What the Texan's fans are saying AFTER their loss

the thread is over 10 pages, and I'm just looking for Panthers comments...there are tons of them bewailing their team, just like here after a loss.  However, it's hard to find some posts where they give us some credit.

 

Defense had some costly penalties and mistakes. I don't know why coach doesn't put a spy on Cam. We all know once they get into third and long, it's a 85-90% chance Cam will run it. 

 

There were more negatives than positive, all in all it was a sloppy game on offense and cam killed us when he got out of the pocket.

No, we're not...the Chiefs and Panthers are not great ball clubs btw

Yes, but the Panthers arent going anywhere this year. They have no offense. Cam Newton was their entire offense did you see them play? Other teams will be able to pressure better and cover Greg Olsen and the Panthers D will have to bail them out. The Panthers and Chiefs are not great teams and we had problems against them. I can't wait to see how we play against the Patriots

 

 

Somehow we found ourselves with an opportunity to tie the game on the road. I'm not saying the Panthers were great, but at least we aren't a dumpster fire like the 49ers or Bears. Let's face it, this isn't a good team, but they'll be average again with Foster.

 

I heard a lot of people this week downplaying Carolina, which I don't know how anyone can do that when they were a playoff team the last 2 out of 3 years; (sic) this team was not going to be an easy win. It's even harder by having less than 3 yards a carry and Mallet throwing 58 times on his first start of the year.

I'm on page 15 and finally found someone who said this

For everyone that downplayed the Panthers Defense all week long and are trying to criticize the Qb or everyone for that matter, yall need to realize that the Panther front 7 is VERY good. They create lost of pressure, get lots of sacks, and wreak havoc...now put an Oline with no LT, LG, RT, and your best blocking TE out in front of that group....what do you really expect them to do or block??? They were all out of position and we have no depth to cover our injuries...

How could anyone pressure Cam better than the most amazing player in the league JJ Watt? I guess Cam caught both of those beautiful 30 yard TDs on his own too.

They should nickname JJ Watts Mr. Freeze, after we iced his ass yesterday! Yeah, offense is more than just throwing 50 yd bombs all day! Let's see how many other olines are able to shut him down like that this year

I did feel for the Texans and their OLine situation.  I mean they pulled a guy in from the street on Wed.  They had 3 guys injured... Sounds all too familiar.  That and Foster being out were a nice help for us.  Not taking anything away from our team at all, but we did get a good time to play them.

Because of our style of play, we'll be hearing a lot of the "They didn't win, we just beat ourselves" bullshit this year.

Yeah. Well. That's what we do. We make you beat yourself. Like the bully that makes his little brother hit himself with his own hand.

"Quit hittin' yourself!" Smack.

and while I don't know if it's a fact, one guy posted they dropped 14 passes.  Even if it's not true, I do remember more than one drop where their receiver was open and dropped it and I was like "we got lucky there".

knowing it and stopping it are two different things
