Refs screwed us

It's probably been said several times in here already, but if a game against a Jacoby Brissett-led team that you've had months to prepare for comes down to a blown call, you lost no matter what. That first quarter and change that I was able to watch was ugly, ugly, ugly.

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.”

Yeah and if there’s an interception, the Huddle blames Rhule for not running the ball and kicking a FG.

Tipped balls, fumbled snaps, missed tackles, kicking the ball out of bounds… poo happens and they rebounded. They should’ve won but didn’t but you stick to your agenda.

When a team makes more of those kinds of mistakes than they should, it shows lack of preparation. And that's on coaching.

Also pretty sure nobody keeps track of "should have won" anymore than they do" moral victories", "what if this had happened instead" or any other conjecture.

Likewise, I've never seen a head coach get credited for games they might have won or could have won if things have just gone a little differently.

If that makes you feel better about Matt Rhule, go for it.

Doesn't really work for me.

I can't argue with this... This staff has 16 more to be better or be gone..

What Carolina did for 59 minutes got them the L. 

We had the lead at the end of 59 minutes, so that is patently false.  Arguing that we should always have an insurmountable lead with a minute left shows a lack of understanding of the modern NFL.

The last minute got us the L, with a lot of help from the refs.

BTW time to settle up.  Here's your avatar:

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The entire OP is about the play calling and results and only mentioned T-Mac one time, in the sense of our offensive struggles only made me more frustrated about our #1 WR only getting a single 2nd half target in a game we were behind for the majority of it. How is that showing my true colors? It's way more of other people reading too much into it and thinking this is all and only about T-Mac for me, but it's not.  He just happens to be the player that I specifically was upset by his 2nd half usage, but it had nothing to do with my personal feelings towards him, but that he's our only legitimate WR and he had a single target in the 2nd half after going for 73 yards in the first. To me, that is a very legitimate play calling gripe, the win or particular player aside.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Achilles · Posted

      We’re stuck with Bryce for now.  He led TWO drives where we came from behind to take the lead. One of them was the winning drive and he threw the winning TD. Taken as a whole…he played at expectation after the 1st quarter. That’s not so bad under the circumstances.  We got the win. Maybe they’ll struggle to build on it but a win is a win. He drove the offense down and took the lead when it was needed. You can’t take that away from him.    We’re not changing QBs anytime soon.  Or owners.  So…when they win, we should take it at face value and give credit where it’s due.  Bryce came up big in clutch moments. You can’t take that away from him.
