You and the rest of the defense — it’s sad that the offense couldn’t put points on the board, especially after the effort you and the defense put out on the field.

I’m not going to point fingers, it would be a waste of time — but I felt for the defense yesteday, you guys played way to hard to lose.

The defense did a great job on Sunday, you really did.

Giving you some more credit you guys held them to 10 points, because you can’t attribute the pick 6 to the defense, and it was great to see you guys flying around on a short field making plays.

Chris, you and the defense have been lights out this year, and all of us are proud of what you, the D, and Ron Meeks have done this year. With more tooled up offense next year, you guys will be a top 5 defense next season, I just know you guys can be that way. You have been the ones to give this team a fighting chance day in and out, and we are all proud of what you guys have done this year.

Thank you for never giving up in games, and for playing hard on every down. We all appreciate it! Just keep on pluggin along this season, because our faith in the D hasn’t been shaken at all (at least mine hasn’t).

I appreciate an actual NFL player taking the time to comment, I really do, but my frustration is out the window with this team. It’s getting to the point I hardly ever leave comments about this team anymore but here goes.

There are two reasons I see as to why the Panthers with the same 20 of 22 starters on offense from last year now sit with almost double the amount of losses from a year ago. Reason one; Jake Delhomme. He cannot get it done on offense anymore. I think some of the guys in the locker room don’t want to say this because it would create a rift in chemistry, but the bottom line is, EVERYONE, I mean even folks who are not fans of this team, all can point to his LEAGUE LEADING INTERCEPTIONS as the main culprit! Not only does he turn the ball over, but the defense scores 90% of the time when he does! Reason two; John Fox(I’m assuming he’s in charge of play calling as well). Fox’s unyeilding stubborness and unwillingness to adjust have really hurt this team. He also has a veteran loyalty to a fault but he’s tried to work on that recently.

 I’m sorry Chris, but I’m not going to sugar coat things anymore. John Fox & Jake Delhomme may be great guys off the field, but they are costing this team wins. I counted about 5 passes Delhomme threw yesterday that just sailed over/under recievers heads, or some that just floated in the air waiting to be picked off! The guy over threw Moose who’s 6’5"!!! How can you pull that off?

I really don’t want to sound negative but enough is enough. How many games does Delhomme have to turn the ball over in before we see a change? How many games have we gone in leading at halftime only to see that lead evaporate because Fox goes into turtle mode with a lead? How many times are we going to keep throwing the ball on offense when it clearly is not putting points on the board? How many ridiculous play calls do we have to watch in goal line situations where we pass on all three downs and then settle for a fieldgoal?

Sincerely,
Angry, disappointed, fed up, realist fan who’s watched this team have up and down seasons for the past 7 years

I will second that emotion.

these are the cards we’ve been dealt

That’s the gist of it. It is what it is, can’t change that. Things haven’t went our way, we’ve had some set-backs, from a fans perspective – that’s just the NFL for ya.

Glad to know you guys aren’t giving up. Regardless of what happens, we’re still going to be watching every Sunday, cheering like each game is the only one that matters. Win or lose, we’re still here.

By the way, you guys played fantastic on defense yesterday. That was awesome.

Keep on fighting. I know you and the team won’t give up.

But if the O line played uninspired, that seems to say lack of leadership? They may have had a good game plan to shut down Double Trouble. But, where is the counter strategy?

So Charlie Wies is available. He is close to Fox. How him to groom our young quaterbacks. (future players in mind)

You are truly a professional in every sense on the word. It’s amazing to see you guys hold the New York Jets to 10 points in spite of everything that happened during the game. With players like you on our side, I know our team will have good things coming in the future.

The defense got three key turnovers that kept the offense in it but i really think that no matter what people are saying, It is a game of inches. between the milimeters of trajectory off of Steve’s Cleat and one or two inches in almost every incomplete Jake Delhomme pass. In the NFL you need people who can throw the ball within inches of a target at the right speed and with precise timing, all of which Jake has lost. He has gotten to concerned about throwing interceptions that he hasn’t done much. I remember the good old days where jake would Throw it up to Steve Smith in double coverage and Steve would somehow make the catch. I also havent seen any of the smoke routes that worked so well. Get the ball to Steve Smith and you will win

Well well.. fair weather fans are in the house. You can always pick another team.
Thanks to all the pirates who jump ship when the going gets tough.
I’ll stick with the Panthers.. Win..Lose.. or Draw..

I would have liked to see the game (we have a basic package).
I did root for you guys on Sunday and wil continue too.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
