Why did the Panthers lose today?

[OneBadCat]

1. Our defense is overrated 

2. Washington and Heineke are underrated 

3. Refs stole every stop by the defense in the first half. Cheating POS

[Monrowed]

It’s because the Panthers have a light weight, quick defensive ends that get after the quarterbacks, but because they’re so light weight any team that has an offensive line with size and a good running game they just push them out of the way.

We couldn't stop the run, and the pass defense was loose as a wizard's sleeve. When you get repeatedly gashed in the run game for the entire game you should lose. We did.

We lost, but at least the QB position is now settled. Time to lock Cam up for the next few years and plug the rest of the holes on this team. We’re gonna be a .500 ball club this year. Much improved from last year, but not quite ready for prime time. Maybe Rhule follows his trends everywhere else he’s been and Year 3 is when it all comes together?

All of the above

Donte Jackson

Joe Brady 

Matt Rhule 

there is your answer

Yeah neither Burns nor Reddick offer much in the run game. It’s a big issue.

I noticed we had zero attempts down field through three quarters (unless I missed one). That will have to change...

[pantherj]

At least we know we don't need to resign Jackson.

Plus I wore my Jackson jersey today

Lost seemed eerily similar to Vikings and Cowboys game. Couldn't stop the run, which opened up play action and bootleg.  

Special teams was bad too. Kickoffs were short and didnt pin them inside 20 on punts.

Did Shaq even play today?

donte, burns, Carter, Shaq, Burris were all crap today

way to step up in a big game
