What a gloomy victory

[Yaboychris28]

Hard to enjoy this win. Our coaching staff proves again they can't make 2nd half adjustments. Plus, our best player Luke most likely has another concussion.

wins a win but this was so ugly and frustrating

starting to question rivera in late game situations, he's reverting back to pre 2013 rivera.

 

and Wr and O line should be the main priority going into the off-season

usually i'd tell you a win is a win, enjoy it, but i didn't enjoy this win at all.

From Luke's injury to the absolute meltdown in the 2nd half and the horrendous conservative playcalling by our coaching staff that single handedly let the Saints back in the game is troubling to say the least. 

if we want any shot of getting back in this thing, the coaching staff needs to make some drastic changes in their approach

milking the clock like we were doing in the late 3rd early 4th was cringing

Seeing our key players falling chip by chip.

Was a scary sight indeed.

[Paa Langfart]

Would rather lose this game than possibility of another Keek concussion.  Shades of D Morgan beginning to appear and I really fear for Lukes long term health - that was a scary look he had on his face. n Would rather see him retire early than take a chance on long term problems.

The stadium was definitely holding its breath with Luke down. And that continued until the clock said 00:00.

It also felt like we were playing against the refs tonight, especially in the 2nd half. That was roughing the passer on CJ?? That wasn't pass interference against Stewart??? That wasn't blatant holding when Coleman was pulled down by the hand by a blocker??? A NO d-lineman runs into Chris Scott at center before the ball is snapped & that's not defensive encroachment?? We get hit with block-in-the-back & NO doesn't??? Refs completely ignored all the offensive holding too.

It sure beats having the same injuries and losing.

Well, to be honest, that CJ play wasn't smart. He didn't do much, but, he didn't need to do any of that.

 

And there is no pass interference behind the line of scrimmage.

 

Other than that. Fans complain about the refs after every game. Bitching about the refs is not exclusive to the Panthers.

[GRWatcher]

Thanks! I didn't know that about no PI behind the line of scrimmage. There was a lot of ref booing tonight so it wasn't just me, a single fan, feeling this way. And Brees has perfected the art of flopping.

[iamhubby1]

Yeah, brees is a wuss. But CJ had to know better. That said. If I had a chance to hit brees, I would have taken it too. I don't hate many players, but brees is one of them.

[truthjuice]

Wow, like I mentioned last week: loose, fans bitching; win, fans bitching. It wasn't pretty but we won. We acknowledged and accepted that our coaches half ass it or get too conservative but we did it. What is there to bitch about this week?

Cam might need to learn how to flop around. That RTP Drew got, I've seen worse. Even Chris Collingsworth and Al Michaels mentioned the bad calls. Rodney did as well so it's not just us.
