Top 3 Reasons The Panthers Lost Today

That was Chicago, where Josh Norman literally gave Brandon Marshall 7-10 yards cushion with outside leverage all the way down the field. They kicked a FG to win.

Oh thanks that's what I was thinking of. I don't know why I thought it was Roddy White for some reason.

Didn't Atlanta beat us in another heartbreaking game with nothing but slants?

Hopefully McDermott does some homework and doesn't let it become a trend for other teams to exploit as well. 

Man slants always beats this zone defense for YEARS. Don't hold your breath for a change

[chknwing]

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.

That technique can work when your DBs are better athletes and can close to make a break up. Players like Tillman and Jones aren't built for that. 

i think Nick Saban uses teaches the outside leverage technique in man to man. But, you know, he does have better athletes.

It was almost like ATL knew our defensive play call every time. They found the opening in the zone or did comeback routes on man. 

Defense played terrible today. As well as the OL. 

We need to draft OT's and DE's with maybe a CB the first 3 rounds.

Well we threw the ball once down field and that was 10 yards out of bounds to Philly.  We handed the ball only 5 times to our best active RB, and we ran several one look routes that left us empty on 3rd down conversions.  Long story short, play calling and execution was horrendous today.

But even Norman was getting killed by Julio on them slants. The soft zone with no press coverage is terrible and needs to stop if this team plans on winning a SB

Hindsight being what it is- this was a gigantic trap game. 

Emotionally and physically exhausting game versus Giants.

Christmas week with an away game. 

We embarrassed Atlanta last time we played them. 

Atlanta has "hope" for the post season.

Agree.

Bend but don't break scheme. The whole goal of our defense is to not get beat deep or give up the big play which happened with Julio so that was a fail, but for the most part it works. However since Ron/Sean took over particularly the last 2 years of the playoffs, teams say ok well we'll just slant you and dink & dunk down the field and its been our consistent weakness

[top dawg]

Add these to the list: Our receivers had some key drops, Shula went Shula, and we abandoned the run way too quickly.

Pass rush makes a decent secondary into extraordinary... There was no pass rush today

There's been no pass rush in weeks

[Cary Kollins]

Atlanta was 9 for 15 on 3rd down conversions at the end of the game, and 9 for 13 when the game was all but over.

You're going to lose almost every time if your opponent converts nearly 70% of third downs.

Seattle abused Remmers last year in the playoffs with speedy defensive ends. We saw the exact same thing today, where Vic Beasley beat him like a drum the whole game.

We need to give Darryl Williams a shot at RT.
