The Panthers have a lot to work through in a short week, after injuries and a suspension.

The Panthers were obviously disappointed with Monday's result. But they also know in a short week, they don't have the "luxury" to think big picture.

On moving forward, with the Rams on the way.

Dave Canales talked about "missed opportunites" as a collective offense.

But the Bryce Young interception from the 1 loomed large, on a night when the entire offense was out of sync.

Dave Canales: “Missed opportunities” on offense in loss at San Francisco
The Panthers managed just 43 offensive plays, and one third-down conversion. And without a run game to balance things out, the offense never found a rhythm on Monday night.
