There was plenty of blame to go around as the Carolina Panthers fell by the wayside on prime time. And fans laid their frustrations squarely at the feet of head coach Dave Canales for a demoralizing loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The defense did its part, securing three interceptions in the first half. Carolina's offense managed to secure just three points from these turnovers, which was utterly unacceptable. It was a leading catalyst in their demise, and Canales' play-calling was questioned once again in a high-pressure situation.
Canales abandoned the run, especially in key moments.
