Official Divisional Playoff Thread - Seahawks at Panthers

Never should have been that close. Ron says we won't go conservative... so we do a LOT of three runs and a punt in the second half. Happy we won, but nervous now.

 

Newsflash for the coaches, Arians likes taking big shots downfield and they usually make those plays. If we do this again next week, we're in serious trouble.

We have some work to do on our defense before next Sunday!!!

That was the coaching/play calling. Almost the entire second half they were playing soft. They wanted to let the Seahawks complete passes underneath and keep them in bounds.

100% coaching decision. Brought some attacking defense after the Seahawks got 2 TDs and threatened a 3rd on their 3rd drive of the second half. 4th quarter they went back to the shell to run clock with the defense. Dumb.

It's like we start sucking when we get up big.

It has nothing to do with starting sucking.

If our coaches would LET our players play, they are as good or better than anyone in the league.

A conscious decision to go into a total shell and run the clock out should not reflect on the PLAYERS.

Ron Rivera turned the NFL MVP into the highest paid cheerleader in the league in the 2nd half because thats what he CHOSE to do.

It worked.

But it was ridiculous and it was ugly.

And these Carolina Panthers players could have EASILY won this game on their own, but Rivera had more confidence in his 12th Man, The Clock, over and above his players.

I am, they needed this wake up call. They thought they had it won at half (again), and Seattle made a game of it. We should go no huddle for the rest of the playoffs, Cam is at his best with it. 

how many "wake calls" have they had during the season...already...it is sad how it played out...just glad for the win, though

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
