Damn! Had to F-up and land on playing the Devils.

Week Defense tonight, Cam did really good, but not great.

We seemed scared/overwhelmed to be in the post season tonight. (Devil's brought their "A" game!)

Benefit of a doubt will be given for tonight's game.

Lets hope the next game goes better.

I thojght we looked slow against the devils in game one. We can not get into a trasition back and forth game with them. They are way too good at the transition game. We did not play good in center ice and could not get good quality ice time in the devils zone. We looked better in the third but the team had to realize this is the staly cup playoffs and play like they were playing.

My fear was that once the Canes actually lost, they were going to fall apart like they did last season after their little run (which put them close to the playoffs). Hopefully they will turn it back on, but game one certainly didn't give me much confidence.

This team, ever since the Stanley Cup run, doesn't seem to know how to play after losing. They will go on winning streaks occasionally, but as soon as they lose a game or two, they are useless for at least a week or two.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
