Smarter coaching realizes that they have Mike Evans, Wirfs and a dominating run game and we don’t. I said it when they used this as the excuse for Wilks (please, I’m not rehashing)… nobody is going to stop a motivated Mike Evans when a capable QB has an all pro LT watching his back. Nobody. 

We needed a long drive churn the clock and beat their brains in strategy that we had last week. Wear their defense down. Nope. 

I think he desperately wanted, and thought we could go point for point on our way to hanging a 40 burger on his old team with a qb everyone had given up on… sound familiar?

Refs and Eddy took 10 points off the board in regulation. 

Chuba fumble in OT. 

Defense continues to show a complete inability to stop the run.

Countless (at least 5) drops by the offense. 

Would i have liked for him to go for at least one of, if not both of those 4th and short on the first 3 FG drives? Absolutely, but Canales and Bryce 1000% were not the issue today.

Everybody is a fuging expert that should be head coaches winning playoff games. Sports absolutely bring out the dumbest poo ever.

Not sure why you didn’t become a head coach in the NFL instead of a doctor, teacher, accountant, electrician, burger flipper… whatever career you decided on.

Jesus Christ people of just poo.

I have a problem with abandoning the run game in these games.  The play calling can be suspect but mostly was OK minus throwing the run game out the window.  What he's done with Bryce so far is pretty impressive though.  I agree with others, I think he may need to find a different playcaller and just be the HC.  I also wish he would stop the prevent which keeps giving up leads but I guess he doesn't want to overstep with the DC.

But at the end of the day, Canales didn't make the refs cheat and screw us out of a TD or Pineiro miss two field goals.  It's always going to be an uphill battle with the defense (more specifically the run defense) till we fill those holes.

It's good everyone is mad about losing because some weeks ago we didn't expect to win anything but if we look at Bryce's improvement that's huge.  You have to have a QB in this league and one that can win you games and he's looking like he "may" be that.  We just have to build a better team.

But I was sad we lost for sure but I'm blaming the refs damnit.

He coached afraid today that’s for sure, but if the players execute we win today. 

If he didn’t act like a pussy, we win the game by 10 or more. Lots of poo slinging in here but OP has some points. I watched it in person and the crowd was moaning the entire game as we kept playing conservative and it bit us in the ass multiple times. We left a lot of points on the board as if we were just trying to make sure we had a home game in the playoffs not like a team that has nothing to lose. Hekker and Eddie weren’t on their game and we continued to defer to them. I’d rather we got stuffed on every short yardage 4th down and our team learned from it as if it were practice than not give them a chance to get them.

He shouldn’t ever coach afraid. We aren’t KC who has Mahomes (and the refs) to win in the end. We need to go for it because we aren’t a good team yet and it’s the only way we win games.

It was just really frustrating to dominate the game for 3 quarters and go down by one after a single fourth quarter drive.

yeah, I don't get conservative play for a bottom rung team that isn't actually going to do anything.   Be aggressive and go for points.  4th and 1 should often be a no brainer.   You got nothing to lose.

Canales coached like all the rest of the coaches we've ever had. Scared to take a chance. 

Ron finally learned to riverboat.. Hopefully canales can too

Only because he thought he was fired already and then the name stuck. That man owes Cam his entire career. Never had a winning season without him.

I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take. 

We are miles better than we were week 1. 

 

If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
