Not Shula. Not Rivera's fault.

You all won't like this at all. I don't care. Not going to lie in the first quarter with the way we started off on offense and defense. I turned to my wife and said fug. We are going to lose this damn game. We definitely were not prepared.

 

 

HOWEVER. Even with saying that. I just watched our last 2 drives where we had PLENTY of drives and PLENTY of options to win that damn game. We were in position not ONCE but TWICE to win this game. Even without Luke on defense. The defense stepped up and made a stop even when the Eagles ran that hey lets hate on Shula offense. Looked real damn familiar didn't it. 

 

I will tell you what lost us this game and I hate to say it. Call it on play calling all ya want but overall the decisions ON the field are made by ONE person and one person only. Look no further than Cameron Newton. He had the chance to win that damn game and completely effed it away. I remind you fugs I have 3 different #1 jerseys all of the ridiculously expensive types. 

 

I love cam and I will always have that man's back. But the decisions and the throws and pure on the field awareness completely let us down Thursday night and he was put in a position to win that game and further cement his legacy amongst the greats. He failed us. Even when our backs were against the wall and all signs pointed to nope. We still could have and should have won that game. 

He will bounce back but stop it with all of the secondary same old same blame game and take it for what it was.

How can you start your post by saying "we weren't prepared" and then not blame Rivera and shula? 

Then followed by... 

I'll always have Cam's back while throwing him under the bus. 

There's no excuse for Shula to be dialing up nothing but deep bombs when already past midfield with over three minutes on the clock. Every other team is taking advantage of soft coverage in that situation to pick up 5-10 easy yards a play. But not Shula, let's chuck it deep. The man is an indefensible idiot.

That's the thing. You guys act like there was only ONE option on the field for those throws. Nevermind the other 3 options Cam could have gone with... That's all on Shula though right. Because there was a deep play option and Cam decided to go to that route inoted is all on Shula... come on man.

That is the definition of not seeing the bigger picture. 

 

I'll go with the notion that the qb is the general and has multiple options whether that's go with choice a b or c.. heck with Cam he even has the choice roll out or make something happen with his feet.. 

 

That's not what he chose though.

Let's blame Cam when he literally had to say "screw Shula" and put his body on the line for what should've been an insane touchdown and fix up other mistakes.

Let's blame Cam for our crappy run blocking and forcing him to throw 52 times. Gee no wonder his arm gave out.

Let's blame Cam for literally being our offense.

Do any of you remember what I said prior to this game? 

 

There were a few very specific things I was worried about going into this game and they all ended up coming to fruition which almost makes me more mad than the fact we had 2 chances to still win it at the end and we blew it

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
