Bucs score 20 points in this span and basically put the game away, I mean let’s be honest  

I’m pointing the finger at Canales here. You know what you’re working with on offense and defense. Offense has got to shorten the game to keep the defense off the field as much as they can. 

even if we assume the panthers don’t care about wins and only want “game experience” or whatever, you’re not doing young players any favors putting them down three scores like that. 

Canales is a very cute play caller. He can pregame a very nifty little opening drive. Doesn’t matter if you’re not crafting the game plan to help the injured defense, or putting young players in a position that they can at least compete. 

supposed some offensive whiz kid? Ehhhhhh

If there's one valid criticism of Canales, it's him deciding to get overly pass happy which is exactly what he did after that opening drive. I get it. We don't have Chuba or Moton but the Bucs were playing as though we would pass every down and we played right into their hands, not only putting more pressure on a compromised O-line but also forcing our defense to play a lot more minutes that they simply could not afford to do on any day but especially today without Horn.

I would hope he learns not to do this next season but every coach in the NFL has a bad tendency and this may be the one we're stuck with going forward.

The Panthers roam, but find no prey,

Lost in the woods, they stray and sway,

Once feared, now just a shadow's trace,

Fumbling through the endless race.

 

The offense sputters, like a dying flame, 

No spark, no fire, everyone to blame-

The quarterback, with hopes once high, 

Now throws the ball just to watch it fly. 

 

The defense stiffens, yet they bend, 

Unable to break the losing trend.

The roar of the crowd turns into sighs, 

As each new loss falls from the skies.

 

Another season of struggle, just 3 wins to claim,

And yet, the team plays on the same-

With hearts of hope, but minds unclear,

The Panthers chase the end of the year.

 

Oh, Carolina, where did you go?

The strength you had, the fire, the flow-

Now all we see if a team that fights, 

But can't seem to find the winning heights. 

 

Still, the fans hold on, though worn and torn, 

For next year's hope will soon be born.

In this cruel dance, we wait, we cry, 

For the Panthers to roar again, up to the sky.

I think we were just put into a tough position. We had to answer every drive with a TD to make this a competitive game. 
 

Today really highlighted how good Chubba is. He’s not elite athletically but his vision is top of the league. They didn’t run the ball because they don’t trust Blackshear. 
 

The defense is completely depleted of talent. No coaching around that.

I mean, I think people considered him more of a QB whisperer than offensive whiz kid or young offensive mind. Either way, he was like a dozen spots down the list.

There's much to unpack here.

I think Canales has faults and we'll have plenty of time in the offseason to dissect that. But this roster on the defensive side of the ball is total ass and that's ultimately on the GM. We put all our eggs in the offense basket to the tune of 150 million free agency dollars and 1st and 2nd round picks. And other than the crappy Raiders and Cardinals overall through the season we have maxed out at comical scoring levels. I mean we went to overtime against the truly terrible Giants with 17 points and Daniel Jones was trying to give the game away. Today was just more of the same.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
