*Depressing Post* This could be the start of a landslide.

So you're saying another 6 years before we sniff the playoffs?

Even I'm not that down.

Well, 97 was our real wake-up-to-the-NFL call. Collins quit, Kevin Green went to SF for MONEY of all things, we came back down to earth, and things kind of sucked for a while. I think we've all grown up a little since then.

It's not like 03, where our O-Line was old and so was our star back. Or 05, when we had to depend on Deshaun Foster and still didn't have a number two WR. This time our offensive talent is young and solid, and we have some good youth and leadership on defense as well.

I'm in Dallas right now where they're still reeling from the whupping that the Eagles laid on them at the end of the season. Things could be a TON worse for the Panthers.

kerry didn't quit in 97, that was 98. he had his jaw broken in the preseason by romonowski. kevin green went to SF not for money, but because they'd allow him to wrestle in the wcw. I'm not kidding.

This has to be the most fuging ridiculous thread I have ever read. the Doom and Gloom that comes from our fans and people on this board after a loss amazes me.

We got the crap kicked out of us...it happened. Jake played terrible. And yes, the defensive gameplan for this game was poor.

But, we were 12-4 with the 2nd best record in the ENTIRE NFL.

Get past it.

Yep, true, and if you youtube it you can find some of his old matches there. He even came out to the fight song, believe it or not.

We have a defensive head coach yet we can't find a defensive scheme to stop Fitz.....

We played the same defense as we played in the first meeting where Warner torched us through the air.....and they made us pay for it even more this time.

Our best corner (Gamble) wasn't covering their best receiver (wtf????)......

Fox said before the game he was hoping Boldin would have played - Oh Brother!!!

Smith is great because makes all these "adjustments" to the ball in the air....why can't we hit him stride on a deep ball once in a while? Our QB doesnt have the arm to get it out in front.

Jake is a chucker.....He was chucking it up there hoping for the best the entire game. He has done it a lot this season and gotten away with it - thanks to Smitty.

How many people actually think we will get back to the playoffs with a first round bye again next year?.....Especially with the same cast of characters - maybe even minus Peppers? Gloom and Doom is here to stay and next year is going to be even more difficult.

Hows that second best record treating us now?

Record don't mean sh*t after a certain point, we knew the Titans were a product of their schedule, not a good team.

Don't read it if you don't like it.

Go play catch with Jake, just be prepared for most of his passes to go over your neighbors fence, and the rest will be picked off by anonymous people.

Similarly, this is the most fuging ridiculous point to hang yer hat on. Ask the Patriots how they felt losing the SB after going undefeated. 14-2 is nice and hopefully it's a good sign for next year, but in no way does it make losing to the Cardinals at home any easier.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
