Our Early Season Ghosts Caught Up With Us...

[TylerDurden]

All of the weaknesses that cost us early in the year came back to bite us here...

No Hardy was possibly the biggest loss. Addison was abused multiple times in pass rush and gave up a TD in coverage.

The offensive line, namely Bell was right up there in biggest weakness. I've never seen a guy give up as much as he does and continue to go unchallenged for his job. That has to change this offseason.

WRs... multiple drops, no fight for positioning or the ball from several guys. Only guy the could really create space when manned up was KB because of his size.

We forgot about these weaknesses in the euphoria of our winning streak, understandably, but they were just too big to overcome.

Hopefully Ealy pans out, but instill don't think help be as good as hardy, but WR and OL, namely LT, absolutely have to be addressed with urgency. If our first pick isn't one of those positions, I will poo a brick.

Hopefully Ealy pans out, but I still don't think he'll be as good as Hardy, but WR and OL, namely LT, absolutely have to be addressed with urgency. If our first pick isn't one of those positions, I will poo a brick.

Yea we just did not have the talent to beat SEA. Its why I was really pulling for Detroit to beat Dallas. GB would have been a much easier match up with our weakness. Our team was a patchwork and we made it all the way to the divisional game. Not really all that bad considering out talent.

Philly played really well but barely saw the field.

Agreed. I'd throw Safety as a priority as well. Boston was ABSOLUTELY abused tonight.

[Snake]

WR and CB really need to be looked at this off season. Improve those two areas with ST and we might go all the way.

Boston is fine, he just needs a good SS next to him to play with. Not Harper.

Safety is more of a need than CB

Boston definitely had a tough game, and I thought about that when posting, but I believe in Boston long-term. Harper should be replaced though because he is a liability physically.

No doubt, our S and LBs were attacked in coverage tonight.

[Growl]

It bothers me so much that we will likely need a DE. Ealy does look promising but you can never tell with that position. We need a safety badly as well . Harper and Boston are like complete opposites of each other and both are still bad.

I disagree, Boston was taken advantage of but its also his rookie season as well. Add just a good CB to Josh and Ben and you have a Carolina version of LOB.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That's what happens when you play a team that is legitimately better than you.

You have to be perfect to win and unfortunately we weren't.

However, we're on the right track.

[LinvilleGorge]

Immediate needs are:

 

LT

SS

speed at WR

DE (if CJ is a cap casualty, still need to look to backfill depth if not)

 

I actually feel pretty good elsewhere.
