San Fran is not a bad team. They had the Falcons beat until Nate Clements fumbled an INT return when he should have taken a knee and the game would have been over. They have been done in by poor late game execution and bad coaching (Singletary is not ready to be an NFL coach).

Keep in mind probably the only reason we won was because David Carr was under center.

Every game on every Sunday has a situation like that, where something is out of the oridinary. You can't say that's the ONLY reason we won. For all we know next Sunday, Sam Bradford could have a bad day, or their defense or we could just play even better. Or we might suck.

There is no ideal, consistent game week after week. That was one of the inconsistencies. We could also say the only reason we didn't BLOW OUT the 49'ers is because our run game has yet to take off. I mean there is like a million combinations. Every week, a win is attributed to multiple factors for or against a team. That was one of them that worked out in our favor.

In the end, when all is said and done, we played good enough to win. In the end that's what matters.

You could also look at it from this perspective - we passed up a sure 3 by going for it on 4th down (The Gettis miss), then held them to get the ball back and score the tieing TD (which would have been a go ahead score if we had kicked the 3 earlier).

you can go crazy with all the what ifs and maybe's.

This is not the BCS, a win by 3, 30 or 1, all count the same - I am more happy for an interesting game to watch for a change. I'm happy we won, but more happy that we didn't roll over and mail it in.

David Carr being just prevented them from passing for a single first down for almost an entire half.

Yeah, stuff like that happens all the time.

Bottom line, our defense looked meh, and our offense looked like it is improving but is still very much meh.

Great we won, but we're not yet to the competitive level. Complain about the truth if you want, but the same people on here that are getting pumped about this win are the same one's that will cry in utter disbelief when most of the rest of our schedule shows how pathetic our offense really is.

How much football do you watch? It happens each and EVERY week we've had our backup play along with about 15 other teams it happens. No one cares if your backup is good enough to complete passes ask any cowgirls fans. Or steelers or Lions down to there third string or arizona or bears etc. Thats an exscuse no one cares who is playing qb the are paid to do their job like everyone else. poo they werent saying oh we beat the panthers and Jimmy C because he couldnt move the ball it was simply we beat the Panthers end of story.

The rest of our schedule is actually against lessers defenses than we have seen? What are you talking about the only defensive test are B.more and Pitt. wow the mighty ATL d or the rams what about NO who Jimmy could have beat or Az man please it gets easier for our offense not harder. Oh yeah the browns 24th in the league our O may have been pathetic but we are on track might not be fixed but we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were and with a few weak defenses the next few weeks we should be good to go.

      2024 post mortem

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      The coach- Canales was a rookie hc and at times looked like it. But he did manage to revamp the offense, helped Bryce not look like the biggest bust of the draft, exuded positivity,  and made the panthers watchable again. We have a viable head coach for the first time since rivera The gm- Morgan had some hits and some big misses. Hits- the ol, Coker,demani, dj at first. Misses- almost every d player signed, brooks, the jury is out on x. I get what he was trying to do with brooks/Hubbard but it blew up in his face. Hopefully he learns from his mistakes. But he did trade mingo for a 4th, managed to get a 2nd rounder this year from the Rams and I am a fan of constantly churning the bottom of the roster The draft- x can be a solid player but not until he catches the ball, brooks was a high risk pick that didn't work out, Wallace, demani and Chau Smith can be solid contributors and showed glimpses, Coker and jt should be mainstays. And flipping a 7th round lb that was about to be cut for Jackson was a great move.  The offense- had its ups and downs but Bryce has turned from one of the biggest busts in nfl history to a potential franchise qb, that change is worth its weight in gold, thielen was crafty and underrated as usual, Coker was a gem, jt was the solid but has some growing to do, and Hubbard has been awesome, the o line was much improved as well The defense- well...they set records, injuries, poor coaching (imo), bad playcalling and just plain sucking this defense needs everything to change, we need horn and Jackson back and we get brown back but we need bodies and an identity. If they can do with the def what they did with the o then we can challenge for the division bc we already have some pieces there.  Overall- this was a growth year full of questions and some of the major ones were answered(qb, coach). For the first time in a long time the season didn't end depressingly and I do have cautious optimism for next year. But they need to learn from the mistakes of 2024 and if they do I like where this team is headed. On to the draft and 2025

      Evero will return as DC

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      I disagree. It’s not hard to double a WR and still play the run. It’s called a bracket which you can use with a drop down safety or an OLB. Look up how it’s done. Also in obvious passing situations, doubling a wr is not hard. Falcons torched us in obvious passing situations time after time. 2 min drill, 3rd and long to where there’s no excuse to not focus more on Drake London. Mooney was out. London was the only WR Penix was looking at.  Evero simply can’t make adjustments. He’ll most likely be fired next year. Wish we would’ve just ripped the bandaid off this year. To call all people morons who think we can do better than Evero is a very ignorant and arrogant statement. Who the hell are you?

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By parker · Posted

      As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations.  We looked competitive in almost all our games.  I don't think he's hit his ceiling.  7 of 10 for this year.
