We've lost SEVEN games by a touchdown or less

[Pimpdaddy]

the only thing consistent about this team are the uncanny breakdowns of play during crucial moments... we are finding ways to lose. thats ***** coaching.  Dont hate me but i consider NO one of the most prolific offenses, constantly attacking and exploiting. How in the fk did our defense shut them out of the endzone. was Ron running the D last night?  I agree that Riv's brand of football is the reason...no margin for error it seems. If the ball bounces our way in those games we lost and were able to capitalize on certain situations...we could easily only have 2 losses...

Frankly, the spread for most games in the NFL is below 7 points, but to your point, the average margin for the Panthers is less than one point.  Here is an interesting chart.

We are 6-8, but frankly, were it not for a 63-yard FG and a Philly meltdown (Short deflected a Wentz pass to a wide open WR) we could easily be 4-10 right now.

That's what bad teams always say.  The browns lost game after game in close games, but losses nonetheless.

We are a bad team.  Makes me sad.

Thats what happens when you have a gutless, spineless, limp dick, braindead, stuck-in-the-80s coach...  your games are decided upon a razor's edge.  It's why his coaching is outdated...  a single score decides whether he is a good coach or a bad coach, and he can't win in consecutive seasons, so what does that tell you?  Are the wins the norm, or are the losses the aberration?  If almost all of your games are decided by a single score, and you're hovering around .500 for your career besides one season your team caught lightning in a bottle and played out of their minds, i'd say that's a good sign that you have very little influence over your team's outcomes...

Which means, you suck.

He protects leads,  even when the lead belongs to the other team.  We are built in a manner where we cannot hold a lead or come from behind.  Were it not for a 63 yard FG and an Eagles meltdown, we are 4-10. 

SO I agree
