Some of you need to get away from football for a few days

The Colts followed our lead and played to not lose instead of playing to win. Go conservative with a lead and it can bite you. 

Yea they were handily winning that game with what they were doing. I was saying in that chat that I'm glad they lost...no reason to stop doing what was working the whole game. Really hate that type of football.

If they lose to the Vikings next Sunday(and it's possible), they'll have a .500 record.  

And a 3-game losing streak.

Sorry if we're a bit pessimistic at this point. 

Hopefully having CMC back will improve things and give us a shot next sunday, though...

And it still won't be the end of the season.

LOL, vast majority of the huddlers on here have a toxic relationship with the Panthers. The Panthers can bring us so much joy and yet incite so much fury. Kind of like sexual frustration, we just need to have angry sex and get over it. 

When you lose a game like that it will piss you off, I can only imagine how the players felt, especially the D.

The offense has to do things that put them in a better position. The whole "the players should execute no matter what we call..." is only true to a point. You have to design a scheme and call plays that the guys you put on the field have a chance of succeeding with. Next man up.....sure...but the next man up can't always do what the guy in front of him could... you can coach it up as much as you want. Coaches need to be flexible and find a way to help these guys out. 

They need to win first down....check downs, misdirection, move the pocket....win first down so your OL isn't facing a situation it has proven it can't handle. We can establish a run game...use it to set up the passing game.....

Oh Nevermind...I'm just gonna JUMP!

Some may take a break until Rhule realizes that a 15-6 lead is not poo in the NFL.  Stop playing to hold a lead and go for the throat 

The issue hasn’t been philosophy, I think we’ve been very aggressive. They genuinely thought they could sign o linemen with good measureables and coach them up. No matter what. They gambled and lost big time.

We had back to back turnovers from Donte and the next play after both was a run because we had the lead. That is not aggressive.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
