DE's only got one sack today.......

There were at least two by defensive ends I think.  If you go by the play by play, Addison had two although in the box score, it only shows one.  Regardless, I do think the Dline got decent pressure on Winston today.  Not great, but better than the last few games.  Of course, we had our best game of the season against Tampa earlier, so I hope its not just an aberration.

Love got a sack.  But Addison only got one too.

On a play like that it could have happened at any time, and it coulda happened in two weeks time too, just gotta accept it, only way you'd prevent it is him shutting down for the season

It's getting sad at this point.

I thought McClain played great, he made some really sure handed tackles. Didn't he also have a pick?

He did play great for a guy who was just signed a few days ago. Now he has two more weeks to get acclimated to this defense. I would hate to see Peanut go on IR, but I don't think it will hurt the team that much, if at all.

with that field so tore up, shouldn't have been in game

[Manos]

If Tilman goes on ir(I hope it isn't that serious) do they sign someone off the street or promote someone off the practice squad?

One thing is for certain: you can't please everyone. If RR had pulled starters and the Bucs came back like NYG, he'd Beth's dumbest coach ever. I like RR philosophy of "you can't play scared". This is what these guys do. This is there job. The Panthers have landed on uncharted territory and need to maintain there rhythm...

That knee was held together with hopes, dreams, and duct tape.  A 34 year old partially torn ACL probably isn't gonna stay together.  That's just the facts of life.

Really liked what I saw from McClain and Ron didn't say it was season ending. It is concerning when a guy with a partially torn knee has another knee injury BUT I'm not here to second gues coaching decisions because I don't know all ofbthebfacotrs going into the decision. Enjoy the ride folks.

What everyone is mad about is we had a VERY comfortable lead AS WELL as the Cards getting stomped at the exact moment Tillman got hurt. I know they said they didn't have the scoreboard on, but I know 100% that somebody told Rivera the score of the Cards/Hawks game at halftime, not to mention our already big lead on the Bucs.

There was zero reason to have the starters in.  Zero

Disagree, with the 2nd half letdowns, I was glad to see our guys close out strong. Just an unfortunate injury, they happen.

This.

I love Peanut.  But Peanut isn't actually a good CB at this point in terms of coverage ability.   It was a matter of when.  

It is a manageable injury.  Defiantly need to decrease CJ and Allens reps.  That is what matters in terms of our CBs.  Allen can't even beat a Buc rookie LT.

it was non contact. if your going to blame anyone blame JR for being a greedy son of a gun and wanting dat sweet bowl game revenue.
