Some Perspective Being Provided Today... Perhaps?

New York just blew out the Niners. The Raiders barely lost to Atlanta. Seattle just took the lead over the Patriots late in the game with a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Sidney Rice (IIRC).

This doesn't excuse our coaching staff from their blunders, but it does mean perhaps we aren't as bad as many of us, including myself, think at this point.

I've always said we have enough talent, but if we had adequate coaching it would push us over the top for wins any given Sunday. Today illustrated that there might still be some hope if we can get it together down the home stretch, but I won't allow myself to hold my breath for it, lol.

The difference between these teams and ours is they have the staff to push them over the hump.

We can't close games.

Yup, and it holds true year in and year out.

Look at our few successful years, especially 2003 versus 2001. Look at how many games we lost in 2001 in the 4th quarter or more specifically the last few minutes of the game.

Look at how many we won in 2003 in the 4th quarter. It's about mental toughness, will, and playing from the start to the stop of every game. That last part seems to be the biggest thing we lack since our last playoff year... We never play a complete game.

Fanthink rarely puts things in proper perspective.

The team is never as good as the homers believe, and never as bad as the negativists (who will all tell you they're realists) make it out to be.

Watching lots of non-Panther games can certainly help give you a more realistic basis for comparison.

i'm glad you clarified that.

very agreed with the thread. having a chance to step back and see a few "any given sundays" happen and look at the teams we are going to be facing the rest of the way...lots of teams have problems just like us. lots of frustration in those teams and many of them are on our schedule the rest of the year.

may not be playoffs, but i don't feel hopeless at all. we can pull of an 8 win season. still short of where i thought and hoped we'd be, but better than last year.

it all depends on how they come out of the bye week, imo. but even with that...as bad as the teams are we are facing the rest of the year we could still pull it off.

      Canes got booed off the ice

      Canes in six what years?    I'll be shocked if they win one game not to get swept lol if you think that I urge you to go watch the press conference that's a team that's mentally beaten and has no answers.

      Disagree that CB is a massive need.

      This sentiment is really starting to bother me. Because, you are right. We do have one of the most well run organizations in the league. And, a lot of fans seem to think that Rod is that entire organization. This line of thinking completely discredits all of the hard work that GMs, scouts and players have put in to make the team what it has become. Not to mention the impact that the ownership change has had on the team. You will never hear me singing the praises of a billionaire. But, the fact is, we went from a cap floor team to a cap ceiling team under TD. Have we dramatically improved from the dark old days since Rod took over? Absolutely. But, he wasn't the only one contributing to that rise. And if he leaves, the house of cards isn't going to magically crumble. At this point, we've seen enough players leave and flourish (or come here and wither) to know that isn't true. The organization isn't one man. But, one man is responsible for setting lineups, line combos, d pairings and drawing up set plays. And, to me, that is what lost us these 2 games in embarrassing fashion. I don't believe that Florida is just some unbeatable juggernaut running roughshot over the league. Last I checked they didn't go 82-0. If you believe this is a personnel issue, by all means, bame the players, the scouts and the GMs. Blame everybody but RBA. If there was one player or position group to blame, I would tend to agree with you. When an entire team collapses, it's not on the players. It's on the leadership and they are the ones who should be held accountable.
