J. Delhomme 15 for 35, 196 yards, 3 INT, Passer Rating 34.9

No, that wasn't against the Cards, that was Jake's LAST playoff appearance, against Seattle. How many more times do I have to hear, "Sure, he's a mediocre QB but he turns it up in the playoffs?" With the Carolina running game many folks would say all we need is a system QB, I don't even think Jake can handle that.

I think this season was another case of smoke & mirrors. We came out with a 12-4 record but we won some games we all know we shouldn't have. Starting with the first game at SD. You look at playoff caliber teams for the year and you just "know" they are playoff teams. You look at the Panthers and you know there are 3 or 4 plays that if they never happened, we're 9-7 or 8-8, or worse.

You know, I have followed the Panthers since the day they set up shop. I'm one of thier biggest fans and will continue to be. HOWEVER, I have to say something. I was not suprised last night. To be honest, I don't think ANY die-hard Panthers fan was shocked at what happened. Any other fan of any other team in our exact same position, 12-4.....2nd seed in the conference....bye week.....home game....Would have been utterly flabbergasted at that performance. LOL, I knew we had as much chance of throwing up that stinker as we did of playing well. There's something wrong with that picture. We KNOW that with our D, our QB, our coaching philosophy, we can play like champions, or play like a 2nd division college team on any given day.

Head coach. Things DO get stale. Fox may be the best coach since Lombardi, BUT, he's not the best right here, right now. If we got rid of him he'd have a new HC job in an hour. So what? So did Dungy when he got the ax from Tampa, (AFTER MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!)

My 13 year old son and I watched the game, (well, 28 minutes of it), I never thought he was the most astute judge of football mechanics until he asked this question: "Why is number 11 alone all the time?" Guess I should have had him call Turgovac maybe?

All the homers can climb into the "way-back" machine and go back to 2003. That one year makes everything great for everyone? I don't think so.

Exactly. Seems to happen a lot with our defense.

It wasn't a shock because none of hte teams I ever pull for win (not because I picked the underdog, either).

I knew something was going to blow up, but after an opening drive like that and just in general, I did not expect it to be a complete blowout.

I might've expected to lose... but not like this...

:rolleyes: Don't mention the road victory the first week of the 2005 playoffs against the Giants (23-0) or the game the week before the Hawks in Chicago. Jake goes 24/33 for 319 and 3 TDs.

By the time the Panthers got to Seattle they were so banged up Jamie Robertson was our running back. The Panthers were completely outschemed by the Hawks with triples most of the time on Smitty as the Panthers had no weapons left. Cracks me up Panther fans would go all the way to the '05 playoffs looking to discredit Delhomme. :frown2:

His last two playoff games, Delhomme's average was in the 30's and he gave up 8 INTS. Spin it, baby.

mid-30's avg QB rating, 8 INTs, 2 games.

Man, is he clutch.

      lmao that's a good point; but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...
