Um, major props to our Oline.  Remmers might be the MVP.   Also, Ginn had some good returns, and that clutch TD.  Philly Brown too a beautiful TD catch, and Cotchery a really clutch reception.   I don't know why everyone is moaning so much.

Sure, there were some bad penalties and some blown plays, but really, there is quite a bit to be encouraged about re: how our offense performed against one of the toughest D's in the league.  Too close at the end.  Those Kony penalties and that blocked FG were awful.  But we won.  I'll take ugly.  We'll get better.

You're right.

I took it a little too far.

But there's still this: we have players that can make it happen on the field.  I am of the firm position that we have a coaching staff, from the head down (ESPECIALLY the head) who is scared to fugging death to let them try.

Are our WRs poo?  Is our OL patch-work?  Are some of our DBs old?  If the answer to all or any of those is 'yes', its not near the hindrance to the team that Ron Rivera and his "I'm scared to do anything because gosh it might be risky" philosophy is to this team.

By the way, here's a nice stat courtesy of BBR:

 

Houston’s Horrid Ground Game

It’s hard to win in the NFL without a run game, and the Texans don’t have one without injured back Arian Foster. They gained just 24 yards on 11 carries in the first half and just 37 more in the second. It’s the eighth time in their last nine regular-season games that the Panthers have held an opponent below 100 rushing yards. It was the first time they’ve done it despite being without LB Luke Kuechly and DT Star Lotulelei.

FFS why is it you people can't appreciate good defensive football? We've played violent, close and in your face defence and the digging pansy bellends on here want Romo or Big Ben football with Ginn and Cotchery as our receivers.

no wonder there are so many steeler fans on digging Charlotte. Bunch of pussies this fan base is.

So WRs continuing to drop the ball and waaay too many penalties isn't ugly? A patchwork OL and rotating QBs isn't ugly?

FOH

Defensive struggles are one thing, incompetent offenses are another.

They went for it. They just failed. Why would you throw a 20 yard pass to Olsen on 3rd & 9 instead of just picking up 5 yards and setting up a more manageable FG attempt? These guys are stupid. Yes, I want them to take shots down the field, but not when one "simple" play is all you need to make it easier right at the end of the game. They still don't know when the right time is to do what, lol.

Is that on the coaches or does Cam share some of the blame for that?  If I remember correctly,on that particular play Brown was wide open for a short gain over the middle.

this is an awesome stat, and one our fan base just doesn't appreciate. We've beaten our opponents by dragging their offences into the mud and punching them in the balls. 

The unfortunate thing is our first quarter offence is right there in the mud with them, but there is improvement and this o line is definitely gelling.

I don't like how we John Fox it up and dial back the defense when they're sitting on a lead. It almost came back to bite em'.

The pass rush IS NOT getting there and a good QB would have carved us up today.

As DE's usually take three years to develop Ealy isn't a true #1 yet, and it shows at times. Lack of foresight bit them and continues to bite em'. You let the 3rd best player on your team walk and he is immediately employed by a playoff team. 

IF Bowers can play they should have called the guy already. Oh, I forgot...

Perhaps the BEST STAT OF THE GAME which I don't think anyone's mentioned.....

If I'm right, I think we got through this with no injuries?!?!?!  

I have to confess I was cursing up a blue streak when it looked like we were losing both Turner & Cotch early.  I was thrilled they came back in and played the rest of the game.  Well done.

Did you watch the game? There were a lot of guys banged up. Whether they kept playing or not does not mean they are not injured.

Edit: Not trying to get on your case man. I just feel we got even more banged up.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
