This.  How about some receivers who can catch the ball who is not named CMC or Wright?

Wright dropped a bad one on 3rd down that killed a drive that would have led to points in the first half.

Maybe he shoulda done something about it during the game or at halftime. 

This + I wish he would get this pissed after a poor offensive performance. But......

I expect an absolutely dominant performance from the defense against Cincy. I think we make dalton look very very bad. 

[KillerKat]

Maybe he should've gave a damn about the safety position in the offseason.

I'm not concerned about the defense performing well against the Bengals, Giants,etc. Its how they perform against the Falcons and Saints. They aren't competitive, both Brees and Ryan have all day to throw and we give up chunk plays. Our offense isn't built to get into shootouts since most of our resources are poured into the defense. Donte Jackson is a start, but Panthers over the next two offseasons need to add speed to their overall defense.

ATL and Pats are probably the most holding teams on the planet. So many times I saw their OL grabbing hand fulls of jersey and pulling people to the ground.

The Bengals are pretty good and just like the Falcons, will have had 10 days off by the time kickoff rolls around 

don’t think they didn’t see Mayo at outside linebacker. No matter what Ron does, at this moment, he has the players he has. Not Mayo”s fault, he is not a OLB

[rhyslloyd]

Wait, wait, wait.  Ron said he would not accept subpar performance?  Take a look in the mirror, moron.

hopefully he feels the heat and riverboat makes a comeback

Didn’t we go for it on 4th and 4 from the 35 or 33 instead kicking another GD field goal? 

And we ended up with the touchdown.

i really thought the offense turned a corner after that.

the defense fell apart instead of coming together,...

the loss is on the defense

Ron definitely needs to light them all up.

I feel like Rivera’s been more animated on the sideline this year than years past. He’s actually showing a lot of emotion out there. Wanting to win is contagious and maybe he’s feeling some of Tepper’s energy. Or maybe he knows his job is very well on the line if we don’t do well this year.

Think that’s more likely it...

I think the best part about the Moore TD yesterday is that it had more then just fans questioning his decision making.

Yep. Moore should’ve been heavily involved from week 1.

No player personnel changes are ever made, no examples are ever made

WRONG!

He allowed his backup QB to throw an interception because Cam didn’t wear a tie once!

Ron really really stresses the important stuff.

Does anyone have a snap count yet?

dying to see Butler’s total vs Poe. Maybe it just seemed like Butler was out there a lot because every time there was a big run it was him they were running by.

Lol at bleacher report

NFL.com puts together a gamebook for every game, it's a PDF with all sorts of stats. Takes them a day or two to get the snap counts into.

Click on the "X" in the circle to close the video, you'll see a link to the gamebook. Doesn't have snap counts yet, will soon.
