Yeah that's

entirely Rivera's fault a young player made that mistake and I'm sure youcan tell that by how Smitty yelled at Rivera instead of the player.

And I seriously doubt we were on Cruise Control, running was the gameplan this game. I edited my post after, so I don't hink you saw this, so I'll quote it here.

"This was hard fought battle that went to the end. We played a top 3 defense and Shula called a game right. You want to run more than pass against a top 5 defense with an amazing secondary. Especially when they have a depleted d-line and in the heat and having traveled cross country."

The gameplan was never Air it out, the Seahawk's secondary is too good for our lackluster receiving core. We run it and make short passes, make them tired and bring in Saftey help and then go deep, just drops and other errors cased it not to come together.

But yeah, Shula's fault.

I haven't out the blame on Shula. I felt he left something to be desired, but whst I am saying is we lose in a systematic way. The pattern is set. The blueprint is the same and we follow it time after time.

And you know as good as I do 99% of players aren't going to show their coach up during a game. Smitty had every right to rip into Armond, he should've known better after the first penalty. But he did it again. That is accountability. If you don't know, ask someone. Or... you could just go out there like an idiot and do the same thing because you have no fear of being held responsible for it by your joke of a coach. Perhaps Smitty ripped into him like that because in a locker room with a losing culture and a coaching staff thst doesn't know how to win, maybe he knows no one else will.

Why do you need to blame anyone?

Because, it was the same crap. If our season continues in another direction great. But we are all shell shocked from slow starts and 7 points is reminiscent of the past. Cam was efficient as was the rest of the offense but 5.2 ypa for cam is uncharacteristic and for a guy who throws a good deep ball is a little disappointing.

Listening on the radio, Ginn had his man beat by 5 yards and Cam stared down Olsen. We need plays designed Ginn because Cams eyes go from Smith to Olsen to run everytime. Some guys need to be game planned for.

The reason the Ginn thing worries me is because Cam did the same thing in preseason. He stared down Olsen and had Ginn streaking past the safety. He also had Ginn break open when Lafell dropped that pass against the Ravens. He's got to look at his options and quit being a 2 read guy.

You do realize late in the game we were all the way down to the Seattle 10.....ready to take the lead against the team most our crowing the NFC Champs?

If Williams doesn't fumble.....it certainly was a good called game.

People seem to forget no one puts up big numbers against Seattle. A good game is being in position to win against them. We were.

Shula actually schemed pretty good IMO for Seattle and based on how the game flowed.

 

Bingo!

 

The Panther offense, just wasn't on the field enough, due to some of those Penalty calls on the defense, and critical drops by the Panthers, keeping them off the field.

 

However, they marched down the field when it counted late in the 4th qtr, minus D'Angelo's fumble of course. Oh well.

How many head coaches with 35 seconds and 3 timeouts before the half would run one running play and then let the clock expire?  Why not take a shot to Ginn downfield. I think we were on maybe the 35 yard like.

 

We were inside our 20 and thy had two timeutse left, and turn over would've been disastrous. I don't agree with Ron running out the clock a lot, but that time it was 100% the right call.

I agree, and I think he's starting to learn that.

 

I hope he picks up on that next week.

If you throw it deep to Ginn, with 30 secs left ending the half, the worst thing that can happen is, Seattle gets' the ball back near their goal line with the clock running out.

It wasn't a 30 seconds left. Hell, the first play of the game should be thrown deep to Ginn if he's open. Try to out throw Ginn if he's one on one. More than likely to hit Ginn or grass than the defense.

We now understand why you're not a head coach in the nfl.
