Why I'm not concerned at 1-2


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

We just played 2 of the toughest defenses and teams we will play all year during our last 3 games. Denver won the SB last year on defense alone, and the Vikings won the NFCN last year on Defense alone.  Our next tough team from a defensive stand point is Seattle in Seattle and they have looked worse then us so far.  I will start to get concerned if we are still lose between now and the bye.  

 

Its it's time for us to remind the NFCS who it's daddy is!!!

So we go to the playoffs just to lose to the same team?

k

Never heard of game tape and adjustments? It happens. The other team plays football too, tho a lot of fans forget that.

we don't want to go to Minnesota in the winter tho.

also relying heavy on the defense can cause problems. Later in the year they may be really worn out. Because even bough they won today you can't say they had a good game on offense.

Everyone should be VERY concerned after what the coaching staff displayed today.  We caught the league by storm last year.  Well, guess what?  Other coaches are REALLY REALLY GOOD and can game plan! Our one-year smack in the face isn't enough for sustained success in the NFL no matter the caliber of talent.

Here's my two cents on our current situation.  As long as everyone in the NFC South continues to lose, we're okay.  Tampa needs to lose and the Skanks need to win and we're still tied for first place.  I do believe once the weather becomes cooler, we'll play better.  The heat has been brutal for them.

 

However, weak areas are starting to pile up.  ST, DE, RT/LT, OC, OL-coach.  If we continue to lose and start to feel that any chance for a playoff spot is becoming out of reach, then it may be time to think about tanking in order to get a good draft spot.  The draft is looking real good next year, but most importantly, it would be time to spend some money and upgrade a few areas.  Because not only do we have several weak areas due to poor talent, but we have a few areas with guys very close to retirement, Davis, Ste, Kalil, Olsen.  But like I said, it's still very early, plenty of time to turn things around, but if things don't change quickly, then it's time to start cleaning up and rebuild.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
