The game I saw last night!

General rule of thumb: commentators suck and the analysts don't predict hardly ANYTHING (important) right.

And yeah, I noticed that at least one of the kickoff returns by the Panthers was done from the goal-line. I was "wtfing" the entire time, considering Jones is a beast on returns.

I've wondered from the time Davidson was hired why so many fans were so excited. Isn't Davidson an ex-lineman? How do you make an ex-lineman the architect of your offense? I think the offensive co-ordinator should be someone whose entire football experience was focused on moving the football into the end zone, not on knocking somebody down. Ex-linemen should be line coaches.

I was on here about 2 weeks ago and bad mouthed this guy after confusing/comparing him with DAN HENNING & people here let me have it. JEFF abandoned the original PANTHER gameplan and tried 2 get cute lastnight and the past 2 weeks by trying 2 convert us into a passing team....with FAKE GOHOMME as quarterback..and we ( and the entire world ) saw the humiliating outcome.

I dont have a problem with Davidson being a lineman, if you can get 11 guys to get 10 yards every three downs i dont care if its peewee herman. Most people think, and i tend to agree, Foxy has his ass sitting on the back of Davidsons neck. Like to truely know what Davidson can do if he is unrestrained but I doubt we will ever know...

Just read Scott Says... and he said The game reminded me a whole lot of sitting in the press box at Seattle for the NFC Championship game in the 2005 season. Carrying on my previous post, it's a comment like this from someone who knows better that also makes me angry.

Reminded you a lot of the Seattle NFCC game? No, it doesn't.

That game, we were lucky to be there. That season we were plagued by injuries and some incredible "omg, we should never have won that game" type of situations. Seattle had been dominate throughout their season and in their playoff game the week before. No matter who went into Seattle that week was going to have a tough time.

We ended up being the ones going in, but I don't know anyone who felt like we had a legitimate chance of winning that game. I watched, I cheered, I saw the loss coming. But while disappointing that we didn't win, I knew going in that it was a long shot so I was just happy to be there. I had no expectation of coming out of that game a winner.

Last night's game was different. We should have won that game. We had good reason to believe that we would.

Or at least, if we were destined to lose the game, we should have been competitive in it.

But we weren't.

I'm angry.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
