Panthers vs Falcons Running Commentary

It's the way they lost that hurts.

 

Of course you would have taken it, but losing is never supposed to feel good.

 

Well no problem there, it made me turn off the post game and I am not gonna look at the 4PM game either, just so I don't have to hear about any of it.

 

How close to the LOS was Ryan on that long pass?

 

One thing that you guys shouldn't overlook is that your team didn't play well and still had a chance to win down to the last possession. An Arizona vs Carolina showdown would be great.

 

Thomas Davis whiffing on a Ryan scramble basically cost us 4 points. Julio Jones makes an insane catch for seven points. That eleven flukey points in a game we lost by 7. Olsen was off, Cam was off. Things that are abnormal became normal for a few plays

Not that a win would have erased our problems, but the mood would have been different.

 

The bullshit PF on Peanut on first drive lead to 7 too. Should have been punting to us.

 

seeing "highlights", just pisses me off. Ryan's had the noodle arm all year, is good for maybe 45 yards with a running start. Which we gave him. And it was such a fucking rainbow it took forever to get there, no reason to have Luke 40 yards down the field with a top three NFL WR. A decent defender prevents that catch at worst. Every fucking time.

 

We need to get our shit together in nickel and dime coverage. And need to do something better at covering the slot.

Having 59 covering a wr like Jones is remarkably stupid.

3rd down Defense is alarmingly porous.

White right off the bat fucking with 31 and getting a flag was brilliant by the and prolly planned. Fucker went for his knees. Shoulda been offsetting flags at the most, though woulda been a replay of the down.

Refs were off as usual. Upon replay, their Oline held unbelievably consistently with no calls...right..in...front..of ...the ...refs. It's plain as day and on film.

Cam not having any quick passes is really dumb when we need it. Seems every pass play is a 5 step drop, after lining up in shotgun even.

Our Oline had a very bad day. Passpro and running game. Our wr's don't block worth a shit near the LOS.

Our LBs had a bad day. The secondary was pitiful. Has been and magnified lately,especially yesterday considering there was little pressure. #2 has hurt during his early run and we shoulda put him on the turf every fucking play after that.

The last two offensive drives were pitiful. At least one shoulda been sustained. I was actually amazed at getting a second with time at the end, fucking amazed like the refs were making up all the rest of non-calls on them. And why did cam stay in the pocket on every pass attempt during those drives (like why wasn't there a QB roll out or anything)? Option on every fuking run play is getting ridiculous. specially when the other team is covering it well like yesterday. It's like there was no game planing for yesterday and they actually thought they'd show up and whip their ass easily.

I hate Atlanta.

I hate that pussy #2 and I hate that monkey-looking WR. Wish we had one. 84 is useless except for one good catch every other game or so and lucky fumble recovery once a season.

There's only one other team I actually hate their players/coaches more and actually smile for their injuries or am elated when they get beat like yesterday and do stoopid things like kick off the beginning of overtime as a choice. That's bad and not like me.

 

That was especially apparent on the 3rd/4th down plays at the end. Shula doesn't use drags or ins and even the occasional slant is run more like a skinny post.
