While I realize you cant blame the whole thing on Mare, we are paying him a lot to do two things. Makes me wonder why, given the philosophy of this team, why didnt we get a promising young kicker who costs less and build him up this year like the rest (most) of the team.

The snap was high and mishandled by the placeholder as a result.

That threw him off and made him pull it.

The holding penalty wiped away a 1st and goal.

The Panthers blew too many opportunities and left themselves with a VERY SMALL margin of error.

They lost because they put themselves in a situation TO LOSE, and then EVERY ELEMENT OF THE FIELD GOAL was fuged up.

So, yeah, blame Mare "ONLY", and show the world how little intelligence you have. :mad:

This is the same person who is quick to blame every offense mess up on it's QB...U are an interesting one.

Have you watched our KO coverage lately? Mares ability to kick it out of the endzone so often has probably saved us about 3-4 TD's.

I watched college football kickers do kicks from 50 plus yards yesterday and this guy can't get it at 31 yds to help his team tie a game. Talk about a jinxs team.

Do you watch any other games, almost every kicker is doing that. Didnt help us on the opening kick off. Luckily the defense bailed us out.

Paying him $4 million, at that.

Regardless, the game was lost before that kick. Explain to me WHY Minnesota was ahead, again?

Where did 14 of their points come from?

Where did the Panthers' offense go after the first drive in the 3rd Quarter?

Why weren't the Panthers lining up for 1st & Goal at the end instead of kicking a field goal?

The Defense HELD PETERSON to 86 yards, only gave up 10 points on regular possessions, and they still lost.

People who are fixated on Mare's miss are fools. The Offense failed to close. They got the ball back with a 21-14 lead, and went 3 and out again, and the rest is history.

As many three and outs as they had in the Second Half, that they even still had a chance to win the game outside the field goal, is a testament to how respectable the overall defensive effort was today, compared to other times this season.

Ponder is solid from what I've seen so far. He panics and flees the pocket at times, but he can read defenses and makes throws. In the second half he seemed to outplay Cam.

U must be in the minority because all the talking heads kept saying was how good AP was and how fortunate Ponder was to have him.

Take nothing away from Ponder but go google Cam's name. U won't see anyone claiming Ponder was better. Just working with a better team.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
