Not that it's the reason we lost, but...

Well when we commit so many penalties, I think the refs have their hands on the yellow flag in anticipation and maybe through it too quickly. The worst call I think was that incidental touching of Hasselback's helmet in the 3rd or 4th, that was just ridiculous.

Yeah, that was another ridiculous call... but the missed blatant holding by more than one guy on that punt return directly resulted in 6 points. I don't know how the refs could have missed that?

I don't know, maybe all refs should have mandatory BAC testing prior to kick off. BTW, that one ref sounded like he was from Gastonia. Do not use him again!

Gave pie because I noticed that blown call right as it happened, as the punt return was right in front of me. That plus the incidental contact called for Hasselbeck really had the crowd fired up against the refs. Boos rained down until we finally made a few good plays and got a call or two to go our way. So much went wrong for us in this game, I guess you could say this is the snowball that started the avalanche.

The booing of the refs was hilarious. Me and my brother kept booing even when they made calls for us. That was a phantom call.

Not that it's the reason we lost, but if Capt. didn't get held badly on that punt return at the beginning of the game, then I don't know what holding is...

Rivera is right about us not getting calls.

Glad I'm not the only one who saw that! I raving mad screaming at the TV. How do you miss a call like that?

As bad as our STs are, no need to help out the other side with bullshit no calls like that.

The hold was questionable, they had him sandwiched. The guy between him and the returner had one hand on the front and on hand on his arm/shoulder.

If you are seeking someone to blame it on, blame it on Jason Baker who kicked the ball right to the sidelines without kicking it out, effectively neutralizing half of our kick coverage team. Or blame Dan Connor, he should be using the sideline like a 12th defender, and not standing almost right on it. He should have slid inside a bit more there, bc if the returner goes outside, then all he really has to do is get a hand on him to push him out. Plus it makes it an easier tackle for the trailing defender, Applewhite i think it was.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I think you have to factor in that we're still not an attractive proposition for Head Coaches. You're not getting the cream of the crop if you fire Canales a year after winning the NFC South, especially considering the situation he walked into.

      Yeah, I was about to say I hope he's doing okay health-wise because he's not looking good in that pic.

      Honestly, I dont  think he should be on the hot seat yet. A bad start to next year, then yes. Despite our mistakes on play calling this past season, we played better than anticipated overall. Bryce showed improvement and maturity (although still not nowhere close to our expectations). Better record and 2-15 to 5-12 to 8-9. Despite what we feel the stats dont lie we are improving by 3 wins a year. Could 11-6 be our expectation. That's a high bar but at the rate we are going, thats what its looking like. We all want to see a 5-12 to a 13-4 record but we are methodically moving up. Success doesnt happen overnight (well in most cases).  IMO we are struggling mostly on the defensive end. LB and edge are our biggest weakness. I see Bryce making improvements (even though I was a Bryce hater) next year. Biggest concern is LT on offense. How to fix this? We need a big name edge or to trade up and get a big name edge or LB and pick up one in FA and draft one. Also if in the 3rd we can pick up a TE. Dont know if Sanders is the answer or Tremble (even though I love Trembles blocking and power after the catch). If these two can get their footwork together they would be great. Maybe all they need is a better TE coach. And if Brooks can stay healthy and be the back we thought he could be, man that would be great
