First Take 11/11/13 Carolina vs San Fran

[RoaringRiot]

I gotta "if" for you Skip....Davis would have still been in the game after halftime IF the Panthers' D had not knocked his ass out of the game.

[TheMaulClaw]

Good stuff Dex,

It kills me how Skip and other media outlets make excuses and say San. Fran would have won if ......

San Fran would have won if this person would have been playing......

Injuries are part of the game we have lost our first and second team guards yet we don't make excuses about starting a defensive tackle at guard.

Yeah we could play that "what if" game too.   What if they didn't recover a punt we blocked oddly enough?  What if they would have called that Vernon Davis fumble correctly?  What if Smitty wouldn't have dropped that long pass over the middle on 3rd down?

[rayzor]

quick everyone get offended that noted ignoramus skip bayless didn't oil our johnson

i'm always amazed that anyone ever wastes their time or energy watching that guy...or pretty much anything on espn.

 

he's not even entertaining and listening to those two hacks "argue" is a more annoying fake fight than anything pro wrestling has to offer.

 

i can't ever handle more than a minute of those guys before i just have to turn it.

It's not their job to watch film. This leads to shoddy journalism and over generalizations more often than not. The sports casting world will know a lot more on November 19th if we are able to pull it out just because everyone will have access to the game. That said, he is right about Kuechly.

I have a feeling that was a blown coverage and Kuechly recognized the call as soon as he saw the tight end split the seam. Something went wrong in the pre snap call and there wasn't going to be a safety there which Kuechly recognized almost immediately.

That's not based on anything other than how the play unfolded and how unscripted it seemed to be that Kuechly was 30 yards down field with no safety within 5 yards.

Don't bash me for this interpretation because that's all it is, an interpretation, I could be wrong.

 

IMO it's a perfectly reasonable interpretation. In the moment I was only super happy that the receiver couldn't hold on to the ball. But now I do realize just how weird it was for Keek to be so far downfield. Heads up hustle play by him.

I thought the same thing. I said to myself why is there no safety over the top of a linebacker when the play is downfield.

Vernon Davis was in the game for 2 quarters and he did nothing still held to 3 field goals so I don't think him being in the game is even a valid point

[Mr. Scot]

Well from now on I'll run all my Panther related threads by you before I post. Sorry for the trouble I caused.

 

Not criticizing you or your thread.

 

Just sayin' I don't put a whole lot of stock into what Bayless says. 

[mav1234]

We are getting more recognition than we've had in nearly half a decade, and we're worried that Skip Bayless isn't satisfied?

[CPcavedweller]

If Ron is happy, I'm happy.

[Kurb]

FWIW, Skip has a valid point about Vernon Davis. He was taking either Davis or Luke out of the box running routes. When he went down they could focus on Gore and as such pwned his face.

In a cover two defense the MLB is responsible for the deep middle.

With our dbs playing better.....we are now running more cover two.

Literally care about nothing they have to say positive or negative.

Saw a quote from Big Money in an ESPN article yesterday, basically saying "we don't need anyone on our bandwagon", essentially talking about the media's new found love of us.

 

I agree. People jumping on this team's jock now, fug 'em.
