This team is done

[Chaos]

The piss poor tackling is what troubles me the most. We all know special teams is a joke, but tackling fundamentals???? Sherrod Martin, I'm talking to you homie.

tackling has become a problem all across the league.. it was before the new cba agreement, and now that practices have changed, it's only going to become worse..

The season is done, the team certainly not.

with the number of rookies, injuries and 1 year NFL players in the squad i am rather happy.

GO PANTHERS!

Titans seemed to know how to tackle.

Did it pretty well, seems to me, in the open field, against our 6'5" QB.

Coaches can prepare the team all they want, guys have to go out and execute... not saying our coaching is perfect but they didn't coach these guys into fumbles, missed tackles, etc...

Bad day for the offense, defense just doesn't have the talent... ST coach may need to go.

Tackling is all about technique. If guys still can't tackle in the middle of the season IMO the coaches need to teach them better technique.

I blame all the rule changes. With all the things that draw a flag, you have to actually think about the tackle instead of just playing naturally.

I mean no disrespect to Bleys in my tongue in check response to the 'CBA and tackling'

The Panthers simply are not a good team and we cannot will them to be what they are not.

As Parcells rightfully has said 'you are what your record says you are'.

The Panthers are what 4-21 over the past 2 years.

What does that say? ...and it really does not matter the reason.

Their only hope is spend the next 3 off seasons drafting well and making the right free agent decisions. Do that, and with Newton they have a chance...

...don't do that, and we have what we have now:

Olindo Mare

Armanti Edwards

Everette Brown (waived)

Dwayne Jarrett

the list is long, we all know it.

Staying too long with injured players, AGAIN: Otah and Davis.

When players show you what they are, believe them.

As for me, I'm getting older, not sure how many more years I can afford tickets or have the wherewithall to drive from Raleigh to Charlotte to watch this mess.

I hope they improve soon.

I was at that Nashville gang rape yesterday, and I left after the third quarter when it became apparent that there was nothing to stick around for. I knew how the day was going to go when Olsen's fumble and a kickoff return touchdown set the tone. It just got worse from there. I think I'm going to take a break from the Panthers for the rest of the year, as I don't have the time, money, or spirit to watch it anymore. I feel like the last two years have been a complete waste of time and energy (with the exception of a glimmer of hope provided by Cam Newton). So until they give me a reason to give a damn, I think I'll find someone else to watch on Sundays, and get my football fix from high school and college.

Say what you want about John Fox but when the going got tough he kept his team fighting. This team seems to express Rivera's frustration. We are a team right now just waiting to lose not win.

Come on Colts!
