To the people freaking out after the win....

[Doc Holiday]

Ya’ll be tripp’n

We won the game! Our team is beat up bad! Any win when our team is in this bad of shape is a good win, no matter how it comes!

so do y’all even understand the game?

Did you even have a clue what to expect after the training camp?

Did you know that the Oline was in shambles before the season even started?

I’m not saying we can’t be a good team this year, but normally when you get struck by the injury bug this bad you’re lucky if you make the playoffs. Remember 2004 season anyone? Yup it sucks but it happens and I’m as disappointed as anyone. 

But this freaking out and calling for coaches to be fired after a win is ridiculous.

I think the problem is yeah we won, but we are decimated by injuries with no help in sight.

And Ron is still ultra conservative Ron

And Funchess is soft

When everyone on the roster is dying its hard to be super aggressive as you let the backups get their feet wet.

Pretty much

Not sure what the problem is.  We won.  Defense played great.  Our offense did fine considering the injuries we have.  Let's also give the Dallas defense some credit they are really good.  If McCaffrey doesn't fumble we at least get 3 pts on that drive and if Amini doesn't Amini than we get that extra point making the end a little less dramatic.  We literally dominated Dallas' offense.  

It wasn't a picture perfect win but it was a win damn it!  Losing Greg and Daryl sucks but it's football.  Thomas and Robinson will step up i think.

Imagine being a healthy super aggressive team and then lose to the bucs with a backup qb.......

Being happy with a win is fine. I'm happy. But I'm not going to pretend like I haven't seen this same song and dance play out before.

The issue isn't just injuries. The issue is more of the same struggles on offense in converting redzone trips into touchdowns and watching Cam Newton be the offense more often than not while our 8th overall pick fumbles the ball away with a chance to put 7 on the board.

We have plenty of talent, but that talent must elevate if we are going to get into the playoffs, because this division looks even more stout right now with the Bucs dropping 40+ points with Ryan f*cking Fitzpatrick.

We must get things on offense cleaned up. Remember our bye week is super early, and we have a hellacious stretch of games after that capped off with 3 straight divisional showdowns.

Stop clinging to the last remnants of Jerry Richadson football where just being good enough to not suck complete ass is alright while we once again watch Ron Rivera go into an ultraconservative shell at crucial points in games. Mediocrity is no longer the norm. Raise your expectations.

I’m pissed that Ron looks stoic.  Fire his ass now.  

I’m concerned about the offense. But I will use a bit of perspective.  Fist game with new OC, Band aid offensive line and your pro bowl TE going down.  These things might change a bit of what you do in play calling and play style.

 I also counted 12 points we left onthe field which were not due to conservative stoic play calling.  Some of that poo can be cleaned up.

4 of those 12 points were because of Cam. In the post game conference he stated it was his decision to not run a play settle for the field goal. 

The fumble was the other 6-7 points, what am I missing to get to 12?

LOL, fire Ron now?!?!?  Are you serious? LMAOOOOOO.  Fire him, and replace him with whom, pray tell?
