Biggest thought from today

If you didn't play the angle that Tepper was a former (partial) owner of the Steelers and Mike Tomlin thinks he's a bumbling retard, and wanted to beat his ass, then you are as big of a loser as this organization.  

Meanwhile, I'll be having a porterhouse, loaded baked potato and all the liquor one can consume on my winnings from knowing the Panthers will always Panthers and find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

My biggest (and most surprising) thought from today :

 

Sam played better than I expected him to.

He also had zero turnovers (which has always been an issue for him career-wise). 

He also threw the ball away instead of forcing it which was also an issue of his.

 

All in all, he played a very steady game.

Unfortunately he also showed that he lacked Game-Awareness like knowing when to run and when not to.

 

Hopefully he fooled some GM out there into thinking he'd make a good backup for his team...

...in the meantime, I would love to see Corral get a LEGIT shot next season.

Run the ball

Stop the run

Win in the trenches on both sides

Get off the field on 3rd down

Time of possession

We accomplished zero of these which is a pretty solid formula to win in the NFL. We were outcoached and both our offensive and defensive gameplans were JV-level of coaching. It felt like a Ron Rivera kinda L for sure.

My biggest take away from today is that we need more beef up front on both sides of the ball. And not only big but nasty as well.

We also very much need a serious upgrade in coaches and most likely a new GM as well, at least I'm on board for it. Let's start there and work our way down the list, it's a very long list.

I was somewhat surprised because I thought our offensive line was better than it showed Sunday after seeing how they got pushed around and beat up pretty bad.

They are much better than last years group and that's not debatable.  They just went up against a better defense, at least game plan wise. They held up better than I expected for most of the game. 

Pittsburgh is a tough team to out muscle when their back is against the wall. Tomlin needed this win just as badly if not more than Wilks.

There was no was they were going to let the Panthers run on them. You can bet your ass he made sure of that. He dared us to beat them with  Ben McAdoo calling pass plays for Sam Darnold.

    • I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore 
    • Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it. 
    • Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
