Refs are always going to influence the game that’s why you have to go for the win and not play scared. Rhule coaches scared.

exactly.  This game is squarely on the Panthers for losing it.  Anyone who says otherwise has the losing team mentality ( blame the refs for one bad call when the team played like dog poo the entire time )

You guys just want to blame Rhule. We lost because of a garbage penalty that handed the Browns 15 yards and time enough to kick the FG. Playing for a FG and making them use all of their timeouts was a good call.

Rhule sucks but damn that loss was 100% on that ridiculous call. 

Rhule deserves 100% of the blame with his putrid game plan and then the last crap going for the FG.  You cannot put the game on the D with how bad they were playing, then in the crooked refs hands.

It's also pretty silly though to swipe away the bad calls that happen all the time.  But copium I get it.

I am trying to be mad about this but we did storm back in a way that we don't normally ever do in the post-Cam era.

I will put it this way, consider how dogshit we looked all game and still almost won it.

So, I guess the question is are we going to still continue to be dogshit all season or are we gonna dial it in? If we lessen the mistakes and plug some obvious holes, we could actually be mediocre.

Or are we going to find more creative ways to lose f*cking games?

Terrible coaching at the end, can’t believe they didn’t even try for the touchdown one time when they were that close. I mean come on at least once if it wasn’t there throw the ball out the back of the end zone. Ridiculous that the team fights back and has the coaches blow it for them.

 

To be fair I think they were going for a TD on that first play where Baker fumbled his 4th snap of the game.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
