It is the OL according to this blogger

didn't read it, but when you have to put a band aid fix on an already suspect oline...you get what you get.

PFF seems to agree

It never helps your offensive productivity when four of your offensive linemen grade below-1.0. Such was the case for the Panthers. Their reshuffled offensive line wasn’t gelling, and it hindered the offense’s efficiency. The four penalties committed by the line put the Panthers in some longer down-and-distances, really limiting Carolina’s play-calling options.

And so do I, the pressure given up the middle by Hangman, Bell, Amini was terrible, and Garry was thrashed as well.

There really isn't any one thing to blame IMO. Sometimes Cam tries to do too much and hold the ball too long, sometimes the WR are not getting open, sometimes the O-Line has not given him enough time, sometimes Cam makes a bad decision, sometimes Cam misses his mark on a pass, some times it is a WR drop, sometimes it is questionable playcalling, sometimes it is simply players not executing the play or getting beat, sometimes it is the defense not holding leads, sometimes it is costly preventable penalties like false starts, sometimes its....

I mean it is all these things. I think it is foolish to try and lay the blame on one entity or the other, whether it is the QB, the WRs, the O-line, the RBs, the defense, or the coaching. The answer is YES. It is all their faults.

But we are also SO CLOSE which makes these 1-5 starts hurt so much worse. We are on the brink of being really good but as Cam said we just find new ways to lose. Some of them our fault, some it is plain bad luck. But that is why it is frustrating because you would think the ball would bounce our way eventually and it just hasn't.

Hard to execute a play when the LoS is a jailbreak every down

Well our OL is....

Gross, rookie, backup C, Undrafted 2nd year player, Undrafted backup RT.

And a lot is asked of the OL just like Cam.

It all goes back to coaching and coaching asking too much of players. I mean they could work on some power runs and use our Gs in clear roles....Bell and Amini can run block.

Even when our line has been 100% they have played like utter poo with the exception of the Saints game. It is unbelievable that Cam has < 3 seconds to throw the ball on a 3 man rush, and this happens game after game.

How quickly things can turn is staggering. NFL is what have you done for me lately is the truest statement ever said!

A couple months ago aftter a record breaking rookie season we were Rah superbowl, HOF QB...no its bench cut fire, Cam worts ever blah blah blah

The mood swings are worse then my woman on PMS

just go along with the ride, this will only get worse until we win, winning cures everything.

people havent mentioned it but we ran the i formation a lot more than we have in the past couple of games. It looked horrible. Face it fellas we are a bad team with either aging players who used to be pro bowlers and inexperienced players that might not be any good.

We need help at the o-line

D-line

Secondary

WIDE RECEIVER

We ran some out of the I but did not seem to commit to it and that is the problem.We do not have an identity. We have so many chute plays we do not play hard nose smack them in the mouth football which wears defenses down.It promotes soft play from the line and no one gets into a rhythm.
