you'll notice lots of green dog blitzes from the middle linebacker because the panthers aren't sending anyone out in dump offs

just an awful performance from all angles

This.  Shula was thoroughly outcoached for 3 quarters.  We dont have the tackles to run these drawn out plays where Cam holdsthe ball for 7 seconds

"Penalties and turnovers are killing the Panthers. With 10 penalties for 65 yards against Minnesota, the Panthers have committed 26 for 215 yards in three games. One of those cost Carolina a 56-yard touchdown catch by Fozzy Whittaker that could have made it 17-2 early in the second quarter against the Vikings. Those kind of mistakes kept the 49ers close last week into the fourth quarter and allowed Minnesota to win.The Panthers also had three interceptions on Sunday, giving quarterback Cam Newton five in three games. He had only two in the first three games a year ago. The Panthers have lost three fumbles this season as compared to none this time a year ago. They are the kind of mistakes that could keep an inferior team like the Falcons, this week's opponent, within striking distance. -- David Newton"

 

My concern for this team is how we perform when things are not going well. Shula turned in a outstanding performance when things were going well last year. 15-1 Record attests to that. But when things went sideways - Atlanta, Denver, Denver, & now Minnesota, but when things breakdown: Punt return td, too many turnovers, we jump out to too big of a lead, things seem to fall apart. I can't quite put a finger on it, but I am sure everyone here feels it. It's like we need to get a sports psychologist for Shula.

on the play where the vikings got a free run at cam fozzy was lined up to block him but immediately ran to the right side of the pocket when the ball was snapped. the rusher came from the left and folded cam.

not sure if that was fozzy's fault or not. he's a pretty reliable blocker

I also noticed the olines inability to recognize and "claim" delayed blitzers....it seemed that on numerous occasions the oline could not get on the same page with who was who's responsibility....these are instincts you develop through time playing together so I don't get the disconnect

especially after stoning SF's rush last week

We are making it insanely easy on decent defenses....like EH said....they send that blitz and we have no dumpoff like literally every other team has.

I mean...these teams will oblige and oblige and oblige until hey look we gave up like 8 sacks for real....huh what happened? at least that's SHulas thought...the rest of us know wtf happened. fugin worst OC mind I've ever seen.

See, I'm afraid a lot of our players are like we're still in 2015 season, standing at 15-1. Wake up guys. We're officially in 2016 and we're standing at 1-2. A lot of the teams we're facing this season are more challenging than the ones from last season. We're playing very sloppy, especially once we're in the 2nd half. I'm not saying we're done for the season, just need to play with better discipline and dedication. No more dumb penalties, no more sloppy turnovers, don't rely on Benji so much, practice the playbook. Everyone doubted us last year. Just play exactly like that.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
