Can we all admit it now?

Even i was shocked how the switch just flipped off. I was thinking that if there's any moment to get Bryce over the hunt this is it. Surely his confidence had to be brimming after feasting on soft zone down multiple scores all second half and he STILL folded immediately as soon as it actually mattered again and that was with nearly the Cardinals entire secondary out due to injuries at that point.

If this doesn't show people I have no idea what will wake them up.

You are right. All the games he won last year had no pressure because he knew we were not going to the playoffs. This game was a chance to go 1-1 and possibly 2-1 if we beat the Falcons next week so the pressure was on.

I’m so glad we recovered that onside kick and Bryce didn’t get the chance to hide behind his garbage time stats against a Cardinals defense that packed it in at halftime.

That was a defining moment for Bryce and as soon as the Cards had to actually play defense again he folded like a lawn chair.

The the commentary kept saying how good he was under pressure. My eyes do indicate he was not good under pressure.

    • Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why you got those back to back clock eating small ball 14 play drives.  Featuring RB and TE easy catches. 
    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
