Embarrassment

[Lakelover]

I will not be back to another game while Sean McDermott is a coach with the Panthers.

Embarrassment is the perfect word. It was shameful how this team performed. The offensive line played on their heels for most of the game, Charles Godfrey is constantly burned by tight ends in the red zone (yet we continue to match him up with them) and he can't tackle worth a poo, the defense played lackluster and heartless the entire game (aside from Kuechly, Norman, and Alexander), Joe Adams plays scared (though he had an edge to him in college and somehow lost it after being drafted), and finally Cam... what the hell?! He looked god awful out there. He has no problem making a split decision on a keeper vs a handoff but takes 10 seconds to find a receiver on a pass play. Holding the ball and making a play is something he CAN do, but he has GOT to get rid of the ball much faster. Find a target and get him the ball. He ALWAYS looks for the homerun instead of taking what the defense gives him. It's not making him better, it's making his team suffer. Bottom line, we aren't playing like a team that can have a winning record, much less make the playoffs. We have to find the heart, and play with aggression every snap. It's pathetic.

And P.S. If I hear Ron Rivera make the excuse "Well Stewart being out really hurt our gameplan..." one more fuging time, I'll snap. It's ONE runningback! Out of the 3 we are paying a poo ton for. Make the adjustment and move on. If so much depends on Stewart, then Deangelo and Tolbert shouldn't even be here. It's a sad and pathetic excuse is all it is.

Yeah, i am kinda done for a while, until this team shows me something. I will watch them and pull for them every week, but i am not spending any more of my $ on this product. I guess i just baught into the hype. I really couldnt afford to do all the things i have done for this team. I have baught 4 jerseys went to 4 games the last 2 back to football parties and spent tons of money sense Cam and Rivera. And i was without a steady job for the last 2 years. I know i probably spent money and did things irresponsibly but I just wanted to be on board when the ship took off. I guess we got a while before its going anywhere. Hope i am wrong though and i just got a bad taste in my mouth right now.

The official media line so far is more that the Giants played well, their backups did well, and the Carolina defense is to blame for the loss. Not much in the way of piling on by the media, actually.

Now, other haters of Cam and general trolls, that's a different story. But fu*k them.

I just finished watching the game after I got home and that was probably the most pathetic excuse for a game I've seen the Panthers play since 08's playoff game. The defense just looked lethargic. The secondary and LBs played worse than I think I've ever seen them play. Secondary leaving guys wide open on almost every play, LBs missing twice as many tackles as they were making. Just a sad sad game. Hopefully this embarrassment is enough to spark a fire under their asses for the rest of the year. Defense today looked worse than whatever their worst game was last year.

Good post, I feel the same way. I've bought 2 new nike jerseys, a new panther hat/shirts, and ordered NFL sunday ticket just so I can watch the games and im definitely struggling money wise. If I still lived in NC id be going to all the games.

But damn, I feel seriously cheated. Ive watched every game including the 2-14 pickles game and that was miserable.

We spend so much money and time on this team and everything feels so...unrewarding.

Oh well, at least we arent browns/raiders fans.

nothing like being the only Panther fan at the bar surrounded by obnoxious Giants fans. The defense looked like they hadn't practiced all week, the offense couldn't finish a drive. This loss will linger for a while

yea, till we get our azz kicked by atlanta...

How about being surrounded by Giants fan in your own Stadium. The team played like poo and I couldnt get out of there fast enough.

I am in the same boat with you, money is extremely tight so I have to pick games to go to this year, so I figured the Night game to make a statement to the world that the Panthers are back. Boy was I wrong, I was truly embarrassed to be a Panthers fan last night. Almost as bad as the Arizona playoff game. The money I spent last night could have been spent on better things, but I wanted to support my team the day it made the statement that "Hell Yeah the Panthers are Back!!". I just dont know if I can trust my hard earned money to this team anymore, so I will be a true Panthers fan from my couch for alittle while longer.

what percentage would you say it was...giants fans to panther fans?? did we ever get loud? I couldn't hear it on the tv I was watching it on

[Panther53521]

In my section it had to be 50-50 and I cant tell you how many times I heard from a Giants fan ... "Panthers are my second favorite team" its all the transplants living down here.

[csx]

Can someone please tell me WTH the Panther always wait until they have a natonal audience to play like complete crap? Is this team just afraid of the spotlight? Absolutely pathetic performance!!!

They didn't wait at all. They played like crap the first game of the year for the regional audience as well.

You learn from the best, and the Giants are a better team, better coached,. for now,

So look what they do, how they play and learn from them, if they can, we can, they are men like the Carolina Panthers players.

About Kuelchy he is a rookie MLB playing OLB during his rookie season.. he is trying his best to help his defense, personnally he was not my draft choice but i am impressed by this kid.

If i can give one advice to the coachs, we need more than one RB during game day........

Tolbert is FB, The lack of running game was imho the main reason for this defeat.
