As Fox was showing the graphic and replays of missed chances to score Cam fumbles.

 

The gameplans on both sides of the ball have not been bad. However, there is NO margin of error for this team.

 

Steve Smith jumps up and down like he wins the lottery when he gets a first down and now I know why. Dude dropped the easiest TD he may get all season.

 

Lafell is hit right in the chest on a 4th and 1 the whole fan base has been asking for.

 

 

The Panthers are like a good hearted crack head. He really wants to do better but can't say no to very dumb things and always seems to have bad drama going on around him.

I'm glad that thus far I haven't seen many people harping on the 4th down decision in the first half, because I thought it was a good decision, and a good play call that had our #2 reciever just flat out poo the bed.  Second half is where crap really got bad, but although I'm pissed with Rivera, this game was more on very poor play by the players than anything.  Smitty is no longer a #1, and Lafell has no business being more than a #3-4 with his stone hands and ability to become the invisible man.  Ginn is sadly our best, and most consistent reciever right now.

IMO, its mostly mental by now.  We have lost so many close ones that we expect to lose when we go into the 4th quarter.  While I don't blame Rivera for all of it, I do think its going to take a complete change of staff, and maybe a few personnel as well, to fix it.  In truth we had the same issue in 2001/2002.  Great defense, crappy offense and a lot of close losses.

at the end of the day we have to stop "settling"..... settling on resting the plays that actual brought the success that kept us in the game, settling for starting below average players (O-LINE) in key positions, settling on not making proper personnel adjustments (coaching staff), and certainly settling on having a do it later or eventually within the game mentality! we can't win like this! and we don't deserve to get lucky! we deserve  as many heartbreaking sunday buttkickings  until we fix all of these issues not to mention our "Defensive- Minded" head coach

    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round. 
    • I think I legitimately may be a cursed sports fan. I am sorry yall
