On WFNZ this morning, went thru his usual comments on the past game and then started talking about the Titans.

Said Tannehill is a much better option than Mariota at this point, Marcus got sacked over four times a game, Ryan only about 2.5. Also said Ryan is reading the defenses better. Said Titans run a lot of three TE sets so look for Panthers to be in their base 4-3 a lot 

Thinks Titans D will give Panthers problems like the 9ers did. They mix their calls up a lot and hide what they’re doing well. Usually only rush 4-5 guys and are getting to the qb.

That’s good analysis. They also play some man press. And they have physical guys outside on defense.

On offense, they do love the TE. #81 Jonnu Smith appears to be a Tannehill fav: 9 rec on 10 targets the last two weeks, 142 yd, 6 first downs and a TD. That’s a healthy set of metrics for a tight end. He’s a guy I would be concerned about.

Should be a physical game.

So, Jonnu Smith is Tennessee's Kittle. I hope I don't hear his name as often as last week on National TE Day!

There were no REAL positives from that 49ers game but one thing that I think has been helpful has been the general realization of what Kyle Allen has been the whole time. As Greg says, no one in the league has considered him more than an average starter or good backup QB. 

I think most of the fans got that, finally. Obviously not the militant Cam haters but they are beyond hope and really probably not actual Panthers fans anyway.

Super glad to have Kyle. He may well fix a HUGE hole in our roster(serviceable back up QB) which has existed since Anderson had begun to decline. But, we are going to need Cam back to fight for a playoff spot. We have a good team but not a great team without Cam. With 100% Cam, it might be a great team.

Yeah, there’s nothing good that comes out of the fringes of Twitter. Anywhere you find extreme opinions, you probably want to move a little more towards the middle find the truth. Kyle was never going to be the starter here long-term. I had visions for him being the number two guy here, because he has a pretty good grasp on the system. But he has limitations. Nothing has been “exposed”. It’s exactly what I thought would happen if the game got out of hand early.

One thing Cosell didn’t say: this needed to be a ball control, low-scoring game for Carolina to win. It was the formula we talked about all week, and within the first 20 minutes, the game was over. And a lot of that is on Kyle. But a lot of that is on the defense, too. It’s OK to assign credit or blame to multiple areas. It’s called nuance.

One part of that interview absolutely pissed me off.

Cosell said that the 49ers didn't do anything special with us on offense, they just did the same thing they've been doing every game this year.

So it's not like there wasn't tape to review.

Heck it's not like this wasn't something we'd already seen for a couple of years before.

Given that Rivera should have damn near intimate knowledge of how Shanahan runs and offense by now, and noting that the 49ers weren't doing anything outside their usual MO, I would have been okay if we had just lost this game. But under those conditions, getting run all up and down the field like we were a scout team is just inexcusable.

LG just reminded me that this also came after a bye week, so we actually had extra time to be prepared and we came out looking like that.

That...is a crock of sh-t.

too much time can actually be a bad thing. Pretty well established that Ron doesn’t do well with extra time.   Even in his win streak the team was playing bad and and beating bad teams.  

His resume basically was the one Seattle game and teams that looked poorly prepared. 

Maybe given all that time the Panthers overthink it all and do too much tinkering.

Doesn't he always give the team the bye week off?

It's a possibility.

Same result, though. Either way we wind up looking unprepared or unfit.

I’m still fine with where we are.  Needed to split SF/GB.  Need to win this week.   Think we can do both. 

We are a better team than Tenn and it is at home.  We historically do well vs Rodgers and he plays into what we do well

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
