Our defense made McCaffery look like Barry Sanders 2.0, key penalties stopped drives and kept their's going. Our blazing speed WR takes plays off in crunch time. Typical team meltdown so let's blame the QB.
When the fact is Dalton played a pretty decent game all things considered. Had we had AJ, Mixon, Burfict, and Price I'm sure we could have won even with the shower curtain D.
From what I saw, it looks like Carolina used the old playoff formula to beat us. Run it down our throat, very few pass attempts.
That said, it looks like we had opportunities to win this one. I imagine with Mixon, Price and Burfict, this would've been a different game.
We NEED those guys back.
