“Thielen Calls Out Controversial Catch as Panthers Suffer Heartbreaking Loss to Packers: Can They Redeem Season in Final Push?”

In a nail-biting showdown, the Carolina Panthers faced a 33-30 defeat against the Green Bay Packers, further dimming their season record to 2-14. Bryce Young and Adam Thielen displayed commendable efforts for the Panthers, yet fell short. Thielen, however, raised concerns about the officiating, particularly spotlighting a controversial catch by Green Bay’s Romeo Doubs.

Expressing his viewpoint, Thielen asserted, “In my opinion, the ball moved twice, so there wasn’t enough time to control the ball…You can slow-mo it and say [he had control], but full speed that’s a no-catch.” Thielen suggested that playing against the Packers often leads to them benefiting from favorable calls.

Despite Thielen’s frustration with the officiating, he acknowledged the Panthers’ need for better execution on all fronts to secure victory. He concluded by giving credit to Green Bay for their exceptional playmaking, acknowledging their prowess in moving the ball and putting points on the board against a formidable defense.

While Jordan Love emerged victorious in the QB battle, rookie Bryce Young showcased a solid performance, throwing for 312 yards and two TDs. Thielen himself had a notable day, amassing 94 yards on six receptions.

Looking ahead, the Panthers have two remaining opportunities to salvage some wins in the concluding stretch of the 2023-24 season.
