Give it up to Gettleman

Yeah, the loss fuging sucks and the refs were horrible.

 

Anyways, wanted to make a post to recognize what a fuging turnaround Gettleman made here, especially considering the cap situation we had and the holes he had to fill just to give us a full roster.

 

Love this guy so far and hope this is just the beginning.

That's the one bright side.  DG has proven to have the ability to find guys via the draft or free agency who can contribute beyond their cap number.  He's going to need to do that again if we are to have any chance to get back to the playoffs and choke again next year.

Gettlemen needs to address our O.....something he didn't this year.

And no, Hixon and Ginn aren't examples. Those were just depth ticky tack roster moves. Our roster was so weak....guys like Ginn became huge parts.

Gettleman is smart.  I'm sure he will look closely at all the players and make the right moves not made on emotions or playing favorites.  We made some offensive play calls today that did not make sense.  Cam played poorly the last three games.  Smitty's chances are slipping away and I feel sorry for him. He always gives 100%.

Offensive calls always look bad when not executed.... For example Wharton tackling Tolbert on the goaline.

They also frequently look bad when you have to traditional rush threat and Ted Ginn Jr and Brandon LaFell are your only WRs legitimately playing.

Talent in the NFL > coaching. Most coaches at this level are good enough if you have talent.

Cam looked like a juggernaut and great today......as everyone noted at halftime.

Then his one real WR was forced to run decoy routes with a bum knee.

Yep. I started to get angry near the end of the game before it hit me how far we went year one with stop-gaps and one defensive draft. Focus on offense this year, get Newton a #1 WR, get a complementary TE, and get someone to compete with Bell at RT. Add some talent at CB and we're looking really good.

 

Hate to be one and done, but I think we're going to be fun to watch going forward.

      Jonathan Brooks parts of Joe Person Athletic article dec 8

      This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
