Why can't we finish?

[AnalyzeThIs#28]

Yes It's very annoying to give up such a big lead. The defense gave up a lot in the second half but the field position by the 2 interceptions didn't help them out much.

After Newton throw that first interception it seems like he couldn't get it out of his head and it effected his accuracy and decision making after that.

[Mr. Scot]

Probably more the terrible play calling. Some of it was Cam getting rattled, but the play calling was setting him up for failure.

I'd say they adjusted the play calling trying to calm Newton down. Started going for it again late in the fourth but the execution just wasn't there.

main reason, piss poor play calling. chud sux. u absolutly do not pass the ball on 1st and 5 2nd and 5 . 4 passes in a row. what the hell was O cordinator thinking. between cam williams and stewart they all 3 average over 5 yards a carry. what the hell!

PS. olindo mare sux! i want casey back

Wide open recievers, missed assignments is all execution

yeah, anyone with have a brain can see Chud did a good job of adjusting at that point..

obviously there were some "WTF?" calls, but I think a lot of that is trying to get rapport with the team and their strengths..

fans don't see that because they don't know what they are watching...

Who's Casey?

Look where the Panthers were last year. That is not something you come back from overnight.

Before this season my guess was we might win 4 games, my best case scenario was 5 or 6.

There have not been many games this season where I didn't see lots of reason to be hopeful with their improvement.

I think this team right now is ahead of where I would have imagined.

However, the ability to sustain for 60 minutes is always the LAST thing to come together.

Things will come together and I can't wait until next year.

We don't have the confidence yet as a long team which we won't get till we consistently win games.

[Sword]

As long as we get this whole "Youth" thing figured out this year..I don't want Rivera giving us that excuse next year.

[Jangler]

win or lose, I finish...wait wut?

[rico6]

Coaching, and execution.

Young or not, no team should come out that flat after leading a game 23-7 especially when they went in the half pretty hot. (sans that last 1:44 minutesof the 2nd)

This is not the first loss like this, probably won't be the last.

[Proudiddy]

I said it in the chat LP and I've said it in threads before...

Chud's playcalling and total approach to the game after we get the lead is horrible. It's like once we get up by 2+ scores he feels the game is over.

On top of that, Cam forces it and throws two picks, putting a defense that was otherwise playing well on a short field. I believe Cam is forcing it because there is nothing there and Chud hasn't countered the opponent's adjustments.

There's a reason we've lost 7 out of 9 games this same way.

[Mr. Scot]

Rebuilding, transition, new coaching staff and youth are all out as explanations next season.

They apply for this year, but this year only.

yeah, I agree.. there will still be mental lapses and problems executing, but it shouldn't be when we are ahead by 14+ points by the 1st half and watching that dwindle down to a loss at the end..
