Just checked, we're OK

So I do love you Huddle.  Through the good times, and the bad.  But during the bad times (or after loses in general) there is a strong perception that the sky is falling.  Sorry y'all, it's just rain!  The Sky is ultimately still there!

So, we had a great 1st quarter, and then got disassembled by a very good defense.  Let's put things into perspective:  we're a field goal away from being 2-1.  Think on that narrative for a sec.

OK, we played a poo game versus a very good Vikes team.  Remember, we're the NFC Champs, and we have the most flamboyant QB in the league.  Everyone is going to give us their best game unless we put them down.  Look at the 49ers, we almost let them back into it before we slammed the door shut.  After the safety, we completely feel apart.  I think it's a correctable issue.

I am concerned about coaching moving forward.  Do we develop a shorter passing game to account for these crazy blitzes?  I'm just some moron on a football forum, not a professional football coach.  Thankfully my career isn't based on that!

Look up everyone, enjoy the rain.  Wash out the salt, tears, and angry "everyone sux" threads.  Atlanta is coming up, and it will be a battle to get our season back on track.

We've had slow developing routes since the Super Bowl.  I highly doubt Shula or Rivera are changing this.

I think will be fine.  Seems like there are some growing pains this year but we get on a hot streak.

The sky may not be falling but it feels like it, although I agree that all is not lost just yet. I also concerned about our coaches too. We fail to make adjustments to counter our opponents on both sides of the ball. I think the biggest adjustment would be better play calling; getting the ball out quicker. We'll see what we do in Atlanta.

If we can't generate pressure on the opposing QB, with our young and at times vulnerable secondary, it may be a long season.  I have faith in our offense.

Our defense is still the best unit on the field.

I can't be alone in realizing how spoiled we huddle vets were last year due to our ridiculous record. I forgot how much of a poo show this place turns into when we lose.

Carolina is fine in terms of making the playoffs since the NFCS is a shitshow.  But unless changes are made accross the oline, carolina wont be heading back to the superbowl. Cam was sacked 8 fuging times.  I would hit the panic button on the oline.

It's been longer than that but we did adjust some but completely abandoned it in the Vikings game.
