People say Rhule is rebuilding I just have no idea what he is building the fact is, just like a house, you start with the foundation…the lines…he has a dline that gets pushed around against the big boys hit them in the mouth and they don’t hit back. He has a horrible oline He brings back Cam, I believe to keep from getting lynched honestly, that defense yesterday, looked like they quit. The frustration of feeling that Tepper missed on this coaching staff is overwhelming

Article from Cat Crave. I’m posting number 5 first It is simple and straightforward https://catcrave.com/2021/11/21/5-major-factors-blame-carolina-panthers-loss-washington/5/ 5. Carolina Panthers were outcoached This would have been incredibly satisfying for Ron Rivera, who got one over on the team that fired him on his first visit back to Bank of America Stadium. It was a masterful gameplan for the head coach, who snuffed out pretty quickly what the Carolina Panthers were doing on offense and knew exactly where to attack the defensive side of things thanks to his previous knowledge of some personnel. These smooth adjustments made a significant difference as the game went on. Something Matt Rhule and his staff couldn’t match and this ongoing complication is holding the Panthers back. That’s the long and short of it, really. Making excuses for poor execution and sloppy situational football is all well and good and might fly in other organizations. But not when it occurs most weeks. Rhule is no longer a rookie head coach learning his craft. So it’s about time he started acting like it and start making the correct in-game adjustments that counteract what the other team is doing and provide a spark that simply isn’t there for the Panthers immediately after the halftime break. Until this happens, the Panthers will only get so far. If last weekend’s shock win at the Arizona Cardinals was their most complete display of 2021, then this one saw them revert to type. 4. Carolina Panthers had no answer for Terry McLaurin Curtis Samuel was unable to prove his fitness and take the field against his former team. But one wide receiver stood up and made his presence felt from start to finish. The Washington Football Team was depending on Terry McLaurin more than ever before. And he delivered with a special performance that further enhanced his reputation as one of the league’s brightest young players at the position. McLaurin gave Donte Jackson and the Carolina Panthers an untold amount of problems. One that didn’t really get solved unless All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore was matched up against him. Just why Gilmore didn’t get this responsibility prominently was bemusing. But the Panthers are clearly limiting the corner’s snaps as he continues to work his way back from a torn quad. Blown coverages and miscommunication didn’t exactly help, either. The Ohio State product’s stat line of five receptions for 103 receiving yards and a touchdown could have been more had Taylor Heinicke connected with McLaurin when open. Washington also got plenty of success in the run game that meant the passing attack wasn’t needed all that much. Everyone who matched up with him had a tough time outside of Gilmore. In Jackson’s case, this was his most disappointing performance of 2021 by a considerable margin. 3. Carolina Panthers struggled on 3rd down It was a bad afternoon for the Carolina Panthers on third down. This was a problem on both sides of the football and something that played a leading role in their eventual demise. You aren’t going to win much going 2-9 on third down and 1-3 on fourth down. Although quarterback Cam Newton played well considering his limited knowledge of the playbook with just one week of practice to go off. Just bad execution in key moments coupled with poor situational football. And when one examines the Panthers’ efforts in 2021, these will be two areas that deserve to be scrutinized heavily. If that wasn’t enough, the defense just couldn’t get Washington off the field. Something they can take advantage of with Taylor Heinicke under center as was proven in their upset win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. Washington went 6-13 on third down and a perfect 2-2 on fourth-down conversions. The fact they managed to move the chains from a 3rd-and-21 situation in the second half was unacceptable and a microcosm of how things went for Carolina in this statistical category. Back to the drawing board, one suspects. But these problems are ongoing and it comes down to coaching staff adjustments – or a lack thereof – to get better. 2. Carolina Panthers couldn’t stop the run Phil Snow’s defense was conceding 107 yards per game on the ground before Sunday. But it’s also worth noting that they’ve shopped substantial yardage against the run in almost every defeat this season. Something that proved to be the case once again in Week 11. The Carolina Panthers were porous stopping the run. And things looked promising early on when they forced Antonio Gibson into a red-zone fumble. After that, it was one-way traffic as Washington’s offensive line had their way with Carolina’s defensive front en route to 190 rushing yards from 40 total carries. Simply put, it was not good enough. And the Panthers defense sure picked a day to have their most lethargic performance of the campaign. Hopefully, this is just a small bump in the road and they can get back on track next weekend at the Miami Dolphins. But run-stopping has become a problem when things aren’t going the Panthers’ way at times. What made matters worse was Washington’s offensive line being banged up and still managing to generate push consistently. Carolina’s defensive front just wasn’t at the races and it was too much for the offense to overcome. 1. Penalties cost the Carolina Panthers in big moments Remember the “Don’t Beat Ourselves” sign that was prominent across training camp? Well, the message continues to get ignored if this game was any indication. The Panthers were once again victims of their own demise with costly penalties in key moments. This halted their momentum just enough for Washington to hold on and gain revenge for Ron Rivera. Carolina gave up seven penalties for 65 yards throughout the contest. Although this was fewer than Washington on the day, it was the timing of the infringements that made a massive difference. A lack of discipline cost the Panthers in a big way. And in all honesty, not for the first time this season.

I was at the stadium and losing my mind over this

Lol. I know, right

To be lucky enough to be there, very grateful. An amazing experience

They published the tenets a week ago I think I saw it on a Facebook group. One person said it sounded like the Patriots He best look in the mirror with how mediocre his coaching is before he starts talking about brand

‘Premature’ Lol As is said, ‘you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig’ it should Not take too long to realize what Rhule is and what he should have stayed. Hope to wake up on Jan 5 to ‘Rhule and Tepper have amicably agree to split and Rhule is off to USC’

You are being kind…admirable brady has sucked routinely. Teams have caught on it takes a damned miracle to score these days how many throws on first down….let’s start there

Thank you. That was my point Gilmore should have been glued to 17. Period. End of story

I did too. It was awful and to be clear this had nothing to do with yelling for the players it’s actually better than it was in September

Exactly the list of bad play calls on both sides of the ball were egregious Rhule can take his ass and his staff to the ncaa

How so?

This right here….TRUTH

That panthers defense couldn’t stop anyone going for it wasn’t a problem You will note Washington did it several times the problem was the play call and the execution

The issue is not Cam the issues start with coaching …everything from game planning. Game execution. Game management In game adjustments It could be taken a step further with talent evaluation and the draft not trying to be Debbie Downer I’m calling it as I see it with this coaching staff the Panthers coaching staff was thoroughly out coached by Rivera’s let that sink in I see another two years wasted with Rhule and his ‘brand’ bullshit before a Nfl staff is brought to Charlotte

Playoffs aren’t happening for this team playoffs aren’t happening for this coaching staff sadly. It’s that simple

This is year two n no excuses .

I particularly liked the run up the MIDDLE TO Christian

Do they really ? Dallas gave the blue print to beat the Panthers the Panthers The Panthers ave yet to answe

And this, sadly, Exactly Right. The question how long does-it take to see it

Jesus It is always next year with the fuging Panthers im over it

And how sad is that

What is the record again ? this team let a mediocre Washington team walk all over them

I particularly liked when he called time out to allow the Washington team more time for their last TD I hate that stupid mother fuger

My god
