Face it: the Panthers have one of the best defenses in the NFL

lol at a defense not being able to hold a 8 point lead...under a min with no TOs...

This is the same defense that could not stop ATL at the one with no TOs...and let Cutler drive right down the field for the go ahead score...

I EXPECT my defense to hold on to leads with less than a minute...

They get paid too...

Rivera "if we could have made something happen in 4 minute offense, game over " #panthernation

Did Rivera really say that? What we did was basically give Tampa the game with the play calls the last drive. On another note, Cam 11-12 passing in the second half.

Holy crap, Rivera is dumb as poo.

Rivera holds true to form. Throw someone else under the bus. In this case it's the offense and Chud. Normally that's a good play, but today, I think the last group you blame for the loss is the offense.

Rivera never takes responsibility. I really don't know how we could have been so wrong about his abilities as a coach.
