Panthers Stick with Mare, Add a nobody.

when you are able to kick a FG under pressure like that leme know, other wise stfu.

Were you born this stupid or just raised that way?

well nobody lost us a couple of games this year.

:D

Wrong. He contributed to the losses. The offense took its foot off of the pedal and went to sleep against both the Vikings and Falcons. In neither case would Mare's kick have done anything but give the Panthers an opportunity to win OR LOSE later on in the game. Based on how the offense was playing at that point, he probably would have just been delaying the inevitable.

This isn't to say he shouldn't have made the FGs because he should've, but the offense was as much to blame for both of those losses as he was, especially with Cam's idiotic interceptions on back to back possessions against the Falcons, and the lethargic stretch of Three & Outs against the Vikings.

The Defense played well enough to win both of those games, but when the Offense builds a lead, puts on the breaks, goes three and out or turns the ball over keeping the Defense on the field, the other team's offense is going to eventually break through.

That's what happened Sunday and against the Vikings.

Mare's missed Field Goals just delayed the inevitable, and it's easy to scapegoat him instead of blaming the offense for falling apart in both games. It's not like either miss would have won the game outright.
