This is what I wanted to hear.

I suspect the defense steps up in a major way this Sunday.

 

This will result in a Panthers win.

 

Mark it down.

Sounds like he is blaming the players.  Wonder if he took last weeks performance to heart, coavhing staff just as much to blame

Hard to blame 12 missed tackles on coaches.

[Raskle]

I'm just wondering why it took getting beat a second time to have these guys take it to heart and be embarrassed. Wouldn't the shellacking they got last time be enough already?

[rayzor]

they should be. they were flat out abused. turned themselves into door mats.

they aren't the only ones who should be embarrassed. a few people on offense should be as well the last couple weeks, including the guy calling the shots.

i hope last week was a turning point. they;ve got a tough road ahead. they need to be tougher.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Three quarters of the way through the season and the players are still struggling with fundamentals?

Yeah, that may be coaching.

[Lumps]

I feel a win vs. the Saints would have proven our worth much much more than against the Vikings for many reasons. We NEED to be able to win against teams that are built and play like the Saints to get through the playoffs.

[Cary Kollins]

a lot of "what-ifs" from the saints game

what if Shaq makes the tackle on the Saints opening 4th and goal play?

what if Worley picks off that pass?

what if Ingram is properly flagged for false start on his 70+ yard rush?

what if the encroachment penalty is called?

 

 

A lot of flukey plays from last game resulted in what felt like a blowout.

The guys should be pissed. Hopefully that game wakes up what is supposed to be one of the best defenses in the league.

Easy to blame 12 missed tackles for a loss  than it is bad scheme bad play calls and poor coaching...

 

[Growl]

it was as near to a playoff game as you could get, they spent all week hearing how they didn't belong on the field with the opponent, and then they came out and demonstrated that they didn't care at all

if Sunday isn't one of the most intense and dominant defensive performances we've seen from the unit then it's time to just burn it down

Agreed, however Wilks took immediate accountability for those missed tackles himself and vowed that he would work to get better. Never heard Rivera hold himself accountable like Wilks has a lot this year.

What if Pep didnt manhandle the dude out of bounds on 4th down?

What if Palardy didnt have butterfingers?

Even Luke made himself look like the playoff game vs. San Fran. He got flustered early and that directly effected the defense. 

They just need to settle down.
