Game Grades - Panthers at Saints


Zod

Recommended Posts

In what could have been a glorious day for the Panthers organization, instead they are left desperately looking for anything that went right.

 

On with the grades...

 

 

Offense

 

From the gameplan to the execution, it all was severely lacking. Cam could not find open receivers. Brandon Lafell made key mistakes in receiving and blocking.  Byron Bell was beaten badly on too many occasions to count.

 

Overall, a very poor performance. Lets hope they all got it out of their system.

 

Offensive Grade: D-

 

Defense

 

Allowing over 30 points is never good. Pressure was never really put on Brees until it was too late. It seemed the Panthers gameplan was to drop back in a zone and dare Brees to beat you with his arm. An odd strategy to say the least. The result? One of the worst defensive performances in recent memory.

 

Defensive Grade: D-

 

Special Teams

 

Not much impact in this game. The missed field goal was bad, but really were the Panthers going to win this game with field goals? Heck no. Riverboat.... Come back!

 

Special Teams Grade: D

 

Coaching

 

This game had no chance of being won before the Panthers even set foot on the field. Looking at what the Panthers tried to do and the inability to adjust and create some positive plays was too much for any player talent to overcome. The Panthers were badly out coached by the Saints.

 

That is really all you need to know.

 

Coaching Grade: F

Clearly, Rivera has never been the answer.

The tempo was set with those first two scores, we needed touchdowns and bad play calling by Shula gave us 6 instead of 14. Overall a bad game for the team all around. I honestly expected New Orleans to come out strong after being embarrassed in Seattle and faced with a division game, sad that Shula and McDermott couldn't adjust to the Saints. Good game to the Saints, can't wait to see you guys in two weeks outside of that dome.

after tonight i cannot understand how there is still anyone standing to support brandon lafell.

he gets a pass because most fans, like myself, watch most games on televsion.

it is not until you see him in person that you can truly comprehend how worthless brandon is as a receiving threat. he is never open.

Shula has gotten worse over the course of the season IMO. It's like he knows now our defense is capable so he calls plays to not make mistakes and to stay safe...the personnel we put out there and the time share in the backfield boggles my mind. Clearly Tolbert should be our guy.

Except for the times when he was open.

    • Some national praise for Stankonia this fine morning... NHL playoff breakouts: 6 players opening eyes with their postseason performance Stankoven had an absolutely dominant Game 1 against Ottawa. At five-on-five, the team went up 19-5 in shot attempts, 2-0 in scoring, and earned a 93 percent xG rate in his minutes. Stankoven’s seven shot attempts and overall efforts helped contribute to 2.17 of the Canes’ 3.16 expected goals at five-on-five. ... After earning two primary points on the Canes’ goals on Saturday, he saved a goal in Game 2 that almost slipped over the line (and likely would have changed the tone of the game early), and added another of his own. 15 early takes from Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs 5. Stankoven’s a dawg The Hurricanes have a lot of dawgs — Martinook is one too — but Logan Stankoven deserves the title in his own way. Three goals through two games, not afraid of the moment, and his line with Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake is relentless. They’ve got an expected goal rate around 75 per cent at 5-on-5 so far. ***Bonus Round*** 4. Tkachuk has to settle into the moment Last Ottawa thought is that they’ve got lots of guys going. Tim Stutzle is all over it, Drake Batherson, Ridly Greig, these guys should’ve scored more than they have, but it’s like there’s a forcefield at the net. However, Brady Tkachuk hasn’t been on the ice for a goal for yet, and to me, it’s because he’s just so damn over-eager. He looks like he’s in a fist-fight with the puck out there and it’s blowing up on his stick way too often. He needs the opposite of smelling salts pre-game. He needs a chai tea and a fiction novel in the dressing room. He’s one of the rare guys you’d like to see calm down, rather than rev up.
