Cam Newton, speaks the truth, and not ONLY because it's the political answer:

Cam, I couldn't agree more.

It is only the PC answer. Mare had an opportunity to send it to OT and he did not. He was set up in position to score at the end of the game and failed to deliver.

Sure we could've scored 9000 points and beat the Vikigns 9000 - 24 and not had it come down to a FG but that's just bullshit to defend a teammate. When you have opportunities you have to cash-in and depending on the point in the game, they are all the more important and significant. You can make up for a poor 3rd quarter drive. You can't make up for a missed short FG when there isn't enough time to get the ball back.

How many missed oportunities did Cam blow today. He touched the ball way more than anyone else. Cept maybe the vikes.

I can't understand what you're trying to tell us over 6 morale victories.

I've never bought into the "moral victories" mindset.

The only other time this season that I've been as angry as I was today, was after the Arizona loss.

This team has given away 6 games. Why should I be happy about "rebuilding", when you're giving away games, instead of just being beaten.

They left 14 first quarter points on the field against the Packers inside the 20. Got the ball back a couple of times against Arizona and went 3 and out while they had the lead. Of course they were robbed by the officials in Chicago, but only coming away with 3 on the first drive that game hurt in the end. They killed themselves at the end of the 1st half against Atlanta, when they should've been running the ball instead of throwing to the endzone anyway, which eliminated an opportunity to try to get some separation beginning of the 2nd half. Don't even get me started on 3 & 2 against the Saints, and then today's lackluster offensive performance after the first possession in the 2nd half, where the Panthers' offense played dead until the last drive of the game.

"Moral victories" my behind. They've beaten themselves over and over again. Minnesota's defense made ZERO big plays in the 2nd Half, nothing memorable, yet the Panthers went 3 and out and got nothing going, just because of going through the motions?

They deserved to lose. I know that. Cam knows it. And anyone who looks at the "whole" game instead of just one player or play knows it to. They had opportunities to put Minnesota away and didn't SEIZE THEM.

The Panthers do not have any difference makers on special teams and certainly not defense. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Not one player on defense or special teams that makes a difference in a game through the past 8 games.

Not one forced fumble. Not one stopped drive. Not one game winning return of a punt or kickoff or blocked kick. Nothing.

It is an awful lot to ask a seasoned QB must less a rookie QB to always be the one to make plays.

I don't blame Mare for losing the game. I blame Mare for failing to do the one thing he is paid to do. Kick field goals.

I disagree, OP. Ask Mare and I bet he'll say the missed FG is on him and that he could've made it.

He's already said that.

It still wasn't a fluid possession. Doesn't matter. Mare prevented them from going into overtime. The holding penalty prevented them from winning the game with a Touchdown.

The loss was a team effort. There's no guarantee they'd have won in overtime, and they had more than enough opportunities to put it away in regulation.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
