Post Super Bowl thoughts

1.  Ruled incomplete pass early in game was bullshit and set the tone and allowed Denver their first TD.

2.  Refs called stuff on us that they didn't call on Denver. i.e. no hold on Denver cornerback on that Ginn pass deep in Denver's territory, but we get called for hold on Thomas in endzone.  Bullshit.

3.  We had our own self-inflicted wounds from the numerous false starts,  3 or 4 fifteen yard penalties.  Tolbert had 2 fumbles (1 recovered.) Cam had 2 fumbles, and that last one where he didn't jump on the ball when he clearly had a chance to recover really bothers me.

4.  That punt return where we had 2 men within 1 yard of the returner and we didn't tackle him and allowed him to run it back 60 yards.  

 

Overall a great season marred by a terrible game with bad calls by refs, and too many mistakes by our offense.

And let's be honest here...we weren't even supposed to be in this situation.  We lost KB before the year began.  We were down 2 cornerbacks, had one d-lineman playing on a broken foot and 1 linebacker with a broken arm.  

All in all we did the best we could.  At least we made it which is better than 30 other teams.

Cotchery should have caught that cleanly anyway.  I figured the refs would be slanted but Cotch was juggling everything and catching nothing.  Funchess is the real deal though.  Him with KB & Ginnwill be a beautiful spectacle.  Ealy and Norman I thought had great games.  Roman Harper is too slow to be effective.  Teddy Williams is a bonehead and should not be on the 53 man roster.

    • We had Darnold in a terrible situation for Sam Darnold and the team he's QBing. Darnold is best deployed as a high level game manager. He has elite throwing skills but he's disaster waiting to happen when he has to press and a QB has to press on a bad team. Seattle is a great spot for him surrounded with great weapons with an elite defense to lean on.  Swap him and Stafford last night and the Seahawks cruise while Darnold has 3-4 turnovers having to try to play hero ball for the Rams.
    • This picture was posted by the NFL back in September and shows Darnold and Maye at the front closest to the Lombardi trophy. I personally don’t believe in the “script” theory. I do believe that the NFL will influence specific games to get a more entertaining outcome at times. However, this is gaining some steam online and even got a response from NFL PR.  
    • In the last 5 years, nearly 10% of the NFL's starting QBs (19% of the NFC QBs) were / are (at some point) on the Panther's roster.  Of those QBs, their 2025 win percentage (regular season) was (combined-- the Seahawks, Bucs, and Panthers) won 30 of 51 games--nearly 60%--in 2025.  At an average of 10 wins per season, a team has a better than 90% chance of making the playoffs.  (Heck, I nearly added Caleb Williams to this forumula since we basically gave the Bears their QB as well).
