Preaching to choir here. I've said the same thing for years. It's a real shame too. Cam deserved better and was ahead of his time. 

I loved Cam's confidence and his ego. He brought pride and arrogance to the Panthers for the first time. He made us feel like we deserved to be winners and not have to ask for it. Shame on the NFL for allowing such a piss poor display. I hope Cam speaks out on it one day. 

It always amazes me how so many white guys (as a white guy himself) absolutely hated cam because he was a kid at heart. The dude literally gave his all every single play and should deservingly have celebrated every first day on after all of the hits he took. Yet, every old fart hated him because of it...

 

I will say... I teach and it amazes me how many kids loved Cam from 2013-2018ish years. It really sucks that TJ Watt broke his shoulder

I literally said the entire time that the Broncos were so CLEARLY the worst team we had played all playoffs. They didn't have any semblance of an offense whatsoever and were led by the worst QB in the NFL that season. 

But, we had an inflexible coaching staff that couldn't stop beating their heads against the same wall.  And the absolute jobbing the NFL was giving us.

I hope there comes a day where we never discuss this cruel joke of a game ever again

I knew that I shouldn't have opened this depressing thread, and I was right.

Super Bowl 38 was no choke job, especially not given that we had an OC who redesigned an entirely different game plan at halftime.

Shula sure as hell couldn't do that.

Apparently you weren't watching the same game I was.

The Broncos were very one-dimensional.  They had an anemic offense but a great defense.

So, our brain trust did the obvious thing: Throw the same game plan out there that we had used all year and assume that great defense would not be ready for it after two weeks of preparation.  Guess what, they were prepared and then some......whodathunkit?

Offensively:  take away the two big turnovers that resulted in 15 points for 4 yards of offense, one blown put coverage that was followed up with no yards and a FG, and their offense accounted for 6 points. 

Unfortunately, our brilliant offensive strategy only accounted for 10.  Then subtract the above-mentioned 15 from the turnovers.

Not to mention, we’d finally get moving, get a drive going, then something bad would happen. When Tolbert fumbled that ball, I think that’s when I knew it just wasn’t going to happen that night.

Yeah I was. Blaming Kasay for that loss is stupid.

And where as I wouldn't blame the lose fully on Kasay  . . .the kick was undeniably a major choke.

Not if John Fox had made some of the right coaching decisions on point afters. Or, for that matter, if our defense had made a play on the final drive.

And more than that. No game is decided on any single play. A hundred things could have changed that outcome.

Duh. Poor coaching, questionable officiating, and ill-timed mistakes/failures (Tolbert fumble, Ginn letting the pick bounce off of his hands, the punt return nonsense, Cotchery not catching that bill cleanly in the first place) doomed the team.

[onmyown]

good lord there is no conspiracy, the panthers played like trash, but we’re a good enough team to keep it close. they made huge mistakes all game. yea the officiating sucked but do you guys watch any NFL at all outside the Panthers? Officiating is always horrendous.  not sure why we need refs tbh
