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

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
