I haven’t seen it mentioned since the gameday thread but what in the hell was that squib kick about to start the second half? That was just dumb.

 

I imagine the coaches must have seen something on tape, which it didn't exactly go as planned obviously. The best part is FOX showed a graphic how the Panthers were the best team in terms of limiting opponents field position on kickoffs. Whoops

What do you see on tape that makes you want to squib it? That’s a seriously question. Usually you’re just trying to catch the opponent off guard and maybe get a guy to mishandle and fumble. Rivera was just so weird that game. Don’t go for it on 4th and inches with a guy who has converted all but two 4th and 1s his entire career but then decide to squib kick to start the second half? Just really weird decisions from Rivera.

I have been a big Rivera supporter, but I was pissed about not going for it on 4th and inches at midfield at the start of the game.  We have the best short yardage QB in history and you punt.

Set the tone for the whole game... and it was embarrassing.  It's certainly not why we lost, but it was gutless.

I missed the context, but can somehow please explain to me what the hell "inclement weather" had to do with us losing yesterday?

I mean, jeez...

They had to practice in a ballroom because we have no indoor facility. Practicing installations in an event space rather than on a practice field could create some issues. He never said it was weather at the game.

LOL! You guys get so bent out of shape that an NFL coach doesn't apologize to you every week for not winning the game and making you sad about the Panthers. Plenty of coaches make mea culpas on the podium and continue to suck. Dirk Koetter can take the blame(and he should) all he wants, as vocally as he wants, they're still going to suck. 

Hilarious. 

Rivera doesn’t make excuses and continues to such, so there is that

Agreed. I like Rivera, I do, but he makes sooooo many questionable decisions. The best running qb in history and we punt...baffling.

Weather, scheme and situation, tweaked shoulders, fortunes of football....

 

 

don't forget the coordinator turnover. 

Damn  Ron.  Translation:  "I dont have a domed practice field, our coaches are more focused on schemes than putting the best players on the field, we got some boo boos and lady luck don't like us like she did last week. 

This was pathetic.  The players were confused and they did not seem focused.  You do not need a dome to keep them  from jumping offsides.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
