Just watched a replay of the 2006 NFC championship game between the Panthers and Seahawks and I'm shocked Holmgren wants anything to do with Delhomme after the performance he witnessed in that game.

I forgot how bad Jake was in that game. Wasn't all his fault, we had no running game and he was getting no protection... but some of those picks he threw rival the Cardinals playoff game for "what was he thinking?"

Evidence that shows that without a running game... can frustrate a QB's game. Andy Reid never gets that memo. But McNabb is at least mobile unlike Delhomme.

Plus Smitty getting triple covered all night didn't help the passing game obviously.

Who didn't see that coming anyways, with such a big game like that.

I mean as soon as I heard that crowd I was like.. "We're doomed" without Foster and Davis, playing the best team in the NFC that year also.

yeah that game was a wash. We just got too beat up in the playoffs to take them on.

You can't really win the game with Jamal Robertson at RB.

But yeah Jake's INTs were inexcusable, he played terrible that game. It's too bad that his last two playoff games completely ruined his reputation as a playoff QB.

If we had D Will and Stew back there it would have been a mute issue. Deshaun was not capable and once Nick got his bell rung, it was over.

we walked out of that bears victory battered to the point of no return

too many players got hurt, Foster broke his leg, and Jake couldn't pick up the slack, especially when your no.1 weapon is being quadruple covered and Keary Colbert is running around aimlessly

i sometimes forget how fuging great that season was though. it was all defense and smitty. every week was an 89 highlight reel. and then we got those 6 wins in a row in the middle of the season. then routing the Giants in the meadowlands, fug yeah.

I remember in that victory over the Giants, sometime in the middle of the 4th qtr when the game was decided, the camera showed a fan holding a sign he obviously just made saying, "Big Blew It".

I loved it.

      After Graham, next best Dline players

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Current draft order NYG, NE, JAX, TN, CLE, LV, CAR. We need to ask ourselves "what is the biggest need of those teams heading into the draft"? And, "What positions do we know are not major needs for the teams above?" JAX is terrible, but we know they won't be drafting a QB. The Patriots won't be either. The Raiders and Giants definitely need a QB. The Browns have one under contract, but he's been terrible since they signed him. I could see all 3 of them eyeing QB's. Hunter is a wild card. He could be the first player taken. Or, he could slip because some teams may not want to deal with his insistence on playing both ways. A team with a bad O-line may want to go LT TMAC is going to appeal to a team that needs a playmaker at WR. If CB is major need, I could see Will Thomas (or Hunter) coming off the board prior to our selection at #7. It's possible that Graham could fall into our laps. Then again we haven't factored FA into the equation. A lot of these teams will lure some players just because of the large amount of dollars they afford to play them and fix some needs before the draft. It's going to be an interesting off-season.

      PFF: grading WR by ability to separate, YAC and catching the ball

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Sure, but despite being targeted less, he has more TDs than Odunze and more y/r than Nabers (and same number of TDs).  He's got a very similar y/r as Worthy.  He isn't stacking up that poorly to other WRs, but he has trailed off late - something that imo may indicate injury or needing to improve conditioning. He's not ever gonna be the best WR in this draft class, but he'll be in the top 3-5 with a bit of improvement imo.

      Oh for sure. With Rod it’s never the defenses fault. I think someone posted this in Reddit a while back. Rod with the forwards. Rod with the defense.
