I was there and it was a blast. That interception was right in front of us and we were on the Tampa side so it was fun to see them scatter like roaches. Two notes on attendance. There were still way too many empty seats. We were loud but it could have been even louder. Losing to NO might have taken the top off. Second, there were less Tampa fans than other games. My son went to the Miami game and said there were way more Dolphin fans than Tampa fans today.

I was at the game, which was awesome, and XL was brutal. I wouldn’t call him a possession receiver. If you had bad hands and you can’t toe tap at the sideline you are missing 2 key must haves as a possession receiver. Coker should be the starter over XL.

Vikings offense was 9th in scoring in 2024 and 25th this year. Seattle went from 18th last year to 3rd. It goes both ways. Darnold has done very well. He’s got 8000 yards, 66%+ completion and 59 TDs in 2 years with 2 games left. He’s contributed a lot. Ask Justin Jefferson if he misses Darnold and ask JSN if he’s happy with Darnold. I’d love to have Darnold.

While it says we converted later, it 100% impacted the game. First, the clock stopped on the incompletion and we would have had another 12 yards on tha drive. We didn’t score but the play calls change. Seeing as how we lost on a last second long FG, an extra 12 yards and running the clock down another 17 seconds (or forcing NO to use a timeout) likely means at a minimum we go to OT and at best we score and win the game.

I didn’t realize we were in FG range until after we missed it. Against a team that has scored 7 points into the 4th quarter, you sure as hell go up 10 in the 4th. Add in the fact that his clock management before halftime cost us a chance at a TD, Canales in year 2 is showing some seriously bad HC decision making.

Gave up a FG, messed up the clock to not give us a chance at a TD before halftime and called a general poor game. Could have easily had another 7+ points and not been in position to lose last second.

Who cares today? Our D was letting WRs run wild and we were up 17-7 and Canales didn’t kick a FG in range, badly managed the clock before halftime taking away and chance at 4 more points and Iky derailed a drive where we were rolling with a 1st down at midfield likely costing us a FG at minimum. We could have easily been up 27-10 in the 4th. Shouldn’t have had to cover anything. This was an easy win that other people really fuged up.

lol. You said one mistake by coaching. I gave you 1 defensive coaching mistake and multiple Canales mistakes (offense and HC decisions) and you are trying to twist it and say I don’t blame Evero. When I say coaches screwed up, I mean offense, defense, STs and HC decisions like time management. Who else am I blaming in my comment: There was one defensive formation in the last seconds of the game that cost us. It’s OK to be wrong. You just twist the response into something that wasn’t even my prior argument.

Wait. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth. You said this There is one major coaching / braintrust decision that had a major effect on this game, but I doubt it's one you're thinking of... Over here: https://www.carolinahuddle.com/?app=core&module=system&controller=content&do=find&content_class=forums_Topic&content_id=479724&content_commentid=7008092 Which is it because “massive coaching failure” means I was completely right over there?

Exactly. I’m an absolute critic and the no sneaks is one of my reasons to get a new QB but today was definitely not on him.

Lol. Ok, Shough was amazing. Root for him. I want Young gone but this is not a week to complain about Young. Plenty of weeks before this one for that. Canales played a roll 50x larger in this loss and others. Iky killed a drive that was rolling at midfield. TMac didn’t make a great catch in the end zone like multiple Saints WRs made for Shough. He also ran a 4 yard route getting immediately tacked one yard short on 4th. Canales called the exact same play on two straight 4th and shockingly the second one failed. Lost enough points there to win easily.

Lol. I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’ve been saying I want a new QB since his rookie year and I still want someone who can run a sneak and has a better arm but today, I’d say coaching, Iky (penalty and letting Young push him like a ragdoll), Ransam, CSW, Horn and many others had far bigger roles in this loss. That’s all I’m saying. This week is not a hate Young week like SF was.

He threw 8 more passes and Bryce had at least the one Coker throw. If Bryce had WRs uncovered like Shough did, he has a nice game too. Not trying to act like Bryce was a stud but Bryce wins easily if the coaches and other players don’t play like poo.

Shough didn’t outplay anyone. We had our DBs 10 yards deeper than every route. We certainly weren’t stopping TMac on 3rd and 5 when he ran one lard short. Their D was right there keeping him to 4 yards. I honestly thought our D play calling made Shough and his no namers to look like Joe to Jerry. Bryce wasn’t a HOFer today but his supporting cast and coaches were awful today.

Could easily have won. Bad personal and coaching decisions and Young was not the problem at all IMHO. I’ll still be there Sunday so hopefully we don’t blow that one as badly as we blew this one.

Honestly, not me. The coaching and other players were far more responsible to the loss. Bryce was fine and did enough.

One? Lol. I’ve never seen anyone so adept at making sure you aren’t perceived as incorrect. There was one defensive formation in the last seconds of the game that cost us. Our poo ass clock management in the two minute offense cost us a chance at a TD instead of a FG. 4 more points wins the game. We also went for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter and didn’t get it. A 50 yard FG puts us up 10 to a team that has scored 7 points in 3 quarters. I’m not even going to discuss the multitude of bad play calls throughout the game but those 3 coaching decisions all contributed to a loss instead of a relatively easy win. Again, I’m sure I’ll see a response but I’m not going to bother to read it because it’ll be some sort of bad explanation of how I’m thinking something else.

Hmm, judging by results? Lol. We got 7 turnovers and a pick 6 lost by 11 and won by 3. We got swept by a team that’s 2-10 against everyone else. We got out coached and out played by a shitty team today. My main point that you still missed is that this team is not 1 draft away and our coaches and GM staff have not done enough to be lauded to the point that they have built a contender. We aren’t close. Our best players weren’t there when we needed them.

Disgusting and trash ass play today.

It wasn’t a catch.

Horn is terrible. I’m sorry but he has so many bad plays that overtake his good ones. He (and CSW) have given up 250 yards. Horn lost the prior Saints game and is doing his damnedest to lose this one.

We are. This should be over. As “bad” as the D has been they have given up 10 points. We scored 7 on our first drive of the game and barely any since. Instead of getting a 10 point lead we run the same play and get stopped. We don’t run 5 yards out on 3rd and 5.

We better win this effin game. Doing everything we can to screw it up but are still ahead.

Hate that we can never sneak the ball.

SMH. D better hold up. This should not be a game. We’ve dpne all that we can to keep them in the game.
