Ok yeah, there is plenty of blame to go around and this game will definitely go down as one we really could have won. After the pain has subsided a bit I hope every one will remember how hard we fought against a really good team. We didnt protect the ball perfectly but we protected it very well. We made some big plays in key situations. Our D-Line may have actually solidified itself as a top ten candidate for the season at pass rushing which is something we havent had in years.

I will continue to say that our team has incredible heart even if we sometimes lack mental toughness. As our confidence grows and we go through another offseason (hopefully picking up some real talent) we will be a strong team going forward.

If the the players continue to show the passion they did today, the wins will come.

They will beat Seattle if they play this well next week.

I agree, the way we played today makes me feel comfortable going into the Seattle game at home. Good opportunity to get a quality win going into the bye.

We cant be disheartened this is our team they battled and deserved the win, its time to stomp Seattle and get back in the playoff race. Remember one team got exposed tonight and it was not us.

While I know what you meant... Us giving other teams a blueprint in how to beat ATL... It can be argued that they exposed the fact that our safeties SUCK... Nakamura specifically... Don't even feel like ranting so ill stop

The time for moral victories has passed. Time to execute and win. It's that simple.

Rivera is going to make a change in that secondary, I'm sure he's not happy with Nakamura's atrocious playing. If he changed Adams for Pilares, I'm willing to bet Nakamura is on his way to the bench.

I agree about the moral victories. I just believe this is as good as we can play. That is what I take from this game. This was our best shot, period. That is players and coaches. Our talent level is not up to par with the top teams of the league. And by that I mean our guys are either too small or too slow to compete at some key positions on the field and they dont have skill enough to overcome those talent deficiencies. So with that being said when the team gives it everything they have and they still put up a decent showing against a top team I have to give them props.

I disagree on one thing. This isn't the best we can be. I don't believe that by a long shot. Unfortunately this team is not running on all cylinders just yet. we are not a well oiled machine yet. I see us getting there mid season though, I would only hope we can get to that peak with a .500 or better record.

That would be something.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
