every team this year can beat us if rivera doesn't make adjustments from the broncos game.

[Jangler]

tbh, this whole thread makes no sense. I thought the great Peyton Manning beat us.

[fieryprophet]

More than anything, we were beat by players collectively taking turns f*cking up and then not responding to the moment with anything but resignation. We played like the team that kept taking closes losses to Seattle because we were playing not to lose instead of to win. Basically, we earned that loss. It's as simple as that.

I'll tell you. This opens up old wounds for sure, but it is an eye-opener. I haven't personally analyzed the game for obvious reasons, but it shows how we need to be far more creative and not attempt the same thing over and over again.

I think our OLine was just beat by that stout defense as well, and, as the coaches have said, everyone had contributed to the loss, not just Remmers. I still hold the belief that we would've had a better chance if our defense was able to make plays while the Broncos were near the endzone, as the Broncos were able to take advantage of the Panthers being near the endzone. I believe our defense was just as deadly on the Broncos offense. It's just a matter of field position and the way things went that resulted in a Superbowl loss.

I, however, believe that Mike Shula needs to find an answer to this. Quick slants seem to be a good solution, and Funchess looks like a nice prime target. Maybe a couple of plays with Kelvin beating out receivers would help. The fact we have a bunch of options at WR this year should be helpful. I don't think much would help fix our OLine's play except practice and experience, and I have my doubts on Remmers being ready for another 1v1 vs Von Miller.

I still think it's a winnable game if our Defense plays rough and if our Offense can get in a quick pass rhythm. Might be something to note as Cam has been working on short passes as well in the preseason. If we can be quick with the ball before the pressure hits, or if a good design play with cam flushing away comes afloat, I think that could be our counter to that style of blitz. The Broncos offense shouldn't be able to do much, especially with that dent at QB concerning leadership and experience. If the Panthers capitalize on that, and work on their game, I think we'll be able to show the world the Panthers aren't just a fluke.

Oh wow. Been screenwriting for a few years now and just recently started to try and get more hands on myself.

Can't wait for Hollywood. 

Best of luck. Will def continue to follow.

Denver had 2 lock down corners, hard-hitting safeties and a monster dline plus 2 HOF rush ends. We were out played as much as out coached. They did a good job in finding a weakness and we didnt adjust properly. I never at any point in that game thought I was watching the team I watched all year. Momentum was sucked out after the reverse catch bs.

[SpeedOFLight]

Definitely opened up wounds. I remember being so downcast after the game. I actually called out of work on that Monday. I had nothing left lol. Thanks for the lesson. I think it was a great break down as to what Broncos were doing. I was disappointed but the lack of adjustments in the game but hopefully everyone learned from the game. I'm ready for week one 

[uncfan888]

This poo is still really painful.. I'd rather have seen another hardy thread. You're my boy, Philly..  But damn...  And on a Monday night too.. 

[CPF4LIFE]

Very good thread. I feel everybody on that "well remmers was only bad for 2 games" crap needs to read this.

Quick slant to Funchess every time they try it. Has the size and speed to win any 1 on 1 matchup.

Hot route!

Most teams don't have Von Miller and Ware. With that said the refs help them execute blitzes all night because they would back us up every series. I'm over it now and just have settled with the fact that Payton was going to get another SB if they had to shoot Cam in the leg on national television. You can definitely defeat blitzes like that by not being 3 and 10 every series.  

[uncfan888]

Yeah..  Not adjusting is what makes it so hard to swallow.  At least try something different 

[firstdayfan]

I don't mean to be that guy who points out the opposite of what the OP is desperately trying to get across but multiple linemen were beat ferociously on that second play you mentioned.  Including Trai Turner, one of the better guards in the league.  Daryl Williams was also in at guard on that play, and he looked like a turnstile as his guy went right into Cam. 

Can we just say that one of the better defenses in league history whipped our asses while at the same time realizing that on any given Sunday in the NFL, if you don't show up this will happen.  I felt like we could have moved the ball on them if a few things would have bounced another way, including the catch.  Once we got one dimensional against that kind of defense it was over.  Momentum in the NFL is critical and we could never get it back in that game.  

I don't think less of Rivera for getting out coached (considering he out coached 15 other teams during the regular season), more worried about how flat the team looked in the biggest game of their lives.

[Mojo]

Incredibly well done man.  Damn.

I forgot how brutal that game was.  They really beat us up.
