Panthers Got The L Out The Way. Adjustments Now Must Be Made

I must admit I wanted this to happen. The pressure of going undefeated and winning the SB is a lot. This L also forces adjustments that a W covers up

1. In the playoffs you gotta run man coverage. Teams putting their best WR in the slot to free him up. No pressure and our zone get ripped. It has the last 2 playoffs. I watched Kaep and Wilson look like Brady. One thing about our zone which bothers me the most is lack of press coverage. DB's just letting WR's run freely off the LOS wtf jam their asses. Panthers supposed to be an aggressive tough playing defense. Get that soft zone poo the fug outta here

2. Speaking of no pressure, Allen-CJ are getting too many snaps and not getting to the QB. Rotation of DE's is a must. CJ is done, sad but its the truth

3. Shula play-calling is confusing with 1-2 yards to gain. Throwing the ball, running zone read. Man just power run it and pick up the 1st down

4. Watching game tape on the panthers offense, blitz and taking away the deep ball will be the game-plan. Offense has to do a better job of picking it up. We also need Funchess badly to be that possession WR

5. FG team, although done good today. I'll be damned if we get blocked in the playoffs that send us home. I know Nortman-Gano pattern when it come to kicking field goals, I'm sure opponents can study it too

Not buying this at all. Every problem we had today has been there all season and we've come close more than once it just got us this game.

Not buying the whole "blame it on the pressure to go unbeaten"

I didnt say we lost because of the pressure, but as strahan-howie-jimmy pointed out on Fox, going undefeated is draining. Players tend to focus more going 16-0 than their opponent they're playing

Main reason we lost is cause lack of adjustments. Falcons got demolished 2 weeks ago and made adjustments. Panthers need to do some changes. I'm ready to see more Tre Boston too along with Teddy Williams at corner. I know history show Ron doing a good job putting more players in and out of the rotation and getting success from it

The Zone Defense needs to be revisited. I think your point about the receivers catching balls in the slot is spot on. I have confidence in Rivera and McDermott and think they will make the adjustments. I'm just trying to figure out if they are waiting to make the switch for the big game or if there is another reason they are holding back. We need more QB pressure too, because it's giving these WRs more time to break free from their routes to convert on big downs.

 

I'd say let Norman shut down his guy and push Safety help over to the other DBs. It's time to lean on our talented guys to come up big.

I don't know. The more I think about it, the team just looked completley lost out their today across the board. Something is up. Initially I wanted to blame it on pressure but I don't think so anymore. The entire team seemed uninterested, lost, and care free. Can't really blame it on focus considering a win today would have locked up HFA. Something is defintley up. Nobody even seemed to care after the game was over.

Here's a recommended adjustment:

STOP PLAYING ZONE ON 3RD AND LONG.

But, according to WhineAboutIt, the fact that the Panthers DID play zone on 3rd and long and let Ryan complete almost 80% of his passes and let them have a 3rd down conversion rate upwards of 75% or more is Cam's fault.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
