The bottom line is: We beat ourselves.

[Bronn]

It isn't even about missed opportunities at this point. It is about blown opportunities.

DJ's fumble was a killer.

The backwards pass/fumble thing was a killer.

Cam's INT was a killer.

All three of these, paired with not being able to stop the run on defense, are why we lost.

We'll fix it and beat the poo out of the Bucs. We're a really good team that had a bad opening day.

The end.

[uncfan888]

I feel like they couldn't stop the run because they were gassed from that heat in the second half. But I agree with everything you said, we'll be fine

[Adb6368]

How many people truthfully circled this as a W on their calendar? I have us right where we need to be and still on track to make it to the playoffs. No injuries and getting comfortable with our scheme this year. We'll be fine.

The 3 and out after Bradberry's interception was inexcusable. 

[Palmetto]

Thats not new news

The question is when are we going to not beat our selves

This team does the same  ish every season

and we get no passion or sense of urgency from the coaches or players 

[OriginalPantherDan]

I agree, though I’ll also admit that as I live outside the viewing area all I can go by are highlights and stats for this one. I’ll also say thank God for CMC, because without him the Panthers lose by a mile. He’s the best player on this team now, and that includes Luke. 

[raleigh-panther]

It’s a L. 

If a team is gong to lose, don’t do it st home 

they lost to a nfc team one that will be in the playoffs and that goes to home field advantage should by some miracle this team and coaching staff get tired of 

missed opportunities and beating themselves and all the excuses that come with it 

[*FreeFua*]

Bottom line is that we lost

How about not capitalizing on getting the ball at the 40 yard line after the crappy punt. 

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Take the L and know that you will have the same record as 16 other teams at the end of tonight.  Just hope NO loses too.  

[rayzor]

So what you're basically saying us....missed opportunities.

Same old song. Ready for this club to quit missing so many and the coaching staff to get the players coached up enough that they don't.

What I saw what a lot of the same poo that's been going on for too long. Sloppiness all over and until they tighten stuff up we will continue to hear that same missed opportunities song,

I'm just tired of it. Ron needs to get his ship right or be shown the door.

We lost, time to move on.

The second half of our schedule is pretty ridiculous. This upcoming game against the Bucs is a gift of a bounce back game if there ever was one. We need a statement win.

Nothing is in the NFL. If we don't quit with all the mistakes it will be no different than last year. We waste the most damn timeouts by not being ready to snap the ball. At some point this poo has to stop!

Rivera coached teams often do. Nothing new.
