What will a Gettleman post-season presser sound like...

[mc52beast]

There's plenty of blame to go around for our very disappointing season, and I'm just wondering what a Dave Gettleman presser will sound like;

Will he take at least some responsibility for the losing season and lack of talent at certain positions that has lingered for years.... probably not

Will he blame the losing season on injuries, rookie learning curve and/or the salary cap... probably so

What do you guys think?

"Not my fault" but he may surprise me. Hope he does.

[Growl]

I'm expecting generic talk on how his bad choices "really came on" and no real admission of guilt at the very least.

Injuries and its going to be sad

I wish we had a reporter with some balls to call them out on it

[jayflip]

He's gonna say bup bup bup bup and apologize personally to CPK.

I wonder what a post-season Huddle ban wave will look like.

Might bring back some quality threads

"It's not always pretty, but we're always building for the future to be sustainable.  We're gonna shop at Zales this offseason and we're gonna lock down our best players"

Then he'll proceed to cut a big name player that everyone loves without a fallback plan, struggle to resign KK, and his big offseason aquisition will be a 3rd string long snapper that will be cut by the end of training camp.

Need more Hog mawlies.

This is not how we expected to season to finish .... injuries ... injuries ... injuries  <burp> ... can only have so many guys on the roster ... big learning curve for the young guys but they really came along .... will look at every position to make the team better ... blah, blah, blah.

This offseason will illustrate whether the GM job is too big / cerebral for him.

What he does matters far more than what he says. Still waiting on those Hog Mollies rolling into Charlotte in a flatbed.

Outside not drafting a DE and SS, not much is his fault.

- Oher is likely done in the NFL.

- Kalil and Gino went to IR.

- Williams is hurt, forcing Turner to play OT while regressing.

- Cam getting targeted by opposing defenses.

- Benjamin and Ealy acting like high school kids.

- Gano missing easy FGs and XPs.

- Kuechly receiving a scary concussion (forcing him out of the rest of season)

- Short being invisible for the first half of the campaign.

The buck stops at unfortunate injuries and horrible coaching. Not lack of talent. 

 

Exactly.  He assembled some talent and I'm sure he'll bring in more.  Unfortunately two key guys got hurt (Oher and Kalil) that in my opinion changed everything. Missing those two in particular killed our offensive continuity, caused major re-shuffling on the line, hindered our ability to sustain drives and wear the other team down, etc. and subsequently put more pressure on the defense.   We weren't going 15-1 again with those two, but I bet we're 8-5 and in the hunt.

Dave needs to get in his time machine and make sure we don't pay big money to guys who are getting hurt next year.  Either that or just sign all-pros to back them up just in case.

When you go from 6th in Passing in to bottom of the league with different players.... yea how dare those coaches. That injury shtick is overblown

My god the defense is the reason we're in this whole. Specifically the secondary. That's on Dave 100%
