The Huddle Stages of Coping with a Loss...

Recommended Posts

1. Retardation

"Fire Chud! Bench Cam! D-Will sucks! There goes the season!"

2. Rationalization

"We beat ourselves, they didn't win."

3. Acceptance

"Well, it was just one game. They play again next week."

4. Optimism

"We will destroy the Saints*!"

Sounds about right. Spot on actually.

Pretty much everything bad that happened on Sunday is a very correctable mistake. We didn't get rolled over and aside from the overly cute play calling (vs a very downhill bucs D), stupid penalties and lack of communication for blocking assignments we played a really good game and could have easily demolished that game.

Unfortunately this is the same stupid stuff that didn't sort out until week 9 last year. Lets hope a loss let's this team know that they need to clean up their play ASAP.

edit: I also forget that nobody really had any idea of what to expect from schiano. I can see how he's kind of like a fox 2.0, but I think he's a hell of a lot smarter and really toughens his guys up. They did not play soft read and react D like foxy loves. Even though he likes to run a lot he mixes things up with short passes and screens to keep 3rd down manageable... aka no 3rd and 18 draw plays...

I was upset we lost for a whole 10 minutes. Then started thinking about dinner.

I lol at people who let things like losing take a toll on their week and demeanor.

BUT THE PANTHERZ ARE MY LIFE BROSEF. YOU'RE NOT A TRUE FAN!

Yeah, I hate those people. 1 week, we should've won, we didn't. Get ready for Week 2.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
