This is so simple.  Ron's playing the long con.  The teams we face in the playoff's will for the most part study the last 3 games on film. Ron is trolling them.  We've been in cover 3 for 2 weeks.  No pass rush.   It's all a smoke screen.

LOL.  Would love it if you're right.   Somewhere today, forget where, I read speculation that Belichick actually wanted the Pats to lose yesterday for strategic purposes... (Want the Jets in the playoffs and not the Steelers).

Stategery, eh?  Time will tell...

The TD Whiff on Ryan stuck out to me all day.

Going for hard hit rather than just tackling.

Bingo..........Ryan making a move on TD?..........TD had a head full of steam ready to put him out of the game instead of just completing the play and forcing them to punt.......almost pulled my hair out of my head on that one.

I wanted to start off by saying this isn't a thread to bitch or anything, I'm not that upset about the loss because it will help us in the long run. But did anyone notice that the entire team played with absolutely no urgency? Luke/TD/Norman were all making weak tackles, or not even making the tackles at all. One two occasions I saw Kuechly stand still instead of helping the team wrap up Freeman. That's not how Luke plays, ever. The defense constantly left Norman and Tillman in 1 on 1 situations that ultimately caused us to lose the game. It was almost like we dumbed down the play calling and didn't want to go full speed. Maybe we got cocky and thought we could coast to a win, but I got the vibe that the Panthers really didn't care if they won that game or not.

Whatdda ya say?

14-1, Keep Pounding.

I can't recall a single "big play" that was made all game.  We definitely missed a lot of opportunities..We had several big drops on third down..Philly had one, and Greg had one.. but we made it so much harder on ourselves from our lack of big plays..No ints, no 40+ yard completions, etc.  Its hard to score points when you are having to move down the field 10 yards at a time..A lot of people missed plays, but at the end of the day, I put this on the offense because 13 points aint good enough to win games in this league.

I heard something interesting on NFL Network a few days ago.  An old coach (Can't remember who, but they were from a long time ago) said "Five big plays will usually win the game for you. Five is the goal."  Very interesting to think about..Its one of those things that probably hasnt changed over the years.

Luke also missed some fairly easy audibles. At one point, I believe in e fourth, Ryan was doing the hard count, and Roman Harper came down and showed his hand. Ryan then audibles, obviously it would be to send someone up the seam or switch the run play, and Luke made no adjustments. Freeman runs for a first down after Ryan flips the run.

I was yelling at the TV when it happened and I'm still upset about it as that was a microcosm of this game.

Seemed like many of the players were getting too caught up in the moment and taking their eyes off the ultimate prize.  It is understandable with all the hype in the media.

Falcons may have given the Panthers the best gift they've received this Christmas, a reality check.

Yup.  I made the "distractions" thread last week, and all I heard was, we are OK, this is a tight team, they take it one game at a time, etc......

That is a load of crap, these guys are human too.  We just had too many irons in the fire, and hopefully Atlanta embarrassing us on almost national TV will get these guys in shape.

Interesting stat.  This is probably true based on what I've seen in my stat analysis this year.   I'm not up to date in my data entry given travel & Christmas (and also a sprained left wrist which is making it hard to type), but through week 13 (at New Orleans) we were averaging 4 rushing big plays  (10+ yards) and 2 big passing plays (25+ yards) per game - obviously all wins. (figures are rounded slightly)

Our opponents were averaging 2 big rushing plays, and 1 big passing play per game.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
