About those punt blocks and blaming the players....

Recommended Posts

Here they are in slow motion...

 

 

 

The first one is absolutely Minnesota's coaching staff taking advantage of something they saw on film. Notice no outside rushers, everyone is in the interior. The player that blocked the punt went untouched. The Panthers were woefully unprepared for this formation and strategy by the Vikings.

100% on Rodgers and he should be held accountable.

 

 

 

Here is the second one....

This blocked punt is a direct result of the first blocked punt. Jacobs is confused, keeps to the inside thinking the same thing may happen again. Instead, the rushers are more spread out to the edge and blows by Jacobs. Yes, this was Jacobs fault, but you can't tell me he couldn't have been better prepared on the sidelines by the coaching staff.

 

 

 

This, folks, is just horrible horrible coaching.

I just posted this somewhere else but maybe it's more fitting here.

Head coach Ron Rivera typically holds two practices during the off week, but the Panthers are 0-3 coming out of the bye under Rivera. So in an effort to find something that could snap that streak and the team’s current slump, Rivera gave his players five days off after their lone practice of the week on Tuesday.

 

In comparison, the Rams practiced blocking punts all week because they knew they found a weak spot.

Sometimes I think the NFL pays JR to field losing teams. They seem to leave things other teams see on the scouting report wide open just like when Sproles knew that they leave the middle of the field wide open.

These things only make sense if you're planning to lose. The Panthers certainly aren't game planning to win. "Yeah, take five days off! You guys need not practice." Tired of ownership throwing seasons away on purpose(it would seem). Everybody in the audience can see what their doing wrong but them.

The coach continues to point fingers when he should take responsibility. We don't care how "mad" you appear Ron the results are the same. The QB takes responsibility every loss. You should too

    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet. 
    • oh now that's what you call Mother Fiuggure fans the ones that always have this fierce protective shield around the team no matter if they win or lose  & to be honest there is nothing really wrong with being a Mother Fiugguer fan they just have a different meaning or sense of what a true fan really is                                                 ☺️
