Every single one!!!! Why the hell we were choosing to ignore it is beyond my reasoning.

Exactly! I don't know what Rivera was thinking! We won ! That's all that matters but man there was some bad coaching and play all around. All Game!

We have been a bottom five special teams unit all season.  Theres a lot more wrong than the every other game kick block.

I don't agree with that at all. The coverage units have been pretty darn good this year. Take away the blocked kicks, and they have been above average, IMO.

 

They most definitely need to work on the FG operation though. No doubt about that.

Just went back and rewatched that blocked FG.  It was Ben Jacobs that missed that block on DRC.  Just let him run right around him.  He didn't even really make an effort to block him.

Edit: watched the made FG at the end and Jacobs didn't try to block him there either so apparently this is what Jacobs is supposed to do.  So it must be a timing issue.

Rivera has become a great coach  but no more brushing this issue off.  Damn it! 

EVERY SINGLE EXTRA POINT WAS ALMOST BLOCKED. How many times are you going to give #41 a free path to the ball? 

I knew 100% that the FG would be blocked. I said it three times before it happened because no one was blocking the Giant coming from the left. 

I'm still pissed off about this collapse.

I hate close games. Apparently I hate unexpectedly finding myself watching a close game that shouldn't be close, even more.

I REPEAT: Watch every extra point from today before that blocked FG and you will see exactly the same thing.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
