Just watched a replay of the 2006 NFC championship game...

Just watched a replay of the 2006 NFC championship game between the Panthers and Seahawks and I'm shocked Holmgren wants anything to do with Delhomme after the performance he witnessed in that game.

I forgot how bad Jake was in that game. Wasn't all his fault, we had no running game and he was getting no protection... but some of those picks he threw rival the Cardinals playoff game for "what was he thinking?"

Evidence that shows that without a running game... can frustrate a QB's game. Andy Reid never gets that memo. But McNabb is at least mobile unlike Delhomme.

Plus Smitty getting triple covered all night didn't help the passing game obviously.

Who didn't see that coming anyways, with such a big game like that.

I mean as soon as I heard that crowd I was like.. "We're doomed" without Foster and Davis, playing the best team in the NFC that year also.

yeah that game was a wash. We just got too beat up in the playoffs to take them on.

You can't really win the game with Jamal Robertson at RB.

But yeah Jake's INTs were inexcusable, he played terrible that game. It's too bad that his last two playoff games completely ruined his reputation as a playoff QB.

If we had D Will and Stew back there it would have been a mute issue. Deshaun was not capable and once Nick got his bell rung, it was over.

we walked out of that bears victory battered to the point of no return

too many players got hurt, Foster broke his leg, and Jake couldn't pick up the slack, especially when your no.1 weapon is being quadruple covered and Keary Colbert is running around aimlessly

i sometimes forget how fuging great that season was though. it was all defense and smitty. every week was an 89 highlight reel. and then we got those 6 wins in a row in the middle of the season. then routing the Giants in the meadowlands, fug yeah.

I remember in that victory over the Giants, sometime in the middle of the 4th qtr when the game was decided, the camera showed a fan holding a sign he obviously just made saying, "Big Blew It".

I loved it.

    • What people fail to understand is Lance had a college career that lasted about as long as teenage boys first intercourse.  To say he was raw was an understatement.  So much so that even a QB whisperer had a difficult time molding him into a polished NFL product on top of multiple nagging injuries.  The dud is in his mid-twenties, finally healthy and little miles on the tread.  Low risk, high reward.  If he's available, it would be stupid not to kick the tires.  It took Darnold and Mayfield to hit their 3rd or 4th team for things to finally click.  This is Lance's 3rd stop, I believe.  It's either time for it to click for him or be relegated to a full time backup. Roll the dice....
    • Wrong.  At least we put a QB sneak in the play book and and add plays over 20 yards.
    • I don’t know if people realize that Evan’s was one of the top TE prospects in college  before having some horrible injuries. I wanna say he had two major injuries in back to back seasons which limited his play and dropped his draft stock.
