Actually he went up too early and then the ball went beyond his alligator arms by three feet. He said he lost it in the lights. But Newton gave him a great pass and Funchess was in single coverage.  It should have been caught to erase the questional intentional grounding call.

Yep. Before the pass even got there, Funchess let the safety manhandle him and boxed him out, which lead to the half ass attempt at a jump. Like bro, you're fuggin 6'4 225 in single coverage against a safety, GO AND GET THAT SH*T. Hell, if he even tried to fight back for the ball instead of that weak attempt at a jump, he MAYBE would have gotten a PI call.

And yeah, that intentional grounding call was bullsh*t. It was clear he was out of the box, even the other refs tried to argue it. But just another game where the Panthers get screwed over by the refs. God just talking about this game again got my adrenaline pumping. Don't even get me started on Clay dropping that PERFECT TD pass from Cam.

Man, I still believe we would’ve made a SB run if we win that game. Cam was electric that game, and that was after the subpar last game vs ATL.

Oh well, gotta move on.

That Saints game was the worst. He was dogshit. Half of the people on this board could have done a better job and I mean that.  Played like a 5’8” amputee. Even when he made catches, he stabbed and clapped at it two times before securing it. I really can’t fathom someone with such terrible hand eye coordination making it that far.

If theres one pick in panthers history that I hated the most- its this turd. he was lazy, soft, and didnt lay out for that beautiful Cam pass in the saints playoff game. 

Was 1st team all-pro at having cramps, joke of a player.

6'4, plays like he's 5'9.

say what you will but at least when KB tried he put up results.

Dont forget we BEAT the Vikings a month earlier, lost to the MVP wentz eagles by 5 and BEAT the pats that season as well. Its damn hard to beat a team three times and that third game was by far the closest, a break here or there and the panthers would have had a chance.

There was one player I absolutely detested in the 2015 draft was Funchess. 6'4, moving from TE to WR where he couldn't outrun college guys, and was lanky as fug so couldn't even move back to TE. And we drafted him. And we traded up for it. 

I never took as much copium for any player as I did for fuging Devin Funchess.  Every season he'd win my "fug this guy in particular" award (last year it belonged to Whitehead) but every offseason I'd delude myself into thinking "Nah he'll get it together this season!" only for the cycle to fuging repeat.

Imagine, just imagine if we stayed pat in the 2015 draft and take, say, Tyler Lockett because Gettleman's headass didn't think Cam couldn't hit anything shorter than 6'3. Imagine SB50 with Lockett instead of Funch because remember even Corey "Philly" Brown was cookin Talib's bitch ass that game.

I fuging hate this franchise.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
