Not-so-Special Teams

[Mags FTW]

Caused a huge momentum swing last week by allowing a huge return just before the half, and now with their crappy punts and return coverage here is where Carolina started their drives today:

CAR 30
CAR 49<---crappy punt
GNB 42
CAR 30
CAR 45<---crappy coverage
CAR 20
GNB 17
CAR 34
CAR 20
CAR 21
GNB 50<---crappy coverage
CAR 45<---crappy coverage
CAR 39

4 times today we basically handed CAR at least 3 points. This is the same special teams that was great last year, single-handedly winning the PHI game. What gives?

You can tell who is on the Special Teams because they wear their helmets when their not playing too

Bad play calling by MM and bad defense played huge roles in the loss, but wow, those long returns were bad breaking. Between turnovers, bad punts, and long returns, the Panthers started most of their drives past the 40 yard line. Worst loss of the year IMO, we hand them the game.
