Panthers vs. Falcons: 5 takeaways from an embarrassing Week 11 loss for Carolina.

Here are a few takeaways from the embarrassing loss.

Kyle Allen had his worst game yet

On Carolina’s first possession of the game, Allen made a terrible mistake by trying to get rid of the ball as he was getting taken down by Takk McKinley. De’Vondre Campbell picked off his ill-advised pass. Allen followed that error up by making another grotesque throw in the end zone, mirroring the interception he threw last week against the Packers. Allen finished the afternoon with four picks and completed just 31 of his 50 passes. It may be time to consider giving Will Grier a chance to show what he can do.
