So who gets the blame for this loss?

On the one hand, the offense sucking in the second half, and Cam throwing 2 picks could be considered the culprit for allowing the Falcons to come back. On the other hand, the defense allowed more points in the second half than we scored all game.

I'm going to blame Mare though, cause I'm sick of his poo.

Yea you do realize the defense gave up more points because our offense set up shop for theirs right?

Offenses fault period, 0 points in the second half when the d is down to its 10th string DTs and LBs. The D played well, they deserve an ovation for their efforts actually.

Chud + Cam poo the bed.

Excusing the defense because they're supposed to suck and managed not to suck for two quarters doesn't work for me, sorry.

Coaching staff gets all the blame. The playcalling was completely horrible late in this game. How do you fail to convert on 3rd&2, 3rd&3 and the like? At one point (after Abraham jumped the line early, putting us at 1st&5) we couldn't gain a single yard for four straight downs. Rivera, run the ball at least once in that 1st&5 situation!

Then as someone said before, they played conservative late at the end of the 1st half, and Cam was shaking his head, probably the lack of energy getting to him at that point. I know Cam messed up big time, I know all too well we should have cut Mare yesteryear, but the playcalling was putrid late in the second half. If Cam is struggling, go back to a conventional running game. (Not that crappy read offense)

WTF happened to the playcalling? Starting at the end of the first half, it was like watching Foxball again.

Put that drive at the end of the half out of your mind. It didn't matter.

If we look at our first drive of the second half, we weren't going conservative. Basically 2 passes, 1 run, and 1 of the passes was pretty deep I think.

Remember we were moving the ball before Cam's terrible first interception. that was not a play call problem, that was a terrible decision on his part.

Second interception came while we were moving the ball, too, though it was after a terrible holding penalty.

Fourth drive of the quarter ended before it began with a terrible penalty.

Fifth drive the Falcons made a great play on another short pass to stop Stew short. Don't usually see Stew stopped by the first guy on what seemed a sure fire first down.

Sixth drive Mare cost us the game...

So I don't think it was playcalling through most of the 2nd half, though the run-run-screen on the fifth drive was weird and predictable.

The final drive though, 1st and 5 and we forget that we have to get a first down to keep the drive alive. Inexcusable.

      Agreed. Our coaches were better than some of the other dumpster fire teams and we played in the NFC South. That helped. Outside that, a simple look at the roster will very quickly reveal it to be the worst in Panthers franchise history. That was obvious before we had even played a game. It was funny that people were surprised we had a historically bad defense. It was so insanely obvious.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      I take the T Mac, Horn Jr,  and Renfrow additions as a direct shot over the bow when discussing XL. 1 year of dropsies and he finds himself automatically downgraded to WR2, at best, with the t Mac selection. I really hope he understands the gravity of this.  Barring unforeseen circumstances, T Mac will play all but a handful of snaps at WR1. Thielen will be on the field on all third downs, at least. guarantee. Coker will get a ton of snaps. He is just too good to be parked on the bench. JHJ will make the final 53. They will like him returning punts and kicks. He’s has good hands and elite game speed.  Dan still can’t bring himself to watch the SB from 22 years ago. How well do y’all think XL’s 3 drops on the final drive of the Eagles game went over? Dan is as serious as a heart attack when it comes to winning and losing. I don’t see him waiting patiently with developing XL if he is killing drives and/or costing the team games. Look no further than Ginn’s career to see what happens to first rounders with suspect hands.  I’m crazy, yes, but I do think that if Coker comes on, T Mac is who we hope he is and XL has another year of dropsies, he may end up as trade bait. Coker is going to continue to up his already impressive game. I don’t think anyone will argue that. He has a chip. JHJ has a chip. Thielen is Mr first down. XL better show growth.  I just don’t see Dan as the type who is patient with projects.
