I tried telling you specifically @SBBlue that Jaycee going down would have a domino effect. 

CJ needs to get up to speed for Philadelphia this week or it’ll be a lot of the same. 

I will admit I was surprised how easily they moved the ball on the ground today though. 

I didn't say that the loss of Horn would have no impact, in fact I agree that it hurt the D.  But I didn't expect the wheels to fall off.   We couldn't stop the run.  We didn't get to the QB, almost at all.  We have said all along, that the corners locking down receivers give the line time.  Apparently our D won't work until Henderson is up to speed.

The talk about refs and holding may hold weight with our own fans but nobody else cares. We got punched in the mouth from the start and they didn't let up. Carolina ran into a more motivated opponent with a damn good oline and plenty talent of their own. In truth we seemed ill-prepared for the moment. Can't have that if a winning season is the goal.

They made halftime adjustments and we didn't. D looked fine in the 1st half. Got wrecked in the 2nd half.

 

 We didn't get the QB any better in the 1st half, despite them having more passing yards in the first half. 103 of 188 yards passing for Dallas was in the first half.

They realized at half time we weren’t showing any type of gap disciple. They adjusted and we didn’t. I do not know what Phil thought would happen but. They kept pulling linemen into the blitz and our guys weren’t strong or big enough to handle all those big bodies inside. That needs to be adjusted ASAP. We need a few looks with more big bodies in the middle. Guys holding the edge and LBs not so eager to get through the line of scrimmage after the snap. Pollard and Zeke hesitated before each run because they knew we’d come fast and once the bodies got stuck between the hog mollies they just squeezed through without being touched.

I agree with this take for the most part but we can't use this as an excuse. Defense got outplayed today. We gotta do better.

We need a true Mike. We still don't have that.

This is largely a game of momentum.  When the refs make, or do not make, obvious calls without bias, then it turns a fair game into a charade.  Shame on the refa for that.  Dak and Zeke had several great plays today.  Cannot take away their obvious talent. Would they have had as many big plays if Dallas' Oline was called for obvious holding earlier in the game?  Probably not.  But the fumble turnover that was disallowed for review is an absolute game changer for momentum. 14 point swing, potentially, and ensured Panthers would not get the chance to take over the game.  That call was utter BS...

 

Did I use the word obvious too much? Lol.

The PI call early on DJax was BS.  It was perfect coverage.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
