CHILLS: It was the longest game the Carolina Panthers have ever played. It was also the most thrilling
Their 29-23 playoff win on the road at St. Louis on January 10, 2004, was an extraordinary contest. Whenever Panthers fans talk about the most exciting games in team history, this one generally gets the most votes for No. 1. If you can find an old videotape of the game or at least highlights from it online, it's worth your time
The game wasn't decided until the first play of the sixth quarter, when quarterback Jake Delhomme found Steve Smith streaking down the middle of the field on a third-and-14 from Carolina's own 31. An untouched Smith took the ball 69 yards for a touchdown, spreading his arms wide as he sprinted into the end zone in St. Louis and throwing a blanket of silence over the crowd
"I threw the ball, but it was really all Steve," Delhomme said later. "I just thought it would be a first down. He made the play. He made the catch. He made people miss. He made the touch- down. It was amazing."

Even with all the injuries, this @Panthers team could easily be 5-3 or even 6-2. So what's holding this team back? I believe that's an easy riddle to solve. Leadership - that's the missing piece to this puzzle. Even most of my criticism of Bryce Young could be quickly resolved with the right leadership.
Dave Canales stated when he took ownership of the head coaching position that he wanted "a player-led team." Well, that hasn't worked out. Even as the roster has improved, discipline has lagged behind. So far, the @Panthers have been penalized 70 times for 635 yards. Only the Cowboys have given up more yards to penalties.
Canales likes to talk about accountability, but there seems to be none when it comes to discipline on the football field. A few less false starts and this team is sitting at 6-2.
It's been a rough first half to this season, but amazingly the @Panthers are still leading the division. But I don't want to win this division again with a losing record.
As more of the Panthers' starters return from injuries, they have a good chance to finish the year out strong. But for that to become a reality, our head coach needs to find a backbone and take charge of this team.
No more accepting poor execution. No more pep talks smoothing over the refs' bad calls. No more hyping up players that aren't producing on game day. That means you, XL.
And if Canales can't make the change, then Tepper needs to step in and do some Tepper-kind of things.

The PR department is stepping in after seeing fans, discontent Canales’ lack of response over the officiating, and the teams lack of discipline.
Panthers see the positive results from Canales' calm approach

Sources are stating that the challenge flag was not thrown until after the next play was snapped.
The Panthers were robbed!

As much as I want to like Dave Canales, I can't ever see him making this team successful.
He's simply too agreeable. I have never yet heard him become confrontational or combative with anyone.
If the refs make bad calls, he's okay with it.
If the offensive line protects nothing, he's okay with that.
50 penalties for 300 yards a game, no worries.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: a coach has to build a fire under his players. He also needs to show them that he will fight for the win as hard as they do.
It's fine to be a nice guy, but a coach has to have an iron hammer he's willing to use when called for.
