This team just can't overcome mistakes.

As Fox was showing the graphic and replays of missed chances to score Cam fumbles.

 

The gameplans on both sides of the ball have not been bad. However, there is NO margin of error for this team.

 

Steve Smith jumps up and down like he wins the lottery when he gets a first down and now I know why. Dude dropped the easiest TD he may get all season.

 

Lafell is hit right in the chest on a 4th and 1 the whole fan base has been asking for.

 

 

The Panthers are like a good hearted crack head. He really wants to do better but can't say no to very dumb things and always seems to have bad drama going on around him.

I'm glad that thus far I haven't seen many people harping on the 4th down decision in the first half, because I thought it was a good decision, and a good play call that had our #2 reciever just flat out poo the bed.  Second half is where crap really got bad, but although I'm pissed with Rivera, this game was more on very poor play by the players than anything.  Smitty is no longer a #1, and Lafell has no business being more than a #3-4 with his stone hands and ability to become the invisible man.  Ginn is sadly our best, and most consistent reciever right now.

IMO, its mostly mental by now.  We have lost so many close ones that we expect to lose when we go into the 4th quarter.  While I don't blame Rivera for all of it, I do think its going to take a complete change of staff, and maybe a few personnel as well, to fix it.  In truth we had the same issue in 2001/2002.  Great defense, crappy offense and a lot of close losses.

at the end of the day we have to stop "settling"..... settling on resting the plays that actual brought the success that kept us in the game, settling for starting below average players (O-LINE) in key positions, settling on not making proper personnel adjustments (coaching staff), and certainly settling on having a do it later or eventually within the game mentality! we can't win like this! and we don't deserve to get lucky! we deserve  as many heartbreaking sunday buttkickings  until we fix all of these issues not to mention our "Defensive- Minded" head coach

    • My neighbors won’t be talking sh1t about my flag this week!! Definitely wearing one of my jerseys to work tomorrow… Keep Pounding!!!
    • I agree we won't win a ton of games if our offense isn't a bigger part of the plan.  We didn't have to or try to do that today.  As Bryce continues to grow and get better we'll get more games from him and the offense carrying the load.  Yes, he, Canales and the rest of the offense has to be much more consistent in producing points on offense.  No question.  As you say, we've seen that in spurts.    Should a number 1 overall pick come out carrying a team?  No, despite what fans think.  It's rare for any young player to be born into the league fully formed.   What I saw today was mistakes being corrected.  I'm not going to try to gaslight you saying Bryce hasn't had his share of games we'd all like to forget but since his benching last year he has continued to get better and better.  No, it hasn't been in a straight line but that's just not reality for anyone.   Last year he had 9 picks in 14 games and 3 lost fumbles. This year through 3 games he has 3 picks and 2 lost fumbles.   The amount of pass attempts show me a staff and a team who are not afraid to pass.  They are not protecting Bryce more than any other team would protect their QB.  The rate at which we threw downfield last year shows me the same thing.  The number of potential game winning drives also point to the fact that we aren't limiting our passing attack.  We routinely put the ball in Bryce's hands to get a crucial 3rd downs and 4th downs.  The results are not always what we want but I don't see any lack of trust or faith in him. Tetairoa is tops or leading rookies in yards and catches.  Unless he's throwing it to himself, I'd say we are getting him the ball without too much trouble.  It would be even better if Tetairoa would put two hands on the ball when trying to catch those deep endzone shots.  Bryce hasn't earned an extension yet and he might not but he and the team had a great game today.  I'm going to enjoy watching all of them continue to grow together and hope those spurts start to get ironed out and this roller coaster has a few less dips. Keep pounding.
