Maybe Joe Brady was somewhere behind the scenes conspiring with the refs to make the Panthers look bad too right?

They overcame a downright sh1tty performance, which I thought was impossible until the 4th qtr. Like I said earlier, the roughing call hurt but I can live with it. However, that spike was intentional grounding, was flagged and overturned. In the end, it cost the game…

Football has been around for a long time.  If you lose because of the refs.  You still lost.  We put ourselves in position for the refs to be able to "impact" the game.  Because our team was unprepared, we had a bad gameplan, and stunk all game. 

Matt Rhule post game said he didn't believe the Browns could get in FG position in a minute.  He must not watch a lot of football then.  Because NFL teams routinely pull that off at the end of games. 

and the dope was left at the end of the game w/ a timeout.  Should of used it like the Broncos did week 1 in the Super Bowl rematch. 

Yes, the refs sucked.  Yes, they botched calls that last drive.  Refs botch calls.  They do it all game, in every game. 

In the end the better team won.  It is what it is.  But it would have been nice if they at least got the fake spike right.  Maybe if Matt Rhule knew how bad they botched it like he said....he should of gone apeshit in game on the refs about it and tired to get something done.  Didn't see that happen either.   That was the game.  And he didn't seem to care that much IMO. 

Who gets credit for coming back and making it a game? Seriously, I’m not sold on Rhule either, but to blame this loss on him is just fuging blind hatred.

This is what gets me, they realized after they made the call that it ended the game with a runoff. Forget about how crappy we played or whatever most people are trying to counter with, at its core, that penalty was a game ender. These grey area penalties are nothing but ways for the NFL to nudge games in the direction they want.

I mean, the loss is on Matt Rhule.  He had a very poorly prepared team.  He had a very poor gameplan on both sides of the ball.  He had poor in game management. That's reality. 

Now, could we of walked out with a win if the refs did their properly on the final drive? Sure. 

But too much gets put on final drives scenarios and refs.  Refs impact the game w/ bad calls from start to finish.   You can't leave it up to the refs to get one call right or wrong at the end.   

What Carolina did for 59 minutes got them the L.

Who else is to blame for the team looking completely unprepared if not the head coach?

It is 100% Rhule’s fault, there is no doubt about that. But we also got screwed by the refs on the last drive. Not mutually exclusive.

I loved this from the Raleigh Observer (?):

“And as much as people will point to a questionable roughing-the-passer penalty on Brian Burns that jump-started the Browns’ winning drive and set up their long-range field goal for a 26-24 win, much of the blame lies where it so often does, on a head coach who managed to both settle for a field goal and leave too much time on the clock at the end, a pair of decisions that came back to bite him on each cheek.

There’s a gym class somewhere missing Matt Rhule, whose team managed to look like 53 guys who were meeting for the first time in the first half only to be let down, once they figured things out, by their coach’s decision-making at the most critical moment in the second…

Rhule even walked away with a timeout in his pocket after the Panthers got the ball back with 8 seconds to go, for all the world looking like a guy pulling a Full Costanza after finding out the Nebraska job was open. If the Panthers had any trophies, he’d be dragging them around the parking lot right now. That, at least, would have been a Rhule decision fans could get behind.”

Because…that caused the defense to allow 217 yards rushing 

no pressure on the QB

not being able to wrap on tackle

an ol that was horrible 

a qb who couldn’t take a snap

not using the star player…their only star more than 14 times

a coach who didn’t declare his starter qb and his starting line until the last preseason game (for one qtr)

the list goes on and one but yeah, the refs ‘screwed them’.  The organization screwed themselves hiring Rhule

Not discrediting all of that, despite that we still should have won be it not for the refs. They gave this one to the Browns

      Evero HC requests!

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      No, both instances of references to the defense were specific to the run defense.  I should have said "run defense" the 2nd time.  You admit there has been ample personal issue but then use those stats to support your argument. I'm not arguing on the effectiveness of his specific scheme overall.  I'm saying he is only now getting the proper personal to run his scheme.  The stats are the stats and while I don't disagree with any of what you're saying, 3 years of those stats are based on the Panthers front office not giving him the tools to run a competitive NFL defense until this year with D. Brown getting healthy and the additional of Tre'von Moehrig. I want to see his defense when we don't have multiple key starter positions manned with players who would IMHO are not starting level players.  With some talent  I say all this while not being a big fan of his scheme.  I would prefer a 4-3 but that's neither here or there. And yes, I would call getting requests and interviews from other teams who want to hire him good evidence that he may be a pretty good DC and has a lot of potential as a HC. In 2022 he had HC requests from the Broncos, Colts, and Texans.  He also had requests for DC from the Vikings, Falcons and the Panthers.  We hired him to be our DC. In 2023 it was the Falcons, Raiders and Seahawks for a HC position. In 2024 the Falcons, Seahawks and the Panthers interviewd him for HC.  We blocked the Jags from a DC interview. In 2025 (which is this years hiring cycle) so far its the Falcons, Raiders and just today the Steelers, all for the HC position.

      The Giants still may be crap but they just improved somewhat by hiring Harbaugh,

      Yeah I was almost going to mention the finger but he did so well last week after whatever they did to it at halftime I let it go. It could get hit and messed up worse, it is a weak point.    Weather and home field crowd in Chicago are huge challenges no doubt. I can’t really be confident in LA but the inexperience of Chicago in a game with this stuff at stake is likely to be a factor, enough to make it hard to be confident in them. So who knows….
