  3. This one hurt. Yeah, the refs screwed us, don't get me wrong. But 19 rushing yards? That botched flea flicker/whatever Dowdle was doing (I haven't forgotten Dallas when Dowdle told Leggete to pitch it to him). The int before half that led to a Tampa FG…. Got beat on all fronts. Beat by Tampa, the refs, and ourselves

  9. Dave “missed opportunities” Canales. I would still be okay keeping him as the figure head, but it’s clear this offseason that Dan needs to prioritize bringing new coaching breath to this team. Let EJ walk, and bring in a more established play caller to challenge and compliment Dave.

    CSW/Wallace/Sanders need their positions challenged in the draft, and I’m banging the table to make a deal work for Maxx Crosby. The receiving core of McMillan, Coker, and Horn Jr. did their thing today tho

  12. Our fanbase is absolutely ridiculous we exceeded expectations even if we don't make playoffs…im happy we're getting better and all you goof balls blaming Bryce he threw for 270 and 2 tds without him we had no chance bc Rico and Chubba hadn't ran good lately and especially this game… but all you guys do is complain and hate just to hate…I been a die hard fan since the very beginning when we were playing in Clemson at Death Valley…like I said we exceeded expectations no matter what happens at the end… and with Dan drafting good and picking up some good pieces in FA we'll be even better next yr and in the yrs to come…

  13. Praying for The Falcons to Win!!! Praying The Carolina Panthers are crowned the NFC South Champions by a Miracle tomorrow!!! Go Panthers!!! Keep Pounding!!! 🙏🙏🙏✝✝✝🏈🏈🏈!!! Expecting a Miracle!!!

  14. Please dont forget that Dave has this team overachieving right now so don’t be discouraged about the loss. If still we make playoffs then that truly show you how seriously good of coach Dave really is especially being in his 2nd year inheriting one of the if not the worst roster in nfl past 2-3 years. KEEP POUNDING

  15. Selfish head coach. He’s not cutting it as an offensive coordinator, but refuses to give it up. Our offense is so boring, but he will blame it on the players instead of realizing it’s him.

  17. "I'm really proud of our guys battling and doing a good job."

    His literal answer to the first question regarding the bad calls:

    "I don't want to get into that because we just didn't play well."

    This guy is a bullshit artist cosplaying as an NFL HC and OC. Fire him.

  21. Bucs had the worst defense in the league and you got 19 rushing yards had 7 points for the longest the points came off a turnover 😂, Dave knows what’s up he’s a damn good coach that’s why the Bucs hired him, be accountable can only blame yourself much respect to coach and be honest do the panthers really want to be in the playoffs this game was weak af the south weak af Bucs ain’t trippin they got 2 rings and 4 consecutive division titles Bucs lost every game down the stretch and the Panthers fans still mad 😂

  25. Dave and Bryce say the same shit every press conference. Missed opportunities Missed opportunities. Excuses run out, and championship football caliber teams don't miss opportunities, they capitalize

  26. It's time to hire an experienced offensive coordinator. The play calling is stale and inconsistent. It will free up Canales as HC and we will have a better offense. It's a win-win.

  27. 19 rushing yards, that is sad. Dave got 5 plays he calls. Opponents know what they are, every time. Not good to be predictable. Maybe sit out next year dave.

  28. This game was RIGGED. It's time for the Panthers organization to take serious action against this league given how they officiated this monstrosity and the second Saints game.

  31. classy guy I have to admit. I too think the panthers have a lot to be proud of. they had a great year, well see if the Falcons Falcon lol. but fact is neither team deserves the championship. the south sux hahaha, but yes the panthers had a fantastic year. But for the facts… pound it is a bux thing think up your own new statements…. have you seen raise the flag? yes pound the rock is a bucs saying…. come on man refs calls? lol watch the bucs season, did you see the game where the refs called back 2 winfield tds?

  33. I like Dave overall he has a good mindset except for defending those BS Ref calls they weren't ok whatever. Panthers would have won.
    Refs lied for example the said backwards pass went out of bounds. Blatantly lying Refs

  35. Play calling, play calling, play calling….. all year the same issues. Yes we played against the refs, thats obvious but damn you cant beat Bowles defense when you know what's coming.

  37. You absolutely failed, Dave. YOU. Not this offense. YOU. A flea flicker in the red zone? No onside kick after the late TD? Losing the kick puts you in the exact situation you were already in anyways, so you NEED the opportunity to get the ball back, this is beyond obvious and shouldn't need to be spelled out in Youtube comment! You better spend this offseason completely reflecting on your absolute failings as an offensive playcaller and your complete mismanagement of the offensive philosophy as a whole. The Panthers are not the 2010s Seahawks, trying to ground and pound and take the occasional deep shot will keep this offense completely schizophrenic from week-to-week. Find a legitimate OC and hand them the offense or expect to be looking for a new job after next year.
