On the one hand, the offense sucking in the second half, and Cam throwing 2 picks could be considered the culprit for allowing the Falcons to come back. On the other hand, the defense allowed more points in the second half than we scored all game.

I'm going to blame Mare though, cause I'm sick of his poo.

Yea you do realize the defense gave up more points because our offense set up shop for theirs right?

Offenses fault period, 0 points in the second half when the d is down to its 10th string DTs and LBs. The D played well, they deserve an ovation for their efforts actually.

Chud + Cam poo the bed.

Excusing the defense because they're supposed to suck and managed not to suck for two quarters doesn't work for me, sorry.

Coaching staff gets all the blame. The playcalling was completely horrible late in this game. How do you fail to convert on 3rd&2, 3rd&3 and the like? At one point (after Abraham jumped the line early, putting us at 1st&5) we couldn't gain a single yard for four straight downs. Rivera, run the ball at least once in that 1st&5 situation!

Then as someone said before, they played conservative late at the end of the 1st half, and Cam was shaking his head, probably the lack of energy getting to him at that point. I know Cam messed up big time, I know all too well we should have cut Mare yesteryear, but the playcalling was putrid late in the second half. If Cam is struggling, go back to a conventional running game. (Not that crappy read offense)

WTF happened to the playcalling? Starting at the end of the first half, it was like watching Foxball again.

Put that drive at the end of the half out of your mind. It didn't matter.

If we look at our first drive of the second half, we weren't going conservative. Basically 2 passes, 1 run, and 1 of the passes was pretty deep I think.

Remember we were moving the ball before Cam's terrible first interception. that was not a play call problem, that was a terrible decision on his part.

Second interception came while we were moving the ball, too, though it was after a terrible holding penalty.

Fourth drive of the quarter ended before it began with a terrible penalty.

Fifth drive the Falcons made a great play on another short pass to stop Stew short. Don't usually see Stew stopped by the first guy on what seemed a sure fire first down.

Sixth drive Mare cost us the game...

So I don't think it was playcalling through most of the 2nd half, though the run-run-screen on the fifth drive was weird and predictable.

The final drive though, 1st and 5 and we forget that we have to get a first down to keep the drive alive. Inexcusable.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
