MeowMix: A Carolina Panthers Podcast

Panthers Self Sabotage in Loss (AUDIO FIXED)

·53 min·5 clips
Panthers fans Steven and Jerry rage after a winnable game is lost due to missed kicks, a fumble, and controversial officiating.
Steven and Jerry open with a frustrated rant about the Panthers' loss, citing specific failures by Piñeiro, Hubbard, and referees. They discuss the emotional impact, as a win would have kept faint playoff hopes alive after Atlanta's loss. Bryce Young's performance is a central theme, with the hosts noting his 26-of-46 for 298 yards and a touchdown, arguing he played well enough to win. They dissect a key moment where Adam Thielen's touchdown catch was overturned, calling it a bad call that changed the game. Defensive improvements are highlighted, particularly the pass rush from DJ Wonnum, Jadeveon Clowney, and Amaré Barno, while run defense remains a weakness. The hosts defend defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, crediting him for maximizing a talent-deficient unit. Play-calling is criticized, with Dave Canales calling 49 passes versus 18 runs, which may have contributed to Hubbard's fumble. Statistics are reviewed, including Young's numbers, Thielen's 8 catches for 99 yards, and Tampa Bay's Baker Mayfield's 235 yards with two interceptions. Comments from listeners are addressed, covering topics like drafting needs, kicker health, and Bryce Young's resurgence. The hosts assign heroes (Bryce Young) and zeros (Piñeiro and Hubbard) for the game. They conclude by reflecting on the team's progress compared to earlier depressing losses and look ahead to the Philadelphia Eagles game.
