Cosst us the game.

You can piss and moan about bad officating (there was a bit of it).

You can piss and moan about the lack of running in the second half.

You can piss and moan about steve smith having an off day.

Despite that, we still had a chance to win the game,

The game was lost by rookie mistakes.

The good news is, cam will get to the point he doesn't make those mistakes. He'll be one of the best to play the game.

Also want to give a shout out to our defense. So many turn overs, short fields, and they kept us in the game against the champs, arguably the best offense in the league.

This game was lost in the 1st half. The Panthers should've had 17 to 24 points at halftime. Those lost points dictated how the 2nd half unfolded.

Those rookie mistakes hurt, but you had a lot of veteran mistakes, as well, like the Steve Smith fumble, the penalties in the first half, and the two TD passes where Naanee came out of his break slower than he should.

When your qb is making mistakes in the redzone, they are much bigger. Qb touches the ball every offensive snap. Those mistakes are costly. Ignore it if you must, to praise the guy...he still cost us the game.

The only QB "mistakes" I saw in the red zone were the obsession with getting touchdowns instead of just making sure that you get the 1st down.

Regardless of what Mora said on those two Naanee passes, I have no doubt that Shockey, Olsen, or Smith would have caught one of those passes.

NAANEE REACTS TOO SLOWLY.

He's playing slower than the play, not Cam Newton.

How bout laying the blame where it is due? The OC set Cam up for failure by completely ignoring the run. Packers & Dom Capers are smart enough to know, just drop back & if you throw 90% of the time, something bad will happen. NO quarterback would be able to have success in that scenario. Chud really must establish a running game.

^Soooooo this! This thing about taking what they give us is starting to ring hollow. We use to be able to run relatively effectively with 9 in the box in year's past and we go 90%+ pass now just with one extra guy in the box? Really?

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      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!!

      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.
