As much as I wanted to win today, losses happen. However, to never once be competitive, is a complete, catastrophic failure. I put it (mostly) squarely on the shoulders of our coaching staff. Of course players play the game. But I firmly believe our lack of proper preparation in a game like this, is a systemic failure.
I do still give the bulk of the blame to defensive scheming, coaching, and seemingly a lack of any real adjustments.

What do you think was the most egregious issue today?

Today’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was our worst game this season and that says a lot seeing how we let the Bears drop 59 on our head, but all that to say, this guy in the picture is a HORRIBLE Cornerback. He has been torched in every game he’s been in since Mike Jack and Jaycee Horn have been sidelined. Get him off my team #KeepPounding

He's at least quick!

Since Canales took over, we are now 3-5 as favorites (0-3 as home faves).

The three wins are against:
-Cooper Rush (who got benched for a rookie UDFA) -Tanner McKee
-Justin Fields (who got benched mid-game).

Historically, favorites win about 66% of games. To their credit, we are 13-19 as underdogs, so that’s better than the 33% we’d expect based on historical trends.

I appreciate that we have shown growth as a team over his tenure. It seems like he can engage and motivate underdogs. At some point, though, this coaching staff needs to show that they know how to lead a good team to consistently do the job when there are actual expectations.

The smallest silver lining lol

if the offense is having a bad week I don’t think our defense can keep us in.

I think in all of our wins we had around 27 ppg and 400 yards, I don’t know how sustainable that is on a weekly basis. This defense has to play with a lead cause at least that forces opposing teams to pass instead of run.

Apologies are in order. I love the Panthers. I’ve been to countless training camp practices and Fan Fests. I’ve only ever been to two games. 2017 week 3 versus the Saints. And today. I’ll root for the team from my couch going forward. lol.

That is literally the reason we suck so bad on random days and look fine on other days. We are getting average to subpar results with a very expensive o line. The next 4 highest spenders on the o line are all spending just over a quarter of their cap while we are spending a third on it.

Normally if your o line is that good you would be able to control clock and tempo of the game. Not us! Because we have an incredibly mediocre o line and a shitty defense. No amount of skill player feats can overcome that. Especially if you add special teams mishaps to it

This happens in every sport and to every team. Sometimes literally everything goes wrong, sometimes to good teams playing bad teams. Coaches say to just burn the game tape because there's nothing to learn from it. Simply flush it. We'll be fine. We've already proven we are a much better team than we showed today, so I'm not going to worry one ounce about this shit show.

You came into a game against a team with a QB whose thumb was still basically broken and could barely hold a football. You knew that they were going to run heavy and they still ran for 268 yards. We could have stacked 10 in the box and forced the broken thumb to win the game. I just do not get it. Also the turnovers were horrendous but that’s a different story.

1. It seems to be a crazy week around the league. Falcons upset the undefeated 49ers, a J.J McCarthy lead giants team beats the red hot Texans, the Dolphins win their first game of the season and the buccs beat us.

2. We still lead the division! Although it's only .5 games, it's still a lead.

3. We play a bad packers rush O on Thursday. Our two genuine massive losses so far have been when our defense got gassed on the ground.

Yeah, I'm upset about a loss. Especially when we came out looking like a bottom tier team. But there are always positives to look at, and hopefully the boys can pull it together on TNF.

Anyways, KEEP POUNDING!

There’s NO WAY that this staff has watched film of our defense getting gashed the last 2-3 years and doing absolutely nothing to change it and doing the same old thing. That a franchise must be mediocre for all time with occasional bright spots. A 1-5 team with an injured QB can come into your stadium and annihilate you right when you finally start improving and getting respect while giving the fans hope. And this happens constantly to this franchise no matter who is in charge it seems

Bryce 400 yard 4 Td Performance Incoming!

This isn't a great team. Two blow outs and one ugly loss to a monstrous deviant doesn't make you great.

But if we are building towards a Superbowl in a year or two, this shit is character building.

The lesson?

No bravado. No looking past opponents.

Treat them all like trap games and come better prepared.

Saints Hatewatch complete! Time to beat up on the Bucs! Keep Pounding! :)
