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.

      2024 Draft Picks

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      IMO Xavier Legette: Very up and down season, with more downs than ups. The hands/body catcher thing is a MASSIVE red flag. He has all the talent in the world but if you are this deficient in your fundamentals, it is a very steep learning curve at this level. I suspect we are going to be talking about him as another failed Panthers WR pick in another season or two. Jonathan Brooks: What more could be said that hasn't already been said? I feel for the kid but taking a RB in the 2nd round is not smart. Taking a RB coming off an ACL tear is WILDLY moronic. One of the worst draft decisions in the Tepper era. Trevin Wallace: A developmental pick taken a little higher than he should have been and inconsistent when he saw action. Overall, he showed some flashes and should be a part of our backup/rotation for another season or so to develop. Hopefully he becomes a starting caliber player by season three. JT Sanders: Terrible start to his rookie season that quickly evolved in a meteoric rise but subsequently fell off the map after a scary injury. Absolutely should be a featured player on this offense for years to come. Possibly the best TE since Greg retired.  The Rest: About as expected. Some decent flashes from Smith-Wade but these are all backup level players, so anything we get is great. There are no "busts" after the 4th round.

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

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      He's been excellent in both years, having to be the top target when he he has never been a true #1 in terms of ability.
