It's a final: Rams 20, Panthers 10

In perhaps the Carolina Panthers' worst showing in St. Louis in 2001, they lost 48-14 to the Rams.

That day, poor Matt Lytle was 15-of-25 for 126 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions.

Sunday was awfully familiar.

Matt Moore and the Panthers offense took a major step back Sunday, losing 20-10 in as inept a display of offense as they've had all year.

Moore was 23-of-36 for 194 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions.

The only time he looked competent at all was in two-minute situations, which accounted for the second-quarter field goal and the fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell.

Steve Smith can no longer complain about enough action. Moore looked his way often, but he had at least two egregious drops and fumbled early in the fourth quarter to allow the Rams to salt this one away.

The loss drops the Panthers to 1-6, meaning they're going to have to work hard to get that benchmark 7-9 record.

The Panthers ran for just 25 yards on the day. Jonathan Stewart had 14 carries for 30 yards, and the 11-yard loss on a reverse by David Gettis caused them to back up from there.

      It's a failing of most first time HCs. I get an OC not being a defensive expert but they do play the other side every week so it always amazes me that poop slides so often. First year? Sure but as time goes on they need to be a HC and have a balanced and good team in the end. They went offense for that reason and the QB issues the team had. They had to go WR again this year because they failed so hard last year at that position in the first. That's on both the HC and GM on that miss IMO. This year they went out and got a bunch of free agents and drafted more on the D. It just doesn't appear they did it well again. Add in keeping Evero and missing out on an expensive free agent, thankfully but it would have lessened the cap gap in spending, it's not like they didn't try. It's more of an issue of competency than cap. Building around Evero after last year is damning for thr GM and HC. That's the biggest issue. They just didn't do any of it well. Now they have some younger talent and I don't think there is a decent coach in that house.

      Inside linebacker is basically non existent. And that goes against everything that has been Carolina Panthers for a couple decades now. And that is just one such area that has suffered as we have paid through the nose to build up our offense around a bad investment.

      Thats why its going to suck spending another top 10 pick on a qb instead of an elite Lb, pass rusher or whatever.  but it what it is and you have to have a qb to win in this league
