Soft zone in last minute

[LinvilleGorge]

It wasn't just on the last drive. We played soft coverage the entire 4th quarter and let them just kill us with those quick slants.

Honestly this really is sad. The only good pass pro defense we had last year was a 4 man rush, 2 LB, Nickel coverage. And that was with 3rd and sometimes 4th and 5th stringers. This year supposedly we have corners that can play tight man if not press, and a rookie LB that can cover the middle of the field and we still go to literally our LEAST SUCCESSFUL PACKAGE!!!!!!!!! WTF :angry: i.e.

soft zone with LB's playing 15 yards off the line of scrimmage.

Glad they could remind me of what life was like in 2001.

I really don't think the coaches are even watching the game... I heard they are pretty good at madden though, except for chud he prefers NCAA 13.

Guy goes 5/5, but let him try a 51 yard field goal no f###ing way. Fire all the coaches now, I think the players could coach themselves to more wins than this staff.

The Panthers should have won this game. They played aggressive defensive until the fourth quarter melt down, then chocked and started playing that cursed prevent defense. I am so frigging mad that i can't express n\my feeling. What a crock of bullshit,turning an almost sure win into another loss.

What I've learned from this game, well not really this game, but even if Cam would've scored on that 4th down play against Seattle, I'm 100% sure Seattle would've drove right down the field for the win.

been Panther football for season's now and it sure does make it VERY difficult to be a Panther fan. The worse part about it is no matter what your always watching the game just waiting for it to happen, and for sure it always does.

I wish I was a reporter at the press conference so I could ask that fuging idiot what he was doing allowing those slants like that.

My guess "It's all part of the plan"

[raleigh-panther]

We had a timeout to burn. Call it, regroup. Do they just have no answers?

You are right Zod.

Prevent defense has never worked for good teams much less bad ones.

I just feel sad at another waste season.

I believe those players gave it everything they had today...Smith killed himself earlier in the game to make difficult catches...and slipping causes a pick 6....The Punter kicks 6 yard punt...an then, the prevent defense.

Throwing when they should run and vice versa...sending Newton back in the shotgun when they need less than a yard.

What more is there to say.

[davos]

It was very interesting watching Josh Thomas just backing up...then backing up some more...then backing up even more

This is 10X worst than 2001 for me because we really should be much better than our record shows.

[Chaos]

But, but, but Norman had the pick-two that doesn't really give you points in the NFL!!!111! C'mon guise!!

[grateflday]

This thread is just getting me angry again :phew: Like others have said,,,, they had a timeout left = USE IT, just to stop and regroup. The difference between a good coaching staff and bad one in a similar situation see the Giants/Cowboy game today. Coughlin called timeouts two times in the last ~30 secondes or so to talk to his defense, etc. Rivera just let the Bears go go go go go go go , kick field goal, game over.

[rayzor]

not going to defend any coach that wil take the foot off the brakes so often.

he sure talked a big aggessive game when he got hired and he may have been tat way as a DC, but as a HC he's soft and scared.

we need a coach who will keep the throttle wide open on both sides of the ball from start to finish.
