Good lord dude was all over the place today.

 

Having TD back certainly helped, and I think our d-line play was much better.  Hopefully we see more of the impressive second half defense like last year.

 

I really hope we all take time to sit back and enjoy what we're seeing in watching #59 play. Guys like that don't come alone every day.

Enough with all these Kuechly every-time-we-win-after-the-game threads. Tackles should only count when it's made in the back field for a lost or no gain. Just like sacks. A DB tackling a WR on a 50 yard completion is not a great play. Tackling the RB after a 10 yard gain should not count as a tackle. The game of defense is about sacks and INTs. Unless there is a score there is a tackle in almost every possession. It's not something rare or difficult to get.

 

Come on guys, let's pretend we understand the game like those other fan-bases in storied franchises. Even I can fall on top of a pile and get myself a piece of tackle. lol

 

Oh I get it.  So an LB whose assignment is to drop back 5 to 8 yards from the LOS should just let a runner have a free pass to a TD since there's no point in tackling him if he makes it past the LOS?  Makes perfect sense.  NOT.

Yes and no.

 

Sometimes a downfield tackle is a big play by minimizing damage done from someone else's manner.

 

A big part of football is stepping up when a teammate screws up.  Yes you need to correct their misplay, but during the play it is the job of safeties and linebackers to get ball carriers on the ground to minimize the impact of the misplay.

Wow...  You must be one of the pretenders, otherwise you would understand this guy was all over the field today making plays, ie, blowing up RB pass protections (which was sick today), getting across the field to bring down a runner, and not letting the team score.  

Really?  You think all the dude's doing is falling on dog piles.  We must not of been watching the same game.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁

      I like Icky but he was the wrong tackle to take. Learning run blocking is much easier than learning pass blocking. Cross was pass pro ready. He was the tackle we should have taken without hesitation.
