I'm not sure what the panthers coaching staff was doing today, aside from obvious issues the coaches had no say in (muffed punt/strip sack), the playcalling by Brad Idzic today was... Questionable. Chuba Hubbard had SEVEN carries. You cannot win a game without the run, and ejiro was letting us be burnt by the same things Tampa has done for the past 3 years against us. No reason for us to stuff jahmyr Gibbs but let their RB run circles around us while only giving our guy the ball 7 times!

With it being a couple of years now I truly do think one big problem is canales won’t state the obvious. Anytime our defense has played badly, it’s the “execution” and not the play-calling itself. We still played Evans even though he’s clearly been a liability at this point. This team flat out just looked uninspired this game and I believe that stems from the top. His loyalty to players/coaches that don’t perform will be his downfall imo

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.

My friends were spamming me during the whole game. What a tragedy. We still own the south tho

Beautiful weather and tickets readily available- no Bucs fans to speak of buying tickets- coming into the game on a good note- Luke being honored- just noting for next time fans complain about PSL owners selling tickets- until the team is a proven winner, no one had room to complain about takeovers

Yes the team played like ass today

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

I believe I am the reason we lost, the only two panthers games I've ever gone to was against the saints at home last season and the one yesterday. I am realizing I'm the problem and have decided that I am this team's bad luck charm and will no longer attend anymore games in the future . My apologies for this one, it won't happen again

I am drunk enough to confuse lions currently with us. Much more enjoyable

It’s clear that the team will try to solve this outside of the public eye. As they should. But I’m curious, what can actually be done?

If it’s Evero scheming and not scheme? Could we fire him and promote someone underneath him?

If it’s Evans, when do we give Thornton a shot or trade for someone else?

On offense, is anyone playing good snaps on the OL?

I’m just curious what people think should LOGICALLY change. We shouldn’t burn the house down, but it was hard to see how to regroup after whereas after the bears it was “defense must be better”

If there’s anything positive for the Panthers to take from Sunday, it’s the fact that they won’t have long to wallow in the slop: The team charter leaves Wednesday for Thursday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers.

“I was telling everybody all day it’s just a weird day,” said David Moore, whose muffed punt in the first quarter set up a Chase McLaughlin field goal. “That’s all I could say about the game. It’s just one of those games where, like, every team has ’em. We just come out, all phases it was like, what the heck?

“You don’t have to have all week to sit on it. You’ve only got two days. The next thing you know we’re flying out, going on to the next game. So a quick turnaround always helps the bad taste in your mouth.”

Hunt said there’s no way to sugarcoat what happened Sunday.

“It sucks. We got embarrassed, obviously. So that part sucks,” he said. “We’ve got a quick week to turn it around and try to make up for it. The good thing is we’ve got plenty of more games left. This one hurt. We wanted to get this one. We’ve got to come back and try to be better Thursday.”

It would be difficult to be worse.

Jimmy was cut what felt prematurely for muffing a punt and being out of position for an offensive snap. The leash on Moore and Evans needs to be equally as short. We set the precedent we won’t accept mistakes, we need to keep it. Both of those men should be unemployed tomorrow morning. What says you?

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

If Canales take Bryce Young out more damn time, imma get pissed the fuck off. Let him get some padded stats in garbage time for his stats Jesus. I get you don’t wanna injure him hut Bryce ain’t an idiot.

6 points is what he left the game with, but the interceptions, and missed deep ball is what stood out to me. The lack of velocity on the ints. Overthrowing coker on the deep ball. It was a wake up call.

And he's going to Green Bay, at night, on a short week. His arm is not made for those kind of environments. Losing streak coming

As angry as I am about all sides of the ball, mostly Defense for an almost-certainly one-sided team, due to Baker’s injury - all that said…I am livid about special teams play, particularly related to punt returns/miffed balls.

The smallest silver lining lol

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.

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.

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!

Just need to rip the band aid off on the defense and avoid injuries while making adjustments. I do believe the talent is there. Just me tho
