These are semantics. We see teams take out starters all the time in run away games. It's not a new thing. We lost our starting TE on the first play from scrimmage, then a special teams player. By this time of year I think it's fair to say the kids have earned their money. And it makes sense not to have unnecessary risk at the end of a game that has clearly been decided already, especially considering the magnitude of next week's game on the road. I get your point, but at the same time... this isn't what was to take from this game.

It’s not semantics, I don’t even recall college coaches taking a knee with two minutes to go, jmo. It’s football players get hurt, you don’t quit.

But they are professionals, not college or high school players. They understand the situation and the reason. Trust me, they're beating themselves for the loss, not even giving the knell down a second thought. I think these guys like playing for Canales. I don't sense locker room strife with these guys. Trust me, I get where you're coming from, it a fair take. But at that point in the game it's not perceived as quitting. Who's to say he didn't ask the team? Stands to reason if a key player can get hurt on the first play of the game, a key player can on the last play. Imagine that discussion? If Dowdle goes down on a play that is meaningless when they are playing for the title next week?

Dave is 1000% the problem. He waits until last minute to try and take a shot. I don’t even believe Bryce is the problem anymore. Go try and play QB on madden forced to play in a 10 yard window with pressure and nothing but check down routes.

bryce has had me livid in moments but when he’s free to play something good happens more often than not. I’m good with the 5th year, but Dave has got to wake tf up or gtfo

He looks pretty bad...but when your QB is bad, well.... he's not this offensive guru genius he thinks he is...he needs an OC

Yeah, I'm not sure why Dave, as an inexperienced head coach, has decided to take the reigns as the play caller on offense. It hasn't been a good look for him this year, especially after today. Typically, if the defense holds a team to 16 points you should be able to win. We've seen this defense exceed expectations and make crucial stops and turnovers. Just to watch the offense not take advantage. Panthers are losing because of the offense and it's as clear as day.

Moving the ball down field and getting close to scoring position, and you do a trick play, on a wet field no less. My, oh my.

Yeah, I will never understand that play. There's a REAL lack of situational awareness going on with the play calling.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
