Did Anyone Else Notice?

Recommended Posts

I wanted to start off by saying this isn't a thread to bitch or anything, I'm not that upset about the loss because it will help us in the long run. But did anyone notice that the entire team played with absolutely no urgency? Luke/TD/Norman were all making weak tackles, or not even making the tackles at all. One two occasions I saw Kuechly stand still instead of helping the team wrap up Freeman. That's not how Luke plays, ever. The defense constantly left Norman and Tillman in 1 on 1 situations that ultimately caused us to lose the game. It was almost like we dumbed down the play calling and didn't want to go full speed. Maybe we got cocky and thought we could coast to a win, but I got the vibe that the Panthers really didn't care if they won that game or not.

Whatdda ya say?

14-1, Keep Pounding.

Overlooked a team we've owned recently.  Simple as that.  Today was their Super Bowl and they played like it.  We treated it like an exhibition game.

I really want Arizona to win today.  We need something to play for next week.  I don't want to rest the starters after that poo performance.  Foot on the gas, no backing into the playoffs.

I just think we got outplayed and out-coached.  Atlanta definitely looked like they wanted it more, so some credit has go to them.  People tend to forget that other team's have good players too.  The thing is going to be how this team responds.  If Arizona wins today, we'll see how this team responds next week because the game will mean something.

I don't know about you, but when Cam was physically powering for a 1st down while getting hit by every goddam player on the Falcon's defense, resulting in blood running down his neck after the play, I kinda felt like he was trying pretty hard.

I keep saying this in every thread almost but seriously it should be looked at...

I wonder if the team  is looking at Rivera sort of crooked due to the way he always goes into bitch mode in the face of controversy...I seriously wonder if the players don't believe Rivera has their back...he always apologizes and tries to hound his players even if they aren't the instigators or the "problem"....plus some former players have said some similar poo about Rivera.

On paper we win this game 10 out of 10 times, we have superior talent. For whatever reason they went out today, got an early score and thought it was gonna be another easy win. 

Atl took the field knowing they still had playoff hopes and a chance to end our run.. they wanted the game more than we did.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
