On Sirius NFL this am they were discussing why all NFL for the most part are against the new OT rules.

Both the Bengals and Panthers played 5 full quarters last week. Both teams showed absolutely nothing from the very first snap on Sunday.

Now we would have been beaten regardless bc of our D being a bad matchup but the playing a full q more than any team the week prior didn't probably help things

Doesn't explain why the defense looked it worst in the first quarter and gradually improved. If fatigue is the reason, they would have gotten worse as the game went on.

Maybe GB just eased up considering it was over at the first quarter.

Looked more like Rodgers had resorted to trying to get as many people stats as he could as the game went on and his emphasis was on just spreading it around for the sake of that.

I don't think he even looked at Jordan Nelson after the first q. Too easy to do that

If this was the first time we had been blown out this season, I would have agreed with you. But we've seen this poor showing week in and week out. Besides, didn't Rivera give them lots of time off practice or something like that?

Well I made sure to note we would have been beaten soundly regardless....

But at least in some other beatdowns like Pitt we were in it for chunks. This game was over 10 minutes in

Started in New England in the preseason, but we all dismissed it as an aberration.

I think this had a big impact on the Panthers getting blown out.  The Bengals/Panthers game was grueling on both teams. At least the Bengals were at home and only had to travel a few hours west to Indianapolis the next week, but they got trounced worse than the Panthers.  Going into next week, the Panthers starters only played 3/4 of a game and get to play at home against a Seahawks team making two cross country trips in a row. Things should turn around...right?

Do what? Pretty sure both teams scored 37 points apiece. To say that "both teams showed absolutely nothing" is asinine!

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
