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.

      It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.

      You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
