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...

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
