Josh Norman reaction to loss: "I don't know what to say. We just get our hearts ripped out every week. Down like this? Four seconds (left)."

Also, Steve Israel just said on the post game show, "I've never seen anything like this. This is my team and it's just gut wrenching... Had to change coverages or something... Don't know why we aren't covering everything (referring to preparation and coaching)."

a rookie is upset about a loss? rivera's in-game ability sucks, agreed. but destroying the future? that's a little rash.

What do you call it?

CJ already insinuated he was hoping the coaches were the ones fired last week. It's not just losing when guys are saying "getting your heart ripped out."

I dunno man - I get concerned about players mentality too.

You take these kids and keep putting them in situations where they could and should win but sabotage them? Not everyone is going to maintain an edge under that.

Moral victories aren't going to cut it for a full season.

don't know if he's referring to the coaching here

but yea this season is somehow topping last year as far as close, heart shattering losses.... even when we were up 19-7, I knew we would somehow find a way to lose... this has been the theme of the Rivera Era

As I said before, we're in the mess we're in now and stuck with this cloud hanging over the team and in the locker room because we let Fox hang around way too long after he lost the team and stopped caring.

According to CJ, the players gave up on Rivera and/or his staff weeks ago. When he keeps losing games with his decisions and these guys are out there giving it their all, the only way to deal with it is to compartmentalize - play the game, lose it, forget about it, get used to it.

LOL Sure...

Did you see what he said after last week's loss?

whatever he said after last week's lost is irrelevant after his play on the field today. if anything, the coaches lit a fire under his ass [as well as the rest of the d-line]. that doesn't sound like 'destroying' our future.

No it's not irrelevant. He's not playing for coaches, he's playing to win. Yet, the coach that they already don't like and don't want to play for sabotages his efforts again today... It starts to weigh on you.

Hardy has been doing fine. Today things went his way on the stat sheet. I'm not going to give Ron credit for what Hardy did.

      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.

      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.
