There were a lot of problems today but im just pointing out this one area. For anybody that wants to give this guy any credit for that INT. They challenged him the entire game and tried to take advantage of the worst guy in the secondary. The past deflection in the endzone was another test, they new how bad this guy sucked and refused to let up off him at all. Jones was silent the entire game until the 4th quarter, i knew something was up the way they were playing offense and they won the game off it. If you play a safety 40 yards off the ball of course teams are gonna be curious why and try to expose that. they forced us to play 11 on 11 today and not 10 on 11 and exposed the weakest link in the D. This is on the coaching staff once again, how the hell did we cut Reggie Smith over this guy? Nakamura really has not done anything all season to deserved to be on the field and they showed us why today.

Yup and our DC did not adjust one bit. There is big line between trusting your guys and leaving them on a fuging Island and McD did that with Naka. He is not a great player and never should have been relyed on after the ATL targeted the second time. Never adjusted to it and cost us the game.

The funny thing is, if you go back and watch some of the game, it appeared that we were actually relying on Nakamura more than any other player in the secondary. It may have been because we knew he'd be targeted, but some of the plays where we gave up a big pass, it appeared Nak was telling Norman or the LBs that they were supposed to stay with their man even if he dropped underneath them.

On the INT, it seems like we were playing the seams/post route and using Nak as a sort of "spy" to jump them. It bit us in the butt big time.

Once he looked like someone off of this message board defending that first White TD pass, we should've given Martin a look. They were going after him...

The entire secondary is suspect. After Gamble whom is average himself its basically a free for all. We are making average at best QBs looks like superstars. How can Matt Ryan even still be on the frontpage suggested as a MVP? 7 SACKS don't mean anything when a QB can throw the ball to anyone at will. That's not his talent that's the opponent's weakness! They won the game on some Madden 11 crap! smh

That's what happens when you rely on another team's backup to come and save the day. Our late rd Cb and backup safety have been exposed during the last couple weeks. Big surprise. The worst part is that Hurney had the entire offseason to address the needs but did nothing except bring in backups to compete.

He is a FS....he wasn't on an island.

It isn't McD's fault that Nakamura kept letting guys behind him. he wasn't suppose to do that.....the only way to adjust is to line him up like we did against the NYGs.

The only average QB we've played so far is Freeman, and he didn't really do much

We'd have a pro-bowl FS if we could put Nakamura and Martin together. For what Martin lacks in toughness and tackling ability, Nakamura lacks in athleticism and ball hawking.

Nakamura has tackling ability? Lol he side steps the player before he "tries" to tackle him. Michael Turner scared the poo out of Nak on a few runs today.

So he could not have sat him on the bench? That was not in his power?

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
