Who to blame most for loss?

[Jangler]

poo don't flow up stream, all the blame goes to Fox then downhill from there.

It's on the coaching staff, you let Jake attempt 42 passes while D-Will and Stewart get 24 total rushing attempts. Your playing the worst rush defense in the league and you throw it 42 times, are you f*cking kidding me I hope the coaching staff enjoyed trying to keep 89 happy because it cost us a win.

sh*t don't flow up stream, all the blame goes to Fox then downhill from there.

Yup, always has been IMO.

Fox, Davidson & Hurney

I'd say its 75% Jake, 18% Kasay, 7% Kenny Moore

The defense was great today. Every TD the bills got we gave them because of Jake. Kasay sucked today but you telling me we can't manage a couple TD's on the fvckin bills?

Kenny Moore blew any chance we had at a come back but the game should not have come down to that. We are a better team than the Bills and we outplayed them most of the game. Delhomme's the one that blew it. He made some good throws but he mostly made bad ones. And to me personally I though he was throwing to the RBs so much because he was afraid to throw over the middle (Look what happened when he did).

Dont blame Hurney he did his part. Fox is the one who wanted Jake extended.

Steve Smith. For not snapping and knocking out Jake, forcing Matt Moore into the game. Damnit, Smitty.

We cannot continue to turn the ball over in our end of the field. Poorly thrown balls into coverage will never get the job done. We simply need to be better at the QB position. We need another option before this season is lost because next off-season I forsee many changes coming.

[tight lines]

I blame Zod.

[raleigh-panther]

I blame Canada....

...they aren't really a country, anyway....

This was as bizarre of a day as it gets. We totally dominated the Bills in the key stats. Even the points we gave up via turnovers shouldn't have prevented a win. I was heartened to see SOME of what I think hurts us offensively addressed, in the consistent throws to the RBs' and to the TEs'. However, basic Football 101 was ignored several times on third downs. You do NOT throw a 6 yard pass when you need 8 yards for a first down, especially if you're throwing to a receiver who is running a 'comeback' route! We had more than a few stupid penalties that helped kill promising drives. We couldn't get ONE measley yard on a fourth and one against the worst run defense in the league!

The defense is playing with some real fire for once, but what can you do when Kasay of all people misses 2 FGs? Is the Bills kick coverage that good are are we just that bad on kicks and punts returns? Today adds up to being snake bit almost. But I think I start Moore next week if I was in Fox's shoes. Jake just isn't getting it done. Other teams seem to have some success against us when they start a different QB (like today, for instance), why not throw something out there that might make teams prepare for an unknown? At this point, it's worth the chance.

I hate to think of the money and time that will be necessary to draft and develop a QB out of college, and I don't know if we have the coaches who can develop one anyway. With our offensive line, running game, and TEs', we have a sound basis to build on. Smitty has become a question mark, and Moose is hundred years old or so. But even the commentators today pointed out how Jake doesn't really use or look for more than one WR at a time, maybe Moore will, and thus Jarrett will develop. But any rebuilding should involve the coaches as well. I thought Dan Henning was too conservative and predictable, but Davidson is making me nostalgic for those days!

I don't post much, but if anyone on this board defends Jake from this point on, they must be daft. Bottom line: Jake Delhomme cost the Panthers this game. 2nd behind Jake is John Fox for putting the ball in his hands. The muffed punt by Moore was in desperation time. The game should never have been that close.

I have stood by Jake and hoped, prayed and expected him to break out of his slump; however, there is something either physically or mentally wrong with him. He doesn't have "IT" anymore. He wasted an extremely awesome effort by our defense.

Meeks has put our defense on the map BTW. I was concerned at the start of the season, but this defense would win games for us if it wasn't for the poor play of this offense or more specific, JAKE. I'll watch the rest of the season, expecting a loss because of Jake Delhomme and John Fox.
