So just how much of a role did "pressure" actually play?

Cliche as hell...but we're always going to look back at this season as the "missed opportunities" season.  When we're on, we're still damn good (and had a lot of injuries).  We've gotten our ass handed to us some this year...but as weak as the NFL as a whole is (IMO), a 6 seed could've done wonders for us this year.

We played one of our best games last night. I thought for sure I was watching the 2015 team. I do think they hit the panic button and started pressing early. Everybody looked settled, they were having fun. Hopefully this carries over into Saturday when we play Atlanta. 

guaranteed.  Carolina owes Atlanta a christmas present from last year.

Was this team just too young to handle the increased pressure and expectations of the season?

 

Was it just me. or did the entire team just seem to be much lighter last night. Looked like they were having fun again. Had not seen that type of vibe since preseason. 

I've been afraid to say it on here...we are not as bad as the media would make it out to be.

Pass rush came alive.

DB's are settling in.

We are learning to call plays behind a patchwork O Line.

We aren't forcing the ball to KB at the expense of Ginn, Philly, etc.

 

There's a lot going on out there right now, but one of the more important....possibly some of the guys are remembering how hard it is to win in the NFL, when everything came somewhat easily last year.

I really don't believe it was pressure, as much as it was a lack of experience and chemistry earlier in the year. The defensive backfield pretty much was just lost, and this had repercussions for the entire defense. Offensively, the loss of Oher and getting back on track fuged up the line for a couple of weeks, Kelvin has been trying to get in sync all year, and Cam had to remember that there are receivers other than Benjamin.  Chemistry in team sports is real.

We got everyone's best game at the beginning of the season. Everyone was hyped up to play us. Losing vets in the secondary and lackluster effort from the front four along with bad bounces cost us the season quickly. Our oline quickly went from bad to worse during that time and we still can't keep a pocket around Cam.

When you have a target on your back the size of 15-1, you better bring your A game every Sunday, and we were unable to.

Oh yeah and the offensive playcalling is about as dynamic as the color gray.

Now that teams are starting to look past us a little, we're putting them on their heels and dominating them.

Or the Skins and Chargers just really suck.

This.

You laugh, dance, and take pictures while supremely stomping your enemies CAN come back to bite you....and it did.

We were all smiles, but forgot that there are grown ass men on the other side that have Igo and pride as well.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
