This Is All Gettleman People

He completely ignored the OL and signed a few scrubs for our secondary; all while thinking the "hog-mollies" could get it done. Well, you see how good that mentality works without your best pass rusher. The defense is perfectly fine when it has a good rotation of DEs to get sacks up front; however, when you're missing half your DEs, the secondary gets exposed. Meanwhile on offense, our rushing attack has been about the worst I've ever seen it... all because Gett didn't place any effort into the OL; risking injury to our entire backfield and preventing any prosperity even if our backfield is healthy. This has little to do with the coaching staff, they're the same as they were last year for what it's worth. But you can only do so much with so little. I don't know if Gett just planned to use this as a throwaway year or what but the majority of blame should be on him.

It's pretty much never all one person. People try to make it that way because that simplifies the issues and makes it seem like an easy fix is available.

It's not that simple.

Gettleman plays a role, but to suggest it's all him - or go the idiotic route of saying we should start over yet again with a new GM after 2 years - is simplistic.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
