So just how much of a role did "pressure" actually play?

Cliche as hell...but we're always going to look back at this season as the "missed opportunities" season.  When we're on, we're still damn good (and had a lot of injuries).  We've gotten our ass handed to us some this year...but as weak as the NFL as a whole is (IMO), a 6 seed could've done wonders for us this year.

We played one of our best games last night. I thought for sure I was watching the 2015 team. I do think they hit the panic button and started pressing early. Everybody looked settled, they were having fun. Hopefully this carries over into Saturday when we play Atlanta. 

guaranteed.  Carolina owes Atlanta a christmas present from last year.

Was this team just too young to handle the increased pressure and expectations of the season?

 

Was it just me. or did the entire team just seem to be much lighter last night. Looked like they were having fun again. Had not seen that type of vibe since preseason. 

I've been afraid to say it on here...we are not as bad as the media would make it out to be.

Pass rush came alive.

DB's are settling in.

We are learning to call plays behind a patchwork O Line.

We aren't forcing the ball to KB at the expense of Ginn, Philly, etc.

 

There's a lot going on out there right now, but one of the more important....possibly some of the guys are remembering how hard it is to win in the NFL, when everything came somewhat easily last year.

I really don't believe it was pressure, as much as it was a lack of experience and chemistry earlier in the year. The defensive backfield pretty much was just lost, and this had repercussions for the entire defense. Offensively, the loss of Oher and getting back on track fuged up the line for a couple of weeks, Kelvin has been trying to get in sync all year, and Cam had to remember that there are receivers other than Benjamin.  Chemistry in team sports is real.

We got everyone's best game at the beginning of the season. Everyone was hyped up to play us. Losing vets in the secondary and lackluster effort from the front four along with bad bounces cost us the season quickly. Our oline quickly went from bad to worse during that time and we still can't keep a pocket around Cam.

When you have a target on your back the size of 15-1, you better bring your A game every Sunday, and we were unable to.

Oh yeah and the offensive playcalling is about as dynamic as the color gray.

Now that teams are starting to look past us a little, we're putting them on their heels and dominating them.

Or the Skins and Chargers just really suck.

This.

You laugh, dance, and take pictures while supremely stomping your enemies CAN come back to bite you....and it did.

We were all smiles, but forgot that there are grown ass men on the other side that have Igo and pride as well.
