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.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I call bullshit. Brady,Manning,Brees and Burrow are all just ball distributors. And the better thier supporting cast and more experience they got the better they got. Thier best attributes were between the ears.  Now I'm not saying Bryce is gonna turn into one of them but what I want is for him. Is to have a solid roster around him and some coaching continuity too see if he takes the next step. Because everything I've seen and read after the benching is that his mental toughness and workethic are what we need in a QB

      2024 Draft Picks

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Many criticize our picks in 2024. I believe that most of them were picked because their ceiling is better than those selected before them.  XLs needs to learn how to play in the NFL. Once he gets up to speed he'll be worthy of 32nd pick.  Brooks, showed why we took him in the few games he played. The ACL injury really sucks but he can overcome these setbacks. Remember TD had 3 ACLs and eventually will be in the ring of honor one day.  Wallace will be a solid LB going forward with experience  Sanders, TE is a tough position to play. He a getting valuable playing time and will become a good TE.  Going down the remaining draft pics all seem to have a good upside. They may not be showing much now but they will start showing their worth next season.

      I think he's shown enough that if a QB fell to us at our pick we'd either draft a defensive player or trade down for more picks.
