Momentum

Recommended Posts

There was no excuse for the defense we saw Sunday however the offense does two things for the defense, it keeps them off the field and establishes momentum. We almost stopped them on the first drive and all but should have but a lucky fluke where the ball fell into Kittles hands derailed it. That is as deflating as anything including all the flags. If Kyle had hit Samuel on that deep ball in the end zone does our D come out with more passion?

It don't think it would have mattered. Shanahan had the perfect gameplan for us. And if our "elite" defense gets deflated after ONE lucky first down, then we are as soft as baby sh*t.

It was more then that, Keek even had a interception while we were still in the game, also saying cam makes a difference.

That ridiculous play by Kittle basically signified what we were in store for, anyone that's seen enough Panthers football over the years knows what I'm talking about. We got walked all over from the word go, the team looked like they never even really stepped off the plane.

You can obviously argue that execution was a problem, but that kind of loss with that much time to prepare is a very poor reflection on the coaching staff. Especially one helmed by a head coach that has been in and around the league since the 80's.

our D isn't that bad unless we face an O coordinator that knows how to scheme against luke.  saints, rams, 9'ers...  they all use luke's knowledge against him.   luke runs right to where the play is supposed to go, but with great O coordinators that's not where the play is going now and luke goes to the wrong place.    this isn't new.   its been going on for years.

Worst game I have ever seen Luke play. Several times he had no idea where to go, it was bad. Really, really bad.

Very true and Luke directs the defense and usually does it so well everyone completely trusts his judgment. Maybe he will learn from this game that whats on tape isnt always whays executed. However to put it all on the one player on D that made alot of special plays is crazy.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
