Say what you want about the refs, the players let it get in their heads.  Just a young team that needs more mental toughness.   

Which is why I disagree with Rivera's approach for the second half.  Harbaugh was encouraging his guys to be agitators and keep pushing it and make the refs get involved - I believe because he knew the game was bent officiated in his favor.  So Rivera told our guys to "calm down?"  

 

We we needed to match their intensity.  When we calmed down, the wheels fell off.

young team...they will learn and the veterans that are on 1 yr deals know this team is on the verge and love playing for this team and staff because its a family.  bring back gross...of course Mitchell...one of the most physical players that brings other players up a level...we might lose Hardy but we just need a WR and some OL help....secondary we have some young guys that are learning...KEEP POUNDING! 

 

Agreed. It is a young team that is still learning. Hopefully they will use this experience to fuel their pursuit of returning to the play offs next season and righting the wrongs of today's game. 

 

Like you say, Gettleman and co needs to bring in some OL help, and go out and get a big time receiver and perhaps a dynamic tight end. The base for a competitive team is here, so hopefully this is just the start of the Panthers becoming a very competitive team.

PLEASE re-sign this man

he's become one of my favorite Panthers

 

 

I don't know if he fits into the "calm down" Panthers that ol' Ron wants though.

 

I mean, Ron has the perfect OC for the "calm down" offense we run.

 

Now its time to do the same to the defense.  He "calmed" then down perfectly in the 2nd half today.

I liked our playcalling for the most part. The first half was awesome. We were throwing the ball great.. and some of those run plays with Cam were great. Don't forget we were playing against a super good defense. Gross did a amazing job holding back Aldon Smith. He fought his ass off. Most of the sacks were from Cam moving around the pocket and just getting in the open. The flags in the first really fuging killed us and gave them 6 points and Im sure made our D restless. Thats not an excuse though. They played great on goal line.

 

 

Hey we will be back next year. Hope these boys can come back with a fire. This team this year had me feeling like I was on it...

That works if the game is called fairly. IT WAS NOT and Rivera was prob right. The only way we were going to win was not cut out the PF they kept throwing on us.

@joeperson

Rivera heard screaming at players for being emotional. Sounds absolutely indignant. Said we hoped San Fran would play bad, they didn't. Players should just accept it. It was a good ride but they did have Joe Montana 3 decades ago after all and we just didn't get lucky.

 

 

What.

 

The.

 

Holy.

 

Fug.

 

Please tell me what you just posted is a joke?

It's so fuging sad and crazy it could only happen to this team...I've never heard poo like that from anywhere else.

 

Calm down guys...you put 10 whole points on the board...now go out there and milk 8 minutes off the clock when you are down 2 scores and come away with nothing!

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 2m

Cam blamed himself for the failed QB sneak on 4th-and-1. Said he told coaches to call his number, thought he could make it.

 

 

 

Should have been from the damned shot-gun formation.

 

Time and again, when Cam has space to work and find a hole, he gets it.  I've seen it here and in Auburn over and over and over.

 

But Shula puts him under center.

Typically I'd agree with you, but not in this case.  If we kept pushing the issue, there is no way the refs could've kept calling the game the way they were.  When we were in their face , even with the penalties, the game was close.  When we backed off the team lost their edge.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
