What we have given up with a loss, is control.

We have, however, never need control to dominate.

 

A loss tonight, I believe, benefits us more than a win tonight and loss at home.

We are such a capable team, and we have been given something that is best to learn from.

 

A loss.

 

The best comes from dominating, and not giving into, loss.

Which this team is more than capable of.

What do we have?

A weak OLine. Like strength wise. Weak. Our interior gets ridden backwards. It's happened all season. Cam bails them out because he's Cam. He escapes. But this line doesn't have enough horsepower IMO.

WRs who can't consistently get open. Or catch the routine play. Steve Smith needs to be in the slot IMO. He no longer has #1 ability. But who else do we have? LaFell.......I honestly wouldn't lose any sleep if we let him walk. I'd love to get the ball to Ginn on 3rd downs. Olsen has zero YAC ability but seems to be the only guy who consistently catches the ball.

We lack An aggressive offensive gameplan. Against a Saints team. Open it up. Option run after option run? Really? This team has slowly gone into conservative survival mode down the stretch it seems. Don't make mistakes. Let defense win it. Sometimes our D needs help. Option runs to 34 for 1 yard doesn't cut it. Did we not learn our lesson in Miami?

Even after a crap night I still think we are good enough to be 11-5 / 12-4. But we do have some glaring deficiencies.

this could be good for us...Ron and Shula went back to keep there playbook tight and not loose like we have been lately.  They looked at the game as too big....it was just another game and they preached this but did not do this.  They will learn and get it right...JETs up next..let's get the W.  KEEP POUNDING!!!!

Thats what I am saying, while I wish we won this game, I feel we benefit just as much to fix faults now than later.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
