Panthers' Scoring Drive

As the two-point conversion fails.

49 yards in 7 plays, taking 2:34 to accomplish. Officially 42 yards on the pass from Moore to Steve Smith.

Panthers 12, Vikings 7, 14:49 left in the game.

Well they proved one thing at least

That they are the same ol’ Vikings we know and loathe (at times). I think that if this is the best they can do, I’m not as interested in watching them down the stretch. They’re just going to under-achieve and choke anyway.

So pathetic. And to think I almost drank the effing kool-aid, too.

by Wytefang on Dec 20, 2009 9:45 PM CST reply actions  

?

Like I have no reason for my remarks. Are you even effing watching this craptacular game? And you think this is the team that has a chance at a Super Bowl? Losing to a 5-8 team with second stringers? No offense. No O-line? Peterson has been useless for weeks (even last week he barely got it done). Time to trade his underachieving ass for a younger QB (thanks Favre for the 11 wins but it’s clear that we’re not going to go anywhere in the playoffs this year).

Sorry, when reality intrudes, it’s best to just face it and move on.

Do people still somehow believe that we’re magically SB bound? After seeing this utter debacle? Seriously? Because I’d LOVE to get some of the crack you’re smoking.

No matter what the record says Chilly is not a good coach.

He might have increased our wins by 2 each of his years but I have not seen him make adjustments to win a game, nor have I seen him out-coach other coaches. He coaches as a GM getting good players and they win for him, he doesn’t coach to a win.

This Sucks

I have said it before. The O line is over rated. McKinny outright sucked. He’s a rookie and rookie OTs don’t get it in the first year or 2.
Why didn’t we go out and get help at LB when EJ went down.
Why weren’t we double teaming Peppers when he started being an issue?
These guys better stop playing down to teams and get some consistancy?
PLAYOFFS!?! One and out if these guys don’t get someone to open their mouth and pump up that looker room. Sure ain’t our coaches.

Unless something change in the next two weeks, this season will threaten to just fizzle out, like a wet stick of dynamite. Everything seems to be moribund: pass offense, run offense, pass defense, run defense, kick returns. Well OK, maybe kick coverage had no issues.

to fo down to Miami this year. Even if I couldn’t get in the game. I am getting old and if Jerry Jones has his way the football will go the way of MLB and NBA where only the fat cats get the big players. All the more reason we need a new stadium.

I'm hoping McCoy will be there.

I really think he is the best pro prospect and he may drop into the late 2nd Why??? Cuase teams want prototypes, not leaders and gunslingers. But wait. Favre, Rothy-not exactly prototypes

by CitrusFLViking on Dec 20, 2009 10:49 PM CST reply actions  

The knock on McCoy

is that he doesn’t really have great arm strength. His mobility and accuracy are nice, but he’d have to sit for a year or two to be ready because of the fact that Texas doesn’t run a lot of plays from under center.

by JTW on Dec 20, 2009 10:51 PM CST up reply actions  

rothy not prototype?

he’s like 6-6 has a cannon arm. he’s a perfect pocket passer who just has the athletic ability to throw on the run.

by Goken17 on Dec 20, 2009 10:51 PM CST up reply actions  

He is a pocket guy, Yes

Bu the is not the lean, light toed guy I am describing. They look at guys lke David Carr, Ales Smith, Brady Quinn, Sam Bradford, etc. These guys have to learn to take the pro level beating and some of them mentally can’t adjust. Or, are not gien the time. Look at how Alex is doing now. OK bu tit took a long time. Carr never adjusted, Quinn is in the same catagory. I’m afraid Sanchez will be another. A guy with some free-wheeling background is usually the one that makes it-thus, a Rothlesburger

but chilly doesnt know how to make mid game adjustments

by Goken17 on Dec 20, 2009 11:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Playcalling

was sketchy on both sides of the ball

defense-
moore is obviously a terrible qb, and steve smith is obviously a great wr. so why wasnt he doubled 100 percent of the game. we are getting shredded for 299 yards (TO MATT MOORE), i didnt see any benny sapp (unless he is no longer our nickel back) so no nickel coverage.

offense-
has bevell ever heard of a screen? HB and/or WR? or maybe a draw, to get in behind peppers. three step drop? anyone? you can blame the o line all you want, but if they are being overwhelmed. and obviously they were. you need to get the ball out of the qb’s hands as fast as possible.
i mean, thats football 101.
and wtf happened to the deep ball to berrian? i mean. i realize favre has a crush on sidney but seriously. we need to take advantage of the burner someday
