How the hell did we manage to go 11-5 in 2005?

Because Jake at the time was a little younger More mobile and had better field Vision at the time. But since Jake elbow surgry and his time offin 2007. Jake got worse since then. Jake is a lot older now. He doesn't play well in the pocket no longer. His Vision down field has gotten alot worse then it use to be. His throwing has been affected by the surgry he had back in 07. And upon all that his age has caught up with him now. Age is one of the main factors why his performance has gone way down.

Age is moot. There are many quarterbacks, older, who've had success.

Our defense in 2005 was crazy good. We had one of our best defensive lines EVER, and Lucas and Gamble were playing absolutely lights out. On offense we were "feeding the stud" to Steve Smith, who benefited from Hennings single minded determination to give his best player the ball. Also the 2005 Steve Smith was more explosive and nastier than the 2009 version.

Finally, the reason we were that "good" was because we ended up +16 in the turn over margin. Anyone can play the blame game, but it comes down to this, the 2009 have turned the ball over FAR too much early on. If we hadn't turned the ball over so much, who knows what could be happening, but I can say with certainty that we'd have won a few more games.

And all the way to the NFC Championship game with Jake Delhomme, Deshaun Foster, Steve Smith, Keary Colbert, and Kris Mangum as our starters ?????

The main reason why is b/c of Jake's passing skills (he actually went pro bowl that year), Steve Smith & our dominant defense. Desean Foster actually wasn't that bad; he managed to run 800+ yards that year. Our defense was spectacular! We were able to maintain most of the opponent RBs including Tiki Barber & Shaun Alexander (back when they were good) that year

peppers, rucker, witherspoon, a healthy morgan, gamble, lucas all pro year, minter

I agree, our defense was great that year, but we still managed to put up 25 points per game, good for 8th in the NFL. Our running game was average, but was that the year Steven Davis had like 12TD's. Not sure. We only had 1 legit receiver, and not many playmakers besides Smitty on offense. Was it Dan Henning?

I think the difference was that year they just let Jake Delhomme sling it. He had 16int's that year which is pretty high, but he just fed the ball to Smitty at will, which is why Smitty had one of the best season ever for a receiver.

      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.

      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.
