No rhythm on offense today.

That could have been expected coming off a bye week with a Rookie QB, following a lost. Not the first time that's happened in history.

Cam was leaning back every time he threw it today even if there was no pressure in his face, and the Offense never recovered after that Olsen fumble, both of which are inexcusable.

So who do you blame for the Offense never waking up, when the whole world knows they can do better?

The QB? The OC? The Head Coach?

In this case, I blame the Head Coach. Rivera's the guy who is in charge of ENERGIZING the team. If they start off flat, and remain flat throughout, it's all on him.

This is a reality check...This team WILL NEVER win if the defense does not get it together. When the offense have a great day, the team loses. When the offense have a bad day, the team loses bad. The Panthers DO NOT have a DEFENSE. U can make all the excuses in the world. It does not seem to matter WHO this team plays. The opposing team have a great chance to win than the Panthers.

I've blamed the Defense all year.

Today was NOT the Defense's fault. It was all on the Offense. How do you blame the Defense for a 3 point outing? Sure, Tennessee scored 30 points, but that was only because the Offense never kept the ball long enough to keep them off the field.

Today, it was all on Rivera for allowing the Offense to play DEAD from start to finish.

we've had dozens of flat games over the last decade.. one reason Fox was fired.. if this is the only one we have, I'll be happy.. I doubt it will be under the circumstances of new staff, young team, injuries, and no offseason..

if Rivera allows this to become a trend, he will be fired too..

What genius decided to run all those screens against a defense featuring Will Witherspoon? Dude is known, above anything else, for completely pwning screen passes.

'Spoon was killing everything. O Line not allowing down-field throws. WTF happened??

How bout this:

These guys are highly paid professional atheletes and coaches!

There should be no hang overs from previous game losses or bye weeks!

They should show up - fired up to play every time they walk on the field!

There is no excuse for lack of preparation or discipline!

You can't "mail in" the effort... coaching or playing!

if for no other reason than....

They are highly paid professional atheletes and coaches!

This could be the best post of yours I have read and completely agree. I feel like the throws he made leaning back was a mental thing. The titans got so much pressure I don't think cam was fully there mentally. That is something that hopefully will come with experience, he seems like a guy who will eventually be able to keep it cool when everything in a game is going wrong.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
