Top 3 Reasons The Panthers Lost Today

Im beginning to think zone D is the best we can do. We cant really play physical man D with Tillman and Finnegan starting at corner thats just asking to much. It really blew me how we continue to run the same defense all game when Atlanta kept exploiting it with slants and out routes. Losing Bene really hurt us more than i wanted it too. We just gotta find a way to make it work.

I actually missed this game today due to work, so ultimately it's hard to comment on what lost us the game.  I did see the first two drives from the recording of the game and a couple of highlights from Sportscenter.  The defense didn't play well, yet before Julio had that big catch for a touchdown, we had a 10-7 lead in the fourth quarter. (It could have been late third quarter)  Where in the world was our offense today?  Did Atlanta have very long drives when they had the ball? (I know they had the ball for 15+ minutes in their first drive that was aided by the Tillman penalty)  I say the offense lost us this game.

Something I noticed rewatching. 

1. Remmers was beat the same way on every single time Cam got pressured. I do mean the exact same bad kick back not lining up his hips so the defender got outside leverage and pushed him around. Every time that happened Cam got hit, fumbled, or threw an errant pass by mikes guy.

2. Our WRs were pushed, held, and manhandled past the 5yd mark that's allowed. Not a single flag or anything. On the missed pass to Ginn, brown was running up and I believe was Cams next option. But Philly's defender practically tackled Brown 12 yds past the line of scrimmage. So Newton tried to force it to Ginn. Atlanta was allowed to take our WRs out of the game all day with no repricusions.

3. On devontes touchdown. The Olineman ran up grabbed Luke who was on his way to stop the run. The Olineman then tackled Luke in the middle of the field and in the process knocking josh out of the way. So only Tillman was left to stop Freeman. Not a single call on any of that. 

4. Almost every 3rd down they converted either CJ or Kony were very close to a sack but each time the lineman let them get outside angle and then push them to the ground. They were on their knees or faces every time. This is a problem. Even though it kept happening they kept doing it.

this was a strategic loss by Ron.  he knew there was no way anything atl did could stop them.  so he gave the other playoff teams he may face game tape on how to beat the panthers.  They will use atls game plan and fail miserably.  Ron has said repeatedly in press conference the goal is not 16-0. the goal is the superbowl.

This is what I believe as in no way Carolina actually got beat by the mangina of a team.

Hmm, interesting...

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
