?

I agree we are the worst team when it comes to blowing a huge lead. Had i been a close game though, we would've still won bc Rivera would've coached the whole game

Lol. The Bucs. 

What about the Colts, Packers, Giants and Seahawks? 

Or did you only catch that Bucs game?

I'm not discounting those WINS. Just pointing out that the Panthers can, and have, blown people out. Are there some concerns? Sure, but not as much as if the Panthers won because of a missed FG. They won wire-to-wire, so enjoy that for a change.
