So many overreactions

[CanePantherHornet]

Yes, the team played horribly today. Offense was a disaster on every level. Special teams was atrocious. Defense was on the field so long they got gassed, etc.

 

But despite all of this we were a blocked punt away from winning. 

 

The team being awful and still almost winning is a silver lining to me.

I’ve calmed down a bit since earlier but no. I don’t think we win without the blocked punt either. 
 

After halftime we came out destined to lose. Idk if there’s no leadership from the guys on the team or if it’s coaches but our faults go beyond players. It’s deeply rooted into decision making and game planning.

Against a very bad football team…at home.  
 

no one is overreacting.  What happened today was pathetic.  There are no excuses for millionaires to look like the pure crap they did today.

An L is an L, blocked punt or not. The fact is is that it shouldn't have been close. We had uninspired play calling and a QB who couldn't hit an open guy for his life...unless it was between the numbers of a defensive back.

This game was a reminder that we are still only in year two of the rebuild. Sam is still becoming accustomed to the offense, and he's under a lot of pressure from poor o-line play.

The team overall is very young, so this isn't by any means the finished product, not to mention CMC and Horn being out. Add CMC, Horn, and a lot of maturing and you have a much better team.

That's me being positive.

Nobody is overreacting. They just lost to a team that looked like it was picking top 5 maybe top 10. Now we have to go look at that “soft” schedule and wonder if the panthers can beat any of those teams

Overreaction when we win and overreaction when we lose. We aren't a world beater nor the worst team in the league. We look like a good ole .500 team.

We lost a game we had won.

Getting upset is ok.

No overreactions here. The offensive line is terrible and Sam makes very poor decisions. The dude has no vision. He has been throwing into coverage all year but the difference is we are now playing teams whose secondary's will punish those forced throws. 

We went all in on the defense this year in win now mode but the problem is our offense isn't there. Robby is MIA most of the time and Sam makes terrible, terrible decisions. The offensive line is non-existent. The defense gets gassed from repeatedly stopping the opposing offense. 

No overreactions. It is what it is. We aren't ready this year. Once we invest in an actual QB and an Offensive line, we'll be playoff ready.

We had no business losing this game. We are straight up the better team. The plays were there to win the game. Sam was horrible today. It just is what it is. 
 

Either he steps up and blossoms or we don’t win until we get CMC and Shaq back.

Defense wasn't gassed. You fools do understand google exists right. Or how about watch the damn game. We had +11 minute TOP and had a 7+minute drive in the 4th. Stop being inept on basic poo

I have noticed a lot of those of us calm over this are canes fans and idk if its the years of us not being good that made us patient or the fact that our patience in fact paid off with the canes, but we're zen right now.

If the Jets forum last year is any indication y'all haven't seen anything yet...

 

Total meltdown

No but expecting your defense to keep up that level of dominance and putting them in short field situations does deflate a defense. Not everything has a metric
