This is so simple.  Ron's playing the long con.  The teams we face in the playoff's will for the most part study the last 3 games on film. Ron is trolling them.  We've been in cover 3 for 2 weeks.  No pass rush.   It's all a smoke screen.

LOL.  Would love it if you're right.   Somewhere today, forget where, I read speculation that Belichick actually wanted the Pats to lose yesterday for strategic purposes... (Want the Jets in the playoffs and not the Steelers).

Stategery, eh?  Time will tell...

The TD Whiff on Ryan stuck out to me all day.

Going for hard hit rather than just tackling.

Bingo..........Ryan making a move on TD?..........TD had a head full of steam ready to put him out of the game instead of just completing the play and forcing them to punt.......almost pulled my hair out of my head on that one.

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.

I can't recall a single "big play" that was made all game.  We definitely missed a lot of opportunities..We had several big drops on third down..Philly had one, and Greg had one.. but we made it so much harder on ourselves from our lack of big plays..No ints, no 40+ yard completions, etc.  Its hard to score points when you are having to move down the field 10 yards at a time..A lot of people missed plays, but at the end of the day, I put this on the offense because 13 points aint good enough to win games in this league.

I heard something interesting on NFL Network a few days ago.  An old coach (Can't remember who, but they were from a long time ago) said "Five big plays will usually win the game for you. Five is the goal."  Very interesting to think about..Its one of those things that probably hasnt changed over the years.

Luke also missed some fairly easy audibles. At one point, I believe in e fourth, Ryan was doing the hard count, and Roman Harper came down and showed his hand. Ryan then audibles, obviously it would be to send someone up the seam or switch the run play, and Luke made no adjustments. Freeman runs for a first down after Ryan flips the run.

I was yelling at the TV when it happened and I'm still upset about it as that was a microcosm of this game.

Seemed like many of the players were getting too caught up in the moment and taking their eyes off the ultimate prize.  It is understandable with all the hype in the media.

Falcons may have given the Panthers the best gift they've received this Christmas, a reality check.

Yup.  I made the "distractions" thread last week, and all I heard was, we are OK, this is a tight team, they take it one game at a time, etc......

That is a load of crap, these guys are human too.  We just had too many irons in the fire, and hopefully Atlanta embarrassing us on almost national TV will get these guys in shape.

Interesting stat.  This is probably true based on what I've seen in my stat analysis this year.   I'm not up to date in my data entry given travel & Christmas (and also a sprained left wrist which is making it hard to type), but through week 13 (at New Orleans) we were averaging 4 rushing big plays  (10+ yards) and 2 big passing plays (25+ yards) per game - obviously all wins. (figures are rounded slightly)

Our opponents were averaging 2 big rushing plays, and 1 big passing play per game.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
