Cam Lost the Game. Plain and Simple.

He fumbled and lost the 1st down. Atlanta capitalized. There is no further analysis required. Newton doesn't fumble, Panthers run out the clock and win the game. He has to learn to tuck that ball away.

Update.

Ok I should have explained this a bit further. This thread is a response to all the I hate the coaches threads. The coaches called a great game and put this team in a position to win. Its up to the players to execute and not make mistakes. Rivera and company have been preaching ball security. Cam did not practice that philosophy on that play. He cannot be that careless with the ball. His mistake, led to a panthers loss.

You're right. Wanted to spread the love around a little though:

Steve Smith lost the game. He doesn't fumble on the hand-off, Atlanta doesn't get an auto TD (he also sulked afterwards).

Nakamura lost the game. If he wasn't such a baddie, we don't gift Atl 50+ yards at the end of the game (or gift Roddy with 2 touchdowns).

Coaching lost the game. If Rivera new what a play clock was, or trusted the highest paid backfield in the league to get one yard, we could have closed it out.

    • And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection. 
    • It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
