Missed opportunities for Carolina Panthers defense
The Carolina Panthers were missing a spark on both sides of the football. But it could have been much different had any of the multiple turnover opportunities resulted in points.
These are chances that a team like the Panthers cannot afford to waste. And the defensive frailties that are coming up over the past three games are a microcosm of how things are currently developing in Carolina.
Jeremy Chinn and Stephon Gilmore were guilty of dropping sure-fire interceptions in the first half. One of which came with an Atlanta Falcons touchdown just a few short plays later.
Again, this is all about execution.
The harshest of learning curves for a young Panthers team who are in the midst of even more turmoil right now.
Someone with the experience Matt Ryan has is only going to let you off the hook for so long. It also helped their run-left calls also seemed to be catching the Panthers off guard despite this being one of Atlanta’s strengths during the season.
There are so many holes in this team it’s hard to know where to begin. With under $30 million in cap space currently and multiple senior figures looking for new deals, it’s going to be yet another eventful offseason and one the Panthers have to knock out of the park.
