And his last pass before that should have been intercepted after hitting linebacker Jack Sanborn&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n<div data-behavior=\"video_scroll\" class=\"contentItem__content contentItem__content--media-card contentItem__content--fullWidth contentItem__content--inline\">\n<figure data-video=\"watch,640,360,38860214\" data-cerebro-id=\"654dae0dbe6ab32506d5dc4b\" data-title=\"Eddy Pineiro's tying field goal attempt comes up short\" class=\"media-wrapper_image video\" data-source=\"espn\"><picture class=\"media-wrapper_image\"><source data- media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data- media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img class=\" lazyload lazyload\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><span class=\"video-play-button\" data-id=\"38860214\">play<\/span><figcaption class=\"media-caption\">\n<p>0:35<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"contentItem__contentWrapper\">\n<p>Eddy Pineiro&#8217;s game-tying field goal attempt fails<\/p>\n<p class=\"contentItem__subhead\">Eddy Pineiro tries to tie the score for the Panthers with a 59-yard field goal, but the kick falls well short.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we&#8217;re all frustrated,\u201d Young said after Carolina fell to 1-8, tying Arizona for the worst record in the NFL.  &#8220;It&#8217;s a frustrating situation. It&#8217;s not who we are, who we want to be. We are what we put on tape, we are what we put on the field and we have to be better.<\/p>\n<p>Young&#8217;s frustration reached such a level that he then addressed his teammates in a way they had never seen after any of the other losses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe kind of shared his emotion,\u201d receiver Adam Thielen said without going into detail.<\/p>\n<p>Tight end Hayden Hurst, whose locker at Soldier Field was next to Young&#8217;s, appreciated Young speaking out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe may be young, but he is the leader of this team,\u201d he said.  \u201cWe need to rally around him and find a solution to some things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thielen and Hurst agreed that Young&#8217;s frustration in no way impacted his performance for an offense that has produced just two touchdowns in 12 quarters since head coach Frank Reich handed the duties game to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not hitting on all cylinders,\u201d Thielen said.  &#8220;We&#8217;re not hitting on any cylinder, to be honest. It&#8217;s an embarrassing effort. Everyone is embarrassed to score six points on offense. Without that punt return, it was like we didn&#8217;t do anything .<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s embarassing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reich seemed equally shocked afterwards.  It&#8217;s not what he envisioned when the Panthers sent the Bears two first-round picks and wide receiver DJ Moore (5 catches, 58 yards Thursday) to move from No. 9 to No. 1 in the draft for get Young.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline editorial float-r\" data-behavior=\"article_related\">\n<h2 class=\"editorial-title\">Editor&#8217;s Choice<\/h2>\n<p>2 Related<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>But Reich isn&#8217;t concerned that offensive struggles and mounting turnovers will impact Young&#8217;s confidence or his ability to lead.  He still believes there is enough talent around Young to <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/win\/\"   title=\"win\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">win<\/a> games this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s mentally tougher than a lot of rookie quarterbacks,\u201d Reich said.  I mean, as a rookie quarterback, given the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/start\/\"   title=\"start\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">start<\/a> we&#8217;ve had, I don&#8217;t think I see any decline in him. &#8230; I see aggression. I see resolve. I see of determination.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like he takes ownership of it. He probably takes ownership of it more than he should because it&#8217;s a group effort.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thielen agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the opposite,\u201d he said.  &#8220;His passion, the kind of message he sends to us after the match, it&#8217;s the complete opposite. We have more confidence in him \u2013 he&#8217;s going to continue to work, to find a way to improve \u2013 and he gave us all challenged to look in the mirror to find a way to improve to help him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the end of the day, it&#8217;s not a one-player league. It&#8217;s not the NBA where you can have one or two guys and have success. You have to have guys at every position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That could mean changes when the Panthers return Monday after a weekend off.  The lack of a running game (43 yards rushing against Chicago) and the weekly pressure Young is under from opposing pass rushes could indicate that these changes are coming to the offensive line.<\/p>\n<p>But the bottom line, as Young and his teammates said Thursday night, is that execution needs to improve across the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re better than that,\u201d running back Chuba Hubbard said after being held to 23 rushing yards on nine carries.  &#8220;We&#8217;re way better than that. This game tells itself. We have to be able to score points, we have to be able to finish drives, we have to be able to execute at a high level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just don\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Young takes on a lot of it, more than Reich and his teammates realize.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the frustration sets in, where the shell shock aspect comes from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very frustrating,\u201d Young said.  &#8220;It&#8217;s not just me. It&#8217;s everyone. We&#8217;re competitors. Losing is frustrating. You know, it&#8217;s fresh, you feel it. But at the end of the day, you have to move on.<\/p>\n<p>If the Panthers don&#8217;t, the ugliness they displayed Thursday could become even uglier in next Sunday&#8217;s home game against the Dallas Cowboys, one of the best teams in the NFC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing frustrated isn\u2019t going to win a game and it\u2019s not going to help,\u201d Young said.  \u201cYou have to turn that and use it into action throughout the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a>, and then we have to translate it into Sunday or Thursday.\u201d  This needs to be translated.
