Some Perspective Being Provided Today... Perhaps?

New York just blew out the Niners. The Raiders barely lost to Atlanta. Seattle just took the lead over the Patriots late in the game with a touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Sidney Rice (IIRC).

This doesn't excuse our coaching staff from their blunders, but it does mean perhaps we aren't as bad as many of us, including myself, think at this point.

I've always said we have enough talent, but if we had adequate coaching it would push us over the top for wins any given Sunday. Today illustrated that there might still be some hope if we can get it together down the home stretch, but I won't allow myself to hold my breath for it, lol.

The difference between these teams and ours is they have the staff to push them over the hump.

We can't close games.

Yup, and it holds true year in and year out.

Look at our few successful years, especially 2003 versus 2001. Look at how many games we lost in 2001 in the 4th quarter or more specifically the last few minutes of the game.

Look at how many we won in 2003 in the 4th quarter. It's about mental toughness, will, and playing from the start to the stop of every game. That last part seems to be the biggest thing we lack since our last playoff year... We never play a complete game.

Fanthink rarely puts things in proper perspective.

The team is never as good as the homers believe, and never as bad as the negativists (who will all tell you they're realists) make it out to be.

Watching lots of non-Panther games can certainly help give you a more realistic basis for comparison.

i'm glad you clarified that.

very agreed with the thread. having a chance to step back and see a few "any given sundays" happen and look at the teams we are going to be facing the rest of the way...lots of teams have problems just like us. lots of frustration in those teams and many of them are on our schedule the rest of the year.

may not be playoffs, but i don't feel hopeless at all. we can pull of an 8 win season. still short of where i thought and hoped we'd be, but better than last year.

it all depends on how they come out of the bye week, imo. but even with that...as bad as the teams are we are facing the rest of the year we could still pull it off.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is a wild statement it’s to late to save his season with six games left? That mountain of bad film as a rookie with trash coaching a weak azz line and dismal WRs. Guys that can’t catch on with other teams or guys traded to teams that are subpar at best. We put Bryce in a terrible situation to start his career does that matter to you or you feel he should’ve, as a rookie elevate this dumpster fire. If you’re giving him a fair assessment judge him off the last four games a good o-line decent WRs still not comparable to any other young QB WR room Hou (tank/nico..) Tua (Hill/Waddle) Caleb (Moore/Rome/Allen) let’s see what he can do with a decent structure around him for the next few weeks then let’s revisit how we’re going to grade or assess his performances.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By KSpan · Posted

      As a bit of counterpoint, if he wanted to continue his professional career then handling it like a mature adult was the only option. Dude had been playing like absolute ass and needed to own it. It's great that he did but it's not like he didn't have a large amount of self interest in doing so. Not picking on Bryce specifically here, as this applies to any player or even anyone struggling early in their career. And he still has a long way to go, but signs are positive.

      Ja'Tavion Sanders avoids serious injury

      By Captroop · Posted

      I agree he could still develop, but I think that could still be developed in practice. Just after a scary injury like that, I'm nervous to see him get reps in a live game situation when the best possible outcome is nothing more than worsening our draft selection. That said, I'm 100% not a doctor, so if he's clear to play, he wants to play, and there's no potential of aggravating this injury (which by all accounts it doesn't seem that is the case for this type of injury) then go for it, I guess.   But you hit the nail on the head. This draft class is really impressive. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a rookie that I'd actually prefer shutting him down. His game is so apparent that he doesn't need to prove anything at this point. Can't remember the last time that happened!
