I’m not really mad at anybody though. You could lay blame wherever you want.

Teddy threw a terrible ball on fourth down and then a terrible pick. 
Robby had a ball bounce off his hands for an INT that led to a TD.
DJ gets open for a TD on third down and drops it. 
Davis coughs up a fumble just as we get going.
OL blown off the ball on about half of all plays. 
Secondary let too many WRs run free.
Boston drops an easy INT.
0 sacks. 
Slye misses a kick their kicker makes.

Thank you, this is a level headed nice post. Games like this happen to every team it doesn't mean we couldn't play the Bears tommorow and best them.

And despite all that, we barely lost to a 5-1 team. When we screw up dozens of times and barely lose, we’re gonna be damn good when we just cut those mistakes in half. 

Teddy made most of those mistakes. I don’t see those leaving him anytime soon.

DJ has such a weird game.   Cost us a TD. Probably cost us at least a field goal.  Made some other good catches though.   Just not trustworthy.   

NO SMITTY!!!

Having watched Jake play, I disagree with that.

Jake had games like this too.

Jake in his prime was one of the few players in the league who had his rating go up down inside of 2 minutes. 

He always elevated in crunch time.

We were helped out by a god awful INT from Foles after the Davis fumble. That was 3 free points for the Bears if they just kneel it 3 times.

We were also helped by how bad the Bears' oline is - they got 0 push the entire game in the run game and were able to avoid Foles getting sacked because 1) Foles gets rid of it quick, whether it is to his own team or the other team, and 2) we only rushed 3 or 4 most of the time

Yeah, at the same time he was without his best player. I wouldn't mind taking Lance and nurturing him behind Teddy B.

True. Cmc might make this a different game...

Lance worries me because of how few games hes played, but I think sitting him for a year would be good overall

He’s the most hated player on the team. Notice how when Robby had a ball bounce off his hands for a pick it was both ignored and blame was shifted. The dropped TD, can’t defend that, but I mean he had some damn excellent plays that are conveniently ignored on here. 

The dropped TD was lack of experience together.. Teddy had to get the ball out in a situation he didn’t expect, and DJ adjusted to it less than ideal but still had a chance. It’s ridiculous how much criticism Moore gets when this fan base has been begging for a receiver that’s at least more than capable. We have a few WR’s more than capable now and it’s pretty funny how some talk poo at their earliest convenience.

Well, hopefully we can still get Lance. 

I wish there was a laugh reaction let go of that pipe dream.

I question those who are going to “hate” on Teddy after today. This is who he is. Only the drooling idiots on this board think he’s anything above average. 

Who gives a $hit about those weirdos man .

Yeah, they’re not perfect. They’re gonna screw up too. And we can force mistakes.

Meh, he played pretty bad his last game. But yeah, Teddy is mediocre enough to get us a mid round pick. Sigh. So bad.

We played hard against a playoff team without our best guy, outside of the very... Brees esque pick at the end and some of the mental errors I wasn't too mad with the game today. I expected it to be a 2 score loss, so I'm pleased. Lance has a small sample size but he looks good and his recent bad game against Central Ak. will help lower his stock some,  so he could be there when we pick.

This. 

Panthers were in it till the end against one of the better teams in the league. 

Plenty of blame to go around and lots of learning moments to be had.

Better outcome than I would have expected at the beginning of this season.

 

Bottom line: 

Appreciate our coaching staff and players attitude of never giving up. 

Panthers will bounce back and be better for today's experience.

Sorry negative Nancies, Carolina is a team on the rise.
