The one person that cost us this game?

Mike Trgovac...

How hard is it to stop a HB draw (by a backup HB even) out of the shotgun formation that you KNOW is coming?........

Escpecially when the Giants ran that play like 10 times last week against the cowboys and alread several times against the Panthers last night.

What also gets me is that the last two weeks the Eagles and Cowboys played man coverage and brought extra pass rushers on every play. It always seems like Trgovac doesnt like to look at or do what others teams have done to opponents that has worked. The Giants offense sucked the last weeks cause of that strategy, yet it appeared to me the Panthers Defense decides to approach the game differently.

Oh well. There is more that irked me about the game last night, but if the Panthers can win next weekend it makes last nights lose not that bad.

We lost plain and simple. If we would have won in that fashion there would have been no excuses handed out to the Giants. I pretty much should expect the same on this board. Better team won. We either get better or don't.

What caused this loss was bad coaching, poor personnel decisions before the season started and injuries. Two out of the three could be corrected.

conservative playcalling from both sides cost us the game.

were up 21-13 and we get the ball twice in good field position yet we just sit on the ball.

until the giants could mustard up a comeback.then we go into super duper conservative mode,horrible coached game by us

That too, but Carolina defense is known for stopping teams and keeping us up. This team has did a 360 to our offense winning, and I dont think Fox realized it yet

Past several weeks I've read the defense speak about the offense

If I had to blame one person, it would be Ken Lucas. You're sympathy honeymoon is over Kenny.

'Bout time someone said it. I think some Brain cells were lost when smitty decked him. WTF is his problem?

And Smitty....Can you make that holding a little less obvious...Geez?

This is not Kasay's fault...

But if I have to point fingers, it was the D. I don't know if they were tired or worn out, they just checked out on a couple of drives(the game tying drive and the rape-job on the ground in overtime)

I'm just a little pi$$ed, cuz we really had that game

In all fairness though, the team on the other side are world champs 4 a reason. We had them down and laid down our swords in the 2nd half...that's why we lost!!! We thought the game was in the bag. We learned a huge lesson on national TV.

All in all, this will hurt for a couple of days, but I think this game will help us more than it will damage us. I want a rematch in the NFC championship game at their house. This is not over!
