So who gets the blame for this loss?

[SmootsDaddy89]

On the one hand, the offense sucking in the second half, and Cam throwing 2 picks could be considered the culprit for allowing the Falcons to come back. On the other hand, the defense allowed more points in the second half than we scored all game.

I'm going to blame Mare though, cause I'm sick of his poo.

[Jangler]

it was a collision of pure negative energy in second half.

WTF happened to the playcalling? Starting at the end of the first half, it was like watching Foxball again.

The Panthers.

Teams win. Teams lose.

Yea you do realize the defense gave up more points because our offense set up shop for theirs right?

Offenses fault period, 0 points in the second half when the d is down to its 10th string DTs and LBs. The D played well, they deserve an ovation for their efforts actually.

Chud + Cam poo the bed.

[GritsRgreat]

Excusing the defense because they're supposed to suck and managed not to suck for two quarters doesn't work for me, sorry.

[usmcpanthers]

coaches without a doubt.........sometimes you have to use a timeout to kill some momentum, and frickin make adjustments. Team looked shell shocked in the 2nd half

[Sapper]

Absolutely the play calling and the defense in the second half.

Mare will deserving of the scapegoat considering how nonclutch he has been this year, but this loss was a collective effort.

[Woodcookedbbq]

Every element of this team made their little contribution.

Coaching staff gets all the blame. The playcalling was completely horrible late in this game. How do you fail to convert on 3rd&2, 3rd&3 and the like? At one point (after Abraham jumped the line early, putting us at 1st&5) we couldn't gain a single yard for four straight downs. Rivera, run the ball at least once in that 1st&5 situation!

Then as someone said before, they played conservative late at the end of the 1st half, and Cam was shaking his head, probably the lack of energy getting to him at that point. I know Cam messed up big time, I know all too well we should have cut Mare yesteryear, but the playcalling was putrid late in the second half. If Cam is struggling, go back to a conventional running game. (Not that crappy read offense)

Put that drive at the end of the half out of your mind. It didn't matter.

If we look at our first drive of the second half, we weren't going conservative. Basically 2 passes, 1 run, and 1 of the passes was pretty deep I think.

Remember we were moving the ball before Cam's terrible first interception. that was not a play call problem, that was a terrible decision on his part.

Second interception came while we were moving the ball, too, though it was after a terrible holding penalty.

Fourth drive of the quarter ended before it began with a terrible penalty.

Fifth drive the Falcons made a great play on another short pass to stop Stew short. Don't usually see Stew stopped by the first guy on what seemed a sure fire first down.

Sixth drive Mare cost us the game...

So I don't think it was playcalling through most of the 2nd half, though the run-run-screen on the fifth drive was weird and predictable.

The final drive though, 1st and 5 and we forget that we have to get a first down to keep the drive alive. Inexcusable.
