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. 

Lmao you got me speechless on that, good one

Tepper must have had a nice chat with Ron for him to rip the defense a new one for the poor play after the game for this to take place.

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

Butler - 22 (35%)
Poe - 37 (59%)

Both had 1 tackle.

Won't matter though. People will still ignorantly fume over Butler not getting a sack on every play when we could have had an IR'd Hunter Henry.

Thanks

Its  nothing new,  when the Panthers lose games the opposing teams have wide open Wrs and RBs have long runs

[beastson]

He also added Captain played well at Nickel

Very confusing...looked like a completely different bunch of players from last week. The suckage was huge with this group.....no pressure at all, tackling sucked etc. Was it the game plan or what?

Not sure why evetyon was obsessed with Henry that year. I was screaming for Emmanuel Ogbah. He's been solid, but unspectacular so far.

In hindsight, it's painfully obvious the pick should've been Michael Thomas or Deion Jones and what makes that extra painful is that both of those guys went to division rivals. Jones is the player we hoped Shaq would be and Thomas is the elite WR we've been needing since Smitty. Fug.

I know, but we've heard this  before and yet, keep letting the same stuff slide. No player personnel changes are ever made, no examples are ever made ... To me, it's just lip service, but actions speak louder than words.... So, I'm anxious to see what happens. 

Personnel changes have been made in the past.  In 2014, we made lots of changes towards the end of the season.  This year, it might be harder to make changes, as we don't have that many ready replacements.

I like to think Ron was paraphrasing his conversation with Tepper. 

[RevJ]

Can't help but think Rivera realizes that expectations are going to be higher with Tepper.  The previous owner was ummm . . distracted with other matters.

In the first half I saw quite a few players where Butler and Poe blew through the line during passing. Second half I didn't notice anything good though, so you may be right in terms of run defense there.

Don't feel bad mang, you weren't the only one. I was wide eyed at the possibility of Ogbah as well as Noah Spence. It is what it is though and I'll pull for Butler so long as he's a Panther (and doesn't suddenly go batshit insane)
