I was a fan of that guy when played them earlier this year, they scored a TD and we had a personal foul, the ref's assumed they would take the yardage on the kickoff and he was like hell naw, we are going for 2 from the 1 yard line.

Pederson seems to intimately understand the concept that scoring wins.

He is definitely unorthodox . Every game, all year he did it without hesitation. He had a lucky horseshoe in his pocket that is for sure. There is something to be said about having 100% confidence in your players though. Didn't matter if they lost Sproles, Jason Peters, Wentz, etc for the year.......he coached the same way with the foot on the gas all year.

Counter point:  what happens when your guys don't make those plays?

It's about a lot more than the play call, but the team mindset.  In 2015, the Panthers were a radically different team.  They had a different mindset, and they were the best offense in the NFL that season with the MVP QB with MIKE F'ING SHULA.

Some of it comes from the top, some from the players.  If the Eagles had lost the game, what would be the mindset on the huddle?  A lot of this feels like some major knee jerk reactions.

I think we can all agree that we need to make plays and play to win.  Until we don't, and we should have just kicked that FG and played defense... =P

There are sins of omission and sins of commission.

At least, as far as I'm concerned from a football standpoint, sins of commission are more easily forgivable because at least you gave it a damn try instead of sitting back in fear that you'll make a mistake and cede all momentum to the opponent.

Being aggressive is a double-edged sword. It can definitely blow up in your face. Of course, so can playing conservatively. We've seen that a lot here.

The question becomes whether you'd rather risk losing by going big or play it safe.

 

You can be aggressive when you trust your personnel and scheme....IMO Ron trusts neither.

That might change with Norv in charge of the offense.

Makes for an interesting question though. If he didn't really have that kind of faith in Shula, why did he stick with him for so long?

You'd have to be a real coward to be so afraid of change that you'd choose to stick with somebody you don't think is very good.

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
